She's 28, very caring, she got pregnant after being deceived by her ex but after she delivered the baby, dude abandoned her and is currently cohabiting with another woman tho he occasionally calls and sends upkeep to the son and I fear okafor's law might play out anytime she meets with her ex and father of his son
I'm 34 and we're dating and she's being supportive as well, kind, caring and above all respectful.
Well I hope all these characters are not
pretense to get me to marry her and now our relationship and bond has gone indepth.
But I'm scared to tell my friends the lady I'm dating and want to propose marriage to has a son and I'm scared to tell my family as well.
So guys can you marry a single mother?
What's your advise, pros and cons of marrying a lady that has a child from her previous relationship.

You go cry!

When the time comes, u will no that she doesn't want but she needs you as father figure. You are being used for damage control. Imagine playing all the father role and you are seriously warned and u realized that her child is constantly the source of problems between u both.

Nomatter how kind you are, it's their World against yours. She would never put your ahead of her child. You can't freely scold a child you she expect you to nurture like your own child.

Consciously or unconsciously, she thinks about the father of their child because the love she has for her child is constantly a reference of affection.

Whenever she think or remember any bad treatment measured on her by her baby father, she assume men are bitches and you being the closest will receive all the premeditated evil on account of 'I go treat their fvck up'.

You will end up being manipulated, used and dump. If u know you don't have a mouth wide enough to shout 'God! Why me' just Waka pass..

Nomatter how sweet she appears to you now, it can never be the same. She was hurt by someone but she will eventually bleed on you and transfer her aggressions on u being the next man standing next to her. Their general assumption is 'men are evil'.

My humble opinion if u don't mind.

Why did you say he abandoned her when he still takes care of his son? In your mind you are thinking the man will disappear from the picture and only sends money isn't it? Understand you are entering a polyandry relationship and not a monogamous relationship.

Don't ever for any reason try to stop the man from taking care of his son even if you marry her that son is not yours but his. With your tone of condemning him even without hearing from him but only from his baby mama you can not be trusted

He mixes quater truth with the flawed perspective of it all one dimensionally and not considering the other party drawing conclusion from false analogy and then boom making it a true fact...and when in reality all what he says are quarter truth baked up with flawed assumptions.
You claim to open a thread about advice but here you are throwing tantrums..is this what you do for a living looking for a companion,, seeking for advice in a faceless forum while drooling and obsessing over gay threads and other diversity etc is that what you call fulfilment ..you must be a joker...if you truly want to be Happy and fulfilled in this life..try to be tolerant about people's sexual orientation, culture, ethnicity, religion,,, infact all diversity that is different from yours and work on how to better your life and that of your loved ones...

No rules bro...

Na the future go determine if our choices today make sense or not. A good woman is a good woman irrespective of her mistakes.

I have dated 1 single mom and was Fwb with another... 1 was a bitch the other was cool headed lover at heart.. but just got preggy at 19.

It depends on what you want. Most times guys that do that either settle for training the stepson or send him to village to grow with granny. But it depends on what you want.

I didn't settle with mine though... so I cut the relationship off at 3 to 4 months because the likeness was getting too much.

She was mature. Na societal pressure they make most guys run from single moms dem no be say the babe no tick all your boxes.. ngl it's a huge baggage
mehn thank you bro

Don't marry her, since she has a son, because that son will go back to his land. Nigeria men loves their father property, but if it's a girl child you can accept her, and monitor her till she reach 19 or 20, then you can Bleep her, to fulfill the scripture that says the husband man that labor must be the first partaker.

These are the questions of my ex-girlfriend 4 years ago. The conversation lasted about 3 hours. The conversation happened several times. The questions were as follows. I am divorced. Father of two children.

How many children do you have?
How old are your children?
How much money do you give for the children per month?
Who do the children live with?
How often do children visit you?
Do you visit them?
How long do the children stay with you when they come to visit you?
What are my obligations to your children?
What if your children decide to live with you later?
Will your children accept me?
Will your children accept our future children?
After your death, how will your property be divided?
****
Are you in touch with your ex-wife?
If: yes.
How often are you in contact with your ex-wife?
Do you talk on the phone or see your ex-wife?
What is your relationship with your ex-wife?
What is your ex-wife's attitude towards you?

We sat across from each other. She looked at me dead serious and asked questions.
That's how it looks. When it's about men. When a woman is a girl and a man has children.
And when the situation is reversed, then women talk about love.

Rizzputin:
Most single mothers are sweet, caring and supportive when they like you.

In fact, they can be so caring and well mannered you'd want to marry then asap.

But... it's a trap. They're merely pretending. Once they get what they want from you (marriage), her bad side will start showing.

Take note, I didn't say "true colour" Because someone's true color isn't just their bad side. It's a combination of good and bad. So, once she gets married to you, the bad side of her true color will show. And some times, it may not be a bad side you might want to deal with or handle.


The second reason why you should never marry a single mother is because she has a hidden resent for men. Her story is typical amongst single mothers. Their exes are always "deceiving" them.

But regardless of how sad their ex story is, she CHOSE to date him. CHOSE to sleep with him unprotected. So even though her ex will get a majority of the blame. She gets the blame too. No matter how bad she paints her ex, it's the same man she opened her legs for and had a baby with.... and it's the same man that's now the father of her child...

Which brings me to the third and biggest reason....

No matter what you do or sacrifice, no matter your love for each other.... that child will always be above you in her heart & mind. The child's needs and wants will be placed above yours.

Which means a strong connection and attraction will always be to her ex. Her ex can use the child to get to her heart and between her legs again and again.

Worst of all, the ex can make life a hell for you if he wants the child to come and stay with him. If the woman doesn't agree, you'll find yourself entering into a war you shouldn't be in.


On that note, the best thing is to repay her in whatever capacity she has supported you and bid her fare well.

The only time I MIGHT consider a guy marrying a single mother is if the father of the child is dead.

If not, it's a bad idea

men bro this is deep, harsh as it sounds but that's bigger truth.. even if you're married to a fresh lady the moment she gives birth her love, attractions, care and focus shifts from you to her child.
We all know women use love, care and all forms of deceptive guise to manipulate men into marriage and once this has been achieved she now prioritizes her child..
So I may not be surprised her first child from a previous relationship would be prioritized.
Omo sha women plenty ooo so I guess I'll have to start looking elsewhere.
Moreover till now I've kept it a secret from my parents and friends cos shame dey catch me cheesy
Dude, I hope I wasn't late to give you my opinion here.

If you truly love the lady, but the only issue is that she has given birth b4, I'll advice you to get together with her and tell her your mind.

The only solution to this is for her to give the child to her family so that she can start a new life with you, atleast the baby daddy will always visit the family anytime he wants to see the baby and there won't be any reason for them to meet for anything.

No problem without a solution.

How good is your relationship?

Have you guys worked on your flaws, communication skills (very important), pride, anger, trust, forgiveness and compatibility?

If yes, go and marry her.

Love her son like yours.

In my extended family, several men have married single mothers and some have had their ex-wives remarry other men.

Okafor's Law is a myth made up by Nigerians. Because Nigerian women, once they're over you, you better be ready to SPEND before they give you eye again. So if her ex is already cohabiting with another woman, rest assured she dislikes him enough not to want to even kiss him. Even if he comes back to beg, he has to come back with oodles of money to tempt her.

All my single mother friends, when their exes tried to return, ran so far away it was crazy. One even hired fake fiance to chase her ex away. Once a woman is over you, the way her eye will be clear in seeing you, mehnnnn no going back.

If you are worried about what people will say, maybe you shouldn't marry her. Because bros, you should be able to look anyone confidently in the eye and say "and so? E consign u??".

If you're not strong enough to do so, don't marry her. If you are, go on soun.
Re: Is It Advisable To Marry A Single Mother? by Onegai(f): 6:41pm On Oct 24, 2024
Okafor's Law actually works more for the men than women.

A lot of Single Dads would happily show up and sleep with their exes. They're always chyking them. The single mums are very unforgiving once they've gotten over the man. If okada hits their ex, they'll cry and post about it on their WhatsApp status or on Twitter for sympathy, without going to the hospital to check for him.

And if there's another woman involved, it's even worse. The baby mama's pride would never let her touch that man again. Which is why what would sway them to sleep with their exes is money, lots of it.

Don't be deceived, all what she told you was all lies and if you want to be sure if truly what I'm saying is right, why not try and get in touch with the guy that impregnate her to confirm what I'm trying to say but mind you, the moment you tell her that you want to ask something from her ex, you will find the shocking moments of your life, women can pretend and lies alot just to gain what ever they want, l wont want you to get too far with her before you realize what im telling you, forget that shes beautiful or shes financially ok, those r the tools women use to get man like you, forget about the pussy that has been smashed by many men before you and besides i can boldy tell you that u r not the only one smashing her at the moment, and again l got one questiom to ask you, what if u married her today and tomorrow she find another person better than you, do you think she will be with you?

A man will sleep with a woman and slút shame her afterwards yet don't see himself as a slút... technically,....it's not okafor's law playing out when a man sleeps with an ex.....it's a boost in his ego and an opportunity to slut shame her again

U r get what sex means to guys that why u can say okafor's law works for men than women....
