When Innocent Men Are Asked To Carry Baggage They Didn’t Pack by Dpsychologist(op): 12:07pm On Jun 09, 2025
So I came across this post online. A 22-year-old woman, pregnant and about to become a single mom, publicly asks for a “truthful, kind and funny male friend (boyfriend)” to help her overcome her depression, trauma, and “give her hope” to finish school. She even dropped her number.

Now here’s the thing: I’m not shaming single moms. Life happens, and everyone deserves love. But let’s call this what it really is — emotional outsourcing.

You made a choice, had a partner, got pregnant, and now the man is gone. That’s tough. But expecting a complete stranger (who had no hand in the situation) to step in as a therapist, motivator, and emotional punching bag? That’s not fair. That’s witch-hunting disguised as vulnerability.

A lot of innocent men are tired. Tired of:

Being emotionally ambushed with trauma they didn’t cause.

Being guilt-tripped into relationships to “save” someone.

Being labeled selfish for choosing peace over unnecessary stress.

Love is not a rescue mission. A relationship shouldn’t start with, “fix me.” It should start with, “let’s build together.”

Truth is, we all have scars — but it’s not your new partner’s job to heal the wounds left by the last one. That’s your responsibility.

If you're dealing with depression, abandonment, or trauma — heal first. Don’t bait someone into a relationship they’ll regret just because they were kind enough to reply.

Protect your peace. And if you’re a man reading this — you’re not evil for walking away. You’re wise.

Thoughts? Have you ever been in a situation where someone expected you to fix their past? Let’s talk.

My brother go get a life, you spend and waste too much time crying about the female folks, if that’s you on ur profile¿ why don’t you transfer that same discipline into making money. All this male feminist wey u de form online doesn’t make you better than the man who would chose to marry a single mom. At the end of the day, we all go spend forever for grave. Live and let live. You like someone, get to know them and see hw far it goes, stop putting too much pressure on ur g.f, that’s not even a wife yet.

Then what are u doing in romance section. Do you know you are nor really making sense here. Why are you not in business section.

Sometimes i wonder what you lots are trying to proof. Its not a must to comment.

My profile has thread from various sections, how comes i am only seeing you commenting on those solely from romance section.

Re: When Innocent Men Are Asked To Carry Baggage They Didn’t Pack by FitCorper:
By now I believe every male adult should already have some set of red and green flags, not installing someone else’s program into your mind blindly and wen ur g.f figures it out, u run around and scream all women are the same online.
My advice is all men should get some sets of red flags and wen u see a lady u like, get to know her, have sex, as it makes people loosen up and act free with each other (only now can you really know each other well), and until u have enough proofs to confirm green flag materials, u just upgrade her to girlfriend in ur mind without telling her. Always be confident in ursef, stop accusing her unnecessarily, she likes u well enough to Bleep you, so that should tell u something.

Single mums will not chase single Dads and other rival bad boys of the bad boys they dated for healing and emotional therapy.
It is the innocent single man they say is not their mate, the youth pastor, the brilliant chap which they previously refer to as nerdie, the soft spoken brother they once called small boy and the young bachelor they previously turned down his proposals that they will be chasing for solace, attention and acceptance. huh

Bro you no get work at all ? Are you that jobless ? What is your business with her ? Do you know how her relationship ended? If she is looking for male friend to make her happy again I believe that should be none of business.

But as you are jobless you can take that as work too to continue criticizing her.

Re: When Innocent Men Are Asked To Carry Baggage They Didn’t Pack by KillahPriest: 10:22pm On Jun 20, 2025
I see nothing wrong in what she wrote, there's no strings attached. She's depressed and made mistakes which she's trying to correct so, would you rather she commits suicide just to satisfy your male ego ? If you can't be her friend till August there's someone out there who can sacrifice that time just so she graduates and get her life together. Who knows ? They might fall in love or go their separate ways but the main thing will be two lives will be saved and an achievement unlocked.

Men, listen to me y'all..

Never forget you're the prize.

She can't even beckon on her fellow women.

Don't ever take horse crap from women all in the name of they the weaker sex or shes beautiful.

Women are very smart and emotionally manipulative but they are not as smart as they think they are because Las Las it's men that still pulls the strings.

I'm not against any single mom getting married. Shitttt can happen to anyone, but you must have a lot to offer to compensate for such shortfall. You must be distinguished for family people to defend you well when chips are down...else it's gonna be anarchy.

In Diaspora, a single mom or Dad is already a Baggage. For you to cleave to such persons in diaspora it must be for a tangible reason.
Unions abroad are transactional and u must live up to it. You must have a lot to offer and not just mere rhetorics.
U can't be a single mom and not be productive. Your stakes are higher.
U must show yourself constantly approved to prove to an innocent man the reason he should put up with you.
