bonsue1118:Smoking can be stopped. When I met my hubby, he was a smoker and since I'm allergic to cigarettes, he had to stop and with time and distance from his old friends(who influenced him) he totally detest smoking. Discuss with him about it and I believe he'll change. |

Preternatura1:I dont feel good about this. I am not married and would not give consideration to a man I have this much differences with. It is important to you that your family members respect this man. You can't force it, he'll have to earn it and you won't be there all the time to make him act right. You need to agree on how to raise your children to avoid future problems. My other concern is his mother. Will you want a MIL drama? the mama seems like one you will have a lot of explaining to do to.I Can't even fathom her asking you to cook on the first meeting. she probably was testing your skills and u'll av much more cooking to do for her. The best thing is to marry someone u share a lot with. He will easily understand why you are doing what and your marriage can be more fun than hardwork. |

Yadoctora:@Yadoctora: Thanks darl. Its not easy but with God on my side, I won't change being good with loads of caution this time. Before I allow some uncircumsized philistines shatter my love life. |

gleatz:I need a giver. |
| Re: Babyosisi's Marital Advice To New And Intended Wives by gleatz: 11:09am On Mar 07, 2015 |
Khabuqi:Khabuqi: You need a giver as what? Scriptures says let he who wants friends, be indeed friendly. In that light, if you want/need a giver, you should also be a giver and you would attract your kind. |

gleatz:What scripture? I need a girl that will be giving money. I'm tired of being the spender. |

nannymcphee:Hi, you are free to address the issue from areas you choose, and thank you for your thoughtful input, it means alot. Having read and pondered on the advice I've been given on here, I am genuinely willing to compromise, like I've been told, I have to realize we are from different backgrounds and bearing this in mind will help me(i sincerely hope). I do have the fear of him changing like I've mentioned somewhere on this thread, I didn't really think too much on this because he has never been forceful with the way he thinks things should be done(he is soft spoken)till I started reading the stories here how people change after marriage, the things he has gotten me to do so far have been at my own pace, that's why I said he is very patient with me, I guess I just have to continue believing he won't change for the worse. To be honest, I'm a little worried on the kids issue especially on discipline, he is not a mean person and he said only a beast will be happy seeing his kids hurt, that he will flog them only lovingly for the best, I myself have never been flogged by anyone(not that I remember)so I don't really understand it, he says I'm a good girl and not troublesome, perhaps that's why I didn't get beaten so he will only beat if it's very necessary, I guess I can live with this. If I'm being totally honest, I must let you know that his etiquette has improved a great deal from when we first met, I just think it's taking longer than it should that's why I was worried but since most people here think we'll rub off on each other, would it be f00lish to hope for the best? Most kids in my family are bred overseas and some are sent to school overseas, we are just a closely knit family that celebrate together alot,he and I are yet to reach an agreement on where ours will be raised, I hope this goes in my favor. He has no problems with what I wear per se, he just said his mum wouldn't like it as it will be termed indecent by her, I refused because I didn't want to pretend. His mum is not really learned and he says she won't be in our lives, so I shouldn't be worried about her. I know I might sound like I'm not really sure what I want but I'm sure he is a good man, I know no one is perfect, the truth is, is that I didn't really know much about other backgrounds till I met him, so I don't want to seem like a snob by writing him off, which is part of why I didn't go to my people for advice and why we came thus far, I was kinda fascinated by him. Thank you so much. |

Yadoctora:Hi there, thank you for your thoughts on this, it's appreciated. About his mum, I know, right? I was not really surprised she asked, he already explained things to me, he said it's not something I'll have to put up with as she won't really be in our lives, so I'm not to worry about it. He really tries to do most things my way but I was worried because of the talks on people changing after marriage, I now understand things don't have to be done my way always so I'm compromising. It's been made clear my family will treat him the way I do, so I'll be supportive of him and give them something to work with, hoping that they understand it, he is not a poor man so he won't have to always be in their face, people in my family have lives and everyone has a voice, so I'm sure that if he's really what I want without reservations, they will be onboard. I love him and I hope to work on myself too, he's just really nice and treats me right, even when we argue, he doesn't yell, I guess I just have to give back now. He and I will be seeing later today, I hope to discuss some more on certain issues with him. This is really a huge step for me. Thank you once again. |

Preternatura1:Call it quits already. . Both of you are totally different, not on the same page at all... ●You like eating out but he prefers someone who can cook his meals.. ●You prefer hiring people to do your chores, but he prefers a woman who can take care of chores. ● You prefer expensive and trendy stuffs but he thinks that wasteful. ● His accent doesn't match up to what you wish. ● You think a child shouldn't be flogged but he thinks otherwise. ●He's religious while you don't care so much about church. ● You don't like what he buys because they don't match up to what you wish. ● You don't like his dress sense. ●You both hold different views on how a child should be brought up. ● Your family may not like him ● His cutlery etiquette is bad, he fills the glass to the brim, he chews with his mouth open.. ![]() ● He told you to change your gown, you refused.. Do you really think he would have ignored if you were married? my dear, there's a lot at stake here, I really don't think any level of compromise can bring things to term..even if you compromise now, hope you can keep the compromise forever? ?.. All the best though.. ![]() |

preternatura1, As regards people changing after marriage, most people change either because ●they were pretending during courtship so their partner didn't really get to know their true being. ●situations also trigger change, maybe change in financial status, friends, partner's behaviour et al. So, not everyone change after marriage, your man may not change.. But one thing I will always advice, if during courtship your man has attitudes you can't put up with, don't marry him thinking he will change cos that change may never come.... All the best once again.. |

Preternatura1:The more I read you the more I lean towards you freeing this man He will be very miserable in this marriage and so will you He has a lot of grounds to cover I don't see him meeting up with your demands let alone the demands of your extended family He is not a good match He will spend an entire lifetime from here on not being himself or stepping his foot down( which is what I suspect will happen eventually ) and be at loggerheads with everyone in your family. This is not trial and error Go your separate ways There is a woman out there who will love him for him You are hoping to love him for what you hope he will become There is a man out there for you too |

MarvellousGod:I didn't even read you This marriage is already headed for the rocks before it began |
| Re: Babyosisi's Marital Advice To New And Intended Wives by Nobody: 1:40pm On Mar 07, 2015 |
babyosisi:Here lies everything, what if he never becomes what you wish? hope you will still treat him right? |
| Re: Babyosisi's Marital Advice To New And Intended Wives by Nobody: 1:44pm On Mar 07, 2015 |
gleatz:Yes dear, we can't stop being us. God will surely give us people that will appreciate us not the ones that will take advantage of our good hearts. |

Preternatura1:Dont let any fear dampen your hope, discuss issues and your fears with him. It was the way it was because you didnt know what you know now thus was always making it your ways. Knowledge makes people do it differently right. You stand a better chance with this man than being always in fear like your sisters who married their class. Speak to him about your fears, watch him closely and pay attention to how he discussed them, you will know how genuine he is from this. Also make him open his fears about you, i think he has some too. The most important thing is that you both want to make a compromise now. |

Tnks 2 all 4 ur advice. Fine he could change his smoking habit. He lied 2 me wen he ws asking me out abt his job, he lied 2 me that he ws in a particular company as an account officer, I latter found out he ws a driver to d auditor. Although wen he ws working he gave me all I needed, infact he do beg me 2 make request, bt am nt use 2 dat, he gives me weekly allowance. Unfortunately his boss ws transferred 2 ghana den he stopped working. His worried ws cos of me because he believe I might start looking else in which I never did. Fortunately he 4 us, he got anoda job ds month(driving). He also lied 2 me abt his qualification dat his an HND holder in which I latter discovered, infact am nt sure he completed his ND. And as for me, I had my ND, nd currently running my degree program. Truly he cater for me, he doesn't womanise, his faithful. Should I stil continue wit him, or leave him nd move on. |

bonsue1118:He's not just a smoker but a liar too?How many other things is he lying about? Giving up smoking takes the willingness of the smoker and a lot of self-discipline.He may quit or not.Are you okay with a driver?Are you willing to go into marriage with a driver? If he meets your standard,then continue with him. |

thorpido:Nna na wa o Now his smoking is an insignificant issue sef |
| Re: Babyosisi's Marital Advice To New And Intended Wives by thorpido(m): 2:42pm On Mar 07, 2015 |
babyosisi:Abi now.The smoking is even just a part.It's his integrity that is the bigger issue here. Bonsue118,you say he doesn't womanise?Was that what he TOLD you? |
| Re: Babyosisi's Marital Advice To New And Intended Wives by Nobody: 2:43pm On Mar 07, 2015 |
babyosisi:The man and her are the way they are because of their backgrounds, it was tougher before because she thought her way was the best. The good thing is, he is willing to make changes as she has made up her mind to. A man who goes ahead knowing who is mother is to warn her of the dress she is wearing and also protect her afterwards speaks volume, she just need to be sure he will always do this and she need to do same with her family. Even girls who marry their class have inlaw issues, the basic necessity is for a man to love and protect his woman always or would you rather she marry her class and be agitated always like her sisters. Love cut across class too as much as i understand the marrying your class thing. You know when i looked beyound the surface of the written background of ONEGAI on here, it is hard to believe she will offer the kind of advice she gave, but she learned through marriage. Pretenatural stands a better chance of working it before marriage and be sure of things. The major difference between a commoner and royalty is their background but love bring them together sometimes and it works with compromises and the likes. |

bonsue1118:My concern is that how can a driver afford to buy all these things and put someone on a weekly allowance? I know that he wants to keep you by all means Hope he wont do dodgy things after you are married Sounds like he is biting more than he can chew I hope he doesnt get you into trouble all in a bid to keep you The lies are also rather big and scary too. |

Floodgater:Read over all her posts and look from the eyes of the man The man doesn't have to deal with her only but her parents,nieces,nephews,cousins ,aunts and uncles This will be a rough road If this were my brother,I would want him to walk Sincerely I don't think preternatura1 is a bad person,this is not just a good match for her |

Liars shouldn't be trusted. He will continue to lie to cover up other lies.. |
