This is pointless, most women who have lived a life they are not especially proud of before getting married will do everything to keep it hidden from a spouse... while those who have the confidence that they didn't live a disappointing life have no problem spilling it all. Simple! This here is not even about society castigating or shaming women, it's about the women themselves harbouring some form of guilt. So you actually know that abortion is bad, yet you did it - so you actually know that sleeping around can make people see you as loose, yet you did so - so you actually know that telling these things to a man may make him look at you different, yet you continued... Lol.. Guilt is all it is, anyone who doesn't feel overwhelmed with guilt will talk about his/her past no matter how bad as long as he/she has come to terms with it, accepted it as a mistake of youth, and moved on. Let's not try to blame society for this, society didn't force anyone to open their legs and knees with reckless abandon. 9 Likes 2 Shares |

*Yawn* Politically correct response is without a doubt No secrets. BUT Large % of average Nigerian women will rather take their "colourful" past to their grave than open up to her judgemental conditioned fiancé (or his relatives). Let's face it , how many Nigerian men will conveniently flaunt their 'previously wayward high school/college chic' as a wife? Yall not mentally & emotionally equiped for that level yet. You'll get there. No offence atall. Just being real ni Look at those bigger boys in school(Uni) as a good example, after using all the popular girls like rubber bands through 4/5years of cohabitation and endless daily fvcking, they come up with stupid stories prior to NYSC and finally end up wifing a 'reserved' chic. And I trust the gals too... They'd rather go to kafancha and chose their men. Infact most of them marry clueless Yankee/Europe boys. (Karma is a reaaal biiatch ![]() Too many examples but I'll keep my mouth shut coz its a small world out here. It is well. Just shine your eyes yall and smarten up! Ain't judging Nobody.. It's the Survival of the smartest out there in the dating jungle. Ciao! 2 Likes |

harveyspec: Do you suppose that the woman still has feelings for Emeka or that emeka will want to do something with her or that emeka will be stupid to tell the husband that he did things with the wife years ago How many grown men are that foolish? What do you take women for Some immature beings that can't handle themselves or what If I ran into a man I had any dealings with,I will decide if I want to acknowledge him or not,first of all and the level of acknowledgement I accord him is totally dependent on me It could be a hello and a how are you handshake and that's about it If I decide not to make any contact whatsoever that will be my choice I know this is the internet so I am risking conversations with minors and teens on threads like this You are watching too much Nollywood Real life ain't like that 2 Likes |

As an aside I thought I'd mention this here for those who think that men and women are affected by the same rules in relationships. A study conducted by the University of Virginia last year shows that women who played the field before getting married are less happier than women who entered matrimony as virgins. Same studies also showed that men's happiness was unaffected whether they 'played the field' or not before marriage. The findings were published in 'Before 'I Do': What Do Premarital Experiences Have to Do with Marital Quality Among Today’s Young Adults?', published at the University of Virginia. Look it up ladies. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2733220/Women-don-t-sleep-wedding-happier-marriages-men-play-field-without-worry-study-finds.html 1 Like |

Ewuro4: This is not a Nigerian or African thing. It universally applies to all men. Women tend to hide their colourful past, whether they be British, American or Nigerian. Men are displeased (and that's putting it lightly) to learn about their wife's or partners escapades from the past from sources other than the wife, this applies to Nigerian, American and Russian men. There was a story on Reddit early this year, it has been taken down by OP on that site where a man, American, learnt about his wife's 'party years' by stumbling across some videos of the wife being banged by several guys in her university days. Interestingly the woman had always been sexually reclusive with her husband so he was beyond shocked to see her taking it from several guys at once all the while shouting how such a whorê she was. There were several videos. The man has since filed for divorce. The woman's defence was that she did those things way before she met him and so she didn't have to tell him of it and that she had been faithful to him since her marriage. Such a position cannot undo the hurt the man must have felt. There is no way he can see her as the loving wife she now claimed to be. Makes you wonder about the girls on places like college girls gone wild and the poor fool that will marry them. Ladies, come clean on matters like this. Your partners deserve to know the truth about you. It's the best policy. 3 Likes |

babyosisi: Whether he would have agreed to marry her if he knew about this earlier is not the issue. He would most likely have had a rethink and avoided marriage - the important thing is that he would have been making an informed decision. This is different from the case where he married her thinking she was a "good girl" because of the non-disclosure of her past. Her silence about this was in effect an act of deception. 5 Likes |

If I found out today my husband did 250 abortions with 100 girls ,before he met me,it won't end the marriage at the position we are in today That news is not enough to end it I will be shocked to my bones but it it's not enough to make me leave I never asked if he sponsored any abortions That is useless info to me So if someone comes today to tell me he did,it is still useless information Shocking but useless at this point Same way if he heard I slept with okonkwo and okeke before meeting him ,it won't end things He knew I had a past obviously So kini big deal Am I sleeping with okeke and okonkwo today? 3 Likes 1 Share |

babyosisi: By refusing to disclose such a fact to her husband the woman is basically defrauding him and I am against any counsel for women to keep mum about things like this before their husbands. If after disclosing her past history to her husband he refuses to go along with the marriage it's all well and good. As painful as this may be it is better than entering into a union based on such a level of deception. All healthy relationships involve a level of deception that's true, but for matters that border on the very foundations of marriage both parties must come to terms with the each other's baggage. A woman's number count is not an issue that can be glossed over for men. 3 Likes |

ApexTitan: So for someone like me whose husband never asked about names and titles of my past relationships and I never asked him nko From the stories we tell we know the names of some of them obviously I keep wandering what people need the details for because I don't remember that discussion coming up with people I have dated Where are the men doing this asking or is it a given that women must spill their past Who made that rule? Because that is what I am reading from many of you If she hides it and I find out blah blah Find out what Was she a virgin when you met her Is it rocket science to make deductions that there were other men before you? All this name them and describe them sounds so childish IMHO So that what will happen They are not necessary for the most part People should be mature I guess many of them responding here are teens or young adults,so their answers are expected 3 Likes |

This is so releaving.. What's the point telling her about my past. I have an extremely bad temper. I have disfigured the face of an ex with ex poisoned amother & fatally poisoned another & got away with it. Had to secretly bury their remains. Telling her now would serve no purpose.

Y'all pause! It depends on the parties in the relationship/marriage. I am a chatterbox, and I have spilled every secret in the box, without even knowing. Av been with my man 10yrs now and he doesn't like to talk about his past relationships, cos he believes what is past is past. He also doesn't like to hear about my past relationships, so while blabbing uncontrollably, I may mention some guy I dated, and his countenance changes. He just doesn't wanna know so I don't talk about it. Any day he hears from someone something I did in the past, he would ask me and I will share the circumstances, because whenever I raise such a topic, I realise he is not emotionally balanced enough to receive such news. And he thinks I am also not emotionally balanced for whatever stuff he doesn't wanna talk about, so I leave it that way. When we had fertility challenges, I asked him if he had impregnated a girl b4 and sponsored any abortions, he said maybe, maybe not. Some girls have come with that story, maybe they jst wanted to squeeze money out of him, and he never followed up. I wasn't dazed by that answer, but I was dazed when he told me he knew I had been through an abortion (I am not proud of this one bit). How did he know, I blurted it out one day in useless chatter (as usual) long ago b4 we even courted. Although we never talked about it again, but he never forgot and it's not a big deal we all have our past. It's been 10 rocky but wonderful years. If he had ever cheated, he will never admit it, it's his way of protecting me, I have never caught him so he is innocent until found guilty. I have never cheated, mostly because I'm too devoted to him and if I cheat, will I tell him? I don't think so. I'm with babyosisi on this. I'll browbeat myself into order, repent and never repeat an episode. I know he can't handle it. He won't leave me, but it will kill his ego and emasculate him, thinking he can't satisfy and provide for me. That's what he fears the most. So I won't cheat, because I don't want to emasculate him, it's a chore to make him believe in himself again, I'd rather not tow that line. And it's a bigger chore to stop feeling guilty about being the cause of his pain. It will just hurt two of us... 5 Likes |
Re: Things Your Fiancé/ husband Is Better Off Not Knowing. by 4teelaw(f): 5:32am On May 29, 2015 |
babyosisi: Many of them aren't married. There's no hard and fast rule, only guidelines from people's experiences. I cannot cheat, but for those that ended up cheating, except you were caught, just let it go. The knowledge won't help your spouse in anyway except you did it to hurt the guy, then you may want to throw it in his face (yer, some women cheat just for payback!). FYI, women hardly ever get caught cheating, many women can hard heartedly take that secret to the grave. And if you ask me, even if you are accused, except there's a video evidence, "It Wasn't You". It's either you don't do it, or cover up your tracks with fresh asphalt. My two cents 2 Likes |
