Hello nairalanders, is it not funny and somewhat annoying how we can give good relationship advices to other people and we seem to be confused when faced with our own issues. Well I'm in that situation now and I need your help.

I am currently engaged to this lady and we have even done an introduction, we've been through the various phases of relationship together, the happy days, sad days, break up periods, make up times etc. I love her, but I'm having doubts as to whether I want to spend the rest of my life with her.

We are age mates but she looks older than I am already even before having kids. She has had to change her religion just to make the relationship work and I think I'm going through with these relationship out of pity for her sacrifices, I fear this pity would one day wear out and i'll start resenting her and myself. Should I be worried about these feelings or is it just the normal cold feets guys get before finally saying the "I Do". Pls help me out guys.

Will really appreciate if this can make front page, this is my first ever NL post.
Thanks!
. I dnt think u are doing all this out of pity cos, where was pity b4 the introduction and engagements, where was pity after she has to rebel against her parents, by being converted to another religion( its not easy doing dis while under same roof with your her parents ), and other sacrifices. She's not even the flirting type. From your statement, i believe your doubt emanated from her look, where u looking like this wen u started? I guess your is no. Please be careful wen making a decision, cos a bird @ hand most time is worth a life time treasure.

And did u read d part where he said he loves her? And where he asked if he's only having cold feet? He's just being a man...d feeling will pass


It doesn't always pass.


I understand cold feet. Everyone has cold feet. I remember being lightheaded in Court as I was taking my marital oath. I remember my heart pumping superfast as she walked up the isle towards me. Ofcourse cold feet is normal.

That's why when I first responded directly to the OP, I advised him to take out time for himself and have deep thoughts on this issue. Neither you nor I can make this decision for him.

He may love her, but I also genuinely loved every other girl I dated before Mrs. MadCow.

From what he has said, the woman seems to have sacrificed a whole lot for their relationship. That could be defined ideally as unconditional loveor highly devious and manipulative (depending on your school of thought). All I will again advice the OP is to go sit back, clear out his head and properly think this matter through. No one can help him but him.

Op. Don't do that.
I don't see any reason why you should Call off the relationship. The feeling of pity, is good Cos it makes us loyal And faithful. Don't use this good virtue against her.
By the way, if you do ur homework well, she will be younger than KK soon.

Brother I was in a similar position.

We have been together for 4 years. At the onset, I told her that as a Muslim she must convert if we have plans of marriage. Just recently we had no choice than to end it because she is not ready to convert. I love her but I am happy we had a serious heart to heart talk to see if we are really meant to be. Don't marry out of pity.
Ask yourself, would this pity be there for a whole lifetime you have to spend together?

5 unique ways to know you are in Love

November 12, 2015 12:00 am

Most people fall in love but they don’t actually know
These unique and outstanding points will stand as a proof.


1. Before you meet:
Have you ever have someone in mind whenever you listen to a love song, read a love story or watch a romantic movie.

Sometimes you will close your eyes during those moment and you find yourself dreaming about the
future of both of you,

If you have wished to be together with a particular person even though you both are yet to meet or talk.

Then, you are in Love


2. After you met:
Maybe in the lecture theatre or beside the alley, you find yourself standing in front of him or her, but you notice that your heartbeat rate has increased.

You keep breathing like someone who has just been saved from fallen off a cliff.

If your heart keep pounding and bouncing when in front of him/her,

Then, you are in Love


3. Before he/she concur.
It has been confirmed that 90% of genuine love doesn’t work out automatically, most times the “play hard to get” falls on the feminine side and the man has to do all doings to make it through.

But even after all her acts as if she is the queen of england, you still cannot look away, after she has even washed or insult you in public, you still cannot let go.

If you find yourself trying, trying and trying (without the thoughts of Lust)

Then, you are in love.


4. When he/she agree
Have you ever been so happy that even when someone dump happens to brake your lovely vase, you will still keep on smilling?.

Have your friends ever suspected you of a douth about you being sane or insane?, because of your needless laughter and smiles

When he/she says YES and you keep dancing like a tree whose root has been placed on oscillary motion by wind,

Then, you are in Love


5. Finally when you are dating.
Sometimes you ask yourself, am I dreaming? because you find yourself experiencing what you thought its impossible.

Love is when you take away the feelings, passion and romance of a relationship and you still find out you care for that person.

MadCow1:



Remember.. There is NO KNOWN RULE BOOK IN LIFE.

No rule anywhere says a Woman MUST be married before any particular age.

And why should a woman pursuing self enhancing causes like education and stuff ahead of emotional causes be such a big deal anyways?

I will advice my Daughters to focus on things they can achieve like Education, a career, a business, a Job, building wealth, e.t.c.. Not on things that they cant control like emotions, love and marriage.

Its not like its Girls that marry guys that we should now be blaming them for growing old without marriage. Unless you want to legalise Lesbianism, girls have no control over when they get married.

i wont say yes to a 32 year old because i have preference for younger women. so if u advise ur daughters men r distraction as is now being taught to young girls well its a challenge because young girls r being born everyday and most men won't pick a girl their own age.

so that career woman will lose out.

i say this but they delete it as they get emotional. most ppl lack capacity for original thibking. if a girl has 3 boyfriends before she gets married how is that better than being in a stable relationship from the onset. regardless if she is in university or not. so u now encouraging ur daughters to be promiscuous? which proposition is better? multiple boyfriends u sleep with over University and career then marry another vs settled with one guy as a serious boyfriend / husband to be at University?

as a father which will u choose?

or u will advise her to watch porn and wait to fulfill career?

A girl gives up almost everything for you.

One week to your marriage you're contemplating on whether or not to marry again.


isnt that wickedness?

Please tell him for me oooo.

Some men are just so evil ehhhn. Look at a good woman right in front of him and because she looks older he now wants fresh meat.

She sacrificed almost everything for him and u now want to call it quits. Y did u waste her time for in the first place ehhhhhn tell me y??

If u turn ur back on her something bad will happen to u because God does not sleep. The person u go to now will waste ur time ehhhhhn. The person will make u look so old. U will sweat and sweat and she will just leave u. Chai. This guy dnt know the thing weh him dey do. God is watching u oooo!!

U men can never be satisfied.

Chai!!!

Olorun mi ooo.

See this life..

No problem.

Please just leave the lady alone and let her find a true man biko!!

Rubbish.

A guy would feel all these just to get in there; the more hard-to-get she plays, the more determined a guy is to meet the challenge and prove to her that she ain't all that after all.
Re: We Are Engaged, But Im Having Doubts, Pls I Need Your Advice by obi123: 10:22am On Nov 12, 2015
the best thing you can do for this lady is carry your negative energy and flee from her life and give room for the person God has ordained for her , you are clearly immature but well done on recognising your issues with her before marrying her , these issues are shallow and you will find out soon that regret is a biatch .

i dont see you building her self esteem in the future, i dont see you championing her and talking her up like a queen , i see you being ashamed of her , i see you belittling her and cheating on her in the future. No human being deserves that.
Leave her pls, do her a favor

if your relationship with her is above 3 years and she is above 24 years marry her. Change your mind set, your only excuse is she is looking older than you, I have seeing some one who married a lady older than him with about 13 years.
Secondly, there are lots of girls out there but my brother what you have at hand is better than the ones dressing like Kim K.
Thirdly as much as you won't want any one to waste your time don't waste hers.
How damn you expect her to start all over again and you claim to love her. I am always afraid for my ex's to fall in a wrong hand, are you? My brother marry her quickly.

How would you claim to be afraid for your exes to fall in the wrong hands when clearly they are only your exes because your own hands were self-ordained to be abundantly wrong?

True life story. A friend (former friend) went through the same thing, the worst part was that the lady was pregnant before marriage, I and another friend convinced him to marry her cause truly, the lady is a wife material, so he married her, yet he treated her badly, now after 3 years of marriage, they are now seperated... Guy do not ever marry out of pity, unless you want to raise children out of wed luck.

I think it's just cold feet before marriage. But you need to understand that we all age someday. Besides, if she can take care of herself, she can even look younger than you. Whatever fears you have during this time, take it to God in prayer. True love is hard to come by these days. Trust me!

Quit your insecurities, believe me; marriage is overrated, 95% of couples at one time or another feel they should not have gotten married to their partner for one reason or another...Adam even complained to God about the woman that God gave him.

Whoever you eventually marry her or someone else, there will be something you will not like about them.

At the end of the day, you have to work on your marriage everyday, it is what you made of it. There are no perfect couples out there or the perfect mate.

We will all age at certain point, even if you marry a younger looking lady, what happens when that, beauty which was her main selling point starts to fade away?

You said, you guys are mates; meaning she is old compare to you, also remember that you will also age and might even age faster than her, plus in this day and age, there are many beauty products out there that can bring the Lustra out of anyone.

Jesus Christ of Upper Iweka!! Where do you come up with these thoughts?

Like seriously!

When I give birth to my daughter, I will not be raising her with the consciousness of 'MEN' in mind. I will be raising her to be independent minded. I will raise her to get self worth. I will raise her to be a strong, powerful, working, well rounded, capable woman. I will teach her how to be domestic and industrious.

I will teach my daughters to understand that there is a whole lot more to life than marriage. However I will teach them how to build a home, raise sound kids and cater for their families.

Notice I highlighted a section of your post, notice the word "I".. That refers to only you. In an ideal world, you can only marry just one other woman out there. Meaning other people with other preferences are there. Some like Older women, some like fair women, some like busty, some like smart educated strong women, some like naïve, timid and shy women, e.t.c. YOUR PREFERENCE IS NOT A YARDSTICK FOR ANYBODY ELSE BUT YOURSELF.

You can choose to raise your Daughters to be Conscious of Men and Marriage and there would be nothing wrong with that either. Its would again be one of those things that would be classified under 'YOUR PREFERENCE'.

And when you say an old career woman would loose out for choosing to enhance herself instead of throwing herself at the mercies of Men to marry her, the question I ask you is how can you lose something you never had?


Now.. Please What would you advice Girls in their early 20's who are currently in school studying or out of school working or in business and currently have no male suitors.. What would you advice them to do? Pay a man to marry them or what?

Trust me, when a guy truly loves a woman, he has zero doubt in mind, he thinks nothing but how to make her a wife no matter any circumstances, there's is no normal cold feets feeling before marriage, instead there is happiness and joy dat u are getting married, and if u don't have d happiness and joy dat u are getting married to her, then u will not get the happiness and joy after the marriage,

Why the introduction in the first place? Pls don't marry a woman out of pity, u may pity yourself at the end of everything........... Am a guy like u n I know what am saying..

u have spoken well sir. she will not be throwing herself at the mercies of men. No man/ woman can get a good husband or wife save by the power of God.

Girls in their early 20s get a lot of attention from guys but blown them off. they should at that stage be entertaining some of that interest.

success of women and being in a relationship are not mutually exclusive.

again be reminded that marriage is the prerogative of men. all im saying is that the candidate pool will be smaller for a woman if she does not make up her mind early. and there's nothing wrong with aspiring to be Linda Ikeji and just be single.

each to their own.

Trust me, when a guy truly loves a woman, he has zero doubt in mind, he thinks nothing but how to make her a wife no matter any circumstances, there's is no normal cold feets feeling before marriage, instead there is happiness and joy dat u are getting married, and if u don't have d happiness and joy dat u are getting married to her, then u will not get the happiness and joy after the marriage,

Why the introduction in the first place? Pls don't marry a woman out of pity, u may pity yourself at the end of everything........... Am a guy like u n I know what am saying..

Your statement while true for some, but it's wrong of you to generalize it and conclude that all guys will behave the same way.

We are of different temperaments and do not behave the same way under similar conditions.

Even just in the bible had a reason to develop cold feet about his marriage to Mary until an angel have to intercede. In Joseph's case, the sticking point was Mary's pregnancy, to some today, it might be sething else and there are some today who will not develop a cold feet even if their fiancée is pregnant for another.
