Is she trying to be UNFORTUNATE?
Re: Should I Wait For My Love Abroad Or Should I Accept My Ex Back? by Charly68: 8:36pm On May 11, 2016
You are indeed in a fix but sincerely speaking,examine the two options critically & never be desperate.
The first one that has wasted 7 years of your life is violent & was engaged or married to somebody out of family pressure..he has no mind of his own & now that he has met his Waterloo,he wants to use you as parastamol ..never play second fiddle in life..have self worth. On the second man that travelled abroad but got delayed- I must confess to you that marrying the man is under a very narrow probability. He might have loved you but the condition of things abroad are not always rosy . Who knows he is hooked to a woman there to give a stay thinking that when he overcomes,he would get back to you but in most cases it does not work out as planned.. Be on the outlook for the best that God will send because your best in on your way. Don't ever allow any man to waste your time again. He who waste your time is wasting your life

Let me put it this way:

As long as you feel insecure, don't get married and don't wait for anybody.
Explore other options until you feel sure and confident. Enjoy life and everything will unfold perfectly. Don't rush, don't push. It must feel easy and it must feel good.


If it doesn't feel right, it isn't right.

I Need Your Advise Please

I will sincerely appreciate a good advise from you all.

I have been in a relationship for 7 years, in this relationship i was in, the guys father never like me from the day he heard my name. My boyfriend then asked him severally even the mum also asked the dad why he didnt like me, but he was not able to give any reason.

Myself and this my boyfriend has had several breakup due to his father not liking me.

The third time i broke up with him was because he beat me up and left several injury on me. He came back to beg and apologize and all then i accepted him back. A time came when we planed to do our wedding, when his dad heard of it he never supported it. Our Pastors asked him why he never wanted us to be together but still there was no reason given.

After this incident my family said i cant marry him since his father has never accepted me. I was not able to let go cos i was thinking how i will throw away the 7 years of relationship, but not quite long my boyfriend came to me and said he wanted us to breakup since his father wont accept, i cried n cried but at the end i decided to let go.

After 6 months i heard he has done introduction with a girl the father like and all. after a year now the same guy is now calling me saying he wants us to come back together and get married, he said he does not love the girl he was forced to do introduction with by his dad, he said he has told the girl he didnt love her and cant marry her,he also said his dad has accepted that we can get married now. DO I GO BACK TO HIM OR NOT?

During this last breakup we had, i met a very nice guy by name Sammy he has been so nice and good to me, When i and Sammy met it was not up to 6 months before Sammy traveled out of the country. He was supposed to be away from the country for 2 years then he will return and we will do our wedding. Sammy loves me alot, he is a God fearing person but recently he told me he's not sure of his coming home in next 2 years as planed, when i asked him what the new plan is and when he will return home he said he cant say, Sammy still loves me and wants us to be together but i am worried how long i will have wait before he returns. And now my ex boyfriend is saying he wants us to get married. i am just confused.

What do i do please? I need advise please.
None of them deserves you. Look out for another guy. There are many guys out there who you can live with hapilly. Step out and you will know that there are better persons.

Your lovers father does not accept you

Your ‘lover’ beats you

Your relationship with your lover has broken down 3 times

Your own family has now said NO

Look, the signs are there, it will hurt to leave the guy but you will be better for it. If he is beating you now what will happen when you marry? And you are still claiming love? What type of home are you planning to build with such a person?

You need to look at where you are going in life, ask yourself if that ‘lover’ will make you better and help you get there; all the external factors are saying NO

Notice I did not say accept your ex back, there is a reason he is your ex. You know why you walked away

Your best option is to walk away from both ‘lover’ and ex, it will be hard but you can build yourself back up and the right person will walk in. At the end of the day the decision is still yours.

Stay strong and good luck

First of all I don't trust Sammy... because men can be so crafty... I mean what do you know about his business, his earlier lifestyle and what is the real reason why he Travelled. have you done this research....
My dear don't base your heart on love alone.... because no marriage can stand on love alone

Secondly, for your ex.... I will advise you not to go back to him... One reason is that men are strong and vibrant and natural born leaders... If a man cannot stand for himself with the love he has for you and marry you even against his father''s wishes then he is not going to stand for you in much more difficult situations..

Secondly, he gave up on you too quickly, by going to marry another girl.... meaning that his father controls him... If his father hadnt accepted in the end that means he wont have come back for you....

Thirdly, think about the other woman that just got married to him... Thats one reason why you should off him

Fourthly, Wait for a genuine man.... Search the net, read books and you will understand what a real man is made up off my dear....

Love cannot keep a marriage forever... If it could then why are so many american marriages falling apart today after the expensive weddings in which the man professed his love...

Stay Healthy, Stay Wise
Good girl! You have sense and you are using it wella

Its quite obvious none of these men are meant for you.. please tell that your married ex to stop disturbing and calling you, mean it.. The dude abroad should be kept @ the friendzone.

Dear Its time for you to mingle more with men who are ready for a serious relationship and wants to settle down and in all things pray to God to give you your own man..

All the best
I like ladies for this "friend zone " They can keep anybody in that "hole "
Re: Should I Wait For My Love Abroad Or Should I Accept My Ex Back? by Megaideas(f): 9:45pm On May 11, 2016
My dear, it's a very dicey situation. How I pray another sincere man would come your way right now and I would advice you to leave the both of them and marry the third. Having spent 7 years with the first guy and some months (or probably years now) with the second, age is not on your side. I won't advise you to wait for the one that travelled as he doesn't know when he will come back (I even see an element of insincerity in that position). As for the first, be very very careful; he initially accepted the lady and turned around to tell you his parents forced him, what suddenly went wrong? Why did the parents suddenly change their minds? These are some of the questions begging for answers. By the way, if the parents forced the girl on him and he accepted, then he's not man enough; be rest assured he will dance to their tunes after marriage. But any family you are entering, make sure both your spouse's parents and yours give their consent because parental blessing is critical to a successful marital life. God bless you as I wish you all the best.

7yrs no be beans oh, but also think about your happiness too. Will you be happy there? remember, "a million of broken relationships is better than a broken marriage." Dearie, the scares of others should teach us(ladies) caution. Patience is very important. let that ex know that levels have changed. 7yrs is small compared to "till death do us part" Reason am babe...
Re: Should I Wait For My Love Abroad Or Should I Accept My Ex Back? by koolaid87: 10:40pm On May 11, 2016
I see no way in both, no disrespect...If the first guy loves you that much, he wouldn't have left in the first place, regardless of his father's approval. And the second guy, It's not something you can rely on...its a 50/50 chance of him coming back to you, and please always take out (God fearing stuff) out of it, it makes you still appear gullible..

Be open minded for a new relationship.

Peace!

Sister first,ask the guy that travel outside Nigeria his work,let it not be that he is dealing in drug trafficking. If he is working ask him if he can bring you to the place. Then if he says no you start looking for another man. Because a man may travel with hope to return in 1 year but the person may return in 5 or 10 years time. and also have in mind to love him whether he have money or not. i have in mind to return in 1 year time but i have stay 3 years here. if he can bring you where he was now is better.

Use your ex to be servicing your engine until your Overseas Bobo arrive..


Seriously..



OP,

Your first relationship of Seven years sounded like Comedy to me and you should be thankful you did not enter that marriage for the following reasons;

1. The Boy (yes I called him a Boy cos he does not sound like a Man) sounds like he is indecisive and requires parental consent to make any move. Today is who to marry, tomorrow it will be something else.

2. If He beat you up and left bruises on you once, he is very very likely to do it again. That was a potentially abusive relationship.

3. He sounds like a weak sissy boy who shouldnt be getting married to anyone just yet until he is sure of himself and his decision.

4.


On your second relationship, I don't think you have any relationship. I say so for the following reason;

1. I don't trust Long Distance relationships especially one built on just a barely 6 Months foundation.









My Advise to you::
Stop Chasing Marriage and focus on improving your life and self worth cos I dont like the picture I have of you in my head.

Hope when she is 30-something and complaining about being single. You will not say that why did she not agree for all the men that were toasting her.

Don't marry a man who beats you. Abeg, sister! Ronke Shonde and all those other women who survived are testament to the fact that the 7 years you are afraid of throwing away will be child's play compared to what you will face. No one is telling you to marry the "abroad guy" either. Sister, breathe, and do the right thing. We want you alive, and here. Hugs.

Please be careful how you advise people before you seriously damage people. This is over-generalisation.
A friend advised my teenage love I left in 9ja to study abroad exactly like same.

While I was trying to make ends meet as a foreign student, trying to do nothing against the law, avoiding all the succulent babes from wealthy families in my school, my 9ja babe went ahead and marry another person.

Quite funny that the guy she married is also a very abusive man. When I returned, she was in the middle of one their many break-ups.

Anyhow, she's enduring a torrid marriage now. I was initially devastated, but I have moved on now.

Check some of my old posts from years back. I have mentioned this many times before.

Many people studying abroad have to work very hard to see themselves through, financially & emotionally. No sorting or buying pamphlets to pass.
Please stop your generalisation, and quit sounding authoritative on this issue.



Men are so crafty does not mean all men are bad... It means every man would do what seems right at that moment in time... It may be right in his eyes and wrong in other eyes. It means men are capable of change. It means you cannot trust a book by its cover.. Thats why I advised her to do her research... and once again I understood your plight

The reason why you girlfriend left you might have even been your fault or her fault... all the same when we are in love we fail to do the most important things
which are:

1. Know our lovers past lifestyle
2. Learn his/her behaviours when she/he is angry, upset or even happy (this will go a long way to define him/her)
3. Learn to decode every first response to every single thing he/she does

If you had done this and much more... your predicament would have been different

My girlfriend and I were happy as far I could tell and I never thought that we would break up. When her cousin died in a tragic car accident she went to her family in Mexico for a week. I couldnt go because I was in the middle of entertaining out of town clients for work. She did not seem to be upset that I could not go so I let her be. The next thing I knew, she reconnected with an old friend from high school that she had a crush on years back and they started to have an affair! I had no clue what was going on until she came back from Mexico. She proceeded to see this old friend and I caught her and her old friend one night hugging each other. I confronted her and she told me the truth about what happened. We broke up and went our separate ways. Neither of us fought for our relationship. I was angry and decided not to be upset about it and just keep it moving. Then after about few months of no contact with her I became sad. I wanted her to tell me she wanted to be with me and not her old friend. I contacted Dr.Muna for a love spell and he truly helped me! he was able to get her to miss me she wanted us to get back together again. She had lot of regrets and felt bad for not fighting to keep me and for cheating in generally. she cherish our relationship so much more now and we are together now! You can also get your lover back with the help of Dr.Muna contact him now through his web site http://marvelspelltemple.webs.com/
