You've made a mistake maamaa but not to say you don't deserve to to happy. Love makes us do stupid things. Dont allow him marry you out of pity. You'll regret it everyday. So suck it up and call it off. Take care of ur baby when he/she comes. Eventually, you'll be happy. The Lord is ur strength. |

I don't get it, you forced him into impregnating you despite the fact that you knew he had a fiance, Now he's not even cheated on you with another lady and you're already lamenting.. what do you think will happen if you get treated with your own source of medication. Some ladies are just funny and plain ridiculous, Yes it's a new and developed world but why should you throw yourself to a man who already told you he's in a serious relationship. I can bet it that you trapped him down with the pregnancy and HEY forget that the wife just has an OND, even if she's a stark illiterate, must you be the reason why their relationship doesn't work. Wait, you're asking for nairalander's sympathy, isn't it? WELL, i pray that anyone who sympathizes with you will surely find themselves in your predicament.... When will the mentality of hooking him up or down with pregnancy just stop? and the most painful part of it is that you put the kids into trouble and in most cases, they miss the joint parenthood just by one or both of their parent sheer wickedness and selfishness... |

Maaamaaa:You are not the first person going through this. A lady in my office had this same issue. She held on to her job, had her child and she's very ok. People gossiped, made jest of her. She bore it all. It's 5years now, no one remembers. It's business as usual. |

Mimzyy:You must be very good at analysing cogent points. You should come share a cup of coffee with me... Regarding this OP's issue, she was brave to tell him she loves him, but greedy to cunningly try to snatch him. The guy only enjoyed uninterrupted free punany(only few guys will reject it anyway). I dont know anything about marriage, cos I've never been married, but i think the guy neither loves you as a lover nor wife. Never mix business with pleasure. I'm sure you had suitors, but your greed led you to this. You can be a PHD holder, if a guy is in love with an SSCE holder. he may find it difficult to leave her. You felt you can use your qualification to lure him? no, it does not work that way for guys. We all know what we want. He will be unhappy if you guys eventually marry, you know what that mean. Anything can happen, when you give birth, it gives joy to men... You tell a lady you are single she will say its a lie, you tell her you are dating, they'll find it interesting and want to find out or possibly have you for herself. women love challenges. Some of them are just confused. |

Maamaa,the deal is done already,i can't judge you, so let me give you my 2cents of suggestions, can't call it an advice,pls flee now as fast as you could because if you enter into that trap yes i called it trap because you are seeing the signs now and ain't good at all,it will be very HOT for you,you will always wish you didn't. Had i know is very bad to say or imagine. With God,you will regain ur happiness. |

You have made the mistake and you have decided to move on which will be more beneficial for you and your child. What you say about your self is more. Lift your head high. Walk tall. There will be gossips, jeering, gesting e.t.c but do not pay attention. The manual of life (Bible) will really be of help. Receive Jesus into your life, ask for His mercy and move on. He will bring across your way a man that loves you to spend the rest of your life with. He will also help you make the right decisions. It is well with you. Cheer up.

| Re: A Frustrated Woman by Montaque(m): 10:14am On Oct 26, 2016 |
@ Maaamaaa I want you to know (and understand) the make-up of a typical man. He wants to be the one to make the whole decision. He doesn't want to be boxed into a situation and he doesn't like when he has the smaller end of the stick with a woman. I discover your man is a good and gentle person. Most of the things you said about him suggests that. Tell you the truth, I will put on this exact behaviour if my gf gets pregnant for me, in a similar situation! But that doesn't mean I don't love her, its just that I was not the one that's making all the decision(I'll feel the pregnancy is boxing me in) and I will feel that I would ve a better option if I had looked elsewhere. But love is there, just over-shadowed by situation. So, live through this hurdle, and see the blessing. If you try to play the trick that was suggested in this thread on him, and he is the impulsive type or in a bad mood at the moment, he may deny u without blinking an eye, (I can do same) and will regret later when in a better reasoning. I will tell you also to stop controlling things, allow him to. Everything he should be the one to do as a man, let him do it, and don't query him or pry. Let him be the man. He is in a lot of mental stress now. I see he is the laid-back type, which u see as laziness, suddenly he doesn't like gisting, he is the mental type, not on-the-go... And you are a go getter. Allow him. Don't nag or create more stress. Both of you are just displaying the lack of grasp of personality knowledge in marriage, with a sudden change of status, not contemplated for. Then to the "marry out of pity" mentality; let me tell you that almost all marriage has a reason. Pity, compassion, respect, interest, body shape, colour, education, voice, pregnancy, religion, family, parents, sibling, make-up, opportunity, luck, favour, likeness, even hatred can make you discover love, where you think it doesn't exist. There is always a reason for every marriage, just pray for understanding in ur partner. Even at the wedding altar, you will start entertaining some doubt if you have made the best choice, serious fear if it will work, and if you won't regret it later, much more when you are making the consideration because of pregnancy. My point is that in reality, there is always a reason for marriage, forget fairy tales. I am telling you how I would have behaved in similar situation; and I can tell you its normal and typical of most men. Lastly, don't contemplate abortion, many women are on church altars crying for such blessing, please don't despise urs because of situations around. The situation has gotten so bad now so much so that many guys are impregnating their fiance first before traditional marriage just to be sure their is no incompatibility as regards child bearing |

| Re: A Frustrated Woman by Nobody: 10:20am On Oct 26, 2016 |
Patience is all there is....I can wait until he has the courage to tell me or I can just move on with another guy that's bold enough to tell me ![]() Tuham: |
| Re: A Frustrated Woman by Nobody: 10:31am On Oct 26, 2016 |
I feel so sad reading your story ,op. The two huge mistake u. Made with this guy is allowing him live with you, because he was broke at that time.. Any man that wants me to live with him or wants to. Live with me but be ready to pay my bride price and do the needful.. Anything short of that, am. Not interested... Then secondly, not taking precautions about pregnancy... ![]() It's a pity op, but you are on your own.. My advice is as you've renewed the rent, keep living with him but make him understand in clear terms, u don't want to get marri3d to him cos of pity or cos of shame.. Make hi understand he has rights to the baby and both of you will be living as Co flat mates.. Until u are buoyant enough to move out and rent your apartment.. So he can be free to marry whosoever he wishes.. When you are talking to him, pls don't look down cast and don't cry.. Hold your head up high and let him understand, you have changed too and you want the best for yourself and your baby.. Any other thing is secondary, as he has proven clearly he doesn't love you.. Don't ever beg a man to be with you, even if he's your baby daddy... Cos you will keep on begging for the rest of your life. It's so sad.. The guy does not know what he's throwing away.. What a pity... What a huge pity.. Op, the Lord is your strength.. Pls focus on making yourself happy... U need it..place his wahala behind you.. God will see you through.. And always visit your parents.. U need them more than ever now... Take care. |

Madam, note this, NEVER marry out of sympathy.If he happens to marry you out of sympathy, you will forever remain unhappy for the rest of your life. Having a child does not mean that your life is destroyed. Genevieve Nnaji and their likes, are single mothers and they have made it in life. Note that the said guy can never EVER love you. If he is the wicked type, he can kill you slowly and later marry his heart. No one is above mistake. Pray and ask God for forgiveness and a way forward, and He will come your way. If he is guilty, he will regret his action later and you too, if you are guilty of forcing yourself to him, despite knowing that there was another woman before you, you equally should feel that same guilt over the other woman before you. This marriage can NEVER work out. As per your place of work, never mind what people will say because as human beings, people cannot stop talking.Put the whole issue behind you, face your job and think about the future of the baby. Your husband, despite you having a child, must come your way.Just make yourself happy. |

drnoel:Wait, U said 'back home' then I guess U r not in Nigeria. What I said wasn't just an opinion but from stark experience. My own personal experience, not just once but 2x! Currently my colleague and best friend is also going through the same thing. Pursue men here in Nigeria and they will take U for granted. If the feeling is mutual then it is good but if it is one sided then U in trouble. U cannot force someone to love U, a thing I have learnt to my cost. U can never put ur husband before God in ur life unless of course U r a mere church goer. God first no matter what. And by the way way., I am no longer single. I was before. As for cohabitation, I maintain it is completely and utterly wrong unless the couple r not genuine and bible believing Christians then they can do whatever they want adult or not. Ur friend was lucky her man loved her genuinely for herself and the feeling is mutual. Do not assume it must be the same for every couple. To each his own. Never forget that. A lady who feels attracted to a guy should pursue him all she wants and gives herself to him but she should be ready for the consequences when he does not feel the same way towards her. A promiscuous husband would be promiscuous whether U put him first or last. A Christian wife married to a Christian husband knows the balance. Putting God first doesn't mean neglecting ur home. U say U r married but I don't see ur experience unless of course U r a free thinker in which case U will never understand my points. When God is first in ur home, He makes ur home straight. U will both understand each other and give selflessly. It will never be one sided. |

soonest:My sis, i hope u r reading this. Experience they say is d best teacher. I will advice u keep u head up high n forget about the wedding. Call it off. U will not be d first to do that. In a marriage, u need love, respect n happiness. Its obvious these 3 dont exist. Face it, U guyz cant 'work'. Keep d baby n care n love that child. Truth is he loves another not u. Let him go. U deserve better. He doesnt love u now he may never love u at all. He feels d child is what is holding him down in d 'relationship'. Do not underestimate a man. He may 'kidnap' ur child n elope with dt other lady in future. Sit ur parents down n tell them d wedding cant go on. Its beta that way. Stop cohabiting with him from this moment. If u can get a mini flat for urself, pls do but if u can booth him out, pls do. Ifbu can relocate sef, its beta. U r more important to urself n uur baby. No kill urself because of man o. But if u proceed with d wedding, hmmmmm smh |

Maaamaaa:I don't understand ma.. You can't call of the wedding because he will use it against ur parents and his!! AND SO I don't think you understand that marriage is FOR LIFE. anybody Advising u to put the wedding on hold till the baby comes blah blah blah.. Like he is going to change his mind. Love u and the baby. What if the baby comes and he decided not to contribute anything... He didn't even discuss with u abt the antenatal.. My sister, your parents won't live in ur house with u when u marry.. INFACT, CALL UR PARENTS AND HIS PARENTS TOO AND TELL THE YOU CANT CONTINUE WITH THE WEDDING.. NO BODY WILL DIE. YOUR HAPPINESS SHOULD BE YOUR PRIORITY. MARRY THIS GUY AT YOUR OWN RISK.. people will talk but they Will find something to talk abt later.. Just look at the way he is already treating you. BE WISE!!! |
| Re: A Frustrated Woman by Nobody: 11:29am On Oct 26, 2016 |
justmenoni:I'm just really really confused. I mean how does a woman force a man to impregnate her ![]() It's funny how men conveniently exonerate themselves when women get pregnant, as if he was forced to have sex without taking precautions. He knew he wasn't ready for marriage, yet he kept taking advantage of this lady. I think he deserves every single pain he is apssing through right now. Serves him right . . . I pray OP gives birth to Triplets, 2 boys and a girl . . . . . ![]() |
| Re: A Frustrated Woman by queencalipso(f): 11:30am On Oct 26, 2016 |
Maaamaaa:No honey.. Call off the wedding your self and stand by your decision until d baby is born. Only you can decide how you want to be treated.. |
| Re: A Frustrated Woman by drnoel: 11:31am On Oct 26, 2016 |
ladyverere:Am not a free thinker but a liberal believing Christian. I intend to raise my children also in that way but I am not dogged in my Godly belief neither am I into misreading the scriptures and applying it wrongly in my life. One has to find the balance in ones life according to ones belief. U don't see me talking those things cos am a very private person thats why but felt I had to correct a statement. Yes it is obvious ur experience has made u have a sad notion about men but as u say u are a Christian look into urself and u will see u are judging men to harshly. The fact that Jimmy is bad doesn't mean Timmy is bad too. |
| Re: A Frustrated Woman by andyanders: 11:44am On Oct 26, 2016 |
queencalipso:You have told her the bitter truth. That marriage cannot work out if she forces herself to it. She cannot marry out of sympathy.Either she take your advise or to go ahead with her wish. I do not wish her bad but come tomorrow, she will be here again crying over an abusive marriage.Hence there is no love, anger could set in and the guy would end up using her the way he wants. |
| Re: A Frustrated Woman by Nobody: 11:46am On Oct 26, 2016 |
ItsQuinn:You know, That your last sentence struck me! Seems you ladies have an association where you discuss and agree on the same opinion? Cos thats exactly what happened between i and a friend:/ Learnt my lesson though ![]() |
| Re: A Frustrated Woman by ladyverere(f): 11:48am On Oct 26, 2016 |
drnoel:OK. There is nothing like a 'liberal believing Christian'. I try to be fair because I have a lot of brothers and they struggle to be good men and great husbands. I have handled and still handling cases involving couples who cohabited and had kids. Not even 1 or 2 but up to 4, 5 and 6 kids! The men got tired of the women and left. Within a year they are property married to some other woman! And guess what? These are men whose women did everything, and I mean everything for them. Women should be very careful. Love should be mutual and as it is never enough to sustain any long-term relationship women should ensure the men cares for them deeply, respects them and they are highly responsible. Do not waste ur feelings and resources on someone who is only there for some freebies. |
