I Quit My Engagement by Nobody: 10:33pm On Mar 26, 2017
Lemme share my background briefly
I got pregnant at 16, now i am 26.
The news of the pregnancy left me in depression so I avoided my boyfriend. Lied to him I had travelled anytime he wanted to see me. The bubble bursted when he found me at home. He was so furious. Tried explaining to him that the news of my pregnancy made me depressed that was why i avoided him. He left with this words "dont ever call me or text me until i ask u to do so"....that was the end.
I never saw him or heard from him until three and half years later when he commented on my facebook picture with his son, but I was so hurt that I couldn't reply it. He was a Muslim, and I am a Christian.
I never loved or like again. For ten years remained single. Didn't even feel any crush for anybody . suitors have been coming but I turn them down.

Three months ago I met this guy, he is a muslim. Our souls knitted.He asked me out and I said yes, just to have company and emotionally bond. I also enjoy his presence. I took it as casual dating.
He is such a darling, cared for me, pampered and pet me like a baby. He gives me allowances on weekly basis, so that i never have to spend a kobo out of my salary. He has never touched me. Sometimes we sleep on the same bed overnight and he has never laid his hands on me. Althrough our relationship, the worst we have done is pecking.
Out of the blue, he knelt in the presence of his friends and mine and proposed marriage with a ring .
Was shocked and scared. Said yes to spare him public shame with the intention of calling off the engagement after their departure.
My reasons are:
1. Never thought of marriage or settling down. The passion or interest aint there.
2. We have barely dated for three months-too short.
3, he is a muslim and i am a christian.
I do care about him and think about day and night but marriage has never crossed my mind .
The calling off the engagement was emotional, we both cried. ...he felt betrayed claiming I wasted three months of his life.
Marriage wasn't what I bargained for,just a mutual relationship with him
Nls, what do i do?

But why have you been eating his money every week?

He is not getting any younger, neither are you.

Better start planning of where to print your cards and the type of souvenirs you will buy for the wedding.


I only fear for your religious differences.... . Why start what you cannot finish?


Let the bashing begin!

WELL ARE YOU A TRUE CHRISTIAN? or religion difference doesn't MATTER to you?

Is it a real relationship or you just playing the guy and using him as an emotional SHOULDER?

Do your families accept such union?

Would you convert to a MUSLIM just for him?

My dear if you do not want to have endless in-law issues and KIDS who are atheist OR who have split personalities then ARRANGE YOUR LIFE AND DECIDE YOUR DESTINY, COS YOU CAN NOT COME HERE AND ASK OF FOR ADVICE FOR A CHOICE WE DIDN'T ADVICE YOU TO TAKE IN THE FIRST PLACE.

Whoever plays tunes for foools must learn the dance of shame.

ONE WOLD THINK YOU WOULD BE WISER AND AT LEAST ABSTAIN FROM COMPLICATED THINGS. Muslims are wonderful people tho but their VIEWS vary. Don't get into something that will damage the vision of your life.

My family don't approve if his religion and also his tribe(if he was a Christian he wouldn't be accepted because if his tribe).
I didn't play him, was sincere and true to him, but didn't have a purpose or future plan for us, didn't ever envisage marriage.
Re: I Quit My Engagement by Nobody: 10:52pm On Mar 26, 2017
Question: Are you a wìtch or a heartless robot?

You knew your religion wasn't on the same wavelength yet you accepted his dating proposal. Play games with his mind by being there. Pretended you loved & then dump him?!

What do you do? I'll tell you. You know what? — Bottle yourself and migrate dear. Far away from humanity.

Re: I Quit My Engagement by luminouz(m): 3:06am On Mar 27, 2017
What do u do? What a stupid queshun after calling off d engagement? Wetin dey worry gehs naaaa? U didn't know he was a Muslim when u spent his weekly allowance......when he slept on ur bed.....when he was thoughtful n kind n generous n good?
He now proposed n u thought d time too short.... N ur not convinced n his a Muslim? Are u for real? U even made him cry! Think u have some issues u need to sought out! U are so confused....ur family won't allow u to marry him coz of both his tribe n religion? Y not marry ur family then n seek their opinion when u need to buy a pair of shoes! So with being a baby mama someone even showed u love n u posted all these as reasons to reject?as per what? A slay queen? Lmao! This is y falling in love with a naija babe is like fighting mike Tyson!

Holy molly...will I ever marry with all the rubbish my eyes have seen in dis country? undecided

Wait first, you didn't tell us weather you aborted the baby or not??...anyway, the only good reason i see why you called off the engagement is the religion issue asides that you are just a supposed "over grown puppy" which prolly is wallowing in confussion.

Then follow your heart but carry your brain along and tread with caution...you must be a strong woman for staying single and catering for the boy all alone...me, i 'll advice you not to marry a muslim for obvious reasons...keep open your options for other christian male suitors if et-all you don't have one at the moment cos i'm sure men will always come esp as you are a career driven lady...but, repent from clubingundecided
