SammyAx:
I met him in 2010, and I had to leave for graduate school in 2012. We continued dating and he visited me in the U.S as often as he could. After one of such visits, i discovered he had used my laptop to watch pornography. We had a fight, broke up, then made up again.

I am currently studying for my Doctorate and my greencard application (thru sister) is pending, therefore, i cannot travel out of the country now. So last year we decided to do our wedding in the U.S, and he and his family went to my family in Nigeria to pay my bride price.

My dad gave them a small price because he said we don't need their money and he is not selling me. But the problem was that the boxes of items they were to bring for me ended up being all cheap stuff, not even one single set of gold jewelry. My mum was unhappy and embarrassed, and i was terribly unhappy too. His excuse was that they didn't think the stuff would actually get to me since i am far away. My mum actually sent some of the stuff to me to see for myself. So we got into a huge fight and didn't speak for weeks. I later reached out to try and sort out our differences but he now says that he doesn't want to get married anymore.

I am distraught and embarrassed to even tell my family now because i had to fight for him and stand on my decision despite their hesitations. Is this relationship worth fighting for at all anymore? Do I deserve this after all this time?

I think he made a good decision in calling off the engagement ..Me sha can never marry a woman that will stop talking to me just because I bought cheaper things than she expected ..You tgink you are good woman but the truth is that you are not and that dude has discerned

You are the best person to tell us if the relationship is worth fighting for or not. From your write up, it obvious the guy is not into you like that, it seems you are the one forcing the whole thing on him.. .. Abeg let him be. Move on with your life.
Someone better will come wink
exactly my thought. If you fight to make him committed you Will keep fighting and begging for him to be committed or stay committed. You don't want anybody to make you feel like he's doing you a favor for marrying you

Every piece of advice am about to give is curled out of your write-up. First, I think you think too highly of yourself and less about him. Secondly, picking a fight over him watching porn describe you as Naive and close-minded cus like you've said, you're in the US and he's in Nigeria, how else did you think he survived? Thirdly, you do not appreciate the fact that while you're busy pursuing you personal educational agendas, he was very understanding for waiting for you, that was a big sacrifice.
Lastly, you live in the US and called Nigeria's Item inferior? That's absolute ignorance. I think your parents and family are top used to very expensive and imported items that they forgot that stuffs in Nigeria ain't exactly the same quality as that of the US, and I am sure your people just wanna make an issue for this. I think they got another hidden suitor someone and I think they suddenly think your man of 7 years is not worthy of their heavy investment who is now a PhD in-making.

Think.

You said they dont wanna sell you so why should box of gold matter?

If they don't wanna collect so much money from his family, so how much does a box of gold cost?

As far as am concerned, he has the right to break up with your ass cuz you've been so carried away with the word "YOU" that you forget you're trying to build a relationship, and not a factory.

Don't blame him, but make amend. And make it humbly. Your doctorate degree, your Green card and your family and stuffs wouldn't help you get a man. He was your man b4 you got to this level, be wise.

@OP,
Try to work on it. Give it another shot. Na this kind marriage dey sweet eventually. Nothing good comes easy. Unless of course you really don't love him and you just want to add Mrs. to your appellation. If he's really your friend, you won't let him go just like that. Abi, is there something you ain't telling us?

You are not God. Stop saying trash! Just because he left doesnt mean someone better is not out there for her. There is always someone out there for everyone. Whites believe this that is why their life is so much better than blacks.
By the way,OP learn from Adesua. There must be other guys who are just friends with you but because of your relationship you were not interested in them. It is time to give those guys a chance. Afterall,you are now single again.
As for the silly hypocrites who would quote me,you better not. Everyone has someone they friendzone. Its not a gender thing.

You are the architect of your own destruction.

By many of human standards that I know of, your ex was outstanding. Namely:

He cared.

He was available ( despite the distance barrier).

He endured the problem or challenge of time ( 7 Years)

He is gentle and patient ( you fought him for watching porn on your laptop/phone) yet he settled without much ado ( in your words, it was a big fight) which means you went to the extra mile.

He was responsible ( he paid everything as expected, using Nigerian standard)

Unfortunately, you do not deserve this man, because:

1. You are not patient and gentle

2. You are proud

3. You are materialistic

4. You didn't care for him, he was visiting but you didn't mention any time that you visited him

5. You are nagging fiancée and would have become a nagging wife.

6. Your parent ( sorry for this) are your enemies because they want to push you to a point where you wont see a normal guy to marry but a thief, drug baron, money ritualist, political criminal or scammer.

You have just lost the best man for your life.

Ladies think that after a period of time, it is automatically a crime for their man not to marry them.

That's why I keep hearing, after 10 years, after 4 years, after 7 years, after 3 years 6 months..

Bae, a man wants something good for himself, up your game and do things to make a marriage work or make the relationship more interesting.

The number of years you dated makes no difference, if you just sit down and cross your legs waiting for marriage.

Op the kind of man you deserve is a rich woman beater.
You started a fight with him because he watched porn!
Omg!!!! Who does that?
As for the gold stuff,I'm sure the guy was just testing you,a guy that can spend over a million to go see you in the US can afford very decent stuff. But NO! Your ego didn't make you see past the 'Nigerian' stuff. Lol.
That guy deserves a better woman,leave him alone.

Gosh!Ladies,watch porn more than guys..I have seen many Indecency movies,I'm a lady but that doesn't make me a corrupt 'kid' You had a man that travelled all the way to see you in the US,you no even happy..Some of Us got dumped cos our men wouldn't travelled down the closest state to visit us.

Tell your parent who got upset because of Gold to get you a new husband.

If someone can travel down to US just to see you, then he is real.

So because of gold now una clap down on him. They even send you some items to confirm what they brought was cheap. I thought you said your parent don't wanna sell you....?

God bless that guy for me.
