I respect ur opinion, but dats not d best option in dis case. Can u visualize ur wedding day without any family member from ur side, although they ar still alive, truly speaking U won't enjoy dat, so I believe d man should try and sort tinz out with d help of elderly ones in the family

Thanks that's rare to see on NL

I understand your point, but lol if they push me away first than yes I will enjoy it.


I wanted him to try and settle but threatening him that he shouldn't marry before he settles them and if he doesn't they won't come to the wedding was too dramatic for me.

What does settling them even entail op?

no dis one is about prestige and power, u attack npc and other players for resources(wood, iron, stone, food and silver) the highest city wall is lvl10. But 100k archers with a good hero e.g poseidon would destroy it in one volley. Only troops matter

How come you have been helping them for the past 10 years and none is established

You were taking care of their basic needs without focusing on a permanent fix.

Show a man how to fish, don't give him fish.

Teach two of them how to fish and the rest will stop calling you alone.
You have a point, but that's if he has the capacity to do that.
@OP,try your best to teach your immediate two how to catch fish and give yourself some respite

i have always have a very close relationship with my siblings while growing up, which i have tried much to see that everyone is comfortable. i don,t based in Nigeria, but my family has always been my first priority. but everything changed immediately i want to get married. that i have to settle everyone first before getting married. they automatically ganged against me, that if i don,t settle that no one will come for my marriage. this really pissed me off cos this is the same people i have been struggling for over 10 years now. am no longer a kid if i start to settle i will never get married. this is really disturbing me, they only call you on phone when they need something. it really hurt when people you love dearly treat you like this. how do i go about this cos i have decided what ever will happen let it happen, let me look for my own life. i owe no one a dime, every struggle is me and me alone,
You've already answered your own question and provided solution to your problem, so what other advice do you still need?

Your family is obviously made up of scroungers, moochers, parasites and vampires who will drain you of your blood and share it among themselves in spanish glass cups, consume your flesh in an horrifying act of cannibalism, and then finalize their obliteration of your destiny by feasting on your very soul itself.

"Settle them" before you can get married? This must be one of the most ridiculous batshit I've had the misfortune of reading this year. You're surrounded by evil kin.

You did not say the whole story here.

Did they sacrifice going to school for you alone to he educated? Some families do it with an agreement that you will in turn train someone.

If you are abroad, did they sell a family land to send you there?

Ask yourself these and other honest questions so you don't bring an innocent lady into a prearranged storm.

By the way hope you are spiritually strong? I mean really prayerful?

Small-minded people are fond of throwing around words they hear, know but don't understand. This "teach one or two of your brothers how to fish by either taking them abroad or establishing them financially back home" crew failed to understand that he possibly doesn't have what it may necessarily take to get someone to a reasonable abroad legally. Or maybe that he gave some of them money to establish themselves back home but they failed in their pursuits - in some cases some of them may have decided to be leech-like and predaceous even when they are literally doing better than him. According to the guy, he has given them the best of him in the last 10 years.

If you send someone to school up to higher education level literally you've taught such a person how to fish. Also when you extend a financial support to someone to support her business or started a new one for her you've literally taught the person how to fish. But small-minded people never understand all these. To them one must carry them like handbags - even in their conceited and disingenuous attitudes - before they will understand that you've taught them how to fish. In their conceitedness they forgot that you obviously didn't just wake up one day and know all you have known or attain your height, thus, ought to create their own life paths and encrypt them. Envious people everywhere.

A conceited person never makes a good follower because to him he knows everything, so once you have one around you, even as a boss, you can never command his genuine loyalty unless you're ready to allow him to lead you to doom in his ignorant state - they know everything but understand nothing. As for a disingenuous person, you already have an outright frienemy who's ready to betray you at will and still expects you to keep him around and trust him.

@OP, all you need to do henceforth should be to adopt a principle of conscientiousness. Avoid using servility in sustaining your relationship with them. Just be of goodness to them. You've a family of small-minded people. They're always opportunistic, insatiable, ungrateful, narcissistic, selfish, self-centered, greedy and covetous. Yet they're quick to play victim.

This is another fact, but he has given 10 years of his life, so what else do they want, they want him to be a slave to them all his life or sell his life to their service
Hell No, they are also matured

These your siblings think you owe them. One thing I've come to realize in this life is that, for the fact you were born alone into the world through a family: your destiny isn't in anyone's hands. It's between you and your God. The moment you fail, you have yourself to blame and not your mother/father/siblings/friends. These people are so backward that they feel they're entitled to what you have. If I were you, I'd ignore them and if this condition they gave you came as a product of their thought process then you shouldn't have any business with them. They're the kind you'll help and tomorrow when the chips are down, they won't remember you got them where they are.
My dear, I can't be you. His school fees was paid Na, he sucked someone's breast @ child birth. He should have helped one or 2 of his brothers up @ least small fund to start a business, then leave them for good
