Young woman, complaining about his siblings and co is one major mistake you want to put yourself into. This is a family that do things together, lives together and plan together. So don't even try to put asunder cos you won't succeed. If you aren't comfortable with such united family, please go your way now. He may be delaying the union cos of your mood towards his family. The earlier you disengage yourself, the better for you

Your period shouldn't be a reason for marriage to come up immediately, you should take responsibility for it.

Back to the case, I can observe your fiancé seems a responsible man. He feels obliged to cater for his family, that's cool.

You should know of our type of society, the socioeconomic issues and others.

Nevertheless, since you watching time on your own side, I suggest your talk to your fiancé, analyse the financial needs (if that is the problem) also emotional impediments, have a clear picture of things from your conversation with him (noting timeline of thing's from the discussion).

Then decide.

Give him money to rent another apartment if you can't cope with him and his family in the same building.

Or better still, give him money for wedding expenses if you can't wait or exercise some patients till he's ready for wedding!

You are 24!
-Do you work?
-Are you a student?
-Are you learning any skill?
-Do you have any meaningful thing to boast of?

Who and what are you exactly to the society and what exactly are you impacting in his life to warrant such thoughts of pressurizing him into sending his families out and marrying you as soon as possible!!

Smh! Keep fvckin him with reckless abandon, until you get pregnant, then will you understand the gravity of your fvckery!!

No use your head now wey you young!

HelloHolla:


He moved out once, but they came visiting and saw there were vacant rooms, before we knew what was happening, they'd moved IN with him fully cause the former house rent expired, now, he thinks I'm trying to separate him from his family.
Sister take drugs and flush anything there before it germinates, then call off that stupid relationship once and for all except you want to enter an already stressed family. A house whereby men that are still squatting already have live in partners on the expenses of others, is not a good family to marry into. Let nobody guilt trap you, you deserve better, he won't change, he will only grow worse.

HelloHolla:


Thank you for the contribution, I accepted his ring because I thought he was going to "change" and perhaps, start living on his own, obviously, he doesn't look like he's moving anywhere, he has chased off other eligible suitors off me.
mix alabukun in sprite and drink, so as to stop his seed from taking root. Don't, if you wanna continue such life. But better don't come here complaining when shit hit d fan. You still got time to make things right.

I feel he's using the ring to tie you down, my dear.
no serious guy should delay for that long before finalizing it.

you have the right to be desperate because he has delayed sealing the deal. you have the total right to be worried cos you need to know your fate with him.


if you feel you can't hold on any longer, pls, go and settle with him and move on with your life if you already have suitors to choose from.

as someone already said, if pregnancy never enter am. you are good to go.



alternatively, discuss with him about it.

HelloHolla:
Good evening everyone, I've been a guest for quite a while, created an account cause I need advice from the audience.

How long should an engagement ring be worn for? I've been engaged since last year May (dated for 4yrs), my Fiance hasn't talked about proceeding to do introduction or marriage, it's like he just proposed to me because he felt like.

This man has refused to be on his own, his Grandma and 5 siblings (younger and older) live with him and he takes responsibility for them all, two of his siblings living with him also have their partners living with them. It's only a 3 bedroom flat. I feel like quitting the whole thing cause I don't feel comfortable going to his house. When I do, he wants me to cook for everyone which gets me strained.

With the look of things, he has no plans of moving out for them cause he rented the apartment, neither do they have intentions of moving out on their own, it's more like a family house. My period is two days late and I'm scared to the marrow.

Please advice me on what to do cause I can't live with him if they're still there after marriage, he's not even talking about marriage, I've not asked him yet so as not to sound desperate but why propose if you don't have plans of doing the next thing after a max of 6 months?

He's 31 and I'm 24

Thanks.

U need to face reality....the guy is trying, I seriously salute him....they are his family, you can’t flip him like a switch and stop him from taking care of them, even if he doesn’t want to by now he’s already addicted to caring for them..

If ur guy isnt rich enuf to rent another place for himself...and still pay the rent of the folks....
u need to walk away now...cos the best u will get from him is marrying in that house where the whole crew will be hearing u moan at 11:30pm..

I understand your plight, is not that he's not financially fit for the marriage but family had takeover his own life. he's a selfless man like me, this selflessness almost rendered me useless


these people he's helping will one day start their own family then what will be of him if he lose you. as people have suggested, talk to him in a way he won't feel like you hate his people



he can still help them and continue with the plan with you. 1yr engagement ring is another burden of thinking. talking it out with him in a modest way can reshape things

1. From your statement, you failed to impressed the family you intend marrying into because they live together. This can be the only reason why he refused to go further.

2. If after what you have observed you still went ahead having unprotected sex with him, you must bear the consequences.

Sit down and discuss in realities and frankly, if he is still interested let him tell you.

The guy in question is not ready for marriage in the next five years

These are my reasons

He rented am apartment that harbours every members of his family, he can't force them out and he can't afford to go get a private one for his personal accommodation

His siblings are benefiting from his charity and they are staying with him to get the balance they need to stand

You will have to live in that same house with him if he should marry you and it means you will have to be unhappy with it where as he sees nothing wrong with it

He engaged you because he knows that you guys have been dating for four years now and you are looking forward to his engagement, but bear in mind that he can't move a step beyond that because he doesn't have the ability to start a family when his siblings are yet to get there ground

He doesn't even have the money for the marriage and he wants you to keep marking time the way he is marking time and as you do that with him, you are on your own

As you keep living with them, your money, energy, sacrifice are going into the family yet no reward for it

My advice, prepare your mind to quit the relationship as that's the only way to move on with your future

Meet him, remove the ring and give it to him, tell him you have tried so far waiting for him to seal the relationship but from the look of things, he is not prepared and you have to move on

If he pleads with you to bear with him, tell him you will bear with him but the ring have to be removed from your finger so that your hand will be free

If he says he is ready, tell him to give you time, but make sure you give him the ring back to his palm and don't receive it back

Before you do this, be prepared emotionally so that you don't have a heart break

No, don't judge her that way. Why should two of her boyfriend siblings be dependent on him and still have live in lovers, it makes no sense to me. I can't accommodate you then you bring your girl friend along. Besides she said he had given them money to start up their lives but instead squanders it on video games probably betting. The only siblings I can take care of are those in University I pay there fees and rent, apart from that, you are strictly on your own. You can never grow big if responsibility outweigh income.
