You still have time and age on ur side, talk a walk right now, I mean right now... Bearing responsibility of his entire family is another red flag... If u eventually get married to him and he stops like half of what he was doing for his family, u are in a warzone already

The age at which you are showing this level of desperation is disgusting. 24yrs, probably you don't have anything to offer rather than opening only your legs. Mtcheeeew....a bunch of a liability!

I concur.
But my own no serious o, he lost a year cos of change of course.
The thing pain me gan.
This the deal, if you are doing a four year program, the heighest I can pay is 5 school fees, that's is plus extra year if need be. Anything besides this, you pay the rest once you exceed your graduation year and possibly extra semester. No be only you dey my hand. Tell him he doesn't graduate with his mates this time, you stop paying fees when the actually graduation time comes.

And knowing all these things you mentioned that you never liked,and you went ahead to open your legs without protection and scared now 'cus you have not seen your period. Since his sibblings are with him and you never liked their presence 'cus you wanted him to yourself alone as you complained that you never liked when asked to cook meal for the family. To me, you are the one that has got a problem and will end up splitting the family. Allow them be and take a walk.

You should have asked him.. asking him doesn't make you look desperate.
On the other hand, he might be having that plan of marrying you into that same house which is not advisable. So ask him and know his plans.. also ask if he would be renting another apartment for d both of you.. if he says no... Wahala done shele oo. This one that your redflag is 2 days late. All d best dear.

Did you start a company at 24? And I don't mean a hair vendor kinda company.

Married people don't read and travel and build careers? A 24-year old damn well knows what's good for her. She didn't ask you for advice as to whether or not she should get married.

It's nauseating when y'all act like you know better what's best for a person. What do you know about her life to think that your advice is necessary? undecided

I sincerely think she should jusT discuss with the dude. know what his plans for both of them. If he's not responding appropriately she can walk away. The situation with his family might be the cause of tge delay. He probably can't afford paying fir another apartment simultaneously. The siblungs can help if they get themselves busy and get another apartment.

Babe u gave him the power to chase off other suitors.

But why even consider a man whose family and granny lives with him?

That day he called u to. Come cook for everyone should have been an eye opener for u.

All he needs is a maid not a wife.

I said last night, that guys in their 30s are not ready to settle down, especially if he's financially OK.

The ones clamouring for let's leave together as husband and wife without getting married are guys in their 30s that are still struggling to feed, how. Much more marry. They look out for a working class babe, be it younger, older or same age. Sweet talk her into moving in with him or he moves in with her, so he can have frees sex whenever he wants and free home mademeals, with free children whom his babe will definitely be taking care of, while he feeds off her in the name of :

I GO MARRY YOU.


I have seen several naive desperate women fall into this trap!


the earlier u throw away that bondage called engagement ring and date someone with less baggage the better for you.

Think!
yeah you are right....when a lady love they tend to do anything to keep relationship!

UyaiIncomparabl:


I hope you'll learn to see that he's really not into you like that. A man who hasn't made plans to leave and cleave definitely has no business getting married. That he is 31 doesn't mean he's ready. You cook and tend to his family whenever you are around them, right? You'll do worse when you get married. You'll become head chef and senior nanny to his siblings and aging Grandmother.

Have a serious discussion with him, tell him to give you a time, set your own time too since you're the one whom the shoes hurts. If he still shows signs of unseriousness and unwillingness, then I see no reason why you shouldn't start extending your search outside. This is your future. Don't ruin it. The partner you marry is liable to make or mar you.

In the end, it's all your brunt to bear. Choose wisely now to avoid coming to the front page of Nairaland tomorrow seeking for marital advice.

Ladies, even if you date a douchebag, please endeavor not to marry that douchebag. Please, see it as an importance to marry a man that has sense. You're Queens and Queens do not eat debris nor settle for less. kiss

Thread wisely and carefully. smiley



@Bolded:
That is if they are indeed Queens. The irony is that most of you ladies are at best 'tarts' but desire to be treated as Queens, which they can neither factor how to become nor can pay the price thereof. Which man sees a real queen and dares to place her on suspense for 5 whole years without receiving an invite to her wedding to another man along the line? The complex answers ladies seek are, almost all the time, within them.

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.

You are in an unsure situation, and you are having unprotected sex. So what's your next plan? Ask of if it's wrong to procure an abortion.

It is already a red flag your man is bound. It would be a clear signal that it would be an oppressive union if you venture into it ignoring this.

The last is to discuss what he ought to know himself with him. Its needless but just do it as it is. If he affirms that his idea of his home to be is to have all these men within, then you are safer outside of it. Dont count the years, you have a double, triple and more to endure if you go on with him.

Please, pay no attention to those people saying you're desperate. You never can tell...they may be people in your fiance's situation, so they are indirectly justifying themselves.

I don't know why you went into that relationship with a man like that, in the first place. But that's absolutely pointless right now.

For 35/40 year olds to still be dependent on someone else, forget it. They are both entitled and lazy. Don't even rationalise staying in that relationship. You'll end up being miserable. Take a walk, baby girl... and don't look back.
