yemmit90:
Sincerely, you are not suppose to sleep off like that when someone dear to you is still under an intensive stress/pressure of getting home like the one you described in your post.

Don't let immature Nairaland guys deceive you, what you did is not cool, but since you had already apologise, I think you should let her be for a while and find a moment to assure her how dear she is to you.

Don't do that again to anyone close to you, especially when they are coming to you place.

My bible has you in mind when it says in Isaiah 5:21 - Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes and clever in their own sight.

More so, my bible tells me in 2 Corinthians 10:12 - For we do not dare to classify or compare ourselves with some who commend themselves. But in measuring themselves by themselves and comparing themselves with themselves, they lack understanding.

Saig:
Go and marry one with a younger face and body but rugged and haggard heart. Body go tell you.
You have a good woman. Better open your two arms and embrace her

My bible tells me in Proverbs 12:5 - The plans of the righteous are just, but the counsel of the wicked is deceitful.

My point is, stop being wicked. I wonder what makes you think that the OP can't find another woman who's younger face and body and good heart, if he decides to leave this one.

malaria:
If you like don't go and talk with your woman. Allow bitter people here to ruin your relationship. Have a conversation with her about what she is complaining about. She feels you don not care about her welfare and safety enough . It's just like your wife sleeping at home comfortably when you have not returned from.work.... do not use your job as an excuse , were you not working when you had time to go and woo her..and she complained is not once you did that . That money means nothing to a woman fending for herself. What is 15k compared to your woman's welfare and safety.

It just seems like my bible had you in mind when it says in Proverbs 18:6 - a fool's words lead to conflict and provoke harsh consequences.

@OP

You've done enough already. When she's tired of being unreasonable, she'll come back to you. I hope she'll do that in a reasonable time before she's replaced.

My bible says in Proverbs 31:3 - Do not spend your strength on women, your vigor on those who ruin kings.

PlasmaTV:
Lol 😂
She's pained, rightly so. Women😂

First off, take your relationship off social media.

Apologize. Reasonable women would appreciate your care more than your money. Show her that you appreciate her.

She's a Christian and I believe you are too. Don't mind folks who will tell you to "be a man and show her who's boss". Love her like Christ loves the church. And she should honor you too.

Just apologize, my man. And reassure her. And don't do it again.

My bible tells me in Proverbs 12:15 - The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man listens to advice.

My point is, stop disgracing yourself.

Obijackson, my man, my bible in Deuteronomy 31:8 says to you - Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the LORD will personally go ahead of you. He will be with you; he will neither fail you nor abandon you.

Kobojunkie:
Nonsense and eegridient!

You religious folks are worse when it comes to raising kids. Apart from the regular religious brainwashing, your kids grow up to be among the worst of citizens in any country out there — incapable of thinking or reasoning for themselves.

My bible has already said it in 2 Chronicles 36:16 - But they made fun of God's messengers, ignoring his words and laughing at his prophets, until at last the LORD's anger against his people was so great that there was no escape.

I'll leave you with that for now.

My bible says it in Proverbs 5:3-4 - For the lips of the adulterous woman drip honey, and her speech is smoother than oil; but in the end she is bitter as gall, sharp as a double-edged.

OP, you've to be vigilant.

Kobojunkie:
Nonsense and eegridient! 🥱🥱🥱🥱

My bible didn't mince words when it says in Ephesians 5:6 - Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience.

enemyofprogress:
that was then. Not any more.

Well, I'll leave you with what my bible tells me in 2 Timothy 2:14-15 - Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.

My bible tells me something related to this indirectly in Daniel 12:4 -
But you, Daniel, roll up and seal the words of the scroll until the time of the end. Many will go here and there to increase knowledge.

Well, my bible tells me in Matthew 15:4 - For God said, 'Honor your father and mother' and 'Anyone who curses his father or mother is to be put to death.

I'll always listen to my bible advice in Matthew 23:3 - Practice and observe everything they tell you, but do not do as they do; for they preach things, but do not practice them.

Forget that thing. If you aren't gifted to be a genius or innovator, you can't become one, even if you're more comfortable than comfortable itself.

My bible tells me in 1 Peter 4:10 - As each has been given a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace.

She's just a clout chaser/attention seeker like some of the ones on food, diary, and family sections of this forum that chase clout with anything. They know themselves.

It's in her best interest to take the advice as my bible tells me in Proverbs 27:2 - Let another praise you, and not your own mouth; a stranger, and not your own lips.

People close to this lady should remind her that my bible says in Proverbs 12:22 Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord, but those who deal faithfully are His delight.

I'm with Ned on this. Even my bible indirectly encourages me to marry as many wives as I can, provided that I don't marry two living sisters at a time. Leviticus 18:18 - Do not take your wife's sister as a rival wife and have sexual relations with her while your wife is living.

The figure of $9.6 billion for the Saudi King's salary (royal allowance as they prefer to refer to it in Saudi Arabia) is not an official or accurate figure; the Saudi royal family's wealth is estimated at $1.4 trillion, with the current King, Salman, having a personal net worth of approximately $18 billion.

Citing his personal net worth, there's no how he could've been receiving $9.6 billion as annual royal allowance.

That said, my bible tells me in Ecclesiastes 5:10: He who loves money will not be satisfied with money, nor he who loves wealth with his income; this also is vanity.

It's not a big deal. After all, my bible tells me in Mark 3:28: "I promise you that any of the sinful things you say or do can be forgiven, no matter how terrible those things are."

That said, don't go about sleeping with another man's wife. Such sin is solely reserved for an anointed sinner like me.

APCNig:
Person wey you don use her eyes comot all her clothes and undies. No be her bobby dey fir your mouth in your mind like this?

This is exactly while my bible says in Ephesians 6:12 - For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

Wow, what a physically beautiful woman, mehn. Anyway, my bible tells me in Proverbs 6:25 - Do not lust in your heart after her beauty or let her captivate you with her eyes.

My bible says it in Psalm 92:14 Even in old age they will still produce fruit; they will remain vital and green. They will be like trees that stay healthy and fruitful, even when they are old.

Congratulations to him.

MONEY247:
Go and read your Bible again

My bible has already said it in Titus 1:16 They claim to know God, but by their actions they deny him. They are detestable, disobedient and unfit for doing anything good.

My bible says in Exodus 20:16 You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.

muyico:
Madam?? You re too harsh, weytinz 7yrs old boy knw!

My bible has advice for you in Ephesians 5:1 Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.

Sterope:
The moniker I quoted has explained what she meant and she is right within the category of women she is addressing.

Your response points to what my bible tells me in Colossians-4-6: Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer each person.

Sterope:
With or without feminism, reality remains unchanged.


In the real world, many men earn less or not enough, some lack vision, or take things for granted, and waiting around for them to change isn't a practical step and you can't force them to change either. So she steps up because she wants more for herself and for her kids i.e better food, better education, a better life.

The other option is to live single, which can bring peace, but with its own struggles. So a lot of them keep going, doing double the work, because deep down, she hopes that get effort will guarantee that her children will have something better.

It's easy to say a man should fully provide, cover most of the expenses, or even help with the chores but the reality is, he's an adult, and sometimes life or his own choices get in the way.

You're blessed. My bible has you in mind when it tells me in Proverbs 14:1 Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands.

Fountainofyouth:
Mothers focus more on training their daughters in preparation for adulthood and marriage but excuse nonsense behaviour from their sons, that's why we have so many deranged, pedophilic, sexual defiant men roaming the earth today creating havoc and messed up society at their wake, look at Nigeria, messed up by both young and old men,

God help the next generation.

My bible in Ephesians 4:31 has advice for you: Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of evil behavior.

pocohantas:
Lol @ how can you be a femimist and want a provider. That is how they convince one innocent lady to do 50:50. Then she cooks, cleans, births the kids, do the emotional labour, takes the career dip and contributes a good percentage of her income __until the scales falls off her eyes and she becomes resentful.

I am slowly beginning to not pity women who fall into that trap.

My bible didn't mince words when it says in Proverbs 27:15 A continual dropping in a very rainy day and a contentious woman are alike.

Mariangeles:
I'm curious to know your original moniker.

Oh dear, my bible says in Proverbs 25:2-3 It is the glory of God to conceal things, but the glory of kings is to search things out. As the heavens for height, and the earth for depth, so the heart of kings is unsearchable.

Mariangeles:
I don't remember staying too long at anyone's house, to the point of becoming too familiar, and I don't remember overstepping boundaries beyond where I'm comfortable with, or should I say "felt too at home" at somebody's house.
Oh! And I could never sleepover at someone else's house.
I was more of an outdoor, carefree, playful kid.

Although, your friends' mummies could send you on errands sha.

Mariah, Mariah. You've improved a lot. Anyway, my bible has already said it in James 1:12 Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised.

AbosedeFalade:
Must you Nigerians justify every bad thing? Her reply to the man is uncalled for.

Interesting. Thank you for doing what my bible tells me in
Jeremiah 22:3 This is what the LORD says: Be fair-minded and just. Do what is right! Help those who have been robbed; rescue them from their oppressors.
