FamilyRe: Ladies Who Hold On To Their Father's Surname In Marriage by SALady(f): 10:43am On Nov 17, 2010
I have to admit I am sitting on the fence about this one. Firstly I see nothing wrong with any woman who doesnt want to chage her last name to her husbands. I really doubt if it means she loves her man any less nor more, love has no complex.

Personally at this point in my life i'd double barrel the name. Otherwise if hubby insists I'd change it for the hek of it, some things aren't worth fighting for, I choose my battles too well wink

RomanceRe: Will I Ever Get Married? I Hate My Body by SALady(f): 12:34pm On Nov 16, 2010
@Poster depending on your age really at some point in your life you have to go through this phase. We've all been there and it happens during puberty/adolescence. This is a stage we all most over conscious about ourselves and nothing is ever good enough.

However, if you are past adolescence then I'd say you need to work on your self esteem more 'cos at some point in your life you going to have to accept yourself just the way you are, otherwise nobody else will.

Find things you are really good at and do them often and try to improve on them daily, they make a good confidence booster.

Remember you are going to be carrying this body around for the rest of your life, are you then planning to stay unhappy for that long?
RomanceRe: What Is The Easiest Way To Break-up A Relationship? by SALady(f): 12:22pm On Nov 16, 2010
@Topic just tell the person its over, and that you can still be friends if it means anything to both of you. Its better that way 'cos whoever is on the receiveing side at least know what they are dealing with, than to be left with phone calls that goes unanswered and empty promises of I'll came and see you, that can be rude.

Not everybody can read between the lines.
FamilyRe: Is Being A "good" Wife Enough To Keep A Man ? by SALady(f): 7:14am On Nov 16, 2010
DaLover:
To me there is nothing like good wife or good husband when it comes to marriage, I think what exist is good match, perfect match, bad match etc.
Marriage is like an advanced form of friendship, There are those that last forever, and those that fade out after some time.

If you are lucky enough to find the the right partner or friend, its all good, if not then you may be in for it,
If two people don't gel, no matter how you cook or clean, it doesn't matter, they either tolerate the mariage of break up, no other option.

Genetically, I also don't believe that men are designed to cheat, I think its in the training and upbringing,
Boys are trained to be adventurus and explore, while girls are trained to be domestic,

In certain parts of the western world were boys and girls are brought up the same way, cheating ,levels will almost be the same.
^^^Agree

Maybe we should start explaining why most society has more male beggars and semi schizophrenic men than women? Seriously, this has been bugging me for a while.

Does anybody have an idea, could it have anything to do with how they handle stress and their inability to cope?

FamilyRe: Is Being A "good" Wife Enough To Keep A Man ? by SALady(f): 10:08am On Nov 15, 2010
@poster I have to say that I am afraid but there is no book in the first place, otherwise our foregrandmothers would have long aced this test and only for us to raise the bar, thereby keeping our men extra happy.

I think the best recipe is in being yourself. Men loves and stays with us because its what they want to do. You don't have to perform any extraordinary miracles to keep him, in fact I believe the only reason he stays with you is because you being yourself makes him comfortable in who he is and makes life a lot easier for him that way.

Please forget the dream of keeping a man, I swear on my grandfather's grave no man wants to be kept, he just wants the freedom to be himself, and when that time comes for him to leave just say goodbye and maybe thank him for the good run you both had. Yes! there'll be tears but sometimes in life we have to hang on to memories of the good times, its what keeps us going, it is what reminds us of our worth.

Truth is, you haven't lived until you've been to yourself, once you've gone through that phase in life you will then realise that no particular person is worth more than your sacred place, its your source of life. You will also learn just how much you yourself don't want to be kept, but would rather "BE". Now mind the "BE" because this is the part you are absolutely entitled to and you can do whatever the hell you want to do with it. The trick is to spend it wisely. My advice is that you must think quality and not quantity.

You cant keep stuff that doesn't want to be kept, it tends to misbehave just to get the point across and that's not nice. Allow people to "BE" with you only if its what they want to do and you feel the same.

Everything is wrong my dear mod. At that age, a Nigerian girl should have completed her NYSC (all things being equal). You know say wife material scarce small. Lol. Thats why the poor boy is kinda confused.
.

I concur. Thx for that piece.
According to him, he really loves the girl. He is just having a re-think. His challenge is the waiting. You know its not easy for a married woman to study at bachelors level. Its easier at Masters level, you know.

Thanks y'all for contributing meaningfully to this thread. I will send him the link to the thread so that he can read everything here with his koro koro eyes. I'm a good alarina. grin grin
Well its like this, your friend can sacrifice three to four years of a less ideal relationship, so that he may enjoy a lifetime of a hustle free and finacially fit marriage with the woman of his dreams. What's with his short sightedness? In any relationship there'll be risks its all part of the game.

yankypusy:
Relationship is a journey and the vehicle that take you through dat journey is love and trust but this days in relationships no love no trust because of past event why.
I dont know but I am starting to understand why our parents always told us to wait. Thing is, by the time one is suppose to enjoy this part (relationships) of his/her life you find that they've been through a lot and are left jaded.

This is one of the reason why I find it difficult to date older men.

maybe he can't afford the ring yet
Then he must just shut the f^c# up. I honestly dont need a ring, save that money for lobola. Just get your uncles to send my family a letter asking for my hand in marriage as well as commence the lobola negotiations.

Otherwise if you cant afford any of that just sharraap! and dont ever buy me a stupid engagement ring, buy me a wedding ring instead.

There's nothing like a six pack of either heineken/windhoek/grolsch on a friday evening after work, especially when you get home and your man has already organised it so you can knock yourself out. Those are the moments man. I also think some of the finest moments are shared over a glass of wine on a quiete and laaaaazzzzy evening.

Guys its Friday guess what am I goin' be doing?

CareerRe: Can African Professionals Change Africa? by SALady(f): 1:42pm On Nov 10, 2010
AjanleKoko:
African professionals can definitely change Africa. They just need to find the desire to do so.
Right now, most are more concerned with survival, even the ones in the diaspora. We're still a bit far down the maturity continuum. Most have not achieved independence, talk less of interdependence, in their mindset and thinking, not their financial status mind you.

I think South African professionals are a bit further along, as their elites seem to be more progressive than ours. In Nigeria, our entrenched culture is a major issue.
Emboldment, is the concept I'd like to hear African's talk more about, then perhaps we might stand a chance to bring a fraction of some change.

RomanceRe: How To Lose A Guy That Wont Just Understand That Its Over by SALady(f): 10:05am On Nov 09, 2010
Esan_babe:
Hiya guys, I have got this friend who has been seeing this guy for over 5 years. However, for the last 3 years of the relationship she has been trying to break up with the dude but he seems to shut down everytime she walks out. He uses self pity and constant harrassment. e.g, everytime she breaks up with him her phone, her younger brother's phones, alll her friends phones are constantly ringing with the guy begging all who can listen to talk to her. This tactics usually does the trick and she gets back with him.

I had a heart to heart talk with her and to be honest the girl is completely unhappy. She doesnt love him anymore, she is completely void of any affection apart from pity towards the guy. She has encouraged him to cheat, go out and find other girls and has even tried to set him up with girls that are actually begging for the guys affection (the guy is so fit), but all to no avail. She is tired of pitying him, she wants to get married to a man she loves and respects and not one where the affection is one sided. The fact is that she isn't cheating, hasn't been seeing anyone else but she wants her life back. Now he is stalking her and acting like a crazed person.

I used to feel so sorry for the guy (actually thought she was quite mean) till i spent couples of weeks in her house. I actually got so angry with the guy, I mean if not for anything but for pride sake move on. He kept calling my phone and begging me to talk to her, I tried to make him understand but lie lie the guy no gree oh. The begging and all is so embarrasing, if it was my brother I would have arranged guys to beat the life out of him. I told them both that nobody and i mean nobody is worth this kind of obsession and madness. There is a great and beautiful lady out there for him, if only he can let go he will find that person

Guys what do u think, should she out of pity get back with him, is it okay to marry someone u don't love or respect just because the clock is thinking (she is 25) like people have been advising her. Are there suggestions on how she can completely cut ties.
Nobody should be in a relationship or marry the other person out of pity. Its demeaning actually. Your friend just needs to stop talking to this guy period. Avoid his calls and making appearaces where guy might potentially be.

Thing is, brutal honesty doesnt always work with guys they dont handle it very well, for some bloody strange reason when you become brutally honest that's when they want you more, its crazy.

@Ujujoan, been checking your responses on this thread and couldnt help it but had to give you a high five. I mean for pits sake, if you are that annoyed by a girl and see no future with her whatsoever, why still take your pants down for her? Could it be a sad case of birds of the feather?

Any guy/girl not worth your respect unless your nudity is not part of it, you just walk on by, straight up.
