This is interesting and very different - What do you think about this? Temporary marriage for 2 years - at the end of 2 years if you are getting along and still happy the marriage becomes permanent. If at the end of 2 years you are not happy you can go your separate ways and end the marriage without having to undergo a divorce.

I'm not sure how I feel about this - I just wanted to share it with NL and hear what different people feel about it and get your feedback on why it is or isn't a good idea.

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexico City lawmakers want to help newlyweds avoid the hassle of divorce by giving them an easy exit strategy: temporary marriage licenses.
Leftists in the city's assembly -- who have already riled conservatives by legalizing gay marriage -- proposed a reform to the civil code this week that would allow couples to decide on the length of their commitment, opting out of a lifetime.

The minimum marriage contract would be for two years and could be renewed if the couple stays happy. The contracts would include provisions on how children and property would be handled if the couple splits.

"The proposal is, when the two-year period is up, if the relationship is not stable or harmonious, the contract simply ends," said Leonel Luna, the Mexico City assemblyman who co-authored the bill.

"You wouldn't have to go through the tortuous process of divorce," said Luna, from the leftist Party of the Democratic Revolution, which has the most seats in the 66-member chamber.

Luna says the proposed law is gaining support and he expects a vote by the end of this year.

Around half of Mexico City marriages end in divorce, usually in the first two years.

When we receive little treats that brighten our day

by bringing a smile to our face

we should share the joy with our new friends

I wanted my NLer's to have a bright and humorous start to a good weekend.

@ Mikael

I know - I howled!!!!

What got me was that it just caught me off guard - I thought I was going to be reading a wonderful wedding invitation to trump all invitations in wording and design.

When I read:

"You are regretfully invited"

and

"My Perfect Son"

and the

"The Two Bit Tramp"

and

"Her name escapes me now"

I rolled - I was laughing in shock so hard.

Yes - It was Sweeeetttt!

well it's good to know that they can finally see the images

I just thought it was sooo funny

the invitation was what cracked me up - the wording was so priceless

i just thought it would go over well - sorry I didn't know what I was doing when posting - now I know to save it first before pulling it directly from my email

There are many weddings in the US that family members feel the same way but they just don't say it out loud - I am still laughing at the invitation "choice of words"

Sadly many Americans do the same as well from my observation.

Many Americans - especially men - do the same - just start pressing buttons and don't want to take the time to read.

I need to revive this thread

In Naira, How much is Petrol in Lagos today?

Is it sold in gallon or litre format?


In Naira, How much is cooking gas in Lagos today?

Thank you

Comrade Maclatunji's dead right.

I find the same goes with car Owner's Manuals. I get a heck of a lot of emails from Nigerians, asking me questions about their cars that are so obvious, if the manuals are read. How could any literate person be asking me what the "L" position on their automatic transmission means? Or what the ABS light on their dash means? Worse, what does ABS actually do?

When I tell them to read the manual, a lot just say "if you can't help me, forget it, the manual is too stressful." Some will get abusive and defensive, some will say they chucked the manual in the trash, when they were removing the protective plastic covers on the seats / floor. That is shameful. I wouldn't call it arrogance, I would say it's more down to laziness. A lot of Nigerians only read, when there's no other choice, like for an exam / test. Anything longer that 4 lines gets a response "dis one na essay, e too long, I no finish am." One only has to read responses to threads on Nairaland, even if it's broken down into clear, concise paragraphs, they give up a quarter of the way through.

We need to imbibe the culture of reading, and not waiting to be spoon fed. The refusal to carry out research (which involves reading) is one of the reasons Nigerians get ripped off, by middlemen "selling" them information which is freely available at the click of a mouse. A quick sift through the Travel section will reveal this, whereby Nigerians are duped almost daily by visa "agents", because they refuse to read. Same goes for those posting requests for "flights to the US at a good price." They fully expect someone else to Google, and supply them the info, because they're too lazy to do things themselves.

I am finding this to be true as well.

To Family Section and Romance Section of NL (I have to post this in both areas)

My mom - emailed this to me as one of her good friends forwarded it to her.

Some of you might have seen this already (I have been reminded more than once that what I am seeing for the first time - has many times already been circulated) - so if this isn't your first time seeing this.

Here's to seeing it again.

Lax75:
Oh brother. . not him again. (covers eyes). Sister Shy-One, you know you are a glutton for punishment. hahahahaha

I know - I give up.  smh  

BoboYekini:
shy one, what if your man was on the small side, Would you have him die for your 'honor'? Oh, i see, you're BBW so you'd only ever date a giant, so you both can go round the clubs bustin nuts, bonnie and clyde.
Lwkm, see you talk about throwing punches and disarming gunmen like say na beans. .

Me, i'm a lover o, not a fighter
No time,
mrbrownjay for president! Nuff said.

NO I AM NOT!  Mr Brownjay doesn't have a clue and what are you even talking about?

Nursery 1:
PROTECTION? Please what does this mean? Who is to protect who? Is it solely a man's duty?
If its the man's duty to protect his girl, whose duty is it to protect the man? Oh i forgot men are immortals, invincible, they dont need protect, they can protect themselves.
Shy-one stop hiding behind the excuse that woman are the weaker sex, for God sake have seen some woman who got their men's back.

What is it with you?

In the red corner and in the blue corner - ahahahahahah - ooooo my side.

I give up - really I do. Just leave me alone.

You and your ceaseless answers - I tire oooo! Too much wahala.

@ 2buff

That is what you guys have turned the thread into - you have taken the post and turned it into another scenario

My new friend Mikael - knows exactly what he is talking about and answered CORRECTLY.  You don't like his response and now you are trying to draw him to "your side of the fence"

leave him alone - he is "with us"



Mikael you did a fantastic job - thank you - keep being you - don' t bother with these guys.  They just like causing wahala.

^^^^

carrying my head along with it?



leave me alone Mr. 2

She is cheating - Darling?

I call my guy baby and babe. That is what I call him - I NEVER USE THAT TERM WITH ANYONE - EVER. And I never will and if I do - it is because we are personally involved.

Darling? Who talks like that?

The model "Iman" called everyone "Dahhhhhling" for effect.

That is not what it sounds like from the "poster's description"

And then for there to be silence - makes it certain to me that the woman, "figured out she had made a mistake" - she then couldn't "own her mistake" and she quickly got off the phone and did not call back "probably from embarrassment and fear"

If she wasn't cheating or creeping - she would have immediately on the phone laughed and corrected herself by explaining her usage of that word to her guy. But her actions of hanging up and not calling - are clear signs that "she ain't right"

[quote author=~Mikael~ link=topic=769878.msg9239171#msg9239171 date=1317238492][size=14pt]Yeah thanks! It's emotionally confusing at first, when you just received the call from her! Undeniably, the default response would be go, go, go! But then on second thoughts, how long would it actually and realistically take you to get to her location? Maybe the OP forgot, but this NIGERIA! A country notorious for Bad Roads and Traffic Deadlocks . . . . . What if? How long would it take for me to get there? Best i can do is ensure she is safe, by helping her keep herself safe, and then driving to meet her where she is; cos definitely, she MUST be in a state of emotional quagmire, shaken beyond relief & belief at the thoughts of bullets flying over her head and all that discombobulating stuff! By the time i get there finally, i'll be more composed to handle the situation and then comfort her accordingly![/size] [/quote]Your woman is very lucky to have you.
