AdeniyiA: heheheheh..... Sweetlemon, lets set up a marriage counselling outfit ASAP! ![]() |
bestestgirl: ![]() |
We have seen so many relationship advise columns. We have been served so many ways of recognizing and measuring love. "he opens car doors for you" "he's a gentle man around you" "he will want to marry" "he will buy you gifts" "he will not want to hurt your feelings" "he calls you 5 times a day" " he texts you" bla bla bla. See, any player or good guy can treat you right. If you are pretty, rich, intelligent, most guys will treat you right. No big deal really. Most men will treat you right until they have gotten what they want from you whether it is sex, one-night stand, side dish, contact, or marriage. In fact, many men show their true colours after marriage. That is why I keep saying this Getting married is a destination, preserving your marriage is a whole new never ending journey entirely! Everything does not automatically become perfect because of that metal on your finger or that piece of paper you signed. In fact, it is only an admission letter into the marriage institution. Whether you pass or fail in that school is a different thing entirely. These are what I have been able to gather about the love-o-meter of most men. 1. A Man Madly In love Will Marry You ASAP: Now this is a tricky one. Like I mentioned in my last thread, men these days do not necessarily marry because of love. Many marry because they need a wife/help meet for whatever reasons. However when a man really loves you, he marries you because he loves you and not because he needs a wife. The remaining points will help you know if you are going to be a "wife in need" or beloved wife. 2. People Will Tell You He Loves You: When a man is crazy about you, your friends, family members, colleagues, associates, and all who have seen you guys together will tell you. Those who have known him long before you came into his life will ask you "what have you done to him? 3. Your Intuition Will Affirm This: Females have powerful intuitions. Always listen to yours. It is hardly ever wrong. If you asked most woman in bad marriages, they'd admit that they always knew something was terribly wrong but naively thought it will get better. You cannot change a man or even make him love you. You can only awaken/re-awaken the feelings already in him. 4. The Fear Of Loosing You Becomes The Beginning Of Wisdom: He can't stand the thought of you walking out of his life, he's sure not going to turn into a vegetable but sister, he's going to do what he can and avoid whatever he must to make sure you stay even if he has to give up his priced bachelorhood. 5. He Will Spend On You...... With Pleasure: A guy will be happy to spend his hard earned cash on you whether or not he gets to sleep with you or even date you. It may not start immediately but after a while especially if he's trying to see if you are materialistic. Give your man sometime while you prove that you are worth his money. 6. If He Was A Player, He Protects You From His Bad Friends/Crazy Exes, etc.: Normally if you are dating a player or typical bad boy ladies man, his friends will make passes at you, even disrespect you, etc. Other girls will want to fight you, etc. But he will be your knight. He will spell it out to his friends that. "Nna mehn, I am feeling this babe. Dis na my babe." he will mark you and his friends will understand that perfectly. Other girls will feel intimidated by your presence and will not even dare speak to you not to talk of challenging you. 7. It's No Longer Sex, It Becomes Love making: He plays you like a Spanish guitar, that's because he wants to leave his mark on you, he wants you to enjoy it as much as he does. He wants you to feel him. It becomes like an art and not like a romp. A man that loves you doesn't withdraw immediately after climaxing and doesn't jump off the bed after the show. He stays a little longer holding you unless if he's in a hurry to go somewhere important. After Marriage: 8. He Refers To You And Treats You Like His Better Half: Yes. A man who truly loves you will get even better after marriage. He will give you more than he gives himself, etc. You are his madam in all ramifications even while he protects you with the last drop of his blood. 9. He Doesn't Make It A Habit To Take Things From You: That's because he didn't marry you because of daddy's wealth or your six-figure salary. He will want to give more than he takes. 10. He Respects Your Opinions: He may not always go by them, but he will respect them. It's left to you to be able to know how to make him actually act on them. Know how to pull his strings. 11. He Doesn't Freak Out Or Make Your Life Miserable When The Children Haven't Started Coming In: There might be occasional awkward moments here and there, but he's not going to start giving ultimatums, or threats, or cut down on your weekly/monthly money because you haven't given him a child yet. He will protect you from outside ridicule/pressures, etc. 12. He Doesn't Put Pressure On You To Get/Retain A Job: That's because he didn't get married because he needed a financial partner. He married you because he loves you so he's not going to treat or see you as a liability if you are not yet working. Disclaimer: Love is not a bed of roses. Don't always expect him to be a gentleman. Why should he always open car doors for you? Are you a learner? Even Prince Philips doesn't open doors for Queen Elizabeth all the time when they are not in public! If he's a busy man, a top govt official, company senior official, successful businessman, etc. he cannot be calling you everyday. Even if he is a low income earner. BUT he will always make up in ways that will make it all worthwhile. He cannot always call you "honey" "baby" etc. Some days he will call your full name sef "Oluwayemisi come here!" " Chimbusonma I want to eat" "Nkechiyere don't waste my time" There will be tough times as well. Times when you will even cry and wonder what you are doing with him, but these points should console you and assure you that you are on the right track. Cheers! |
McWhillion: Intelligent girls.Exactly! One would think a gentle girl cannot be intelligent. Gentleness in itself is a form of mature intelligence. Same way some unexposed people will ask "a beautiful dumb girl or an ugly intelligent girl" as if beautiful girls cannot be intelligent. Mtcheeeeeeeeew |
aflyingbird: op, good post. one of d reasons my ex cheated on me was cuz i didn't want to have pre-marital sex. his other reason... he didn't like my quiet personality. he confessed all these himself. i told him my beliefs right from when we started dating n told he he didn't hv to stay with me if he was looking for a relationship with sex n said he was cool with it n would wait till marriage. i told him i'm a quiet person too. instead of him to break up with me n let me go jeje, he chose to cheat continuously for a year. he was a good actor cuz i had nooo idea. there i was thinking he was sooo patient, sweet, faithtful n honestThe guy didn't leave you because you didn't want to sleep with him. He left because he wanted to anyway. Like I tried to explain in my first post, it doesn't matter if/when a guy has sex with you, if/when he wants to leave, he will leave because you are not the only girl in the world with a virgina. If you are not ready to have sex, don't. Wait till you want to. With the right man. |
salt1: Please let me help correct this impression. Adults do what they choose to do. It is unhealthy for you to feel that you are responsible for your ex's decision to cheat on you: every adult decides what he wants to do with his life.Let's use the daft-o-meter now. What exactly do you believe I am advising girls to do here? |
salt1: Sweetlemon, can you buy those readers for me? Oh No, you shouldn't because I am a block head who needs deliverance and may not even understand what I am reading if you bought me the collection. Thanks so much and God bless you. ![]() |
Mr Salt1 you need a full collection of Macmillan primary school reader (book1-6)ASAP. Where in my post did I ever mention teenagers can have sex? You mean even I after my last post to explain myself you block head still do not understand my point? You need deliverance! Btw how old are you? |
Disclaimer: This article is in no way whatsoever against waiting till marriage for sex. It only separates fantasy from facts. If you want to remain a virgin till marriage please do. If you want to stop having sex till marriage, please do. Even after I wrote this disclaimer in bold, some quarter-baked, hypersensitive people are still concluding that I am against no sex before marriage O ga o! Did you guys also see where I wrote this? "Even if you do not want to have sex with him until marriage, make sure that chemistry is there. Make sure you see a sign of hot and steamy nights to come after marriage. Thank me later." It beats me as to how someone will conclude that I said men don't like good girls. Please what does this sentence mean to the average adult? "See, men like good girls that have fire underneath them" smh |
phew09: good gals marry bad boys, bad girls marry good girls blah blahblah....It's sha not my fault that you lack comprehension skills. My mum married as a virgin and I couldn't wish my dad on my worstest enemy! Like you were somehow able to grab from my write-up, it's not about when you marry but how well you marry. It's not about how many people you slept with but about the kind of person you eventually end up with. |
Lol! So this made front page? 344 likes? ![]() Thanks to those who understand and appreciate my post. To those of you who didn't, I don't know how to simplify this post any further than this to make you guys finally understand my point. |
MadCow1: Kids Go outside and play?!If you ve ever been in an aje-butter estate, you'd see loads of kids playing all sorts of outdoor games ranging from cycling to hide and seek to even ten ten and suwe. once the sun is down. |
hahahahahaha if I yab somebody here ehn! He will report me to the mods again. |
naijababe: @ Sweetlemon, please now auntie! You are coming down like a ton of bricks on the young 'unsLol! Some people are just something else! |
Just look at how dem xyneriee, Dygeasy, and co are giving advice like say dem know pass. See how they are condemning the op for saying he is tempted to cheat on her as if they'd handle things any better should their own wives suddenly develop some brainwashed sense of spirituality. Can't you sympathize with the op? I can only imagine how hard this is for him right now. I can see how hard this guy is trying not to cheat, he's being upfront honest with himself instead of living miserably in denial or just subjecting himself to the cruel fate of being married to someone who doesn't entice him anymore. So the op should start enduring his marriage now as if he's in kirikiri prison ba? Awon oloshi advisers oshi! mtcheeeeeeeeeeew let me tell you something most of you even married folks do not know. Sex is probably the most powerful force in marriage. Couples who enjoy good sex have much higher chances of wanting themselves for much longer and much lower chances of cheating on each other. And talking about sex, physical appearance has a lot to do with it. The op married his wife while she was still fashionable. And for those self righteous people accusing him of not loving her inside, I have news for you, That was part of her personality! It was part of the things that made her who she was. So don't give me crap about him loving only her physical beauty. FYI, I define beauty as an inner sense of peace and confidence that manifests on the outside. What you see about something attracts you to that thing before you can even want to know anything about it. So now that op's wife no longer attracts him, what should? So when op and his wife want to make love they should start singing/quoting songs of Solomon ni? Oh puleeeez! I hate it when people are not realistic. That is why most of our problems remain hanging for too long cos we are in denial. OP. You need to pray. Pray hard for God to reveal the truth about fashion to her. Pray hard for God to let her see that she's hurting her marriage and that's the plain truth. Pray for God to reveal to her that she is actually sinning when she causes her husband to sin. You see why I keep advising ladies about this?: Getting married is one thing. Preserving your marriage is a different journey entirely. Do not confuse the two of them. NEVER you ever think that all is well just because of that thing on your finger or because of some piece of paper. Ok nau. Cheers! |
Why are people screaming SW up and down? Come to my village in Akwa Ibom nau. SS3 students cannot even speak basic English. Nonsense! |
Akshow: U are seriously in need of this free education. No full stop, no comma, no sense in the raaaawbish u wrote above.Oh my days! ![]() |
It's either all these people posting jobs tips on NL do not live in Nigeria or they live in cloud 9. |
Funny thread! ![]() |
zeongeon: The TRUTH is that some men off this era are screwing up big time..they depend on women, lazy about and the disgusting path is that there so laid back being gold diggers and looking up to women..that's why you see them making request for sugar mummy, insisting a gal must be working or must be from a rich home...I think I am begining to believe what my shihan(martial arts master) told me, that many real men that where suppose to pass down manly values to younger men who would in turn pass it to d coming generation of men died during the second world war.Another survivor left from a dying breed. Please try to preserve this by passing on to your kids ok? |
ihedinobi2: How is she encouraging women to be lazy and clingy? How do you know that Omotola respects her husband or even really brings in more than he does? Do you live with them? Do they share their financial records with you? Does your wife earn more than you and still respect you?Are you still arguing with these people? When people are bent on seeing things from a particular point of view, they suddenly develop comprehension disabilities. They purposely or psychologically choose not to read and absorb what you are trying to say to them. |
victorazy: Bros! Wetin u mean?Lol. I'm sure he meant late dad or something like that. @ topic, tears of joy of course! In this time and age of gold-digging men, use and dump guys, etc. e no easy to land better husband. |
carefreewannabe: This is what the OP said:Madam wannabe, If you want to keep on misreading and over reading meanings in people's posts so some unambitious broke assses can applaud your superwomanliness, good for you girl. This topic don stale abeg. I'm tired of talking about it. Cheers! |
ihedinobi2: If anything at all is objective, then we cannot consign all alternative lifestyles to a question of preference. If one lifestyle is right, its opposite will necessarily be wrong or else there is no need talking about right or wrong.100000000000000000000000 gbosas for you my guy! May God continue to preserve men like you. AMEN! Don't mind that wannabe. She's trying too hard to prove she's a superwoman. |
carefreewannabe: So you agree that a man does not deserve complete respect if he earns less than his wife?Lol! Let's look at it this way. There are men and there are men. First of all, op is not saying that a man deserves less respect for earning more than his wife. What she is decrying is the way more and more men are now getting comfortable with this which is not supposed to be so. She asking "what happened to the men of the 80s and 90s who will not sleep easy until they land one lucrative deal or the other?" She's wondering why men are now loosing that masculine thing about them, that God-given desire to go out and hunt and even compete with other hunters. She's wondering why men are now leaning towards women so much for this. Why are they now expecting the women to do the hunting even if it is at the expense of their home. Why will they close their eyes to their wives leaving home at 6am and coming home at 10pm, leaving the kids, and general home management at the mercy of some maid all in the name of having an independent woman? What then is the man's use if he cannot protect his woman from that? How then is he the man of the house? Is it because he has something dangling between his legs ![]() ![]() ?She's concerned about the way wannabe-superwomen like you encourage this new trend without thinking of the long run after effects of this. What the op means about women liking to depend on men is that women like to feel taken care of, they like, and in fact should feel protected by their men even if she has all the money in the world. A man's primary duty should always remain being able to cater for his family. |
LOl. op, with all the broke asss 24/7 Nairalanding men and the I-go-manage-any-kind-of-man females on NL, this your thread is dead on arrival. Only realistic people will agree with you, and we are too few. |
CFCfan: "Objective ko, theory ni"Lol. Yes nau |
CFCfan:Yeah yeah. |
CFCfan: Nah, I can never call a 'toad' a queenObjective ko theory ni. Being objective doesn't mean supporting everyone. It means being able to say things as they are. It means you can commend PDP for something today and criticize them for something they did wrong tomorrow. But all you do is say nice things all the time. You are simply a 'yes' guy. Sorry for being so blunt. But as a friend I'd advice you try and have a mind of your own. |
shymexx: Lmao...I've seen the best of the best out here in the UK. Trust me, they can't even compete Mugabe's Zimbabwe.Keep quiet there. I caught you red handed when you said they are the best you ve seen since you joined NL in 2012. Meaning na for here you dey base all your generalizations. FYI, MBGN has been going on for decades now. |
CFCfan: 1000 likesWhat else do I expect from NL's Mr nice guy? You'd call a toad a queen anyway. Even in politics section, you are nice to all supporters. APC PDP APGA APP etc. All politicians are commendable in your eyes. Smh. |
shymexx: You sound jealous.Very jealous indeed! So na for NL you dey watch all your events? World cup, mbgn etc? Na for NL profiles you dey scope babes? Hahahahahaha You need to go out more often. |
