Xiadnat:
I think there is such a thing as 'over communicating'. It leaves nothing to mystery.

A little mystery is good for a relationship.

Truth is: not everything needs to be communicated--and definitely not verbally. Much can be said non-verbally as well.

Not everything needs to be verbalized. Hold back some. I think the challenge is in discerning when to speak and when to hold it.
When it comes to grieviances,communication is sacrosanct.

These are the things people tell themselves that they them in trouble.

Do you really think a 35 years old woman will be comfortable and utterly contented with a 55-60 years old man?

Generation indeed!

Anything above 10 years, you are asking for trouble!
In actual fact,love and age are not juxtaposed in anyway because they run very oparallel in the real world.

A lady of 25 could feel that connection with a 50year old man and shhe will just realize that no matter how hard she tries, her heart will gravitate towards that 50year old man..That is the mystery.

All these talks about 20 years,10 yeras is very inconsequential. My advice is that you should marry that person you feel that bonding with because its no use looking for a younger age when the available ones are clueless.

Its so unfortunate that all you do on Nairaland is making a list or giving advice on relationship yet you couldn't settle down even in your 40s.
Don't tell me you want to train your children with grey hairs.
It is believed that very good doctors make the worst patients so that is the irony of life.

I guess one of the strong reasons toke makinwa had to go back to her hubby because she is a relationship expert who will not want to hear balderdash such as the one you just wrote.

You don't bother about me, face your parole and do quick and start raising a family if you have'nt .As for me,if i like i remain single for life and that is not your headache.,MY LIFE,MY DECISION.

Have a great day.

Technically married? Is there anything of such in marriage? Oga, you never marry before. May be u put one girl belle accidentally.
I know that word technical will get you confused.

But is there a big deal in seing a 40 yr old single guy?

I served at age 21 so im still young and infact i look 33 so im not pressured about marriage.

The fact is that marriage is more than the i love you talks and no one should get married cos of age thing..marry wen you bliv you are ready.

Have a great day dude.

Oga, permit me to be harsh on you for once by shocking you a little. In 1997, you were already a corper while i was in primary school and between then and now, it's good 19yrs and you are not married. All you do is coming to nairaland to write epistles about women of which you've refused to pick one and settle down with. Your village people must really be using your brain to fry Akara.
lol..this post got me cracked up...This is why i love the facelessness of online social platform cos no matter the oshogbo weed wey you tyake,you definitely cant say these to my face...

Let me ignore your childishness and educate you a little..Asides the fact that i was technically married,marriage must nver be used as a criterion to ascertain the worthiness of an individual and i believe you will understand this fact as you grow in maturity...naughty kid.

Any age difference that falls within same generation is ok so any age of 20years or less is ok but when you marry outside your generation then there could be issues bothering on ethics,beliefs and outlook..

BTW a generation is about 20 to 25years

very true. most women want their hubby to be a kind of teleporting angel who reads mind and even raise to every single tin slight issues bordering them before they even speak out. and they seems to mistake to a casing and sensitive man.

but they don't no that men r not super human but mere being just like they are.

the annoying kind of women r those u will ask a million times "honey what is d problem", no matter how convinced u r that sth worries her she will still smile adamantly claiming nothing is wrong. I hate women wit such habit en?
If i ask you what the problem is for the first time and you say nothing..i will pet you and ask for the second time but if you still insinst there is nothing then that is it.
RomanceWhen you are in a deaf and dumb relationship. by Toks2008(op):
EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION.

Am affair that lacks effective communication is a deaf and dumb affair.

Do you know that communication is the only prerequisite for any long lasting union? YES after you have established a romantic affair,the next stage is getting to understand each other which can only be achieved through effective communication and not mind-reading.With good communication, you will know in a timely manner if you can tolerate each other.

Every break in any form of union starts with a break down of communication. And worst still, delayed communication.

This is the case with many union today, we tend to stomach issues that would have been discussed and trashed out. There is no small or big issue, all issues must be treated with urgency. Don't be lackadaisical in expressing your resentments but communicate your pains sternly.

The worst part of it is that most of the time, the other party does not even have a clue if you are hurting so while you keep building up resentments, he/she will help you to add more until it becomes so big that before you say Jack, the union is broken beyond repair.And it gets even stranger when some people will rather prefer to discuss their partner's flaws with friends and would go on and on about what they hate in that person when that partner does not even have a clue of those faults

It could be an issue as trivial as the way your partner uses water, toothpaste,eating habit,relates with people, uses groceries in the house,the snoring habit, dress sense,abusive words,talkativeness or as serious as drunkenness, smoking,addiction of any kind,philandering and so on.

Even in sexual matters, you may like to be touched in a certain manner, made love to in a certain way,it may be a body odor from your partner or mouth odor.If he does not last long in bed please tell him to do something about it because you don't want to go out. If she is not good in bed tell her or teach her how you want it.

It can be anything and i mean anything at all. Don't shelve it, don't ignore that issue,TRASH IT OUT IMMEDIATELY and i mean real trashing in a serious but humble and loving manner.


If you allow that resentment to go undisclosed, you can be sure to have more and more every passing day until it becomes a great wall of permanent divide and when you stomach issues,it can accumulate so much that it may cause you to overeact which may lead to terrible consequence..

Don't be scared in discussing issues with your spouse because if you are afraid of doing this then i guess you should as well opt for a break because i don't see that union getting better. And if you are the type of man who is so bossy that you think women have no say then you are indeed a beast who deserves to be living alone in the jungle.

It is no longer news that tolerance is vital in any union we find ourselves because there is no perfect man or woman but nevertheless, we can always adjust and be the best we can for our partners if only we know the area that needs adjustment which can only be known by us if the other party opens up.


Lets learn to be communicative in a constructive and humane manner and we will realize how powerful this can be.

Hope this helps.

LOL!

The truth is that every lady should know what she is getting into and if both of you are really close,you can actually decide to see it live and does not mean he will grab you but if the lady is the timid type, she can still stylishly know.

Many guys should understand that in most cases,when a lady says i do in holy matrimony, she is actually saying i do 70% to that thing and any other thing is 30%,that is why you see some ladies saying"i justy love him" even when the guy no be am in terms of other aspects and this is what makes a rich madam follow okada man.

The OP reminds me of my SHORTEST ever relationship.
I normally avoid these types of women, but one slipped through the net.
She did something 5-ish -- not another man, but she disappeared for a couple of days.
When she resurfaced, I said nothing. cool
The next day it's, "did you miss me?"
I said, "no". cool
Then I let the whole thing just fizzle out. That was the end of my two week relationship with trouble woman. cool cool

hockeyoilers:
I just find it remarkable a man pulled from a vagina attached to an umbilical cord for sustenance is considered a God , and/or worthy of worship. We are talking about a man who ate food and used the bathroom.

A man like all men who does not know the day of judgment. A man who like Muslims prayed on his face to the creator.

I prefer to worship the creator not the creation.
That moment when you say..if you have seen my son,do to him what you woukd to me.

Jesus is the son of GOD by divine adoption and not biological and when we worship and give praise to Hesus,we are actually worshipping Jehovah who is known as Allah in Arabic.

For the records,no one should pride himself as gainfully employed until you are your own boss cos that job can be taking away from you in a flash and that lady who married you for that job or money will leave you IF that job is no more there.

God! What did i just read? I cant believe that In this age and time, young enlightened ppl like the op and those liking his post are of the opinion that educating a girl child is a waste. Plz parents, if u can afford it, educate ur girl child, theres more to education than ending up with a good job and getting rich. Infact may i use this opportunity and medium to celebrate my Dad as i always do, everyday of my life. We are 6 girls and our only brother who is the last and the only one still in uni. As a matter of fact we are the ones paying his fees now cos we hv asked our parents to relax and enjoy themselves. We are all graduates and am proud to say we are all outstanding in our various fields, some of us are professionals some are not, but thats not even the remarkable thing about us. I bet u, u would never meet a group of beautiful, smart, witty, confident sisters with very high self esteem like us. Infact when our husbands come together, the unknowingly talk endlessly about us and compare us like its a game of who married the smartest sister. I thank God for our parents that believed in us especially my Dad who never considered us lesser humans because we wr girls. We are not rich (that kind of world definition of rich) our husbands are not rich either but our parents are reaping the fruits of their labour. Even my uncles hv made envious statements to my dad on several occasions. I can tell u that he raised better children and is a prouder father than most of them who had more of boys. My friends always say that i cant hv a conversation without mentioning my dad, and its true because i just cant stop celebrating the man.

Abeg give ur children, whether boy or girl the best education u can afford, make una no mind op.
Kai..imagine your brilliant post..if only you did not spoil it with the starting cos there was nver a place i wrote that a girl child should not be educated...habba

Well, d best tin is to build ur life urslf wfout depending on anybody because nobody is trustworthy.
I wonder why many people hace derailed this thread with this parallel arguement.

The write up is nver about faulting the desire of a lady to be with a rich guy...for petes sake its her choice and let her achieve it or die trying...her headache.

This write up is a clarion call for the girl child in Nigeria to focus on using the same opportunity a boy child is expected to utilize to bcome that rich guy they want to also become a rich lady,an achiever,a success and having a rich man should be by chance and not a do or die thing.

I am an enterprenure and a politician and it has never for once in my life conciously or unconciouly crossed my mind that i should hook up with a rich lady or one from a rich home...that is the same spirit every female graduate should have and not make a mess up all their years of stressful education by grtaduating and starts a job of richmanhunting...it is sickening and crazy.

for those ladies out there who beliv in themselves,the achievers,those who are ready to make it a do or die affair to become successful with or without a man....those who are ready to say a BIG THANK YOU to their sponsor i say Kudos.

WOMEN ARE ATTRACTED TO WEALTH AND PROSPERITY OR AT LEAST THE POTENTIAL OF IT! AND GUESS WHAT? GOD HIMSELF MADE IT THAT WAY! ADAM HAD A JOB IN FACT HE WAS THE RICHEST MAN THAT EVER LIVED BEFORE GOD BROUGHT EVE!
So pick your sorry a$$ up and go get a JOB! Cos only a stupid woman would marry a man without a means of living!
I totally second your stand view but dont you think it is insane for a man and woman to have equal platform to excel but despite that,the ladies who claim that a lady can do better watever a man can do will turn around to eat their words by xlamouring for a rich guy?

Its like you are still missing the point in that write up...if we are to use the garden of eden as a case study,it means that in the present day,the grden of eden will be likened to the equal education and job opportunities afforded to both gender.

No one is asking a lady not to look for a made guy but when it becomes an ultimate searxh adventure,expecially for graduates then there is a big big fire on the mountain which if left will cause a collosal damage.

this obsession is a long a long underlying trait in MOST undergraduate or graduated ladies,as their true essence of goin to Universities is to
1.experience that sweet freedom campus life they hv been seing in the home videos.
2. To come out to the world and show what they have got above their fellow female folks you notice it from their values(latest clothes)
3. to answer that name GRADUATES so as to give the an edge over other wives,especially when ranting in their women gathering
4. As lazy and cawordice as they are,haven tought ahead and seen how "hard" life is in their little brain,they need a rescuer to cling to n "graduate" accolade wil attract values to the in marriage..nt knwin dt education empowers u to carry onus wch dey r affraid to compete

You just confirmed that many ladies are unintelligent,mentally shallow and acutely abusive cos from ur frst comment,you hve been misquoting my write up and cursing.

Please wat does my write up have to do with your comments?

The point is not about a rich or poor man but that every lady should come out of the higher inst not wth the mindset of meeting a made man as it is mostly seen these days but to also strige to be financially independent and a rich man will only be a plus.

Is this too much to comprehend?
