LAGATA:You do well to seek peace and resolve issues peacably... LAGATA:...but this I don't get ![]() You confronted you wife with incontrovertible proof of her cheating? She vehemently denied to the point of causing a fight? You slapped her during the scuffle? You spent all night pleading with her - presumably to forgive the slap? You took sleeping pills ontop Guy, you are treading a dangerous path. Slapping her was probably not the wisest thing to do, but if you have lived peacably together for 7 years and have evidence of her cheating, the slap is the least of your problems. Sounds like you've been killing yourself to keep the peace for a while. Possibly what makes her think she can behave as she chooses. Your play after the slap - which even if regrettable was not the worst thing you could have done, or even the crux of the matter here - only made things worse TV |
mcdokwe , good morning. I have come to this one a little late, so I won't read the whole thread before commenting - indeed, I don't really need to. I don't subscribe to the mantra that "a man must never lay his hands on a woman". For one, it's not hollistic or complete; there should be zero tolerance for any kind of abuse from men or women. Secondly, there may well be occassions where laying hands on a is actually neccessitated. For example where a life is endangered. I am, however, of the school of thought that believes a man should always rise above any emotional hysterics from the women in his life - and certainly not respond in kind. And where at all possible, refuse such women entry into his space. You give something away as a man when you allow yourself to respond emotionally to a womans provocation. Always try and rise above it. I am heartened by the fact that you realise you could have handled the situation differently - and better. Take the lesson - become a better man. Best TV mcdokwe: |
Simply had to comment on this heartwarming news. Glorious! May God continue to bless their generations even as they stand in testimony of His mercies and love. I have no doubt divine grace is in the mix here. And to everyone that aspires to same; may The Good Lord Himself grant you the righteous desires of your heart - beyond anything you may think or ask. Made my day already. TV NL' MIC - "Marriage Advocate In Chief" ![]() |
...it's not about how one starts, but about how one finishes! May God bless all those who Love The Lord Jesus Christ in truth. TV |
Dheartless:Cheers mate. She's keeping us all up ! But she pweety !Shollypopzz:Thank you. Any plans to breed yourself? TV |
Shollypopzz:Can't say I'm sorry to disappoint you, but wifey and are I already subscribe to this doctrine . Not only do we limit our intimate relations to every third Wednesday and an end-to-end time of 2 mins 37 seconds approx - we use an egg-timer - we only ever engage in the one position. And always partially clothed (I mean whats the point of fully disrobing for a 2 and a half minute interlude ) with the lights of.Making heaven. Is my sole focus in life! Come, are you Bananabender et al? Otherwise I've simply no idea why someone I've never heard of should want me in hell? Not to mention I'm an annihilist? TV **say after me; "sex is for procreation"** |
carefreewannabe:And no one has asserted otherwise !carefreewannabe:No one would guess there are any pro's from your posts. All you do is denigrate it, slur it and misrepresent it. Even as you utterly fail to grasp it's essence, workings or value. You have never said anything positive about it's absolute or relative - to other forms - good. If you - or anyone else wants to discuss marriage, I'm right here, but don't try and sell us this bogus "pros and cons" nonsense,when you never have a good word to say about it and are always harping on about the benefits of so called "de-facto" relationships. carefreewannabe:I make no judgements as to the value of individuals or their unions. I advocate for marriage as the best model for male/female relationships, their children and wider societal flourishing. What people want and choose is totally down to them - as is responsibility for the outcomes. If you have a better model, please expound on it. Or at least be fair and contrast marriage to other forms, instead of oscillating between making spurious assertions about it and being dismissive of it. carefreewannabe:Keep petting yourself ! As ever you demonstrate the shallowness of your thought process and understanding. Hard time finding a spouse? No CFW, I took a long time to search the matter out. I was diligent and arduous in approach - hence it took time to unearth a diamond.Not hard time finding a spouse, a long time to find one worthy of being called my spouse. Although I'm sure the difference may well be lost on you !And having lots of people interested in "relationships" is not quite the same dear ![]() TV |
Nonso23:Certainly - we won't decide until Tuesday evening for Wednesday. And thanks for your well wishes. Nonso23:There are lots of good people and decent folk on these here boards. Damiso, I know it's short notice, but if you are available, we'd be honoured to have you join us. Nonso23:Best TV |
Carefreewannabe, you are all at sea, no facts or figures, no cogent arguments, no principled positions, no real insights - just a pathological dislike of marriage dressed up as emancipation and enlightened thinking. I respond because you are dangerous not because your posts actually merit it. carefreewannabe:No one asserted to the contrary or disputed this . All I've done is champion marriage "the superior model" !Further, this arose do to your rejecting marriage due to the cost - to which I clearly showed, that administrative costs aside, marriage costs only as much as you want it too. carefreewannabe:And you are in no position to denigrate marriage - or even speak of it with any real authority !carefreewannabe:No one is made to believe anything. Marriage does exactly what it says on the labeling. What individual couples make of their unions rests with them. carefreewannabe:Believe what you please, countless numbers have done it and are doing it. Your lack of belief, conviction or faith in yourself or the calibre of man you can attract is your problem, not a failing of marriage. carefreewannabe:You are in no position to do any kind of telling. You suffice merely to back-bite and gainsay. And the usual poor logic - does lots of choice necessarily mean easy? Or speak to the quality of those choices vis-a-vis what one desires? carefreewannabe:Risible. Trying to be spiritual and pious at the same time - and failing at both. With the best reading, it speaks to your rejection of marriage as due to your personal failings - which I've maintained all along carefreewannabe:Why not campaign for "Relationships" as they are far better - especially for the emancipated and enlightened ![]() TV |
moca:Thanks very much for your kind wishes. And amen to your prayer. I've been here 9 years so far and have no plans to go anywhere. TV |
Nonso23:Cheers, gearing up for the naming on Wednesday. I should invite a Nairalander or 2 !TV |
carefreewannabe:This remains a non-point. Couples are free to have a registry only wedding - or even solemnize it traditionally with scarce all fuss and at minimal cost if they so choose. carefreewannabe:I demur Carefree - it's not the difference between love and infatuation, it's the difference between love and a selfless commitment carefreewannabe:If you think you can, you probably can, and if you believe you can't you probably won't - as we say in the world of coaching. How wonderful to be able to avail oneself of His grace ! Liberals using the pretext of social justice to hide their personal and moral weaknesses !carefreewannabe:That's just it, you don't really respect it, you insidiously deride it - "meaningful to people like me", how haughty. Nope, most Western countries have removed taxed breaks/allowances for married couples. And you still don't get it if you feel that tax breaks really sway those who truly understand marriage - if they levy a tax against it sef, those with understanding will still marry !carefreewannabe:http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2004878/Unmarried-parents-6-times-likely-split-time-child-5.html http://www.melaniephillips.com/this-is-another-blow-to-marriage http://dailysignal.com/2015/02/13/5-facts-cohabitation-may-not-know/ - barely a day old! carefreewannabe:Supposition. Co-habbing is unhealthier by all indications & more pathological in all ramifications; they tend to be more violent, poorer, and even more drugged. The truth is you simply trash marriage because you don't have the wherewithal to face it's responsibilities. I've noticed - and not always commented - on your sly digs. There was a post recently where you claimed the current number of divorces is probably equally to what would have been unhappy marriages in the past. That is outrageous - yet you ask for sources when others make axiomatic claims ![]() carefreewannabe:Utter nonsense - all the studies show that traditional marriage remains by far and away the healthiest relationship type for both women and children - dig out any factual/scientific study to the contrary. Divorce affects adult children as well. Even those long since flown the nest !And the the commitment to stay together means they are less likely to split-up for frivolous reasons. Childbirth actually prompts splitting up amongst many co-habbing couples! carefreewannabe:More falsehood - I've asked you numerous times to expound on the benefits of your "relationship type". And feel free to do so for the "different lifestyles" you harp on about. Your focus is always on your perceived failings of marriage and why you reject it. Don't justify your relationship by deceitfully trashing marriage - sell it on it'sown merits. carefreewannabe:What has that to do with your commitment to keep any vows you make? Or the rising tide of obesity means it's inevitable you turn into a lard-ass ?carefreewannabe:Your promises, your commitment Carefree. With all your freedom, emancipation, education and choice, you are still not self-determinant? O strong woman who does not bend to societies dictates or live for anyone else - can't marry because other people sometimes fail at it? Pathetic! carefreewannabe:Infatuation - Feeling love - commitment to love. I think I missed out solipsism & narcissism !carefreewannabe:Yet you'd marry Emmanuel Neuer at the drop of a hat - what anyone is, is relative, but it seems relative to what you desire, you are truly lacking - find your level !carefreewannabe:Don't feel too bad - you are in good company amongst NL' assorted divorcees, burger-married, willfull single mums, pre-menopausal harridans, damaged goods, serial abuse victims, old cargoes, beta-tied slatterns and past their sell by date singles. Just thought you could do better carefreewannabe:Hardly - I am superbly fit - evidenced here - and we've talked exercise repeatedly prior to those pics. Keep obsessing over photoshopped gay iconography !carefreewannabe:Not true - you are always slyly rubbishing marriage - self-evident by your refusal to acknowledge it is simply the best and most profitable male/female union. To society, the couple, their lineages and any offspring. You don't have to buy into it yourself, and nobody is forced to marry so why the campaign against it ?TV |
carefreewannabe:Who has ever stressed an expensive or celebratory wedding ceremony as fundamental or even essential for marriage? Reject marriage if you choose, but please spare us the abject mewling. carefreewannabe:He'll probably die before you as is often the case , but jokes aside, if you don't know that it's the commitment to love, not a dewy-eyed feeling of being in love, that sustains a marriage. Anyway sha, you are probably saving 2 people a lot of grief by not marrying.carefreewannabe:You are funny-sad in how you look for reasons against. The commitment to serve, love and care for someone makes you take them for granted, but "commitment-free fornication"doesn't. Let me guess; "marriage is just a piece of paper?" Funnily-sad, hilariously-tragic ![]() carefreewannabe:Because the stats showing that less than 1 in 10 married couples are likely to split up (I think by the time the kids reach 5), as opposed to 4 in 10 non-married and 6 in 10 non-cohabiting, clearly show otherwise and don't please you, you'd rather go with what you like too think? You censoriously, almost religiously/legally say "you better stay together", but those who formally take this on themselves of their own volition via marriage, you deride? You are carrying something woman. Let it go, deal with it, then give utterance. This is just carping carefreewannabe:So? Many are deliriously happy - many people probably failed to graduate in your field, did that deter you at all? Or did it make you run around dissuading people from studying it? carefreewannabe:So? As above. All the reasons for this are clear. Simply avoid them. Or with your freedom, choice, education and social justice is that too much of an ask . People with non of those advantages have happy marriages. carefreewannabe:You really don't get it do you? No one "compels" anyone - it's a mutual desire. And when backed by the willingness to commit wholeheartedly. You simply don;t believe you are worthy or will find anyomne that will have that for you so defensively reject it ![]() And you certainly don't sound free - you sound bound by fear, hesitancy, and the inability to give or commit yourself fully. And most of all incapable of putting anyone else needs - including childrens - above your own. At best you sound like you don;t have the wherewithal to get the kind of man you really want - hence your predilection with soft porn . You'll make a great spinster aunt ! carefreewannabe:Actually you have nothing to give a man who understands, is worthy and desirous of marriage. carefreewannabe:Discouraging the faint-hearted or incapable is not necessarily a bad thing. If he is up for it he'll get there with or without your drivel. Angry? No Carefreewannabe, as a marriage advocate and testifier, I'm just plain sad at your utter lack of understanding and your insistence on traducing what you do not know and sound like you can't comprehend in principle or in practice.

Nonso23:Thanks dude. Yes I am really happy appreciate the blessing. I'm not long back from hospital, she's becoming more adorable by the day. Her big brothet has taken to her as well. TV |
Ewuro4:Morning Ewuro, thak you for your kind words and amen to your prayer. Much appreciated. TV |
MarvellousGod:I think it's very possible - could even see it being pretty commonplace in another era. Just two well disposed, sensible and mature people, who are committed, understand it makes sense to make an effort for the long-term good, that there is no point in squabbling and they are simply too well mannered to resort to hostility. You could even have that without a great love, let alone with it. Haven't done a tenth of their time yet, but we've never had an argument. Differences yes - and they always get resolved - fights no. And it's never boring. It's a continual fulfilling of our hopes, expectations and desires. Love you Mama TV **wannaweds, be sure to get great pix, the are always there to remind you of your day and your commitment to one another** |
alutacontinua:Reception interrupted due to a quick dash to A&E - my snogging technique has since improved !TV I know you are too classy to do the dirty on me Aluta ! And up the price dammit, na beanz? ![]()

Timbuktou:I can't tell a lie -I always wanted 2 boys and a girl if we had a third. It was just easier and a better fit. But perhaps I need to learn something here - if not only that I can't always have my way and I don't necessarily know best. Just another challenge to face square on. Timbuktou:Just got back from hospital, she already quite nuzzlable. Mums looks and dads persona type and we good to go! TV |
An0nimus:Thanks very much An0nimus - stay alert !TV *luscious Gambian sun** |
bellong:Honest talk. To me, having all boys would have obviated a lot of problems - not least best use of all the stuff my son has that wasn;t used very much or at all ! I often said whether the second one was a boy or girl, it would be wearing boys clothes till the age of 4 !But it's a challenge and not one I have to face alone. Who really wants to raise an entitlement princess in this day and age? A virtuous woman of deep character and high achievement. Polished and accomplished. And with the dearth of men how to make sure she marries well. And deep down the thought of them falling into predatory hands is there. I can see why men find it hard to let go of their daughters. With sons, you give them the tools and tell them to get on with it. That's a mantra of mine; "men take responsibility", and as soon as they are of age. bellong:In some ways the same as for sons, just different - perhaps more of a sense of vulnerability/fragility? TV |
netotse:I'll get her mum to do it ! After demonstrating correct technique of course.But I hear you. I'll probably be more creative in imposing sanctions - dock her weave allowance or something !TV |
ihedinobi2:I appreciate the warm wishes. Believe God and it will surely come to pass. I am keenly awaiting lots of good news stories from you. For years, it seemed I was just there...and then... TV |
bellong:An all round Amen to that. God probably saw we had a testosterone surfeit in TVsville !TV |
damiso:Amen to your prayers and thank you very much Dami. TV |
chaircover:Cheers CC I remember pretty much everything you've written about your daughter and her dad. I'm warming to it - small, small. She was already looking pweetier when I saw her earlier today. Practicing my stern "no Miss" face .TV |
netotse:Thank you very much. Netotse - I may have to re-jig my regime - if only for a while !TV |
crackhaus:Thank you very much Crackhaus. Here's to increase and blessing all round. TV |
Timbuktou:Cheers dude. Madam is recovering well. I just left hospital to come home for some rest & collect Jr before the night session. He hasn't actually met his sister yet. TV |
pickabeau1:Thanks for your kind wishes Pick. I certainly need to hear more on raising daughters. To be honest, I was pretty certain we were having another boy. Madam sef was looking at me with one kin side eye - I fixed up sha. Never let it show on your face. I was all set to run the same routine as with Lil' man. Fairly strict but leaving him room for negotiation - started caning him at 18 months, then realised he had the jump on me and I was about 6 months too late .But we are really easy, do lots of stuff together, rough and tumble and he's starting to understand boundaries and smartly test limits. I've always maintained I could never smack a girl child - hoping she's has a super cool temprement and it's never an issue - double pray down at the naming next week !So guys, what's the story here? TV |
baby124:It's me 0! That's a "before" picture sef ![]() That's exactly how a born again man looks - such bodies do not come except by "prayer & fasting" ![]() 1 Corinthians 9:27 Like an athlete I punish my body, treating it roughly, training it to do what it should, not what it wants to... alutacontinua:...but better than you're letting on !TV **Oya guests, go and sleep - hopefully you won't have nightmares ** |

I love myself too much to put anyone's needs above my own. That's the secret to my happiness. Even my children's needs will only be put above mine for a limited period of time.
