You guys should ease up on nemesis. It is not that serious. Questioning her suitability as a wife now? C'mon.

@ nemesis e don do. We know you know him. He'll probably not be frank here anymore as per everyone in church will now be updated by you!

I did and I will do it again.

Here's to all the women on this thread that have always got my back. cool

@nemesis. I guess I can understand some of your comments, but I do believe that I deserve some measure of anonymity. Not that I have any secrets of any kind, but the anonymous nature of NL makes it easier for a lot of people to express what they really feel without any repercussions to his/her person. I enjoy being on this thread, but you make it difficult for me to contribute since I always have it at the back of my mind that someone else isn't playing on the same team. One thing I'm happy about is that I've been honest about everything I put in here. I get the strange feeling that if it were a pack of lies, I'm of the opinion that you would have spilled the beans by now. So, in a very ironic way, you gave me some legitimacy. However, I want my anonymity back. The freedom to contribute anything I want, without me thinking that everything I say here is being debated by a whole bunch of people who know me. One more thing, please stop saying how much you know me. It's beginning to get on people's nerves smiley

Well, kids are back in school and so am I. It's back to all work and no play makes serubawon very miserable. At least I have this thread to fall back on when I get stressed out because I have to admit, you guys put me in stitches sometimes when I read the posts. Thank you for making the thread what it has become. The search goes on for Mrs. serubawon (hopefully sooner than later). I guess when it happens, I'll have to extend an invitation to everyone. Now that would be a blast (to actually see the people behind the posts) wink.

See CC spoiling my plans. You want to pour sand sand inside my garri abi?  angry. Serubobo don't mind her. I kept my virginity for the first guy that will buy me a RR sports. You are the lucky one cool grin

CC, e don do for you diaaaaaa. Be kiaful yourself angry I was speaking to Mr kadry recently after massaging his bald vaseline soaked head like you suggested. He told me that, If I am nice to him, he'd think about it, Like say I have been the worse wife on this planet earth. The dude has practically turned me to his housegirl embarassed , all the things he dared not ask me to do for him before, are what he tells me to do now. cry.

Just 2 days ago, I was ironing one of his shirts, this dude came up behind me and started telling and showing me how to iron the shirt. This is a guy whose shirts I have been ironing for years now , no complaint. I told him after a few minutes that if he does not get off my back now, I will design his face with the hot iron. He started laughing and told me that I have lost 2 points already. cry cry cry sad

And BTW CC can you clarify please? what kind of position did you get into? cool

Re: Adjusting To Life As A Widower by Nobody: 1:08pm On Aug 28, 2011

Hello all! Again, how did I miss all of this? Anyway, I've been away from nairaland and have been focused on my career and other things I put on hold while caring for my ill grandparents. I can't believe it's been a year since my grandfather passed away. My dear uncle who lost his wife has met someone. He still cries daily over his wife and I don't think he's ready to date, but I've never suffered such a loss so I can't judge his choices. @serubawon: I'm very sorry for your loss. If you were at the point of marriage this breakup had to be devastating. Don't lose your hope. God is love and I believe He made us to reflect His love in the earth and to mirror the love of Christ for his church in marriage. Your bride is still in the dressing room being adorned for you, her husband. She will be worth the wait and all tears, pain and hurt you suffered through the waiting will be turned to joy. It is God's will that you not be alone and that you enjoy comfort from love while you are in the land of the living. I am still getting dressed for my husband, whoever he may be. I continue to wish and pray God's best for you and your family.

My life update: I'm still looking for more meaningful work. I'm very active in grief counseling, emotional counseling and literacy programs. God may lead me to a new field but in the meantime I'm still in the legal field, albeit a brand new area for me. It's nice. I'm loving my new church and I'm very active there. Things are good for me.

Thanks my brother.  I won't lie to you, I might not be the richest or biggest father in the world, but I am definitely the best father a person can ever be and I continue to strive to become better all the time.   People quantify their value by the material possessions that they have.  I quantify my value by how happy and successful my kids are and will be.  It might sound silly or dumb, but I have the feeling that I preserve their mom's memory the best by making sure that with God's help and favor, they turn out the best.  Don't get me wrong, there are days when I don't have the faintest idea what to do next and I'm so depressed by stuff that life just becomes a big pain in my side.  My kids have this way of knowing when I'm down and they both try to make me laugh and it's so crazy that i can't help laughing with them and things start to look better.  At that point I can start visualizing  a wonderful future where I can look back down memory lane and just be in awe of God's faithfulness and love for His children.

I'm confident that this story will be a success story, someday soon.

Also, please don't become infected by these women and their "seeing things".  I think it's a "woman thing".  I dey God's hands kampe.
