Can You Marry A Divorced Person by Sisib15: 3:13pm On Nov 06, 2022
Hello nairaland, So i met this man three years ago, we started talking and he told me that he's divorced, at first he doesn't want to disclose it to me that he has married before , i discovered through my search on Facebook and he said his wife packed out of his house and he has tried all means to beg her to come back but she insisted that she's not coming back even her pastor informed him to move on and he has moved on and they were married for 5 years without a child.
Then he asked me out and we started dating in which we have been together for two years now, my problem is what ever i do for this man he never appreciate it, he's always complaining to an extent that i feel that he's still much interested in his previous wife. I started staying in his house because his house is very close to my work place and i started seeing alot of things that i don't like especially he like measuring me up with his wife standard whatever I do to him i don't do it well like i don't know how to dress, i don't know how to eat, i don't know how to cook and he likes judging and always wanting to correct me. I love him so much but i don't know if i can continue with this. If i cook, i don't know how to cook, if people should hurt me outside and i told him he will judge me first before listening, at times he says some demeaning things to me and tell me that he's joking with me. At times, i feel that he's pretending, recently i told him that he needs to see a therapist.
My problem now is that he's asking me for marriage, i don't know if i should accept or i should stop the relationship, i am really confuse!
He's 40 years old and i'm 28 years old.

I see that you have more issues with him than him being divorced so I would advise that you watch and pray before making a decision.

Una no dey talk true when una need advice. Una too dey pretend. See as you pretentiously claim you love him. Nonsense.

He treats you as you say in this post, yet you say you love him.

It is a lie. You don't love him. Love is not what is keeping you in the relationship. There are three things that make women like you claim you love a man who maltreats you.

One, either you are desperate for marriage because of your age or peer pressure.

Two, maybe he is good in bed for you.

Three, maybe he significantly assists in providing your material needs.

How can a woman love the man that compares her to his previous wife, doesn't appreciate her and dislikes her cooking? He is even mean to an extent of saying you don't know how to eat. He does these things when you are yet to marry him. I wonder how he will behave when you officially become his property. grin

Anyways, keep on loving him. Aww! Love in Tokyo. I know the two things he wants from you. But I won't mention them, since you are not sincere to mention what is keeping you in the relationship. The love you mention is not for the man but for one of the three factors I mentioned above.

You shouldn't be with anyone whom you can't please whether divorced or not.

I know someone out there is seeking your attention and love but you are there giving it to someone who's not appreciative because of money.

Why did his ex-wife left her marriage with him?
Is it that you never find out or you just choose to leave that part out?


Please never stay where you are not appreciated, loved and celebrated.... You can manage if it's a workplace especially in Nigeria but please don't try it in marriage. Enough said!

I asked, only for him to tell me that she left because they were not communicating well and three months before she left she was not giving him sex that whenever they fight he not on the generator for her and he won't eat her food that those were the things that he felt that was the major cause and he said he's willing to do better in that part.

You're really indeed confused because, if not, how can you claim to love someone with these heavy and numerous baggages.

Your love is still blind now, if you mistakenly marry him, marriage will open it for you.

Re: Can You Marry A Divorced Person by NemoDatQuod(m): 5:22pm On Nov 06, 2022
If you have been in a relationship with a man or woman for a period of time and you lived together before you went your separate ways, you have been divorced before. The only difference with a formally divorced individual is that the individual did the right thing and got formally married. So the fact that he is divorced is a non starter.

You amaze me. You have a man who has shown you what a wicked, terrible and manipulative man he is and you still are confused. I thought you came on here to tell us how you left his arse and are thankful to God for making the man show you his real self.

Hmm! Continue with your confusion. I don't give advise in circumstances that do not need advising. If you are interested in loving yourself and living a happy successful life, you already know that you should have run far away from that guy by now. It is much more better to live this life as a single person than to hand yourself over to significant unhappiness that will cause you serious pain everyday and may even cost you your life. And at the end of the day, you also will become formally divorced, single and back to where you started, in addition to the pain and hurt.

Write down the things you require from the man you will marry and stick by them. The guy you marry becomes your boss. Find yourself the right boss. At work , we do not have control over who becomes our boss. But at home, we do.

If even with all you have listed above, you can't see that you ought to be running away from him like his ex did, then you are the one who really needs to get professional mental help fast before it is too late. undecided

I don't see anything wrong with getting married to a divorcee, but it seems like you guys are not compatible.

If he was content with you, he wouldn't be complaining about all these things.. And if you're gonna decide to keep a blind eye and go ahead and agree to be his wife, go ahead, but don't come here disturbing nairalanders with your complaints about him or disturbing the people around you.

You can't appreciate some one who doesn't appreciate people's efforts

In other words, an ingrate is an ingrate

If you are enjoying the relationship and you can tolerate insults from him, then be ready to carry teary etestall through your marriage with him

If you want absolute peace of mind, look for a man that loves you to the moon and back not some one you loves dearly and doesn't place you properly

How are you even sure when the first wife comes back, you will become the second wife by default

This is why courtship is good before marriage, so make your decision. If you're a religious person, I will also advise that you pray about it.

If the guy and his wife had differences that lead to divorce, especially where he did the leaving, then you can start listening to his side to judge for yourself. In this case, the guy is the nut case that hasn't learnt a thing from his past experience. You sef no wise to be asking silly questions grin

You will hold onto this divorced man who is emotionally abusing you, you will hold onto him for years and miss a better marital partner. Already you have wasted two years with him, keep counting. If you like marry him, deep in your heart you know he will give you nothing but misery in marriage, unless you are going for his money/babies anyway.

Don't you think its that same RED FLAG the wife saw and left him?

Have you ever wondered why his ex wife left? The answer is in your post. I still don't understand why people see red flags and say they're inlove. That man will drain you..what you're seeing is just an intro of what is waiting for you in the marriage, but the small change he is giving you plus the fact you've had sex with him several times has left you chained to him all in the name of love.
