It's not worth it,if he's stealing you can never tell what else he's doing. I mean stealing is stealing and people are bound to get hurt no matter how nice he tries to make it seem.

This is still amazing! I love and adore my parents and also respect them but I still believe you can marry who it is you want to. Some people seem to be tied to their parents in some strange way I cannot fathom. Your parents views are quite important but we also need to understand as Napoleon Bonaparte said, The best person to do anything for you is you. You as an individual need to make that decision,you know what is best for you not your parents. Because your parents think something is good for you does not always mean it is.

I think people who do this may just be afraid of facing the consequences of their in the event things go wrong. They're afraid of hearing I told you so from their parents lips. One of the great tests of being an adult is being able to face the consequences of ones actions. You only live once,make it a good life for yourself. You don't want to be old and grey thinking about what you should have done,but what you have done.

I can't blive all the absolute nonsense I'v heard.Some grown up people will actually allow their parents emotionally blackmail them out of marrying who they want? Wherever you are you need to grow up and grow up fast. I understand that valuing your parents views about things are important,and all that stuff about honouring your parents in the Bible, but your parents have lived their lives and now it's time for you to live yours.Parents,due to no fault of theirs try to pick out what they think is the best for you; their choices are not always the best unfortunately. How many of us picked a subject in school our parents thought was not for us? How many of us went ahead and bought that car or applied for that job?

To my people that say we are nigerians we need our parents blessing,don't white,hispanic or asian people marry? Even without their parents too!The only reason people back down is cos of hearsay from individuals that think about their parents comments every time they have a little quarrel,and they think their parents are the encyclopedia of marriage.If african women weren't so quick to run to their mothers if your husband comes in late and you husbands if your wife can't cook you decide to go to your mum /dad(instead of being romantic and showing her lovingly how to cook), our parents won't have a cause to say i told you so.Please spare me the drama,you better marry who you want.

There's nothin wrong with parents calling each other by first or pet names. You might this is weird but in my family,we all call each other nicknames to our faces. For example, i call my father Prince Charming or Teddy bear,and he calls me Little cos i'm short and the youngest in the family. I don't support the first name basis thing btwn parents and kids but sometimes a persons nickname could say it all. When I call my dad teddy bear,he already knows i need a hug from him or smn. Mind you,he was brought up in Nigeria,same with my mum who I call Pretty girl.

I'm sure it's not too hard to guess which route my kids'll be taking,

Not yet ralvy,it's just that i'v got loads of friends who say stuff to me like, "If he wasn't there,I don't know what I would've done". It's something to be proud of knowing that she has your respect too,not just the love

About being there with your wife/partner,it helps her feel safe knowing that your there,whether we admit it or not. Your being there gives us a sense of security you can't imagine.Why do you think a woman jumps behind her man when she's scared? It's cos she trusts you to help her. Brothers, that woman is not trying to be a pain in the neck(even if she screams) blive me on that one. so pls try to be more helpful .
