My Parents And Other Relatives Are Making Me Go Crazy by Ideservebetter(f): 8:26pm On Feb 09, 2023 |
I understand that most parents want the best for their children but at the same time, they should understand certain things that are beyond one's control. My parents, relatives even family friends won't stop troubling me about marriage. I can't have healthy conversations with my people without them bringing up the marriage topic and worse off in a controversial manner. They always accuse me of being too selective and other talks like that, making me feel awful. I desire to get married someday even though I don't see it as a "do or die" thing. I've been in relationships that didn't work out and I'm being blamed for it or asked why I didn't just manage. My God! I've been thinking of how to get away from all these talk, maybe leaving home or changing my line. I really don't know what to do. I'm someone people know as happy and bubbly outside but when I'm with my people, it's the complete opposite, minimal joy because they won't stop stressing me. For now, I've stopped attending family events since they'll be gathered there and I don't want anyone messing with my mental health. I'm fed up, I need advice from matured minds please. ![]() 54 Likes 3 Shares |

you better explain to them that you don't want to rush into marriage. let them know that yes, you are selective but that's because you don't want to make a mistake 58 Likes 2 Shares |

The problem is this Z-generation of girls... Infact, I've been facing challenges finding a suitable wife....And I don't mind snatching any good girl from any unserious boyfriend like this... About your family pressure, you give them the chance to talk down on you and you smile it out. The moment you sound strong and have someone as a scapegoat, the rest will avoid talking down on you. Probably, you're too soft and you give chances for people to ride on you easily... 72 Likes 6 Shares |

Kpele, my own sef worse. I introduced someone to my family around May, last year but I later noticed something I didn't like and would not be able to live with, so the relationship ended.. I didn't bother telling them about it because explaining some kind of things gets me annoyed. Since then, they've not stopped asking about him. Just this evening, I was with my aunt on the phone. The call was already over 45mins, the moment she said "wey Raymond nar", I just told her good night and she started laughing.. In my opinion, I think you should minimize the rate at which you give them audience.. 66 Likes 1 Share |

This is a very common practice in most Nigerian homes. Some parents (most especially mother's) get worried once their daughter starts clocking 25 and above and isn't showing any sign of settling down anytime soon. In as much as their nagging might be annoying and embarrassing, you must understand that it's bore out of geninue care about your well-being. For starters, I'll recommend you sit your dad and mom down and have a heart-to-heart conversation with them. Tell them what their constant nagging is doing to your mental health and threaten to commit suicide if they don't let you be. You should work on yourself as well. During my university days my ICH lecturer would say "if 5 people tells you that you're drunk, even if you've never tasted alcohol before, check yourself something is wrong with you" If you've had above 3 serious relationships in the past, and none worked out, I'll recommend you take a break a reflect inwardly, ask yourself certain questions like where am I getting it wrong, should I be more patient, do I overreact to irrelevant issues, am I trustworthy, am I honest, do I talk too much...etc. If you can truthfully do an honest assessment on yourself this way, and change or adjust where necessary, I believe that your next relationship would be great. 72 Likes 3 Shares |

Autobot05:Oga hold on. Some are born Eunuchs, Some are made Eunuchs, Some made themselves Eunuchs. Whatever she wants to become, she decides. Going by what she's written about herself from the intro, I believe at this point she's chosen what to become - a wife, mother or just being a daughter, aunt or sister. She may end up changing her mind aftr meeting a mate she's chosen, seen, thought of.. and kukuma make plans for next yr. @OP, You may even wanna ignore until you've fully discovered yourself cos many r into their husband's home without knowing what dey evn want in marriage. Sit, dey sit Stand, dey stand. But once Sexy Mummy Twins give advice, she change immediately. Oga start seeing her real face (the female code) So, madam notYetSearching go in peace Have fun n seek the almighty's favor in your delight (No go kneeling before one greedy n selfish Daddy/Mummy G.O oooo) Talk to your father in the heavens above and he'd grant you your heart desires according to his will. Faith without work is useless So pray n wrk twrds what God wants for you The pressure is now increasing cos it's the custom. So @OP, you only need to be clear bout your choice n be open minded with whomever you're discussing with at this point. #StaySafe 5 Likes 1 Share |
