How May I Earn Back The Respect? Advice Needed by akpos4uall(m): 9:52am On Jan 09, 2015
Please bear with me if this is too long. I have no choice but to give as much details as possible.
I'm in my late 20's but I've never been in a relationship. I just got a job as a teacher in a newly opened primary school september last year. I used to share my views with fellow staff about me not accepting that the bible is infallible & I don't need a woman in my life. Along the line, I was beginning to like the attitude of this lady towards. While I'm alone at work, she'll come to me to share her life story with me & I'll return the favor but I didn't want to take it further because the first day I met her, she introduced a young man to my proprietor right in front of me as her husband(I found out later that they've been in a relationship for 2years).


She changed her attitude towards me after an encounter with her. On a certain saturday, I was on my way in town when she saw me from afar and started hailing/greeting me but I ignored her. She even wanted to cross to the other side of the road to get to me but she turned back when she noticed my reaction. Before this encounter, she had asked me questions in school such as: why is it that I hardly make or receive calls from friends & am I sure this phone of mine belongs to me because I have more pics of my siblings than mine on it. By wednesday the following week, I apologized to her, telling her that I'm trying to change because of her. There she made me realized that I had done something similar to her before. Actually I have treated the few other ladies that have attempted getting close to me all my life in a similar way. I didn't really value greetings from ladies till then.


There and then she told me more bitter truth about how I'm living my life. According to her, people have been asking her if I'm sick/normal. It seems it is only there in the school that I associate with others. Once we've closed, I lock myself up at home. I don't interact with anyone, its just me & my phone. In short, what is it that I'm always doing with my phone. How will I say that I don't need a woman? Am I an homo or what?


These were really touching words. I really wanted to change. I used to stay online till as late as 2, 3 or even 4am but now I go to bed as early as 9pm. As a result of this, I end up waking up as early as 1am but can't go back to bed. Few weeks later, she too was beginning to act like before. I asked for her contact but she refused. I worsened everything the day I told her that I was beginning to have sleepless nights because of her in front of a fellow staff(her closest among us) & I will like to spend the rest of my life with her.


Now I've lost the respect she had for me. She no longer wants to have anything to do with me. Whatever move I make, she counters with the line "don't come near me, I already have a man."
Although I'm ready to let go of her, I just can't bear it seeing her everyday at work, acting like someone keeping malice with me. I no longer have the confidence to speak to her. What may I do to earn the respect as a fellow staff.

Just move on......since she already have a man in her life, let her be.
There are plenty of fishes in the river.

Why can't you ask her, if you had done anything to her, that will make her snubs you.
If after that, she continues to behave same way, I will advice you to snub her too....
Women hate to be snubbed, with time, she will be the one Coming to start a conversation with you.

You are not getting any younger, I will tell to find someone that will be compatible and understand you.

Re: How May I Earn Back The Respect? Advice Needed by theorbiters: 12:52pm On Jan 09, 2015
Op, what I think you shud do is this, one day, meet up with her, *don't act weird* tell her 'water under the bridge' forget everything I have told you, pretend like it never happened. Then take a walk from her and don't ever expect anything from her. See the problem is that, she knws you wud do anything to get her attention, so therefore she will torment you. Best game plan is to act like you dnt even knw her. In fact, totally treat her like she doesn't exist and may God help you
Re: How May I Earn Back The Respect? Advice Needed by Nobody: 1:48pm On Jan 09, 2015
I think you should let her know you didn't mean to offend her when you said those stuff that even though you like her you respect that she has a man but you are a guy and you had to try if you could win her. Maybe you also let her know you would like a cordial working relationship with her as in no more malice.

Re: How May I Earn Back The Respect? Advice Needed by Afrok(m): 8:59pm On Jan 09, 2015
Seriously, everything the lady did and said was to change some part of U that seemed weird, the only way U can gain your respect back is trying to be cool with urself, act normal in her presence and absence, be friendly with people, be calm and approachable.

In fact just look at the bright side that u've met someone who told U the bitter truth about U and ur relationship with others, it's possible that's all she's got to offer in ur life and she has done dt, what's left for U is to better urself and let her realize that if not for someone like her, you couldn't have been a different person.

She might not spend the rest of her life with U but she has actually changed something in U that might remain there for the rest of ur life. It takes guts for a lady to be close to U that much and tell U the bitter truth, never treat her badly or ignore her coz she deserves time and patience from U the way she had patience with ur attitudes.

All the very best.
