| My Mum Won't Approve My Marriage by pinkybeny(f): 9:56am On Sep 24, 2015 |
Please I need advice on this issue it's really getting me off balance......... My mum disapproved of my marriage because the guy in question is from Edo not an Igbo guy it hurts my to have to take a decision and my mum isn't happy with it but I love dis guy and he truly loves me too,he's being trying to please her but it's not working out I won't forget to say that have had my first daughter for this same guy I know someway somehow i shouldn't v been careless enough to allow a baby before marriage but I wouldn't have aborted it either she would be two in some months and she's Neva been to her paternal grand parent they v also tried to plead with her on this issues she still wouldn't approve...my dads in support bt the fact that I grew up wit my mum made it more difficult to take decisions wit my dad,my brothers are like whatever I want as long as am sure I would be fine with him.what hurts the most is that I can't even take my baby out at my wish,I think am trying really hard not to displease my mum but as it is now am at a cross road and need to face reality I have beg people to talk to her but nothing seems positive,v pleaded it's not working.I am a lady close to mid 20 and will be done schooling dis December.please I need sincere advice...............I forgot this guy is working and capable to care for us,His even willing to take responsibilities even when we are still under her roof but it's a NO NO from her |

I wouldn't be surprised if your mum has some hidden 'history' with your fiance  .... Shitt like that does happen attimes Anyway Please go ahead and marry him if you think he is best for you... After all your dad is in your support and your mum's excuse for disapproval is very flimsy... Shey Edo man no be human being?  YOUR MUM'S APPROVAL IS DESIRABLE BUT NOT INDISPENSABLE. ... IT IS TO BE GOTTEN MORE OUT OF RESPECT THAN NECESSITY 1 Like |

... Still try and persuade her. She is ya mum and I'm sure she wants the best for you. And if she is still not in support then forget it and concentrate on building a perfect marriage with your guy. Parents should also respect their children's choice in some cases. At least you have your father's and siblings support Follow the way that your heart leads you 1 Like |

Do what she asks you to. Shes your mother; if you disobey her, you'll most likely regret it. |

If you live your life pleasing anyone but yourself you will be miserable for the rest of your life. Do what you feel is right to you and accept that decision with no regrets. Good luck. 1 Like |

Op, you're not living your life for your mum neither are you marrying because of her. Many what would've been good marriages and happy homes were shattered because of parental interferences, especially the mothers. Just take your boo and head to the registry for court wedding. Inform her of the court wedding...nothing she can do about it. Live your life and have a happy marital home. More so, its your dad that will give your hands out in marriage...not your mum. If your father is in support of the marriage then the better. Just get married in your father's house and live a happy life  1 Like |

All I can say is, put your big girl panties on & grow a spine. With all due respect, she sounds like a suffocating, dominating helicopter parent that's hovering all over your business like you're a little girl still. Come on. You can't even take out your own baby! That's too much. Get off the bosom & cut the apron strings before she runs your life for you on a permanent basis. Otherwise you're going to end up an old maid, stuck at home with her for the rest of your life because very few men will tolerate a woman that's weak (under her mother's thumb). Sorry to be so blunt but her interferring in your private life to this extent is inappropriate, especially at your age. It's like she's the boss of you  Grow up!3 Likes |

lagmostkuit:You can imagine. A broken home should be avoided as much as possible..yet her mum is encouraging a broken home. She should disregard her mum and marry her baby daddy and live a happy marital life with peace of mind. Smh for some ignorant mothers 1 Like |

The notion that your parents want the best for you does not mean they cant mislead you At a point in your life, you have to disobey either of your parents just to make a lifetime choice In as much as you want to live your life pleasing your mom, then you will end up living your life in misery At this point a little violence should be employed since all effort to make her understand your decision proved irrelevant 1 Like |

As soon as u are done with it studies the in another pregnancy for the guy. By the time ur kids are up to three for the same guy, you will not need to persuade ur mum to approve your marriage to the man u love . I wonder why some parents will not allow their children to make their choice when it comes to marriage. 1 Like |

braine:and get into another marriage I won't be happy with the rest of my life? Which regret is more |
| Re: My Mum Won't Approve My Marriage by Burger01(m): 10:38am On Sep 24, 2015 |
lagmostkuit:To heck with tribes. Who cares? Are igbos not human? Btw, if that's the case then her mother should return the grand daughter to the paternal family for proper care. She doesn't want her to marry the Igbo guy and yet she hold on to the guy's daughter. Smh. My advice for the op would be to marry the guy in the registry, take her child away from her mother and start living with her husband and child under one roof. Broken home is not good and should be avoided as much as possible. It's well 1 Like |

Burger01: Has it ever occurred to you that what may make you happy may not be good for you? Its like a drug addict; he feels the drugs makes him happy, but we all know its bad for him. Besides, talking about not listening to mothers, I've been there. Wanted something, she said no but I did it anyway. Now I regret doing it and wish I had listened. |

pinkybeny:I wonder. |
| Re: My Mum Won't Approve My Marriage by Nobody: 10:41am On Sep 24, 2015 |
Burger01: Lol, the guy is from Edo. Even I got that. I'm guessing the family are Igbos. But anyway I concur. |

Burger01: You see, in a normal circumstance such as this, you'd expect that the parents would expressly give away their daughters to their baby daddies. This is the main reason why I feel the mum must have seen something and I don't think it should be ignored. |

lagmostkuit:The thing dey pain me. How some parents mislead their children and start living in regrets afterwards. I will share a personal story with you. A very sad one. My first cousin got pregnant for a guy when I was so young and just about ending my primary school. Then she was in class 5 of those good days. She got pregnant, her mother disapprove and rained curses on the guy for getting my cousin pregnant and rejected outrightly of their desire to marry. Long story short, my cousin aborted the pregnancy after too much pressure from her mother to do so. Fast forward to this very moment, my cousin is yet to conceive and now about 49 years old. She is still single and living alone. She regrets terminating her pregnancy and regretted listening to her mother. Now, who bears the brunts the most That's a destiny derailed. May God never derail our destinies. I feel so sad for my cousin..so sad. A very nice woman1 Like |
