Should I End The The Relationship? by Billiondoe: 8:33am On Oct 27, 2016
What are the characteristics of a good marriage, am 25 and single and staying in a relationship is like world war 2... seems like love is not all it takes... am in a relationship with a 27yr old man and we r In love and we are both university graduates but I dont think we can make it to the alter cos it's a different drama everyday, never caught him cheating and he respects me but his family controls a better part of him and he isn't ready for marriage anytime soon and I have this ex who is very willing all I have to do is tell him am ready and am no longer in a relationship, he is rich and has different cars and houses but am not so into him but he loves me for sure....

u're in love with ur present guy buh you are desperate to get married.
he doesn't cheat n he respects u, good to hear. Stick with him Gurl. when he's ready, sooner or later, he would propose.
I guess d drama is cos his folks control him, when u both are married, I don't think they wil control him again.

don't think of going back to ur ex cos it's obvious ur not in love with him but his Money.

You have answered your questions yourself.
Why will you even want to marry a man that you always have issues with instead of one who truly lobes you and is ready to marry?
I tire for you. And the first guy sef doesn't have a mind of his own, his family still controls him.
I wonder of you created this thread to seek attention.

A non cheating bobo that respects you but controlled by his folks and also very dramatic but isn't ready for marriage.

An Ex who is an ex for a reason but is ready for marriage with plenty cars and houses.

I wonder too
Go for the other guy.. At least he does not have drama like your guy. And the other guy has a mind of his own.
I detest drama than anything else..
With time, u will get to love the other guy..

All we need is peace , love and security from our husbands to be..
Every other thing is secondary..

I have some fri3nds who marr3id ugly men as husbands.. The men are very financially OK and they tell. Me everytime their husbands cares for them like crazy while they use him to. Make shakara because they are fine.. Lol..
Well am not in that school. Of thought cheesy

But, if we have them both placed on a measuring scale, the chances of her marriage to the rich guy – who likes her but whom she does not like very much – making it unscathed through the vicissitudes of marital life, pales in comparison to the chances of the success of her marriage to the one wherein a symmetrical love-liking exists, even though the relationship as she said, is fraught with quarrels and disagreements — which I think is a normality and nothing out-of-synchro. I mean, who wants to be in a relationship where everything is always peaceful and as boring as a nondescript Swiss village? A little disagreement every now and then pumps in litres of excitement into a relationship.

[...]

She is only 25 and the guy is only 27. I do not see why there is the rush to get a rock on her finger, except it's a personal touchstone she set for herself, but I highly doubt it. I think she is being shoehorned by family or she feels left behind because her friends have long embarked on the marital voyage.

She says the guy she likes-loves is hooked to the strings of his family's aprons, but if we have this cast upon the screen of investigation, we would discover that she is also being pressurized into marriage by her family, and is only pandering to their wishes in her hankerings for a man – any man at all – to lead her down the aisle. In other words, she is also being controlled by her family members in a way, and already entering, or rather, about to enter into the marriage institution for the "wrongest" reasons.

I believe the story is laced with mistruths or is a total hoax.
How many Naija babes would come online to ask you whether or not to marry a rich guy with different houses and cars, or whether she should stick with a not-too-financially-bouyant guy who has shown no inkling of his interest in getting married to her in the foreseeable future? Now that's a curious thought bubble we should mull over.

Money is necessary in everything in life, maybe even more in marriage. But when we constantly draw the bead on it, especially in matters bordering on relationships, we should do well to remember that though it [Money] is necessary to make the centre hold, it has no ontological reality and is as transient as the anger of God.

So long as he has enough to cater for food, shelter, clothing, and other things incidental to a comfortable and healthy living, then she should be contented because he has attained the pass mark and is fit to be called a man.
If she wants anything beyond that then that is what we Yorubas would call Oloju kokoro.

...

There is nothing stopping her from getting married to him with the purpose of lending him a helping hand in accruing wealth in order to cater for the extras.

Even a small two-bedroom flat was not built in a day, talk less of Rome.

You will lose both.


Don't be f00led. The same manner at which you made your ex an option, is the same manner at which he wants you back for frivolous reasons. He has a list of at least 10 marriageable women. Be rest assured you occupy the 10th position on his list.


Real men do not call back their exes for marriage. Whenever your ex calls or invites you, visit and be prepared for se.x.

[b]Is an Ex not supposed to be in the dustbin of History? why are you still keeping a tab on him? He loves and worship the ground you trample on,has money and house and all that, why did you kick his butts....

Seriously you need a time out for 2-3months to think about what you wanted so that you will not make a big mistake..I see marriage as a long term commitment and not something you can jump in and jump out .....within those months, u will decide if

<<<Your present boy friend was the one, If you can put up with him and his family and his mood swing.....
<<< if your Ex was the one, if you can stay in a loveless relationship or grow to love him back..But I know ex should belong to history
<<<Finally if you can wait a little while for a prince charming to come and swept you off your feet....Keeping in mind that marriage is not the answer to every thing in the world

Oh by the way, dating and marriage are different things all together..I am glad you are getting a little picture of how marriage looks like. couples do argue in Marriage.... alot......It is different from soap-opera drama... ..The guy was not hiding anything from you by giving u the true pic while u guys were dating..... You guys will annoy each other, have a shouting match and at the end of the day u settle.....It's not always lovey dovey ...[/b].

abeg calm down, madam long-throat.

first, free that 27 year old bobo cos nothing he does for you is enough as long as the thought of your ex bank account gives you orgasms.

besides, what have you done with your life so far since you graduated?
Do you have a career?
Do you have goals and plans?

marriage is not an achievement.
