MissOffpoint:


I don't like anything public. Hopefully, my future husband will not have a big family like op's.

Hopefully

ginaolo:
Bros she can’t even meet my family or friends, she will start misbehaving and panicking as if somebody wants to kill her. This is not normal na and I’ve tried to be patient with her, but her shyness is taking over her. I want someone who will represent me well and someone who will be a good mother to my kids.

bobrisky is better fit for you


just go talk to him/her

I think I have the same temprament INTF but I have always liked girls that are totally opposite to me.. Kind of works if both parties understand their strenghts.
I rarely talk with people even my close family but she knows everyone and keeps contact on my behalf.
On the other hand I always seem to have a solution to most of our problems and plan ahead. But we still have issues.. I rarely share my thoughts while she is always worried about what others think of her

GrossPrice:
Your the problem at this point and not your future bride.

As men we must not forget our duties are not only to provide financially, but as men and leaders we must constantly remind ourselves that our wives or wives-to-be need other things from men apart from money and the occasional "I love you's" plus the activities that come with it.

Emotional security, Stability, Congruence and Support (not financial) are important virtues. As men it is in our benefit that we nurture or at least attempt to attain all or many of these virtues.

If a child is scared of the dark, and still must pass through a dark room or corner to reach a destination; how would you encourage this child to do so?
If a woman you love, has mediocre culinary skills, how do you ensure the woman you love develops exceptional culinary skills?

Men should not recoil at a challenge because it has to many sharp bends, or because it seems like an insurmountable hurdle. For, is it not through our dogged determination we went from walking to flying, from huts to skyscrapers and from the cold hands of death to chloroquine.

I dare not say women have achieved nothing, because they have. However, I am talking to you - man to man, as such I must speak as a man!

When you go to family events do you stay close to her and hold her hands as you speak to people. You know when she is accustomed to your family members her phobia will subside.

And, when you go out with friends, do your friends come along with their wives or wives-to-be; if they do, why don't you find a way to get her well acquainted with these ladies?

You cannot plant corn and yet hope to harvest wheat. If you want corn, you plant corn, and if you want a more social wife you must plant that seed and nurture it until it grows. Whatever you desire in your soul, being or spirit (in the spiritual), you must use your hands to work for ; before it manifests in the physical.

I liked it once... Wish to like it again!

Come, who are you? Your writing skills are topnotch and I say that as one who boasts of some badass skills.

Please be my tutor for a month, shall you?

@Topic... Such a woman is the kind of partner I want. With a little tweaking, she'd definitely become close to perfect.

If you can't put up, simply leave her be for such men that would appreciate her other virtues and work on this lacking one.

Hmmn.
She should let go of her comfort zones..

That is the only way she will get better as a person and as your future partner!!!!

She is playing it safe in this relationship.. .

When are you guys getting married??

baby124:

She has ISSUES! This is not shyness. A shy person will go to the event and may not mingle as much. This one behaves like she has a mental disorder. This is extreme my dear. Don’t mistake mental disorders for shyness. Shy people go out and function in the world. They work, they attend events. This one that can not be around people, Is who you want him to marry. If he was your brother trying to marry a girl that is running from all of you like she has something to hide, will you not be concerned?

She obviously has a lot to hide. She’s not a child she’s 24! She by now should have seen enough of life to know how to handle herself in a social setting. She is even Nigerian and Nigerians are very social people, that if you are shy you would have known how to blend by 24.

It’s Either that she has something to hide, she has mental issues or this is the tone she wants to set before marriage and will give him trouble for attending these functions after marriage.

She is playing It safe in that relationship... Until Op put the ring on it

I just feel like you are talking about me.

It is not the matter of being around friends and family, she could be with them and not be able to have a meaningful conversation, 4mins into a duscussion she is out of gas not knowing what to say. It is beyond telling her to change it is about helping her to change if u truly lover her!

Go and look For a Girl that is social seems like that is what you want...
and Finally let me help you marry her i like her type

ginaolo:
I met her randomly on the road it wasn’t in a social setting. But how do I deal with her not wanting to meet family and friends? It’s disrespectful to me. As a wife you have to be open to meet my family atleast, when they are always asking about her, I can’t keep on making excuses for her na. People think there’s something wrong with my gf even though I’ve told them she is the shy type.

Your wife attitude is exactly like mine. I hardly go out meeting people and my families inclusive. Some people are like that and you just have to accept that fact or let her go. Many people see us as proud or something else but we are what we are.


BTW, I am a man

I always have cold feet going out too but it depends on the kind of person I am going out with. If he/she is the type that will carry me along in their conversation, I don't normally have a problem tagging along.

So maybe you should make her feel more comfortable by being by her side, holding her hands,etc meeting friends and family. One good outing will make the next easy. Do not leave her to mingle with them all alone.

olabrinks:
I think a lot of people are dealing with what the ops gf has, and this thread has given them hope. Makes them feel they are not alone. If you are extremely introverted and reserved please understand there is nothing wrong with you. Some people may not understand you, we live in a very extroverted world, but you will definitely find a few that will love and accept you for who you are. We don’t judge those who are always going out, socialising with many friends, yet we judge those who find solace in their own company. Find a little bit of balance but do not over work yourself trying to be someone you’re not. Good luck to all my wonderful introverts.

OP visit the Introvert Lounge thread in Family section. Maybe you will be able to understand your fiancee more and know how to help when needed.

Hi

I’ve been with a lady for some time now but I’m starting to have doubts about this girl.

My main concern is that she is too reserved and she doesn’t like to do anything that involves people. I come from a big family unit and she’s always avoiding family get togethers, outings, even to meet my friends and socialise with them is a huge problem. We’ve gone out very few times, she’s met my mum and a few friends, but she avoids meeting them most time. I addressed it to her and she claims she has social anxiety but for how long can I continue like this? All she wants to do is be at home. My family are already starting to get the wrong impression of her and they believe she is proud. I know my older sister is not too fond of her because of her quiet nature and I think this will take a toll on us in the future if we get married. I don’t want a wife that cannot do basic things like go out with me to events or represent me well. I don’t want a wife that will be hiding in the house 24/7.

Another thing is that she has some stubborn traits in her. She’s a lovely woman, she’s very kind, compassionate and she motivates me a lot. When she’s around me alone she’s very cool, but when it comes to going out and doing things, she starts acting up. I cannot deal with her shy nature as it’s too much and it’s becoming embarrassing. She’s 24. What do I do please?

Nah the kind wife I want, no need of socializing with fake people up and down.

If she s not your kind of woman simply free her and go and look for your kind of woman and stop disturbing our peace. Must you guys bring up some senseless home issues to the public? It's simply, she s not the type that likes to socialize then free her and look for a gbaza Queen.

The way u people bring ur issues to social media is disgusting.

Dande55:
Your fiancèe is exactly my type maybe, a little worse.

I don't even know how I'm gonna meet my husby family if I get married.

I dont like crowd, and i dont like meeting people.

You should try as much as possible to draw her closer to you and don't let what others say about her affect your marriage.

She's the kinda woman most men want to have as a wife.

hello Queen

My brother, it's best you back put as early as possible in order to avoid hurting this good soul when you eventually marry her. Allow her to go get MEN that are searching for her type.

Are you sure you are ready for marriage?...cos all you wrote are inconsequential.

ginaolo:
I’m being patient but until you are in my shoes you won’t understand. You don’t know the feeling of going to a place where everybody is with their gf and wives and I have to go alone because she wants to stay at home. People are constantly asking you where your gf is, and you have to make excuses all the time. It’s not fair, it’s weighing me down.

Then, leave her the fûck alone and go date a social butterfly who will attend every event and parties including the ones she is not invited to.

There's always a sanguine in every conservative person. I was once like that, make her get out of her shell. Make her confident of herself. Assure her and always be by her when with your family. She might be in doubt of how to behave or whether she's doing whatever she does to them is right. You need to guide her if you love her. Force her out once in a while, make her comfortable with some of your brothers or sisters and friends with time she will outgrow it. Also what kind of work does she do? She needs a job that will make her meet with people always.
