Bro e no easy to chill o, my pride couldn't take it anymore. Like I said in my original post, I'm not working (no regular job) but I hustle to get money to sustain (legit and street). I do okay as a single guy. I just need to focus more on getting enough money to take care of her and earn her family's respect - away from the pressure and shadow of her mom. No more child's play. Some harsh truths in this thread, but it's well noted. Like someone else noted, I may have been heartless. Believe me I realize my mistakes, just wonder if my girl and I can come back from all this. I called her yesterday and I intend to continue to keep in touch. Let's see how it goes. Thanks for the compliment bro. Thank NL fam I just had to let it all out and do a painful and honest analysis of myself. Jah bless. 2 Likes |

Also want to thank all those who sent me PMs and offered valuable advice. I really appreciate. Will try my best to right my wrongs. Sometimes we feel like certain things cannot happen to us until it happens. |

^^ Your opinion and I respect it. Life is not black and white but shades of grey. It was the pregnancy that led me to meet the MIL, I never knew her or her character before hand. And food and shelter had never been a problem for me as a single man. The mistake I made was caving into their desires in the first place. Lessons have been learned. Thank you! 2 Likes |

We are talking about a mom who can't hold a man down. A woman who has been through multiple men and multiple marriages. In the short time I was there, one boyfriend was on his way out and another one was coming in. Her disrespectful attitude, aggressiveness and dominance is the chief reason for this. She lacks basic respect for men, and from what I saw there was an active plan in motion to turn me into a doormat. I had plans for my life, but she and her mom had other plans intended to push me further away from my own career path and keep me under their thumb. There was an active plan to control my destiny, but the more I resisted and stuck to my guns, the madder the mother became. I'm not trying to defend my position in all this, just saying it as it is. Still I understand the perspective of the mom; a boy got her daughter pregnant, she tried to help his life and the ungrateful bastard abandoned her daughter and left her for dead. God dey. I'm focused on my life now, and some of you may be right to blame my actions on youthful exuberance. 1 Like |

@babyosisi Thanks for the input. I never wanted to work for the mom or live in accommodation provided by her. I was goaded and pleaded with by both mom and daughter to accept their treaties as they were only trying to help us stand as a young family. I should not have accepted anything from them and that is my biggest regret. Still, I never hid my position. I am a fresh grad trying to start life and it would take some time for me to stand on solid ground financially, still I was under so much pressure. My anger with my girl was her complacency when I complained to her severally that her mom was actively disrespecting me. If it was all about the money, I would have sucked it up and grovelled for what I could get. It was my pride as a man that drove me away from there when I realized the damage that had been done. Thank you. |

aflyingbird: You are right, I felt like the mom was jealous of my relationship with her daughter. I don't know if I still love her, but I know I love my child beyond the question why, even though we haven't met. Thanks a lot. |

tearoses: We rented a 3 bedroom apartment, bankrolled by her mom. Really dumb I know, but she was so understanding at the time. Was saying how I shouldn't worry, that so far I have accepted responsibility it shall be well with me. Then made hefty promises guaranteeing my financial security to be able to take care of her daughter and grandchild. Was I greedy? Maybe Did I believe her? 100% Did she fulfil any of her promises? No I'm hustling now to keep body and soul together, can hardly call it work. But I dey sustain myself. My parents think I should move on and focus on myself. And go for service, get a good job, live my life. They say the child will come looking for me when he's ready and I can have others. My mom had a relationship with her but it was a bit forced, we had barely settled our big quarrel before I dropped the news that I'd gotten someone pregnant. She wasn't too keen on my whole seriousness towards the affair but was willing to support me for the sake of peace. I would have attempted to walk away - Yes. But knowing me, and I was with her for 8 months of her pregnancy - I felt the baby kick several times, it's all talk. |

Ab025: I was trying to be the hard man and move on with my life like I had left nothing behind but as soon as I saw the picture of my son I don't know what came over me. My heart melted and I started regretting everything that had happened. He should not be more than 2 weeks old now. That's how recent this is. I kept thinking about him and then I didn't know when I started crying. I don't want him to live without his father. I tried to call her all day but her number has been switched off, I've sent countless messages. Sent to her friend, sent to her younger sister, even sent to the mom to forgive and forget. I just want peace to reign but I don't think they will make it so easy for me. They might want to make me suffer or reject me altogether. Remember I told her never to call me again? But it was in anger. It would break my heart not to be a part of my son's life. 4 Likes |

rudebouy: Knowing the mom, it might. I've honestly never met a human being like her before. She may feel she is trying to protect the daughter but all she is doing is putting in effect a generational cycle because of what she herself has been through in the hands of men. And you know how some women are once they have a little cash. You can't tell them anything. No man should dare. The matter plenty jare, just trying to keep it short. |

rudebouy: Thank you for this insightful question. I want my son, but I do not have the means to raise him or get involved in any court case with the family who would be more than willing to fight me for it. I thought I wanted my girl, but I can never marry into that family anymore. God will not permit. I believe she intentionally conceived to tie me down, and I gullibly fell for it. She wasn't such a good girl as she initially had me believe. I want my life and my sanity, I was making progress until I saw the pic of him. And he looked just like me. I feel so helpless. 3 Likes |

For a very long time I've been contemplating whether or not to share my story, but I've decided I will. 50 heads are better than one. I will try as much as possible to make it short. My girlfriend and I were dating for about 2 years. Last year, in my final year, she got pregnant. And being the good girl that she is, I decided we keep the baby. After my final exams we decided to go see the mom (her mom is a single mom, parents are separated) to break the news to her and accept responsibility for the pregnancy. The mom was very welcoming and understanding, and at the time I was having a very major misunderstanding with my folks which they helped me settle. And then we moved into a three bedroom apartment and started making plans and living our lives. We are/were very good together. Until the pressure started mounting. I had already assured her and her mom that we would get married as the relationship was heading in that direction and she was a nice girl. I informed my parents and my siblings that i had put someone in the family way and they were in touch. But my girl changed right in front of me as she started demanding that I take her to my papa house, and mounting pressure on me so that we get married this year 2015. FYI, I just finished school, haven't even gone for service, what's the rush? No be money them they take marry? Soon they were pressuring me to take a job in her mom's company which I refused but they kept insisting that I just do the job in the meanwhile till I got something better. It got to a point where I felt like I was being rushed but I felt - why not? Make e no be like say person dey rude. This was my biggest mistake. Now I'm a pretty competent guy in whatever I do, but it didn't take too long before the insults and rude remarks started coming in small small. The mom transformed from a sweet and charming lady into an aggressive and domineering lady who criticized and tried to control everything I did. I would smile pleasantly through gritted teeth to explain any issue to her before she would understand and keep quiet. This happened repeatedly and each time I threatened to leave the job my girl would beg me to understand. Each time I told her to talk to her mom to watch the way she talks to a prospective in-law she would either: - Shed tears and beg me to understand. - Flare up and defend her mom saying she's her mom what do I want her to do? By the 8th month of her pregnancy, her mom had frustrated me to the point where I had to leave and face my own hustle before I did the unthinkable to her. It was no longer me and my girl against the world. It was her and her mom against me. My girl was more interested in snapping pic and showing me off (our relationship) to her friends than actually making things work. When I eventually made up my mind to leave, the mom was there to insult me and curse me, and as my girl was rushing after me to beg me to stay with tears in her eyes, her mom gave her some dirty slaps to prevent her from doing so. Her mom, slapping an 8months pregnant lady. I was thankful for my escape as I left. They seemed more concerned with roping me in and tying me down than anything else. They didn't seem to care about the fact that I was just starting out in life, na marriage sure pass. My girl sent me messages and called me a few times, but I was too angry to think straight, and I told her never to call me again. I felt betrayed and hurt and used and emotionally drained. Until I saw the picture of my newborn son through a mutual friend, and then my life turned upside down again. I wished I never saw the picture cos from that moment I couldn't stop thinking about him. How was he going to be raised? Would he be happy? Would they turn him against me as I strongly suspect they will(especially her mom)? Why wasn't I informed of my son's arrival to this world? I'm seriously, seriously depressed and don't know what to do. My life has barely even started. No job but slowly gathering money together for clearance so I can go for service and move on with my life. I'm 25 years old. How can I fight this? Has anyone faced what I'm currently facing? I'm also willing to answer any questions you have relating to this issue without divulging too much details and I beg that this topic remains in this section to protect my privacy. I need serious advice. This is not a write up, this is my life I beg una. Thank you. 2 Likes |
