@Peri_phil I can hold a conversation, make you laugh, and match your energy... yet I'm still single. Safe to say, good conversation isn't the only thing that makes a relationship work.
It's deeply frustrating when people manipulate situations to invalidate your feelings, leaving you with no space to express genuine emotions.
Anger is natural, especially when boundaries are crossed.
You're not wrong for feeling hurt or standing up for yourself, don't let anyone diminish that.
Your emotions are valid and deserve acknowledgment, not dismissal.
Keep protecting your peace.
Before I give up on people, I always make sure I really try. I always give more chances than I should, and I always try to find understanding in their actions. That way when I give up I know I'm done for good, and nobody can act surprised when they don't hear from me again
one of the biggest signs of emotional maturity is understanding that forgiveness and trust don’t heal at the same speed.
i can forgive you today.
that doesn’t mean everything goes back to normal tomorrow.
Some of you single ladies in relationships, you already know that the men that you're dating will not be good husbands, fathers or providers.
But because he fucks your toto so good and always avoiding to tell you truth & makes you feel good, you're still foolishly in that relationship.
God gave women the gift of foresight.
Your boyfriend doesn't have to be rich, but he should have a rich and abundant mindset.
If you're dating a man who grew up seeing his mother being the major provider, please ask questions, and listen to his responses.
When a man is telling you things like:
1. What will my wife be using her own money for?
2. If we get married, I'll be bringing 70% and you will be bringing 30%.
3. Why should I pay my wife back if she spends money for the home?
4. I can never allow my wife to be a house wife.
5. My mother was the one paying the house rent or school fees and I never saw her disrespect my father.
You need to take a second and third look at your relationship. You should also consider the age gap between you and your boyfriend, assess his current financial situation, and evaluate where he will be when he turns 40.
Yes, you're not God, and life happens.
But you must always remember that when a man is choosing you, he's choosing his destiny.
Meaning, whatever he becomes in the marriage, it would be tied to you as his wife.
Hence, this is why I frown upon enabling a man.
Do not tie your destiny to a man who has shown you repeated red flags, and you keep claiming that you love him & refuse to heed the words of advice from experienced persons and elders.
There is hardly any marriage that didn't start off sweet.
But the proof of the pudding is in the eating.
There are no perfect marriages, but many married women who ignored all those red flags that I mentioned above are living with regrets.
Shame, most of the time, will not let them speak up because, somehow, they were warned ab initio.
And that woman includes your mother, who was the main provider in your family.
And that's why wives who have seen it all would never advise their daughters to make the same mistakes they made.
Sit down and assess that man that you're dating today.
Most importantly, check if he's a greedy person. He can be stingy, but he should not be greedy.
A man who always wants to take from you, always looks for you to pity him, is always envious of the achievements of his friends, and is not willing to challenge himself even when pushed, is a red flag.
Do not let his sweet mouth, big preeq and good fuck game to deceive you.
Because any man that you finally decide to get married to, must be your head and leader.
Even if he's a stupid leader.
End.
And when love visits, because it will: May it be the kind that brings peace instead of confusion. The kind that doesn’t leave you wondering where you stand after every conversation. The kind that remembers the little things, and makes you feel considered even in ordinary moments. Love feels different when you don’t have to constantly search for proof that it exists.
@BoluAyos Quick question, let’s say I’m married and I am an account officer. I do field marketing and give out my number to prospective customers, does it mean I’m available too?
