This is from the angle of a prospectively single and working-class lady.
I wish someone had told me that:
1. Loosing your virginity before marriage is not a guarantee that the guy you loose it to will marry you. Some guys will tell you so many sweet lies and you will only believe them if you are a novice.
2. If you are not married before 30, family members will start thinking it's spiritual and start telling you to go for deliverance to break the yoke of delayed marriage. (Majority of them will recommend MFM)
3. Your married female friends will stop being friends with you as soon as they are married. You will just seem like bad egg all of a sudden and honestly, this makes you feel more pathetic for your already pathetic self.
4. It's very depressing when your younger siblings/cousins/nieces/nephews are getting married and you can't attend because of the shame of been confronted with people asking what's wrong with you and why you are still single.
5. I would get my heart broken a lot when i start dating. It would have prepared me better if i knew this earlier.
6. I would value the NYSC allowance i used to receive Immediately after youths service, when i was without a job. We used to call the allowance "chicken change" but after youths service that i was without a job, i began to wish i had saved my "chicken change" for life after service without a job (I lavished my NYSC allowances on nonsense).
7. Living alone as a single lady [even though you have a honest means of living] passes a wrong signal about you to people around you: no matter how good of a person you are.
8. If you live alone as a single lady, guys who will come your way will barely shower you with any gift as they believe you are doing just fine. They will never cease to call you "big girl". Even if you are dying, they will expect you as the supposed big girl to resurrect yourself.
9. If you have a female colleague or friend who is into "runs", don't try to talk them out of it. You will be seen as a "hater" or a jealous person. People into runs never want to hear the truth. As long as you don't flaunt the hotel lobby, designers hand bags and exotic flight trips they do on bbm/instagram, you are a hater.
10. In the course of my employment hunt, i would get a lot of sexual advances from men in return for a good job.
11. If you live alone as a single lady, people (neighbours especially) will come around you a lot to borrow money. Some will even expect you to "dash" them like you don't have your own responsibilities and expenses.
12. As a single lady, you can't go to the club, bars or lounges on your own without been seen as a prostitute or a lady hoping for some guys to approach her.
13. You can't tell a guy you are bored. He will take you out, get rid of the boredom for you and expect you to follow him home to pay him back in kind. In fact, the ones who take you out are very kind. Majority will tell you to come over to their house, so they can have sex with you.

i wish someone has told me that my life will finally go the way it's going noe, would have really married the first guy that came my for marriage when i was in secondary school, now have realized he's a very good man to the core!
ReplyDelete*Had told u* now not noe.
DeleteBrace yourself up. There are thousands of better men out there, just make sure ur a bitch.
I wish someone had told me that love won't be fair to me
DeleteI wish someone had told me that being a good girl does not pay.
I wish someone has told me that Austine is an idiot I wouldn't have dated him.
I'll be right back

DeleteLongest ID:can I hook you up?
DeletePlease relax,u won't get result if you are desperate.
thanks @chick felix and nwa Amaka
DeleteI wish someone had told me to focus more in school and make better grades. Never knew life was this difficult.
DeleteI wish some one had told me not to invest so much in any relationship cause everything comes to an end.
I wish someone had told me to spend more time with my family and mum, cause we are all growing up too fast.
I wish someone had told me to save.
That number 3 is so real...
DeleteI wish someone has told me to learn handwork those times I wasted waiting for a job.It could have been an added advantage for me couple with my job,so difficult now as the job takes much of my time.
Wow! Really need to get married ASAP!!!! B4 30s comes knocking in 6yrs and to avoid such long blog id. Husband materials apply within. Sis with the blog id may God grant ur heart desire asap!
Deletethanks mercy felicity, yours will come soon
DeleteI wish some1 had told me, I would have taken the bold step of travelling with my other gf's aboard den who are now married and living large but me age no longer on my side, no job yet but a graduate and so penny less, life seems unfair to me somehow. The suffering is just too much, so I wish some1 had told me. Oh life, some one should please come to my recruse be4 I do something stupid
Delete@portable viv, no problem, thanks a lot
DeleteSeriously all this I wish I wish is only making us slaves to our past. And will only slow one down moving forward.
DeleteLet's be sincere with ourselves, most teenagers don't believe what you tell them, when they start dating and falling in love, you caution them, tell them all the dangers of falling in love and dating at an early age, they never believe you, they'll never Listen.
You as someone who's advanced in age and experience you try to guild them, but their youthful arrogance will not allow them take Your advice.
Same goes for all of us when we're much younger, if we'd been told all we're wishing someone had told us before now, we wouldn't have listened, if we'd been told all the dangers of dating, the challenges of marriage, the dangers of falling in love, especially to the wrong guys or girl, if someone more experienced and probably advanced in age had seen a danger sign in a particular guy or girl and warned us, we wouldn't have listened because we're so young, inexperienced, naive and are in love, we think love is so sweet, and will continue like that, we'll never believe it gets sour at some point, and we'll think life and marriage is a bed of roses, If we'd been told to get married to that guy or that girl back then, because he/she is Good, we would have refused thinking otherwise.
So all that we're wishing isn't necessary, because, most times we need some experience to become wise, because we humans are stubborn and imperfect. A perfect example is this;
We all have younger ones and some of us here have kids, some will have kids someday, tell them all there is to life, the does and don't of dating and marriage, 80% of those times they'll not listen. That's life for you, it will continue like that till time indefinite.
All we have to do is move on, and try to make a better life, and stop being slaves to our past, stop worshipping them by always reminding ourselves with I wish I wish because they'll slow us down.

Mercy weldone oo!! U ain't God u know!!!! Like bv with longest ID wished for wat she got....
Deletei dont mind o @ portable viv.... thanks
DeleteHmmm, this singing girl living alone part though.... Hmmm, I wish someone had told me that..........okay I got nothing..
Delete@Amaka what are the pre-requisites for becoming a bitch biko
DeleteStella,thanks for this post..I think I've been waiting subconsciously. .
DeleteWhere do I start...
I wish I knew that I needed to be careful of who I trust. I was so stupid to trust my brother who took advantage and duped me of 1 million naira.. money isn't everything but...
I wish I wasn't so naive to believe that just cos you're related to someone by blood then they'll have your back always.. The only person I feel for is my parents who will be sad to see their children growing apart...
I wish I didn't waste any time trying to make people like me, people will always judge no matter what...I'm glad I'm way past that now, I'm now a strong advocate for being ones self, I mean,why try to be someone else when there is beauty and uniqueness in being yourself, and you'd still get judged anyway..
I wish I didn't worry so much, several years of worry and look at me, still encountering stuff I worried about
I wish I knew that as one grows up, you will be snubbed by former friends cos you aren't in same class as them..
Wish I knew that my old relationship was going nowhere earlier on and left a long time ago..3 years is too long to be with Mr 'not the one'
In all I'm grateful for those experiences as they'd never repeat themselves again,
In all I'm loving life and excited to see how this journey will be.
I wish someone had told me that I will still be single till now.that what I thought was relationship was actually stupidity.
DeleteI never dreamt of being single till now.
I wish had known that being a good girl does not pay,all my girlfriends who were serious runs babe are now married with kids,the worst of them all even married a pastor but the exemplary good girl remains unmarried.
It's never good to be a good girl.
Good please come to my rescue and bless me with a helpmate. Am tired of peeps asking me "when are we eating rice".
I wish I had known,I just wished...........
The thirst. The desperation
DeleteHmmmmmmmmmm.
ReplyDeleteWe humans are so forgetful. Most times even if someone had told us, we will still go ahead and do what we feel we want to do and damn d consequences.
DeleteAnd when d consequences come calling we run around whipping up sentiments and looking for solutions when we should have easily averted them if only we had listened...
Everything we need to guide our path in this life has been given to us in God's Word. The Bible is d manual for life.

There's so much u need to know!
Single girl living alone, and in Abuja... that was d story of my life. people will hate you for no reason, especially older women, guys will feel they can call you out @ anytime, come to pay a visit @ anytime, or you can sleep out of your house cos you are a "big girl" smh. I had to start telling people I was living with family abeg. I no fit shout. As for the breakup and stuff, Nne move on. Life is all about gambling. Relationship is a gamble as well. It either works out or it doesn't. You may have had it worst in marriage. As for the virginity thingy, never keep it cos you want to please your husband. Mbanu. Keep it for your PRIDE and for your GOD.
DeleteGbam...... Nne u have said it all
DeleteHummmmm, oga oo
ReplyDelete*Larry was here*
I wish I knew when the next Single and Mingle will come up. I need a gf
DeleteI wish someone had told me that life will be turn out this way. I wish someone had told me that I will still be single at this age, I would have married D. And try to make him smarter.
DeleteI wish someone had told me that getting a good job is not about how brilliant you are or how high your CGPA is.
I wish people can learn to be contented with what they have and not envy others.
I wish I knew that colleagues at work can turn themselves into your mortal enemy all because they thought you are doing better than them.
I wish someone told me to be careful about spending because money is not easy to get.
I wish I am not so emotional. I wish I dated guys for money so that I don't lose at both ends.
I wish I can find love again. I will cherish it so much.
I wish someone had informed me that serving God early in life guarantees rest later in life.
Hmmn.
Number 8 is so true...I can relate.
DeleteI wish someone had told me to start dating on time! So dat id build up the experience, I was 21 wen I had my ist bf! We broke up cos he wanted to hv sex with me! Wen the nxt guy came! It didn't wrk out! Cos along the line he wanted the same tn! Twas as if all the guys wanted same tn! and they always left me with this sayin dat sex is the string dat keeps one attached his/her boo! And indeed my relatnship never lasted cos of sex! The longest was 6mnths! I started feeln like I was so odd! Life was miserable! Anoda guy came anyways! And proved to me dat love is still worth it! Aldo he promised sex won't be a problem! Buh dat he can't date a girl without havin sex with her! We were 3mnths gone into the relatnship! I was so into him! So I gave up! Was even the one who begged him to do it! What a shame! Aldo I dnt regret it anymor! To cut the long story short! We've lasted 5yrs since den, we've had our worse days and our happy days! But no money for wedding! .... it pains me dat evry morning my mum keeps using me as a prayer point! am 27 nw! I can't find my self loving sm1 els! We love ourselves so much! But money no just dey to do wedding! I wish we can gather money to live happily ever....

DeleteShuo, that guy really do you strong thing. Move on dear, he is not worth all the emotion.
DeleteI wish I knew better not to quit my job and move out of lag with hubby
ReplyDeleteThings we do for marriage.sometimes.its not worth it.i did the same.i was just lucky cos my area of spec is always available when it comes to getting a job.
DeleteWe (women) sacrifice alot for marriage
I wish someone had told me how important my monthly allowance was, I would have still be collecting it.
DeleteI miss living in my father's house, everywhere seems small and dirty.
I need a new job biko, I'm bored already
I wish I went for the interview I was called for when my baby was 2months old,now it's difficult to get a job
Delete@ young 4 Eva. ..true dat... @ Lakatie I miss my pop's house like madt! !! *sadface*
DeleteI wish my salary is more than enough so that I won't have to manage money like a miser. Hmmn.
DeleteNot enough space to write all my "i wish". Lord turn my mistakes to miracles".
DeleteSo true
ReplyDeleteWish someone had told me that sometimes, the people u call family would be the ones to pray for your downfall and plunge a knife not just in your back but a place where it hurts really badly
DeleteI wish I was 19 again, so many things I would have changed
I wish I had the means to take care of d most important person in my life
I wish I don't have sleepless nights anymore
I wish I was happy.......in and out
I wish I knew that making good grades at my bank's training school won't get you a good job position as posting is still done by connection.
DeleteI wish I knew that living alone in abuja will make any guy u meet feel that you aRe an available meat and canbe visited at odd hours.
I wish I knew that some girls have spirits of envy, jealousy and backbiting naturally imbedded in them....it's worse at my place of work. Girls are really their own worse enemies.
I wish I knew that dating a guy while in school because he over loved me even tho I didn't love him will result in my being stalked till now after 5 years of breakup.
I wish I knew how to love and feel emotion and not allow the experiences my sister's had while I was growing up to shape me into an ice queen....tho it has saved me from a lot of drama associated with love, I always walk out without a second glance.
I wish my dad was alive to witness my graduation from school.
I wish there are other moral and legal means of earning more income on the side apart from my salary to enable me meet more needs.
I wish I am a Billionaire....my wish is not to get married to one but to be one!
Poster, abegi. Make we hear word. Are you a Virgin? Prick never enter your toto b4?
ReplyDelete..... and the "V" word sends this one into a mad frenzy,of course missing the point!
DeleteSmh.

DeleteThat shows some peoples attitude towards life and situations they find themselves.
Woman fuck off biko, am I ur younger sister or help? Was I refering to u nd ur generations? You dat married as a virgin and ur husband is still fucking all d girls in abj nko?
DeleteDon't let me start wit u bitch!
Thats serious ooh
DeleteThank God for this post. I wish someone told me love will hurt you the same way it makes you feel good. I wish someone had told me that a guy can change overnight. I wish someone can tell me if I'm being used just for relocation purpose. I wish my parents would just allow me marry an old white man who is rich and loves me (my intial plan). I wish someone told me that over independence is a bad thing. I wish someone told me everyone will greet me with the marriage topic as if it's good morning.
ReplyDeleteIt is well in jesus name.
DeleteSo true my dear.
DeleteI wish I knew my parents where going to die so early.
I wish I wasn't the fisrt child so I wont have to sacrifice futhering my wducation because of my younger ones.
I wish I had a good job. I wish I have someone to depend on, I'm tired of being alone and I wish i have soneone to love and take me as I am.
I know who u r and u r so wrong. U r not being used. My God, how can you even think that?

ReplyDeleteWill read comments & learn fr my mistakes
Hmnnnnn!I wish I knew!
ReplyDeleteSame way most bvs automatically turned into married women in its 1-4th part,trust those same bvs to turn around claiming/forming singles in this post.
ReplyDeleteFake people everywhere.
In its 1st-4th post although I cldnt quite comment,i was alarmed cos it seemed everybody on this blog was married. It got me thinking, if everyone is claiming married,then who are those sending in tons of comment in S & M
You know over 10k people read this blog. So there must always be someone who is affected by an issue. Though bvs can lie sha. But it's 'commonsensical' na
DeleteMy dear, help me ask them oo, maybe they have spiritual husbands! LOL
Delete@ELENA u just finish me with laugh kikikikk ure mouthed
DeleteNo wish.
ReplyDeleteAs a single and OK lady, I have no regrets @all. I am satisfied with both my dating life and career. If I get married b4 am thirty good if I don't good. Av never made marriage a priority in life. I work hard to ball hard. Whatever tomorrow brings is fine by me.
ReplyDeleteI lost my virginity in a very bizarre way. I don't even have any experience of what it means to loose it. I see Virginity as a myth. If I have a daughter tomorrow I will ask her how it feels.
I wish some1 had told me that I wont get over this guy even after marrying some1 else, he begged and begged me to marry him but I didnt because he was broke, nw I m not attracted to my hubby and I find myself sneaking to bang the other guy, I love him nd only him not my hubby...if only I was not under pressure to get married by my wicked stepmum, now I dunno how to free myself from all this I ve trapped myself in. Oh Lord, I love dotun and only him, plz fix us bak 2geda wtout any1 getting hurt in the process, he is my love and my life, cant even enjoy sex with DH, only Dotun can make my dreams come true
DeleteIf u want my honest advice, just go and be fornicating with dotun. That's the best thing for u. Lots of married women do it.

DeleteFornication is a sin!
DeleteSee me see 8 and 11. I don suffer, I don tire. Food I never see chop married neighbours would be asking me to give them money for soup that their husband is broke. I sat and thought to myself, what is this? Honestly its suicidal. As for dating I don't even allow male visitors into my house since 1904 except I have been convinced of your sincerity towards me. But still they won't see the hustling and strugling you, they see you as one biggest girl. If they knew that that outlook is nothing but God's grace, am dying inside.
ReplyDeleteI'll start with Number 9, as this happened to me..but i think it was a test or trial thing. My interviewer called me after my interview to express his interest, but I didn't give. I got the job, and he acts like nothing of such happened. He's a Director in my firm, & I report directly to him. But, he has never attempted any of those sexual harassment thing. I have never had problems with him as regards my official duties/responsibilities. So my dear ladies, carry yourself well. Men sense it when you act vulnerable, and they'll try to take advantage of it.
ReplyDeleteNYSC allowee..i didn't spend mine anyhow. Infact, I was sending part of it home cos of responsibilities. My state(Enugu) allowee was 10k, so i sent that and had my Federal allowee to myself and for saving. I tried to engage in order things to fetch me cash, so after service I had a little to use to settle down. Cos i resumed work immediately after NYSC. To save yourself from been stranded after service, do not wait till u pass out before applying for jobs. Start applying aggressively for jobs like 4-6months before your POP. they'll know you're serious and those who will help will help. You also have to show ur worth. Improve urself during that one year. it isn't just for fun.
As a single lady, do not wait for anyone to validate your existence. Improve, live ur life & just do ur thing. Carry urself well, and u'll attract good pple. As for friends, know that the higher u go, the number drops. ur life will revolve more around colleagues & acquaintances. Don't get carried away or depend too much on any of them. Those who want u in their life will stay. If marriage changes them, just mind ur business & keep moving. Get busy improving & loving ur life. things will fall in place with time.

ReplyDeleteNo be only LOOSING na TIGHTENING your virginity. Una don make person dey confuse the use of LOSE and LOOSE on this Blog due to their wrong usage. I know we are all learners but let's try a little to use basic words correctly. That's how I read Yemi Alade's tweet on a fire incident weeks back and the construction was ear-tingling. I know Grammar no help anybody but nothing wrong with total package.
As BusyBodyCorrecter no dey this Blog again to dey correct us, na anything goes. No offence meant. I am just bored this Friday afternoon.
Happy weekend!

ReplyDeleteSo apt! Very well written. I don't have any regrets or wishes to share tho.
ReplyDeleteAeegurl...
I wish I knew that my ex wasnt serious after all,wish I was knew that men actually do not keep to their promise
ReplyDeleteI wish i wish I wish.....I wish I know dis post will come up today. ...... I wish I can jst stay at home all my life without working and worrying over nothing. I am tired of waking up very early in d morning for work. I wish there won't be winter dis year, I am afraid of early morning cold already.
ReplyDeleteHian ooo so dis tin finally reach part 5.
ReplyDeleteOK na!
I wished some one warned me more, about enjoying my childhood.
Damn! Adulthood is way too serious.
D moment I clocked 18, my father called me n said, pinkshell, u just attained d age were u get to tk responsibilities for all ur actions.
But nobody warned me childhood wld be so short n dat I needed to enjoy d moment to it fullest.
I wishd I don't worry too much abt my future.
I worry too much abt finances.
I worry abt death of friends n loved ones, it can get so real to me, dat sometimes tears well up in my eyes.
I wish I don't worry too much abt bearing kids for d wrong man, I tell myself pinkshell u can't afford to make dat mistake.
U can't deny ur children dis luxury.
I wish i ddnt worry so much abt money, I plan to have kids I can single handedly takia of.
I wish i ddnt worry so much abt my future life partner dying half way tru our marriage n leaving me to do everytin all alone.
I don't want to Eva do anytin we statd togeda, alone, I rada die 1st n protect him n my kids frm up dere, Dan raise my kids alone.
I wish I av enuf courage to mk decisions abt a life partner and stop giving d non chalant attitude.
I wishd so many good tins in my life right now happend earlier, cos it feels like time is short n dia are so many goals to be achieved.
But God dey sha.
I wish I cld just breathe n relax n enjoy life more.
I wish I can let go, n let God.
So your real name is Pinkshell?

ReplyDeleteSubtitle?
DeleteWho says you can't club alone as a single girl? I club a lot and I honestly don't care what some folks think about me. I came to enjoy and enjoy I must. Just last week Friday, one nonentity sent someone to give me a complimentary card and on the back of the card, he wrote, come home with me and I'd pay you N100,000. Immediately, I tore the card and gave the servant the shreds. It's all about standards and determination. Even married women get sex advances, but that won't stop them from being married and faithful to their husbands na. So, because some non entities will have a dirty mind, I won't have fun abi? Damn them.
ReplyDeleteIt's only those who want to be pressured will be pressured as a single lady. My mum already sees me as a rebel in this regard. She has recommended all sorts of deliverance, but honestly, I don't care. If I get married, all well and good, if not, all well and good. Abi, no be these men whose priority is just to have sex with you? Abeg, make I hear word.

I wish someone had told me that I could loose a fiance cos of gossip

DeleteI really want to get married this year
ReplyDeleteAm 35 years now
Am ashamed of my self, all my cousins and sisters are married.
I'm in love with a guy but am not ok
I want more than that.
His talking about marriage
Asking me many things about marriage
Planning about marriage
But I still want more than that.
I want him to ask me questions with an engagement ring.
Please how to get an engagement ring this month.
I have prayed and am still praying
Alot of prayers
Please help me, am confused
I don't know what to do
Matured mind only please
You have low self esteem...work on that
DeleteDon't be desperate...you only live once
As for engagment ring...if you stay in Lagos u can always get @ Yaba or Balogum mrk...since your 'Man' is yet to give u one. Buy for yourself!!!
At 35 u still dey chose? Wawu
DeleteBabe the secret is to relax and take life as it comes. The faster you relax, the faster you get the ring.
DeleteAt 35 why won't she choose. It's people like you that put so much pressure making single ladies feel they have no choice. Madame please be confident in yourself and let yourself know that any man you meet will be lucky to have you and marry you. Drop a hint darling ' if he wants it let him put a ring on it'
DeleteWho says you can't club alone as a single girl? I club a lot and I honestly don't care what some folks think about me. I came to enjoy and enjoy I must. Just last week Friday, one nonentity sent someone to give me a complimentary card and on the back of the card, he wrote, come home with me and I'd pay you N100,000. Immediately, I tore the card and gave the servant the shreds. It's all about standards and determination. Even married women get sex advances, but that won't stop them from being married and faithful to their husbands na. So, because some non entities will have a dirty mind, I won't have fun abi? Damn them.

This is so mean except that I didn't spend my NYSC money anyhow o, wey responsibility boku and I was able to save some and with the help of God am trying to start up my bead making business and other stuffs ranging from weavon,attachment, hair cream and the likes, I pray to kick start by end of this month still putting some things together.
ReplyDeleteAm so trying to concentrate on my success now.
I wish someone had told me that trying to get pregnant could be this difficult. Been married for 5 years now, no baby. 3 miscarriage and still praying to God for a miracle
ReplyDeleteWait on the Lord sis, you will have your own baby by his grace.
DeleteU will carry ur bundles of joy. AMEN. Kip on trusting n beieving God.
DeleteU will carry ur own child by this time next year, believe it and watch Jehovah work for u.

ReplyDeleteI wish I was not born into a very poor family.i wish
ReplyDeleteYou are a blessing to that family
DeletePrayer harder
Are u related to Patt?
DeleteGo back to your mum's womb and don't come out!!! OK?
DeleteI wish I was not born into a very poor family.i wish
ReplyDeleteU think u guys are poor? Or u ve other problems?, go to hospital and see those who re rich but fighting with life to survive. My dear u're not poor. Ur parents ve tried for u, please continue from where dey stop.
DeleteI relate a lot to the points listed above as a 32yr old single lady. I'm doing very well financially but relationships i have had bad luck with men. In my early 20s I had a lot of guys on my case bcos I am beautiful with a good character, dou shy. A lot of dese guys I dismissed dem thinking I could find better, now they are all married and doing well. I waisted my 20s in two longgg fruitless relatnshps that led to nothing. Just becos they were rich and I saw odAs as small boys. Never gave this oda guys a chance to even know them, I just didn't feel dat spark sef. But now I'm older I know you can learn to love. 1st thing is to give d guy a chance. I'm also slowly realising that my married friends have started being distant from me. D once we still see, I can see d pity in dere eyes. Always telling me it is well. Meanwhile I am more beUtiful than most of dem and even richer, but dey feel they are better than me because they are married with kids. Even family same thing, some small cousins dat use to cum and collect used clothes from me, bcos they are married with kids dere better. Rite now I've cut off from some family and friends. Anyone dat wld bring negativity to my life I don't just need them. Since my last breakup which wAs bad cos I thot it's my final bus stop, I've just surrendered everything to GOd. The guys have met since den feel dyer doing me a favor. One we dated for a short period. Will call whenever he feels like, when I say u don't call me regularly. He says I'm complaining bcos no word from him in 2days. Dat I can start complying maybe if I don't hear from me for 1mth. He's Neva bout me nada, doesn't behave like he cares. So I walked, after my friend asked. Can you name 1 particular thing you gain by being in dis rltshp. Couldnt even say companionship bcos d guy isn't there for me. Sometimes can see him maybe 4/5 times in a month. I won't give up, God will make a way.
ReplyDeleteChai, being a single lady in Africa is hard. Pressure from left, right, front and centre. Even if you do not feel pressured to marry, society will want to push you. Thumbs up to all the single ladies out there making strides in their careers and keeping their heads high.
ReplyDeleteA DAY IN THE LIFE OF A MOTHER
If someone had told me loving too hard was a disadvantage all these guys won't be taking advantage of me.
ReplyDeleteAnon 14:43, do you know men smell desperation from afar and they use it to their advantage? You're 35, so what? I know exactly how you feel, but honey, it isn't the end of the world. Instead of being so worried, why don't you freeze your eggs and when the right man comes, you'd have no problem getting pregnant. I say this because I know having kids is what you're worried about abi? My dear, do not stop living all in a bid to get married. Enjoy
ReplyDeleteI wish someone had told me that my mum would hate me bcos of my step dad. He disvirgined me and has made me his sex object. My mum doesn't believe me. She burnt all my clothes and bags. My life is in ruins . I am penniless and can't go to school. Wish someone told me life was dis difficult.
DeleteI don't understand you
DeletePlease come again
Freeze my eggs? Please I want to understand you
DeleteI wish I wasn't falling for a friend of my ex boyfriend. I wish I didn't have a man who even though he's kind and decent, doesn't chew like a goat, knows the distinction between have and had, doesn't turn me off when he's naked(nigga is a walking skeleton with dry disgusting skin) and doesn't irritate me with his touch. Mtcheeew.
ReplyDeleteWere you hypnotized and asked to date him?
DeleteBetter free his walking skeleton so he can find the person that suits him.
I wish I knew being a single mother would make every guy I come across think I'm loose and make them unserious with me. Wish I could meet a good man who will be a father to my child!! Lord my child needs a father as his isn't performing his duties!
ReplyDeleteWish I knew never to try internet dating. Met a guy on social media. Everything seemed good till he came back and just changed. Wish I knew to just stay on my lane I and not start wishing for something more. I won't feel so dissapointed now. I wish all my efforts would just pay off so I'll have the money I need to take good care of my child
And I also wish I knew being a "good" girl dsnt pay. Doesn't mean anything to guys or anybody else for that matter. The girls who are termed "runs girls" are actually the ones having fun and enjoying their lives. Wish I knew my childs dad was just sent to me to waste years of my life for no reason. Being a single mum isnt easy. Thought after much stress and meeting stupid men, ive finally met a good man. Im not so sure anymore
ReplyDeleteGood girl wet don't born for house
DeleteOriegwu
More like stupid girl

U were just careless with your Toto.
Dear Anonymous 14.43
ReplyDeleteDo not settle. You already don't feel good about this. Try not to put yourself in any kind of torture for the rest of your life, so you don't end up married and yearning so desperately for 'Dotun'. This might sound like everything you've heard before but do you really want to be 35 and not get it right still?
It's a good thing you pray. God never forsakes His own. I hope very soon you'll smile, remember this comment and see why God took His time to answer you.
Be cheerful
Be encourage.
Thanks so much
DeleteI appreciate
I will not forget it
I wish I could rewind my life and rewrite the scripts to have a better scene, but I can't change the past looking back it has only been better with each passing day. Single but not lonely I only want fulfillment. My mistakes made me stronger and more ressilent. The future is full of boundless opportunities. I honestly wish to have a life partner that is not scared of a lady with a mission.
ReplyDeleteQuite some wishes.
ReplyDeleteThey were young and very much in love. The future without each other looks blank. They couldn't bear imaging one with the other not being in it and then the idea stroke. Yes! ....... Kindly click

ReplyDeleteWhy don't you anonymous bvs prove me wrong for once? I called you out and you guys came charging immediately like the toothless bulldogs you are. What a pity! Shame! To my lovers, I love you to the moon and back. YOLO
ReplyDelete@ anonymous 14.43 (35 years old)
ReplyDeleteforget all those nonsense things you see people propose in the road, under water inside shoprite etc. life isn't really about such niceties. it is not the romantic gestures that make marriages; it is the amount of chemistry deep within the respective DNAs of a couple that matters.
What if you get an engagement ring and nothing else comes for years? Will it not suit you better if as he is talking marriage, you practicalize things and get married?
Get real, forget niceties
i wish i can turn back the hands of time and start over again...am just stock here ..no job no money to start up my business ..no nothing...am just tired of everything
ReplyDeleteA guy I barely talked to or hung out with 5yrs ago calls me out of the blue for me to travel and meet him where he is based. Biko my fellow bvs, is it through whatsapp that desperation dey show? Not even to know if I don drink water drop cup. Na wa o! Anyways....Im happy with what God has given me, the experience to know and do better. When there is life, there is hope. It is well with us single ladies...its how far but how well. Jehovah bu Eze!
