Hmmmmm...
STAND ALONE NARRATIVE
WHEN AGE STANDS BETWEEN
I am a 26-year-old woman in a long-distance relationship with a man I thought I would never date.
Its been 7 months now. He has been pursuing me since my first year in university when we met but I kept turning him down. However, I was already in another relationship then and we remained friends.
After the breakup with my ex-narcissist /sociopath fiance, I suffered depression for a year. This current man was always been there for me. He is caring, loving, very attentive, constant communication and has the good qualities of a would-be husband. He now wants us to get married but the last time I saw him was 5 years ago. It's not everything you believe on the phone. He keeps telling me he is the same person I met those 5 years ago and that we are destined to be.
These are my issues:
1. From day one, my reason for turning him down was our 14 years age difference and i never felt anything for him. He is now 40 never been married , no child. life has not been easy for him. I understand his need to settle down. But just thinking about it, if we have children before they reach college he would be retired by then.
2. He is only starting his career now as a newly admitted lawyer in Nigeria where he currently resides after studying abroad where we initially met. He is still job hunting. I'm already a fully established lawyer myself and have a good job. He has even partially agreed to relocate where I am just to be with me.
I thought I could overlook his age but it's disturbing me but at the same time I feel he is the kind of man I need. My past relationships were bad experiences. He seems different in a good way.
I know I must choose my battles but sometimes I feel like I dont want the relationship anymore and I know how much this man loves me.
Im so confused on what to do ..please advise. Apart of me says I'm pushing a good man away. I am meeting up with him in Nigeria this Christmas hopefully my perception will change.
*Age is nothing but a number my dear....
Just negodu
ReplyDeleteThe Older the better.
Delete#Justsaying.
Is he 14years oolder is wats bothering u? My dear its nothing 2 worry about but if im u i will look deeper. Anything im not 100% or 90% down with something must b wrong. This is someone uve been avoiding all ur life n today u inner self still finds an excuse not to b with him, ill say follow ur heart.
Delete40, and broke? Me I can't even try it. If he had the money we can work on the age. At least RMD is sexy at 50. But this is you and I smell something fishy. If he is so good a man, no matter how broke, he would have been taken. Shine your eyes well. Wait till you meet him before you conclude
DeleteBabygeh abeg if you don't need him please I need him. Send me his details please, God bless you as you do this.
DeleteI don't think you are really feeling the guy. It is obvious you don't have peace about the relationship. Don't jump into anything you don't have peace about. Pray to God for guidance.
DeleteYou don't need BV's advice as yur mind is already made up. U seem not to love him.
DeleteIf you do, u would have found peace with him and that is very important.
Move on babe. God show u direction
Amen
The older the swreter
DeleteIdeato/ilaje Blood - Na your advice be that
DeleteMeaning you're 26? Why can't he find a woman closer to his age? He wants to suck your youth and potential out of you. Stay away from that broke man. And being with someone based on your past is never a good move.
DeleteAs for me I can marry 45yr old man as far as he's single without any child, so nothing is wrong with your age differnces abeg
ReplyDelete*Larry was here*
Desperado alert!!!
DeleteIf age is the only issue- marry him! Hopefully he his young at heart lol
DeleteIdeato u wey follow young chewing boys with Sequire nko?after hanging around various joints on d Island and meet one of ds players wey chop u clean mouth u now hv d guts to open ur disgusting Buccal Cavity,de call person desperado? U very silly!
DeleteHubby is older than me with 13 YRS and he is the bestest
DeleteAge is just a number
DeleteOntil u meat him. Gud lock!!
ReplyDeleteAh villager oooo! Not only meat him, she can chicken him or just pepper soup the guy for ease of consumption.
DeleteMrsBee
When u meat him' you will find out if he is red meat or white meat.. soft meat or hard meat.
DeleteI can't stop laughing abeg
DeleteHahahhhehehehehuhuhuhuhu.
DeleteVillager my darling!
Kikikikiki
DeleteWomen are funny, now that u have met a man who loves u, u are complaining of his age, if he was a millionaire would you have said no to his proposal, oya go and look for ur age mate dat will turn u into a punching bag.
ReplyDeletePoster I'm 29, my DH is 46, I'm the happiest woman on Earth!!! He's amazing,i couldn't ask for any other man but him. Think about your happiness and peace of mind. Age is just a number!
DeleteGod bless u!
DeleteMy candid advise is that u should wait till u meet again later in the month and if he is still as u thought then u have nothing to fear.
ReplyDeleteAnd by the way, age is nothing but a number and don't forget love conquers all
Don't waste more of his time if you can't marry him. Wait for your mate that will treat you like a trash.
ReplyDeleteSupu
DeleteWell,I would have advised you to marry him if he is rich!...
ReplyDeleteAtleast,when he retires or dies,you will have his resources and investments in raising your children...
Run!!!!.,.
Well,the choice is yours!...
If she come die before d man nko queen?
DeleteJust before, as if death is by age
DeleteQueen it has been a while. I really like you and your comments. Hahaaaaa. I always scroll down to see what you wrote on such post!.
DeleteMeet up with him first.
ReplyDeleteMost of the things we worry about never come to pass. Don't put the Carr before the horse and give yourself sleepless nights.
Meet up with him
Then decide..
Cheers
Madam age is nothing but a number.And the thing is older men always know how to take care of their women.I prefer that too.I don't know what the issue here is
ReplyDeleteNot all dear, some bring trouble more than the younger men
DeleteLovestruck you get sense die
DeleteSome older men are worse oooo
DeleteWhen I first saw your age difference, I thought you were older than him.
ReplyDeleteI'm not even worried about his age but the fact that he is not financially stable. You don't even sound like you really like him. Yes he has all the qualities of a good man and a would be husband but do you like him? At 26, I think you're not giving yourself enough room to meet other men.
Marrying well is very important dear and you should make it a priority in your quest to settle down. Don't just waltz into a marriage because one person seems like it.
Wait to meet him like you said and know if what you feel for him is real. Spend time with him, hear him speak and find out if all the phone talk is real. You've known him for a long time doesn't make him the one.
Money is very important and I'm repeating it again for a reason.
You won't start a family on love and affection.
You don't want to be burdened with it either. Your partner should have their own and be able to support the home as much as you can.
Wait till you meet him please and don't rush anything.
I loooooooooooove you😘😘😘😘😘....Come back to my bbm😢😢😢😢
DeleteThe guy is forming good guy so he can use you to better his unsettled life. At 40 he is just starting his career as a lawyer in Nigeria for that matter. Only a broke Nigga without plans and a future will be so willing to relocate to join you. That guy is a leech. Flee from him asap.
Delete@Cookie, you were on my BBM? Wawu lol. Please mail me, click on my profile.
DeleteDoppel Chop kiss I beg. @anon 17:15, bomb dey ur head o. Loool
DeleteDoppel u are good. Have u been married before? U sound like someone with so much wisdom and experience. I admire your person though
Delete@Candice 😚
Delete@anon 17:46, thank you but I'm still in my 20's and never been married. It's very easy to tell people what to do from the outside because you're not in their shoes.

DeleteOMG
DeleteDoppel gat me all the time.

DeleteWise comment.
Sure d guy got no issues? Over 40 , single? Job hunting? My sister, e get as e be.
ReplyDeleteUre right. Something is just not right n thats wat d tiny voice in her head is trying to tell her.
DeleteAge might not be the only problem here for you. The guy is yet to settle down at the age of 40, for me that cancels out everything.
ReplyDeleteLet's assume he finally gets settled down, Age might or might not be a problem for you.
Personally, I don't think you should go ahead with the marriage.
My dear Age means a lot to me.I won't use clear eye to my Big Uncle's age mate. I even calculate my children's age n mine sef.
ReplyDeleteHe isn't even loaded for you to overlook age.
Nne, how will your pre wedding photos look? How will you guys relate? Pillow fights and all. That's how this 43 year old never been married is still on my neck, but this one is rich ooooo.
Asked me to make enquiries for a G wagon he wants to gift himself for new year. But babe he isn't my spec.
He even visited y office yesterday, while he plied my route but the txt remains he is too old for me.
I can only consider an older guy if he is a rich politician, an European and loaded...
Abet who epistle epp.
Open your eyes! Age is not Just Number ooooooo 14 years is not a joke!
Give your rich friend my number 😕😕😕 I don't mind
Delete😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Continue lying,
Delete
DeleteWhat a dumba$$
Hehehe, ideato our bae, u no dey disappoint. I raise beyounce hand for you.
DeleteMadan Ideato oniro u don start Abi? Who asked you to find out about G-wagon? Liar
DeleteCookie abi o. Loool
DeleteLol! You drink too much. Give his contact to those that want it nau. Some cool stories. Lol!
DeleteCookie are you ibo? Anambra or imo. I'll ask him if he's interested
DeleteYay......ideato is back again...lol
DeleteIn a bid to sound tush, u confuse yourself... In yur words, "That's how this 43 year old never been married is still on my neck, but this one is rich ooooo" and u still say
Delete"I can only consider an older guy if he is a rich politician, an European and loaded.."
U r a fake person
A European.
DeleteA European.
A European.
Continue reciting that till it sticks!
Lmaooo PLTG u no get chill mehnn. Idiato wat d hell is an European? This geh you go school at all??? All you know is boys and staff bus. Shioorrr
DeleteU have been having bad experiences nd u want dis good guy to go. I really want u to make him stay nd d love will grow naturally.
ReplyDeleteLove will grow in a broke marriage abi? Ok. Be deceiving her
DeleteAge is just a number yeah but you don't need to marry a man you're not proud of!
ReplyDeleteLike they say on here...broke men can love for Africa! There's a possibility he's hanging onto you cos you're successful and independent. There's also a possibility he truly cares for you and wants to spend the rest of his life with you
Either way, i think the decision lies with you. You don't sound like you love the guy, you sound like you're ashamed of him. So i say free him..don't settle for less! Your man is still out there waiting... good luck
Kizzez
DeleteWhich broke men love?una never jam bad guys
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteYou self see say wetin u write to make sense...smh
DeleteYou no get problem, MMM A.K.A Moku Mogbe Modaran no chop your money.
ReplyDeleteThe age difference is not that much, if he treats you right like a queen and cares for you and your needs, I do not see any reason not to be with him!
ReplyDeleteBut there's the part you said, it's been five years you last saw him, the only thing constant in life is change.
People changes, it's inevitable, five years is a long time not to see someone, and his joining 100% is not assured after getting married. You don't wished to moved to where he is either.
Why don't you find someone else or wait for some one else to locate you! You are already doubting him, and that's not a good thing..
Poster only u said his a good man, then go for it,as my stella said age is just but a number
ReplyDeleteAge is just a number my dear
ReplyDeleteFollow your heart babe. It is well.
ReplyDeleteWait for him to get a job first. But in the mean time, spread your tentacles. If you marry without loving the guy, you will send chronicle
ReplyDelete@poster;the issue here is just A matter of "Choice" and "Decision"..
ReplyDeleteThe thing is;Some ladies like them older,whilst some prefer them younger..
If you cant see yourself tying the knot with A man of his age;then tell him straight and stand on what suits you..
Asking us to decide for you wont yield anything since you are the one "To wear" the shoe and probably "keep putting on" same shoe...
Like i said above;you alone know what you need and thus you ve got the choice to make..
#Goodluck
@MARTINS ABOY
hahahaha Poster if we have children when they reach secondary school he would have retired. Chai na wa for you.
ReplyDeleteGo and look for your agemate now. I am very sure you are afraid of what the future will hold for the two of you. 1st he is still looking for a job. You want a self made man.
Wait for the self made man to locate you
Love me jeje, is she not self-made? People need to get rid of the stupid mentality that a lady has to struggle with her bf before he can wife her. Her demands are very realistic, some one who can provide for her not a liability. Men are providers, women are helpmates. Not the other way round.
DeleteIt's a pity the Nigerian economy and life has tossed it upside down.😢
@ gicoco lovely response.
Delete👊👊👊
I like matured guys but no be 40yrs,,age might just be a number but I'll advice you don't rush into it. Five years is a hell of a long time for someone to change,if people change over night talk more or 5yrs. You can date him all over again(courtship) and yes if he has bad behavior he might hide it cos he's desperate to settle down. Pray about it.
ReplyDeleteStella, that saying dsnt always fit tight into every situation, but that being said 14yrs gap isn't so terrible to make ones jaw drop to the floor, maybe hard times & frustration has successfully added 20yrs to his look, makin him look 60..... Good thing ure comin down to xmas to see things for urself, keep an open mind, xcept you've got a better offer u didn't mention.
ReplyDeleteLeave Stella make she dey yarn dust
DeleteDon't marry him because he is good man. If you don't like him, leave him. But first let him visit. If you don't feel anything after seeing face to face again then leave it
ReplyDeleteI'll go with Stella on this one. Think about it though, what have the younger men done for you anyway?
ReplyDeleteDumbass you don't your an opinion right. .. smh
DeleteSmart mouth @ anony 16:45 crosscheck your grammar next time you are replying comments. Also, my agreeing with Stella means my opinion is similar to hers. So yes, it is my opinion. Oya, go and take a nap since you are have decided to show your childish traits today. GOD BLESS YOU!
Delete..and poverty is nothing but just a word.
ReplyDeleteStella it's not easy for male lawyers at all. He wants to practice in Nigeria? It will take him at least 3 years to stabilize.
Poster do what you really want to do. It's obvious that you may not cope in the long run.
Dear Poster, I think the age difference is your main probs here. It dosent count or matter like at all. My dad gave my mum 12 years and my sisters hubby gave her 14 years. They are all still together and rocking..It's not a new thing at all so don't miss this man with the good qualities you mentioned above. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteoh children are truly a gift frm God..... their was a fire accident in my street today.... a house beside ours... so I rushed to Carry my 3yrs nephew out... imagine while running carrying him all he was shouting was Jesus Jesus Jesus wit dis tiny voice ...oh it really melt my hrt...now I wonder... how does a 3 yrs old knws Dt Gods name saves...sad we lost a tenant...he was drunk and was sleeping wen De fire started
ReplyDeleteOh, how impressive is that 3year old shouting Jesus. God bless his parents for such upbringing. Give him Sdk blog love for me.
DeleteMrsBee
40 26.
ReplyDeleteMake I read comments.
WELL SPOKEN STELLZ GOOD AFTERNOON HUNNIE BUNCH @POSTER AGE AS AUNTY STELLZ SAID IS NOTHING BUT A NUMBER IT IS NOT A DETERMINING FACTOR. DO U LOVE HIM ENOUGH TO SPEND TILL ETERNITY WITH HIM? THATS THE FIRST THING, IF U ARE WORRIED HE WOULD BE OLD AND RETIRED BY THE TIME U PEOPLE HAVE KIDS, CONSIDERING HE IS READY TO RELOCATE FOR U AND ALL THEN THATS THE DEDICATION YOU NEED TO GUIDE HIM THROUGH A CAREER PART THAT WOULD BE BENEFICIAL TO BOTH OF YOU IN THE LONG RUN I FEEL HE IS A GOOD MAN WHEN YOU TRUELY ANSWER THE FIRST QUESTION I HAVE ASKED TRUST ME THAT ANSWER FILLS ALL THE MISSING VOIDS. @STELLZ MY LOVE AM ALWAYS WAITING FOR THE MEETING POINTS TODAY OWN NO SWEET ME RA RA AND I DELAYED MY LUNCH SO I COULD READ IT. PLUS SADLY I MISSED OUT ON THE SINGLES AND MINGLE AM STILL CRYING. WELL LET ME GO AND EAT LOVE YOU PLENTY STELLZ GOD BLESS U DEARIE
ReplyDeleteIs that why you are shouting??? Hian!!
DeleteUse punctuation next time Biko, no blind person
Damn stop screaming.
DeleteHahahahah...
DeleteYay...i finally have a blog id.
DeleteWhy don't you wait till you see him to take a decision. You are talking from what you know 5years ago. Learn who he is now after you must have met and based your decision on what you would have known. Age might be just a number, but for some it is not. Whatever you do, don't be desperate.
ReplyDeleteAge is nothing but a number but my dear...
ReplyDeleteSpeechless
U can forget about the age o, but a man that is not financially stable at 40? Ha!
DeleteMy sister, be careful. He's even ready to relocate to where you are? He is a fucking leech.
Leave that lazy old fool abeg.
So my best friend did not come for both my traditional and white wedding,and weeks after, she has not called to say congrats or say why she didn't come. Am I wrong to be angry?
ReplyDeleteNB: she s married and I was her chief bridesmaid.
Learn to let people go when they choose to go!!
DeleteAlso, learn to not be upset with people when you don't hear from them, you never know what battle is in their life.
The success of your marriage isn't dependent of a bff's presence or absence, grow up!!
If she eventually calls or shows up, understand her excuse if she gives one otherwise just live.
You can call her to find out if she's fine too, real friends don't wait for who calls first and I'd choose to be kind over being right. Congrats on your big day.
MrsBee
Them plenty oo... she might call months later and be giving stupid stories . Bad belle people everywhere and they will be the ones claiming holier than thou . Just know how to put her in her place be careful around her
DeleteMay be she is affected by MMM😃
Delete@Galore
She might be going through tough time...don't judge her yet.
DeleteDon't judge her please.People are going through alot nd sometimes they need space to breathe..
DeleteWhen I saw the header "When Age Stands Between" I assumed U were older than the guy until I read the full story....People's time to be blessed are different. You can see his potentials and know if his hustle is paying/will pay soon....5 years ago he was chasing you what was he doing then still in school? There is a saying that it is better to cry in a Lamborghini than in a Volkswagen....love without money kills love. You have not said anything about loving him just him loving you.
ReplyDeleteHe plans to relocate to be with you...to do what?...Does he have a job waiting or he wants to be with you while you foot all the bills till he gets a job?
My friend look at the pros and cons and don't let pity blind you...ProudlyDeltan
Stella why do you like to insult men anyhow? I don't like the way you talked to the guy that sent his Chronicle yesterday on ur IHN today. Anyways! I don't blame you... I blame some foolish senseless guys are still sending their problems to you for advice.
ReplyDeleteGbam!!!
DeleteLeave Stella with her opinion. The truth is bitter.
DeleteFirst take it to God in prayers.
ReplyDeleteLike Stella said age is nothing but a number. When I married my husband he was way older, my wanted to object because of age self but in the end it was one of the best decisions I ever made. Luckily
ReplyDeleteMy husband is one the small side so his age doesn't even tell on him. I married him because he loves and adores me to bits. So if that man loves you my dear go ahead. There will be ups and downs But trust me U will enjoy your marriage...... Talking from experience.... WISH YOU LUCK
Talking from experience abi? But ur husband wasn't jobless or was he? U moved to meet him not him coming to meet u abi?
DeletePls read the story again and advise her ma. Thank u
Fat fool Jasmine... I am sure your parents are poor. It's people like you that carry money for head.
DeleteYou didn't mention anything about if YOU love him. Don't settle.
ReplyDeletePoster you don't love him simple.
ReplyDeleteFollow your heart.
U should forget his age and focus on d fact that he loves you, u should also pray. I don't think his age should be your problem, ure not getting any younger yourself
ReplyDeleteShe is not getting any younger so she should marry a jobless man? Tufia
DeleteMarriage is a life time journey, if you make a mistake it will be a life time mistake.
ReplyDeleteAsk yourself what exactly you want from the man
I like how you said you are ready to pick your battles, poster after a while someone has to compromise. It's not ideal but what can one do? Age is just a number but it has serious implications, you can do somethings to help yourself. Firstly if u marry him, bear in mind that you might end up being a single mother so you have to be financially independent. Also ensure you don't have more than two kids but really God's ways are not our ways. My mom married someone that was 20 years older than her, my dad used to say when he dies my mum will still have about 30 yrs to live but surprise surprise my mum died 15 yrs ago and my dad is still alive and well. You might marry someone just a few years older or even your age mate and he dies young my point is there are no guarantees in life and even the best laid plans do fail. It's your life and you have to do what you feel is best in the end.
ReplyDeleteHmmmm....
DeleteI hope you read this.
DeletePoster, I was in a similar situation last year. I was just 25, no sensible suitors and realised sometimes a woman has to compromise. Started dating a man that was 40, he has a good job and never been married. I didn't like his looks or the age gap but I was ready to accept him since I didn't have better offers. I had similar concerns like how a 40 yr old willjust get married and start having children. The deal breaker for me was the fact that the guy was a virgin at 40! BTW, I was also a 25 yr old virgin but at least I'm a lady. I started to worry that he was impotent and so broke up with him since there was no way I could test before marriage and didn't want to enter one chance.
DeleteHahahaah
DeleteHmmmmm, na wa ooo
DeleteDude is jobless!!! Ha!
DeleteU should forget his age and focus on d fact that he loves you, u should also pray. I don't think his age should be your problem, ure not getting any younger yourself
ReplyDeleteDrop his number
ReplyDelete0803-Go-and-find-ur-own.
DeleteWhen you meet him,of course your perception will to negative
ReplyDeleteWhy don't you put this to God in prayers and let him reveal His will concerning this man. Meet him up when he comes for Christmas. I feel you are worrying yourself unnecessarily.
ReplyDeleteLol@pursuing you, where was he pursuing you to? Hehehehe
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, just meet up with him as you have planned, you never know your perception might change for good.
On the other hand, I use to be like you when it comes to age, I did the same math you did (before your kids will get to college, he must have retired), and then you are left with the responsibility. Well, in my case , I didn't go for the man o jareh. I cannot come and shout for this obodo ndi ozo.
Think smart, consider every options, you are not that old. Goodluck
My dear it's about prospects not just the present. My fiance is a third year law student while I'm working already though with a private company. Before now he was a successful business man before things took a twist and yet he still stood up for himself to put his life together. He's older than me by 18 years and I'm not bothered because I'm interested in the content. Yet you are complaining about someone who has been called to bar while you are earning money in foreign currency. It's up to you to choose but I'd advise that you look beyond his earnings and consider the type of family you both will establish
ReplyDeleteSo she should choose to be a bread winner like u already av? Lol
DeleteI'm not complaining my dear. A lot of women train their husbands. In fact I pride in what I'm doing.Have no regrets
DeleteIf he is not buoyant enough you support him. Shebi you said you are established.
ReplyDeleteAge is nothing but a number. Give this man a chance...
ReplyDeleteMarry him
ReplyDeleteStella this lady is on her way to becoming aunty gwegs. Keep choosing and placing age difference as part of ur nassicist psychopathic standard. U are talking about children being in college and retirement!!! Jerez u women just judge a man for today forgetting that tomorrow that same man can hammer all the dumb ass money u have worked for in 35years. mummy u don't need any advise abeg. Continue to wash ur mother's clothes in her house.
ReplyDeletePls she is not an aunty gwegs..pls feel free to marry for uncle's agemate who can not even take care of you..Poster pls follow your heart and bear the consequences alone
DeleteIf u love him, go ahead.
ReplyDelete@ SDK...you say wetin? You for wait for your husband to clock 70 before you marry am nah? Why didn't you take your own advice? Madam...unless you have a history of ancestral spirits, leave that man ALONE!!! Like you sensibly said, you don't want to raise kids and pay college tuition with pension. Look for your age bracket
ReplyDeleteAge is nothing but a number dear its the maturity that matters.
ReplyDeletePersonally i love my men older.
Chai,mature minds please advice here well. Let me read comments
ReplyDeleteMy dear poster, I feel you should follow your heart and let that man be your Knight in Shining Armor. you Dont have to worry about his age all u should pray for is that your marriage should last. If you are submissive enough then you can support financially till he is fully on his feet. Dont worry about your children's education God will take care of it. But seek the Face of God before you do anything. God bless you.
ReplyDelete#olori
Age is a number..but the Same BV go deyy abuse @Dabota and others who married older men
ReplyDeleteGod punish devil
@Galore
I as a woman have always had a thing for marrying a man much older than I am. Not a married man, widower or divorcee,just someone older. But I guess we're all different.
ReplyDeleteYou should decide this yourself. If everything else works, age isn't a problem to me. Make your decision based on how you feel, not when his career started,some people blossom in the late stages of their lives.
Hopefully your perspective of him changes after the meeting. Age is nothing if he is not the type that acts like daddy.
ReplyDeleteIf all things work out well, give birth sharply with little age gap so that he will actively be in their lives. Of what good is an irresponsible young father, God forbid.
He needs a stable job if he wants to start a family soon, you both can consider business by the side as well to boost your comfort.
Please what age is retirement age in Nigeria?
MrsBee
My dear just accept him that way & stop looking at his age. Try & organise several dates with him to know him better face to face. At least that will help in making your final decision
ReplyDeleteMadam, you are still young. By the time you hit 30. You will be asking us , who can plan a small stylish wedding.
ReplyDeleteOh dear,you should meet 1st cos pple canpretend to be all perfectover the phone...for d age ish its at ur advantage cos he's more experience and might overlook what a younger guy won't overlook..
ReplyDeleteFollow your heart biko
ReplyDeleteIf your heart isn't in this, don't do it
Oh dear, you should meet 1st cos pple can pretend to be all perfect over the phone...with the age ish its really nothing to be worried about..its jus a number..he just might be experience to overlook what a younger guy cant..
ReplyDeleteJoke Silva's hubby is 19 years older than her and I think they have a good marriage.
ReplyDeleteChallenges will come no doubt but I mean you guys can weather it. Besides God can give him a lift in one day to last you a life time.
The most important thing is pray.
My dear not financially stable at 40? just getting career started at 40 and never been married ? pls watch this man carefully.
ReplyDeleteAt 26 pls don't be desperate to marry this man at d drop of a hat you still have time.
I don't have a problem with his age, but I have a problem with a man that isn't financially stable still job hunting wanting to get married. Even if he's 30 I wld say be careful.
Jobs are so hard to get right now. Let him get a job first, save sum money, them u can even consider him. Don't be the bread winner at ur young age.
Seconded
DeleteGbam!!! Don't be a bread winner at this young age o coz u will do it till u die. Hmmm, i've warned u sha
Deletemy dear Please go with Martins Aboy's advice..Yes Age is nothing but a number..But you have got to weigh your options..he may be a good man but is he good enuff for you to marry..See him first, spend some time with him and also pray very well, try to get him upset to see his reaction.. My dear people change , the man u saw in your 100 level is gonna be different from the man now..Now is the time to apply wisdom, caution and patience..Dont be compelled by anyone to marry when you don't want to.
ReplyDeletePoster, Age is nothing but a number but I think your main concern is that he is not financially stable. Y is he relocating to b with you or for you to pay his bills. It is better to cry in a rangy than a peogeout 504.
ReplyDeleteThanks Chinny baby..Poster abeg receive sense
DeleteMy dad gave me an Advice when I first met my broke and loving ex. He said "you never know a man until he is standing on his own two feet". True to form as soon as this idiot stood on his own two feet after I spent all my money on him and sent him abroad and paid for his wedding to his american wife. Lo and behold. guy standing on his own two feet....guy starts to say.....my family say..... this same family wen no wan know you wen you were begging o for money for visa and money for food...all of a sudden.. family say.... my dear... your man might be different but from my own experience... a broke nigga will love and worship your arse like you are his God....so use your judgement and pray he doesn't change. Gamble and wait till he becomes someone then you can see his true colour but right now he depends on you so he needs to be the nicest man you know....
ReplyDeleteHow many times will y'all ladies be told...NEVER KEEP A MAN?!? If he can't take care of himself, talk more of you, he's got no business looking for love. You tried to "buy" him over and he exploited your gullibility & the end result is your heartbreak. Learn from your mistakes
Deletehahahaha Ideato the babe. I gbadun you very much. Choi

ReplyDeleteMy sisteh , he may be a good person maybe his ancestors are yet to release him into prosperity. We cannot conclude at this point until you meet with him.

ReplyDeleteMy hubby is 15yrs my senior. No regrets, will chose him over and over again. Age is just a number., Your happiness comes first!
ReplyDeleteBut ur husband has a job
DeleteAge is not the main koko in marriage but love, respect and money matters alot than age. Older men can take better care of a woman than younger men. Fellow your heart and make sure you marry a man that loves you more than you love him.

ReplyDeleteThe secret of a long and lasting relationship is to marry a man that loves you and not a man that you think you love. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteLife starts at 40 for a man so I don't know what you want,
