Yes, we dated for 4 years as students, proposed to her after my NYSC when I secured a job, met her family, discussed my intention and they felt we are not on the same level (full of themselves), later they even claimed that they went to investigate my family in our village and they were told that mental illness runs in our lineage.
They convinced her to abandon our marriage plans which she did instead of fighting for us, I asked her to refund part of the bulk money I gave to her for the marriage preparation which she later did because I wanted a proper closure to the relationship, felt really humiliated, locked myself inside and cried, washed my face and told myself it was time to move on.

Deleted her from my phone, never scooped around her social media handles, put aside all our pictures together under a locker and didn't worry myself about her anymore.

Started another relationship with a lady I was close to as friends who was very ionate about me but I didn't look at her because I was faithful to my ex.

Suddenly from the blues, my ex elder sister called me after some months that she has been erratic, cursing everyone for making her to abandon the love of her life and that the family has agreed to our plans for marriage.

Later she called me asking for forgiveness and that it was an Uncle of mine who told her family that mental illness runs in our family because he felt I was marrying into a prominent family and to a girl who works in a big establishment while his own children are scattered.

I simply told her I have moved on and wasn't gonna look back and had already started marriage plans with the lady I mentioned earlier and I even invited her to the superlative wedding we were planning in an exquisite location then.
I used the opportunity to tell her that I am wiser now as I go for only ladies who stand by their men because I am afraid if I show any signs of madness (as my uncle told her family) instead of taking me to a psychiatrist hospital, she will rather take me to a market square so that the madness will become permanent.

Today we are both married to different people and talk freely on general topics anytime she calls me, but I totally avoid making any reference to our 4 years failed relationship to avoid Okafors Law.
Wao...

To be honest, it takes the grace of God to see a lady that will stand by you even though the whole world is against you.

Most ladies are easily brainwashed by their families whenever they're not in of her relationship.

I'm happy you both settled down happily.

Yes, I had to call off the engagement due to bad character and constant malice, she was very very domineering.


You SEE that DOMINEERING wey you MENTION... I hate it like KILODE....
Because I'm the RESERVED AND OBSERVANT TYPE, they'll think they've seen MUMU not knowing that I STING LIKE A BEE...
Imagine a GIRL brought out a TOPIC you know DEEPLY and feel INSULTED because YOU CORRECTED HER and even have the GUT to ask YOU... how did you KNOW?.....

Why would you date someone you can't marry?

I thought dating is the stepping stone to engagement, then marriage...No?

Yes bro.
We married people we were compatible with. It didn't mean others were bad people. No, they weren't. We didn't use them either.

* Spiritual forces perhaps..

* Early discovery of an error you about to make (officially ing a union with someone who's completely different from what you know/used to know about them..

* When one wrong spoils/destroys all the right /good things they've done so far..

Thank God for my woman cool, she ed all the tests( including the ones I didn't mention)...

Got Engaged to someone who had asked me out years ago ,I wasn't interested but I felt he had been persistent enough ....

Next thing he said as a good Christian he will wait till after the wedding to consummate

It sounded great till someone hinted he may be hiding a health problem

She was right! D was tiny finger small & man cums in 10seconds

He also wanted me to forge some important docs ,I realised our values are very different.... Returned his ring & took a walk


Modified

Many of you on this Forum have very minute (pronounced Mai-nute) reasoning capacities

If he will lie & want to con me into a marriage despite knowing his challenges & short comings ,you don't think that is a MASSIVE RED FLAG ?

If he will further buttress such terrible values by asking that we forge important documents,that's not enough to walk away ? Better still RUN AWAY?

To whom a brain is allocated ,sense is expected

This is in response to everyone who mentioned me earlier

The mum... ''i want my mum to be happy"

He never stated the reason for the break up, guess she wanted him to marry from their place... cos the next lady(same state as me) he engaged, he still did not marry.
