Dear LIB readers: How do I survive my ex-boyfriend's wedding day?

I woke up to this email this morning...from a LIB reader
We have a three year old son together, my ex and I were together for six years until we broke up April last year. I was hoping for a reconciliation because I still love him but he met another woman late last year and their introduction and traditional wedding is this Thursday and Saturday. I didn't even know they were serious like that because he was still a part of my life. He treated me like he still loved me and totally hid his plans from me until the last minute. I am angry and devastated and do not know if I will survive this weekend. Short of killing myself, I don't know what else to do. Please share this with your readers, I need help.
Sad situation. Please she needs advice...

  4. My dear, before u do anything that u would regret, think about ur son. As for what you baby daddy did, it's just something guys do. They form Love for you whereas they are planning their marriage. Move on, yours will find you. Take it that you weren't meant to be.

  5. Put evrything in prayers.Mayb he wasn't meant for you.take urself out for a treat and look up to God.God wud send you that man that is for you.take it easy dear.It is well

  6. You were together for six years and had a child together and he didn't marry you but he's marrying someone he just met late last year? Its hard but you must hear it. That relationship only existed in your head. You were clearly just a passig phase that produced a child. Please do not kill yourself. We win some and lose some. Move on. Yeah I know its easier said than done but you must try. Think of your son. Turn to God. I know it seems unlikely right now but trust me, in the end all will be well. Goodluck.

  8. This is d reason why I find this trend of male celebs knocking women up, highly irritating. Like wtf! Guys STOP Branding the chics you know u won't marry at the end of the day. Leave her alone or date from a distance so she can explore other options. This is an act of wickedness. In any case, to the poster, try to pull urself 2geda, attend d wedding and pull a WEDDING CRASHER stunt on his stupid ass.....Or do the Steph Idahosa style in RELOADED.....that's my own advice for u.

I CAN'T TELL YOU NOT TO HURT COS I KNOW WHAT U'RE GOING THRU BUT ONE THING IS THAT ONCE THEY'RE MARRIED, U'LL GRADUALLY GET HIM OFF UR MIND. A SIMILAR INCIDENT HAPPENED TO ME BUT WITHOUT THE CHILD AND I WAS DEVASTATED FOR YEARS BUT CAME TO THE SHOCKING REALITY WHEN HE GOT MARRIED. MY DEAR,PLS JUST TRY TO DO STH FUN THIS WEEKEND. START PLANNING TODAY SO THAT U WON'T HAVE THE CAUSE TO BE LONELY COS THAT'S WHEN U CAN DO STH SILLY. JUST TRY HARD TO BE BUSY OR HAVE FUN FROM TODAY. TRY TO BURY URSELF IN WORK OR STH, TRUST ME, IT WILL BE DIFFICULT BUT U'LL SUCCEED IF YOU PUT UR MIND TO IT AND PLS HAVE LOADZ OF FUN. HANG OUT WITH FRNDS. GO STAY WITH A VERY GOOD FRND WHO CAN HELP YOU THRU THIS. PLS DON'T HURT URSELF COS HE'LL STILL BE HAPPY WHEREVER HE IS SHOULD ANYTHING BAD HAPPEN TO YOU. THINK ABOUT UR CHILD AND FIND SOLACE IN HER OKAY. GOD WILL SEE YOU THROUGH.

  18. I empathiez with her but she can't force him to love her. He may love her in a different way as she is the mother of his child. He will always be in her life. Thats the best she will get. she should try to heal and open herself up to another relationship. There is someone out there looking to love her and make her his Queen.

  19. You just have to move on my dear,u can't do anything about it,once dere is life dere is hope,put it in prayers something better is on its way,all hope may seem lost now but hold on,

  22. My dear, eti e melo (listen very well with your 2 ears)... Do NOT harm yourself in ANY way!!! You have your child to live for and as painful as it is if you do kill yourself, SHE will raise him and who knows how he will be treated??? I was in a similar situation though I didn't have a child for my ex but I was pained nonetheless. Today, i am happily married with children of my own... Men will come and go but your child will always be with you... Be strong, this 'pain' too will pass, the sun ALWAYS comes out no matter how hard the rain!!!

  23. Move on dear! Get on with your life. You'll meet someone new.

  25. Go and hug a transformer madam.Were u still having sex with him?See,if a man has moved on,aint nothing you can do but to move on too...all the best.

  26. Its a very sad story and may God heal your heart.. But if it was meant to be it would have.. You gave him a child, your body and your heart but still he chose to be with another... Can't you see that God just delivered you from a future of hurts and pains... If he loved you genuinely he would have stayed no matter what. So forget about him and move on with your life no grudge against hime.. You'd still find love but only if you believe and move your heart on from this guy... There's nothing else you can do but forgive him and live your life happily from now on...

  30. Listen ladies men don't appreciate women who throw themselves @ 'em. Your worth vanishes when you do that. I'm a man so I know. There's nothing you can do because he's moved on to the next victim so move on too & get a life while at it.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Much as I'd like to empathise with her, has she asked herself what will become of her child or is she so concerned & consumed by herself that she's forgotten she's responsible for someone now?
    Life will & always continues, she needs to continue with her life & nurture the gift of the child she has. I understand how painful it is & how hurt she must feel, trust me I do as I've had my fair share of heartache/heartbreak but God is faithful! Ur very own man will come along soon & until he does keep living life!

  32. Ah! Since last year? 3 words my darling! Life goes on! You guys were never meant to be so have faith in God and your husband will surely come your way soon. Sorry!

  33. ha, she wants to kill herself over man when she has a child to live for? She needs to refocus her energy abeg.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Awwww, sorry dear, you need to move on,don't let him eat his cake and have it, I'm sure he's gonna come back and tell you all sorts of lies and ask you to be second fiddle,move on, find another man,its not the end of the world.

  35. psweeechhhh!

  36. If you knew u still loved him why didn't u tell him. Chances are he loved u too but felt u didn't love him anymore since u didn't voice out when he started dating someone else. Its also possible u feel like this now only cos u know he is now permanently out of reach. Some people are like that; they let someone go and still do not want the person to move on. Its called holding on to what you feel is familiar. But u know what? Finders keepers baby!! You snooze, you loose. Move on with your life dearie, there is someone out there waiting to love u. Only next time, make sure u say what's on ur mind cos except the person is psychic, he won't be able to read ur mind. Best wishes..

  37. my dear such is life, you should move on he was only treating you nicely becos u r d mother of his child notin more. in life we should accept certain challenges n make the best of ourselves not allowing pple to mock you,cos dey is a man out dere who will appreciate n care for you much beta, for wat is not meant to be cant be. if he loves u so dearly he would have reconciled wit u than carrying on into anoda relationship. the signs were dey but u chose not to see dem. u could survive it all d while he has been dating this lady,aint u alive its becos u heard abt their marriage plans u want to kill yourself(kill your self nau)dont forget you have a wonderful child to carter for if u decide to kill yourself remember u have given anoda woman the license of taking care of our first off spring. pls try n move on if a man can treat u dat way he dont deserve you cos he will also do so to the next even though he wouldnt get seperated from is marriage but is attitude n behaviour wouldnt change

  38. Hii dear, there are so many women that have been in your shoes. You wouldn't die I can assure you. Try to find comfort with friends and family who love you or do something fun with your son this weekend. Then focus on making yourself better career wise, spiritually financially etc. Your happiness should not be tied to an human being. Focus on God

    ReplyDelete
  39. you need to accept the fact that he has moved on, though it hurts but you cant change things anyway, because his mind is made up already. just pray he still takes care of you and your child's up keep!

    ReplyDelete
  40. Oh dear, Sorry girl. Please don't do anything to yourself. Think of your child. She comes first. it is unfortunate you didn't get the time to get over him before he is marrying another. But believe me, it is not to late to get over him. You can start today. Let him go little by little. Let him go to allow the blessings in your life to flow and come to you. Let him go, to allow the man who will be a blessing in your life to come your way. You can survive this situation. He is not the blessing meant for your life and you are not the blessings meant for his life. Let him go, so yours can come to you. Please do not question why he was still being caring and loving towards you, even when he knew he was going to settle with another,a lot of men do that nowadays. The thing is that most of us women need to learn to let men go once they jump into another relationship. Please believe me, when I tell you, you are not the only one who has been thru what are experiencing now. A lot of women have been thru it and survived. So you will be okay. grieve if you need to, but do not harm yourself. You will marry someone better than your ex; but first you have to let your feelings for you ex go and open your heart to the blessings in your future.

  42. My dear I no it is killing because I have passed through that ordeal before but In my case I had no child for him but I went out with my for twelve years, mor than half of my live I lived on earth. He was everything to me, then he got some girl pregnant and decided to marry her, I thought I would die but I didn't dear, I will tell u wat I did to survive him on d wkend of his wedding, I mourned him like a dead man, I buried him in my mind and ever nice then, he has remained dead to me. That was a year ago, am now planning my marriage with d most wonderful man in d world, I give God thanks everyday for not making me marry d idiot. My dear look on the bright side and alws remember dat this too shall pass, it alws dose. Don't kill urself for a looser, will see y God removed him frm u someday.

  43. awwwww darling ds is so sad....but guess wot? every broken heart can be mended if u allow God do d work. u cnt possibly kill urself. ur 3yr old son needs u, ur family needs u, ur frnds need u, and above all, God needs u. tell Jesus to take d wheel in ur life and sit back and watch the wonder u'll become. 've bn heart broken b4..jst ds yr even..i thot 'll neva survive it but i did and 'm happy nw..cos i knw d future holds better things for me.

  45. I totally understand what u are going thru I was bitter, angry n depressed for months but it gets beta killing urself will not stop the union so u need to pull it 2geda for the sake of ur child, friends n family that love u. Start ur steps to recovery today its a long n difficult road but u'll get thru it so u can enjoy a healthy relatnsp once again. Dnt do what I did take anger, frustration, fear of rejection n fear of not bn good enuff to the next reltnsp cos men see those things n categorize them as baggage n u dnt want to start a new reltnsp on dat note. I blive God has beta plan for us n will give us someone beta n more deserving of our love.

  46. As much as it is tempting to say,u shudnt have had a baby with him before marriage,or call u silly for hanginin on to ur hope, I know better babygirl,in aretha franklins voice "a rose is still a rose,baby girl you've got the power,he can leave you,and try and break you,but you have the power" its hard I know,but take your life into your own hands,if your not d praying type,please pray in however way you know how to,God sees our hearts and hears every prayer no matter how unconventional.you will be amazed at how much pain can go away from just the singular act of talking to a higher being.pick yourself up and live for your child.self pity and depression kill.prayers and best wishes are with you.

  47. Get over it. If u die over a man it doesn't stop him frm gettin married. U wil only make ur child suffer cuz nobody wil take care of d child beta dan u.

  50. What can you do Hun,sometimes life is sad. One thing I know for sure is yours will come, obviously his mind is made up prolly why he kept it away from you. I can't give u d best advice all I can say is 'jide obi gi aka' be strong , do not try to disrupt or cause any trouble, surround your self with people that genuinely love u if that helps, or lock urself in ur room n ve an alone time, whatever makes you better. Pray to God to shield your heart n compensate you with yours. Hugs.

  51. My dear, with time you will heal. Your life is far more precious and think of your beautiful child who needs a happy mum. You will soon find someone else who will wipe your tears away.

    ReplyDelete
  52. You know what you should do. Go to the spa and relax, get a nice massage.

    Bitterness and unforgiveness is like drinking poison and expecting your enemy to die. So all these emotions are killing you, while your ex is celebrating his life.

    You have a child. Look at all the things in your life to be thankful for. Give thanks. Play a CD of songs and gbedu jare. Speak great things into your life. Words have power.

    He did't tell you earlier cos he know you would react this way.

    Move on, clean break. Don't call him or reach out to him. Allow yourself to heal. Love yourself. Smile :)

    Your life is not defined by any man. It is defined by God and the choices you make.

    Oya wrap your hands around your self and give your self a hug.

    Kisses and Hugs

  53. I’m so sorry to hear about your situation. I know how devastating and demoralizing it can be. I happen to be someone who can relate more than most because I found myself in a similar situation. The difference is I don’t have a kid with him.

    So, how did I get through it?
    - I prayed a lot for God to give me the ability to forgive him (holding on to the bitterness and resentment will do you know good).
    - I prayed for God to heal my broke heart
    - Seek emotional support from trusted friends that won’t judge you or tell you to just get over it. Better yet, seek godly counsel.
    - I had to realize that it wasn’t meant to be because if it was I would have been the one he wanted to marry
    - I had to come to realize I actually dodged a MAJOR bullet – I don’t want to be with a guy who has the ability to mislead someone to that magnitude while committed to someone else.

    I’ve come to understand that human emotions are complex, but making life decision like whom you want to spend your life with is actually very easy. He probably does love you – you’re the mother of his child. I don’t doubt that you hold a special place in his heart. However, he’s just not in love with you, which he obviously is with the girl he decided to marry. Don’t feel sorry for yourself. You’re allowed to cry and mourn the fact that there is no reconciliation, but don’t dwell on it too long. Focus on God and your child and God will bring someone else along. Trust me!! Someone that will be beyond what you ever expected and will make you thank God that you never married your ex.

    With that said, for this coming weekend don’t be spend your time alone. You’ll drive yourself nuts if you do. Spend time with your friends and family. Then on Monday, look at the pictures on FB or wherever, cry, pray and move on. Life goes on!! Yes, I still think about my ex sometimes, you can't just erase all the years you spent with the person. For you, you have a child to worry about. I’ve come to learn that my destiny is never tied to someone who chooses to walk away from me. I’m a living testimony that God really does give you what is best for you if you trust Him. You need to do this for the child you have together. You can't have a healthy co-parenting relationship if you're still in love him. Good luck and I wish you the best!

  54. i always advise people to make motions to correct arguments and fights.esp when you dont think you are ready to move on. Pride should never have a case to play in these situations. First you need to accept this and try to be happy for him. You also need to discuss the care of your child and that should be of utmost importance. Lesson learned here is to be patient and cheerier so that Mr Right isn't scared off again. But Finally Just get on your Knees and Pray to the wonderful counsellor.

  55. I know some of what u r feeling if not all.When I experienced heartbreak,I took comfort from God and great friends i had around.Believe me,i might hurt like crazy now but it shall pass.Take heart,be strong,hang in there.It's not the end of the world.Taking your life is not an option cos no one is worth taking your life over.Besides,it doesn't solve anything.Talk to ur close friends and family,don't stay alone,thinking.Doesn't help. God bless u dear,i pray He gives u the strength to hang on.Amen.

  56. i feel strongly you should move on, if he has a baby with u and he wasnt still excited on spending the rest of his life with you, den why push it..i had a similar situation but baby wasnt involved..we had an issue and before i knew he had gone to pay bride price, i was staying in his house, i wept like my world has crashed.But today am strong,am married, my hubby adores me and God has been faithful.its tough, but my darling its his loss and your gain..God is up to something, just trust in him.cos dere is this peace wen u run to him

  62. My dear, I suggest you deal with it because there's nothing you can do. I know it is hard but you can do it. Remember that you have a young child who needs his mommy. That should be your priority. If you can leave town for the weekend and have fun with your son, please do it! Life is too short to worry yourself over a human being. God will comfort you.

  63. Well, its a really sad situation but I don't think is worth killing urself. If it was God's plan 4 u guys 2b am sure u will b in a different position nw; but its nt cos he has sum1 far beta. Meanwhile how abt ur son?

    ReplyDelete
  71. it is easy to say 'just move on' but my dear, get ready to have the two worse days of your life. Try and get occupied, dont see any pictures until later and finally allow yourself cry a bucket. There is a reason why u guys broke up a year ago, favour awaits you and i pray for you that it wouldnt be too long.

  75. Babe, it's obvious the guy has moved on. You've separated so you shouldn't expect him to tell you all his plans.
    So pick up the remaining pieces of your live and move on too.

  79. My dear, you have to take heart, its not worth killing yourself for, trust me, all you need do is try and have a word with him,let out all you feel, hear him out and let go, your man will locate you, to LOVE is NOTHING, to be LOVED is SOMETHING and to be LOVED by the one you love EVERYTHING.....that's pure, you need to be strong for your son...he alone shuld be able to give u a reason to LIVE, dnt forget that, TRUST ME HE HAS A SON WIV YOU, THE FIRST PRODUCT OF HIS MANHOOD, YOU STILL DEFINITELY HAVE A BOND WITH HIM, AND HE STILL HAS THAT SAME BOND WITH YOU....cheers!!!!!

  81. Sorry darling
    He has done what he chose to and has decided to be with someone else
    Please try and move on
    You could call up a friend who understands the situation and spend the day with her -not a him!
    And she could also stay over the night so u don't think about it..
    Then again, you need to tell yourself that he's doing what he is because he chose to ..and not because there is something wrong with you..and if he's marrying someone else there isn't anything you could have done about it or can do now because u already have a son for him..if that didn't hold him down, nothing else save juju which we all know is bad will..
    So cheer up and best believe there is someone out there who will love you and your son as well..

  82. The choices we make...

    Darling, your ex-boyfriend will never stop being a part of your life since you have a 3-year old son together. However, he has chosen to be with someone else which is quite alright but unfair (and in my opinion, irresponsible...but that's just me).

    I know how you feel. You just want to die and leave the sadness behind because it is eating you up. But if he didn't choose you, he doesn't deserve your blood. His new wife will not let him give you the expected "minute-of-silence" in which, you assume, he might right regret his choices and actions. The truth is that your death will not change their honeymoon plans.

    I have just one advise for you. Run to family and loved ones, and stay with them until you recover. Elsewhere in the world, you would have been recommended to a head doctor for therapy. But your family can give you all the therapy you need, if you let them know the source of your sorrow. Feel free to mourn your loss and let it all out dear. Then shake it off, and move on. If love never finds you again, love your son with all your heart and teach him how not to treat a woman.

    You also need to start each day, live through it and end it in prayer. It is not something you should do as part of your day... let your day have meaning because you are constantly in conversation with God.

    The thing with times like this is that THEY WILL ALWAYS PASS.

    Stay alive for those who love you and need you in their lives day and night...Styl Plus.

  83. Taking your life is not an option and I must say selfish of u to think like that. It hurts believe me when I say I know, But you have to stay strong if for nothing else, for the sake of your son. Find solace in him, you are responsible for him right now, teach him how to treat women so that he does not end up putting more women the state you are in right now.
    On a lighter note, there are many fishes in the ocean but only one fish is meant for you. Your ex bf was not the fish meant for u

  90. So sorry to hear this love. Honestly, your story brought tears to my eyes and I said a prayer for you. If you don't want to attend, you don't have to. What I would advise is that you do what you WANT to do. If you feel you must speak with him, do so. E.g you can express your disappointment/betrayal to him. He should have told you he was getting married earlier and you still loved him and thought a reconciliation was possible. If you feel this won't rob you of your dignity, do say but if you feel you will regret it, don't!! All I will say is, clock is ticking, don't wait until it is too late and don't do any action or inaction that you will regret. God be with you. Let His will be done. AMEN

  95. Be strong, like all things, it will come to pass, u will also meet someone else and life will go on. Twice I went through that, each time felt like the end of the world, but i cried to my God and He listened to me. I moved on, although yet to get married, but I am so over them. Hang in there, u have to put your son before your feelings. Absolutely no man is worth a woman's tears talk less of life, so take that thought out of your mind and heart, if u kill ure self, he wouldn't even feel nothing, and just continue with his wife. Also, when he comes back, (they always do, becoz after a while, men always get bored), better not have him back, tell him to go back to his wife. my 2 cents!

  98. If you dated for 6 yrs and you guys didn't get married nd he met another lady within a year and planning a wedding with her, dt should tell you something. It wasn't meant to be.
    Why on earth would u even think of dying, u have a baby dt loves u unconditionally and looks up to. Thinking of death alone makes u a selfish mother. Brush yourself of, give yourself and your baby a fantastic life and in all your ways, acknowledge God.

  99. it will not be easy but pray to ur God and hold him hard. God may be saving u from problem but u dont know it. just let go. cry if u want but talk to yourself and encourage yourself. if he was meant for u he wont leave u after 6yrs and marry someone else. 10 years down d line you may look back and thank God he did not marry you but it all depends on hw u handle it. i left my husband of 7yrs but in just 4months i have a good job with a lovely car and just registered for my masters.u cant understand what i went thru there but i can smile today and i know there are beta thns ahead for me. heard hes remarrying already and i wish him well bc i have my kids,job and a future full of hopes.its a closed or sealed chapter for me. tough times never last but tough people do. get up and fight for your future.

  104. Mary....
    Sad story but such is life…. You just have to move on with your life and try to be happy while you are at it . You cant force someone to be with you .. Same thing happened to me, spent 6years with a guy, we broke up and shortly after he was marrying someone else from nowhere.,,, All those years down the drain . It was heart-breaking , I cried myself to sleep for many months but the days got better and 2 years later I met someone and happily married now..I was like a stalker, looking at his wedding pic on facebook…It wasn’t funny oooo… but we thank God for where I am now. Some don’t have a happy ending , some do..
    But the great lesson , no need fighting for someone who doesn’t want to be with you , it ends up in misery because whatever shit the person gives you , you will take (see Annie, tuface wife)…. Totally not worth it

  105. Poor woman, she if she leaves close to his place, she should take a trip, she and her child, to a very far place where she can cool off, if she is christian, she should read her Bible or her Koran if she is muslim. she should surround herself with close friends and relatives, then pamper herself(beauty treatments)take her son to play grounds or shopping. the main ida is to keep busy so that the "sucker" wont be on her mind all day.

    Sister,

    If you were with this guy for donkey years, had a child with him and he did not marry you, he never intended to marry you, period. Stop deceiving yourself about a love that is unreciprocated and move on. I feel sorry for ladies that get used like this as guys dey harsh at times. Get together with a group of really good friends and go and have some fun. The Lord will heal your heart and bring joy into your life, just let him do it.

Its apparent dt he has rily movd on witout u in his picture. My advice to u is dt u shud let dwn ur hair, look urslf in d mirror n tel her u dsrve beter, n if he didn't see dt al dese yrs den clearly he ws blind n he's nt worth d heartache. Som1 who wil appreciate u n ur son wil turn up wen u least expct. He'll treat u lyk his queen n ur son lyk a prince dt he is. Wish him well n ask d father of all comforts to comfort u. 6yrs 2geda wit no commitment, tells u he nvr lovd u n wouldn't evn aftr marriage. So tnk ur lucky stars u dodged a grenade(bcos bullets @ dis point wud ve been an understatement). Cheers

This should be a lession to other young gals out there who think having a child by a man who isn't your hubby makes him yours when in actual fact it only diminishes your value. Its obvious the man had no intention of marrying her, I mean their baby is 3yrs old already. She shld take it as a lession learned and move on, who knows, she might find someone better. Spend the weekend with your family and friends, take your mind off it cos there's nothing u can do about it......Meggy!

It does get better sha, for now you will think you can not over come the pain but time heals all wound.

    Pick up the pieces of your life and try to move on. Some people with a kid still find someone else who marries them and treat them well. Hold on to God and God will make a way for you

    Point:He didn't think u were marriage material.and I don't think he was ever gonna marry you. Move on. Leave town or something this weekend. Above all,pray for strength from God. U will survive,cus time heals all wounds. You hav a child you need to be strong for.

    And I'm a firm believer in prayer.I hav seen so many results that came from prayer for me not to believe.Pray for emotional healing,and ur own man to come..and any other relationship that comes ur way,for ur own Good,Leave sex out of it.

    That a man sleeps with u does not mean he loves u or will maRry u.infact,a man who is for real,wil stay,wen u say no to sex,n wil not waste time in making his intentions known.

  124. My dear lady,
    Firstly,one thing you have to understand about men is that they are more logical beings than we are;hence they make logical decisions.A man will love with his head and not with his heart or his dick contrary to popular belief.We species on the other hand love with our hearts which put us at a disadvantage and makes it easier for us to be taken advantage of.That is why we have to make extra efforts to try as much as we can to love logically too.When you see the wrong pointers,you move foward.No sentiments.When a man closes his eyes and his heart,he does not look back so why should you?

    Secondly,a man CANNOT be forced,coerced,or cajoled into marrying someone he doesn't want to.Not even with pregnancy these days.It NEVER happens,EVER.Even if he is drugged or jazzed-wont it wear off.as soon as it does BAM!the unwanted woman is out the door.

    We truly live in a man's world.I can't imagine how it hurts right now,but i know it does.you've committed the first blunder by believing his cock and bull for 6 yrs,no problem.Now its time to correct that and move on.
    Close your eyes,believe in your heart that he took a one-way flight to the moon and mourn him...Yes,mourn your loss.Wear black,cut your hair,do whatever it takes to pourge him out of your system and MOVE ON.

    The idiot is flexing with his wife to be.Better get your grove back for your u and ur son.dont sit there crying and mopping when your true love is right there and you can't even see it.You'll love again,but this time wisely.

    I've never been hurt or ditched before(luckily) and i'm not a feminist.i'm hapily married with two kids but i've learned some things and i'm grateful.That's why i thought to share.

  125. When you kill yourself, who will look after your daughter? It's over in his mind and he has moved on. It's usually easier for a guy. I think you need to move on too. Go out with your friends,help someone do a diff task, do something that will keep you busy. Time heals, right now will hurt but the day will come and go. Focus on your life and daughter.

Haba! move on with ur life ok? forget him. instead of crying, channel ur energy into doing someting like work or business and strive to be the best u can be. so that weneva he sees u even from a distance he will be suprised at how happy and successful u are and he will die a hundred times knowing that u are incredibly happy without him. all the best dear.

    1st of all if u both are legally married and there is o divorce then that marriage cant happen.

    2nd of all u cant force someone to love u even if u kill your self u would only devastate your kid's life and put him in the hands of another woman(that's if she is nice enough to carter for him) while your ex would move on wit his life.

    you both have been separated for over a year that already is a ground for divorce.

  136. Been there Sweetheart (well, close).

    My advice is to go to church and offer thanksgiving with an elaborate komole dance and a hefty offering. Thanksgiving for a mighty deliverance from a wicked and spineless man.

    Whenever you think about him, rejoice because God has shown his love for you by delivering you from a lifetime of misery.

    Then make up your mind to focus on God, your child and your career (no more fornication) and at the perfect time you will be blessed with your own husband. An original correct man like mine *wink*

    1. God bless you!!!!!! This is the answer to go with, see why you went thru what you did! So you can be a blessing. You really do know the way. I've never been there before, but with other struggles, praise is the way to go, seek God and all else is aDded. God bless

  137. 2 things; why did u break up? why aren't you moving on also? My gut tells me for him to have moved on means you were the problem in the relationship. Anyway, don't kill yourself. you can still find love but if you don't, you have your kid. We should all learn to work and build our relationships while we have them. No need crying over burnt beans!!!

  140. Its sad but its the way some guys are. They won't tell you they are not sure of you because they are scared of hurting you and just lead you on. It would be better if they would just say all they have in mind.
    And she may have over extended what was supposed to be a 'casual relationship'
    She should forget him and move on, something better will come along.

  142. Dear lady in love, Of course you love him, but He has moved on. His love is now with someone else, not you. You may be feeling jealousy, anger & resentment (which are normal), but he's chosen someone else & you need to deal with it. If he really loved you, he should've made ways to come back to you. He didn't even mention his upcoming marriage to you, that means he can't even be a good friend! I think he doesn't deserve you for starters. Pls kindly move on and find someone else. It may be the hardest thing to do, but when you do, you'd realize it will be for the best. How can you find true love if you don't let this one go? You're off the hook to find someone who deserves you. Don't let your past mess up your present/future. You also don't need to contact him, cos that would be fruitless. Instead, cut all contact with him & get over it. It will take time, but it will get better, I promise. Now let go. Good luck

Well, in as much as she didnt state what caused their break up last year april and why they didnt make up,i believe the guy didnt want to marry her for reasons best known to him, its painful but u just have to move on, maybe u two are never meant to be, u just have to move on with ur life, killing urself will be the worst mistake ever so dont talk about that.

  150. If he wasn't Man enough to tell u that its over, then he isn't man enough to marry u and it simply means that u deserve much better.
    I will say that u summon up all the strength that u hv and be strong for u and ur children.

  151. This might sound too ordinary for the circumstance you find yourself but believe it's the best and only thing to do.

    I humbly advise you make peace with yourself and draw your strength from God and your child. It's a time to reflect cautiously on some mistakes that you have made in the past and move on. It's important you don't take it hard yourself and desist from taking any rash decision at this time.

    If you believe in destiny then it's good you realise he's not destined to be your husband and not the end of the world. It's always better not to start a journey that will end in divorce and believe such a man that hasn't shown you who he truly is will very likely make a u-turn even if he ended up marrying you.

    Trust me there are more matured men out there who will show you love and take you for who you are. Those are the likes of men you should pray to meet from this moment. However, they will come calling only when you see the positive side of this situation and you plan out the best of it.

    Show the most of love to your son, let him be your best friend and make our good Lord your new foundation and all will be well.

    I leave you with the scripture in Psalm 20. True love will find you and remain with you, you shall be victorious.

    this shouldnt be the end of the world for you, so many ladies have seen worse situations and are still holding up well.
    God will not let u down, and will give u the man he has destined for u.

  154. My dear,
    find a friend and family to talk to just believe one thing that there is someone special for you out there,you got one joy that NOBODY can take away from you which is your lovely son the next president of American. if a man or a woman dead because of a man or a woman millions of handsome and lovly lady will match on his or her grave. you can not hold a guy or lady down because of a child if he want to stay child or no child he will sure stay, it work in the past that you can hold a guy down with a child but it no more working. it already in the picture only that you did take note, many guys did like abortion this day that why it keep silent about the pregnancy when you have, in term of relationship lady got a lot to do it take two people to make a baby is only one person that will carry the pregnancy no condom or pill NO SEX. if a guy want to married you it will marry you before a child come up a lesson for everybody it getting out of hand in U.K e.g tuface,bob marly son and story go on have a nice day dear. by omolomo

  156. For a start: Killing yourself should be off the table, that will just complicate things further.

    2. Consider taking significant time off work if you're working and spend that time (including the wedding weekend) with people that you love and care for the most (obviously not including him)

    3.Cut yourself some slack and allow yourself time to grieve (yes grieve because the pain you feel can be really strong) and it will take time.

    4.Finally, when you're able to see a little beyond this pain and things (may take weeks who knows how long)... you MUST go get yourself another man!

  160. You move on. I hope you can take care of your son by yourself. Just in case he decides to shirk his responsibilities regarding your son. If he was with you for 6 years and didn't marry you, he simply doesn't want to marry you. Move on.

    On the wedding day, surround yourself with your true friends and family members. Remember he has chosen his path and now, it is time for you to do the same. After the marriage, he will come back to keep sampling what you have been steadily supplying him with in the last six years: sex. I hope for your own sake and that of your child, you will close up shop Remember he could have married you. But he chose not to.Sexing him will not make him change his mind. I hope you know that.

    Be blessed.

  161. If you kill yourself because of a man, girl he won't even mourn your death for a week. He and his new wife would even be glad that you're no more around, cos you are tied with him forever because of your son.

    Most of us have gone through the same situation you are in or even worst and we survived. I can't begin to tell you my story,this page will be full.

    I'll advise you that on that thursday, wake up in the morning & thank God, play your fav song and dance (you can cry too, it is allowed) before headed to your job. At lunch, eat the best meal you can afford and do something extraordinary.

    On saturday, ask a friend to follow you to a spa and shopping trip and buy a nice cloth or shoes you've been trying to buy. am not sure if they accept return in nigeria, cos if you don't like it anymore after taking it home, you can return it.

    OR most of all do someonething special, things you haven't done before for yourself and son to take your mind off it. even though is just for that moment.

    At this time, you need your family and friends around you,cos it will take you a while to get over this.

    Best of luck and God's wisdom.

So b strong gal shit happens a broken relationship is better then a broken marriage n what dnt kill u always makes u stronger.it is well.

  163. Thank god that you did not marry him. Move on with your life. Assess yourself. What do you lack? If it is education, get on a course and get a career.

    I know a man whose woman left him to marry a rich man and he wept and wore that he would become a billionaire. Today, he is full of money. He has married another woman and has kids. The runaway woman had a kid for him.

    Men prefer to marry other women for several reasons. He does not love you at all. He is just a baby father to you. Stop crying, be strong and move closer to god for comfort.

You have a beautiful child a true blessing from God and he is enough reason to live for. I don't doubt in the least its difficult and heartbreaking but hold on BE STILL AND KNOW THAT HE IS GOD. Don't have a pity party, to drown your sorrows don't get your girlfriends together and relive the past, put all your trouble to God. If you have to cry cry it cleanses your soul and HOLD ON you'll have a testimony. God Bless you

  174. Sister, you need to do a thorough self-audit and seek to find out the reasons why he dumped you. This is very very important, so that the next guy will not toll the same line if the fault is actually from you. I say this because, we are always quick at blaming the guy without first finding out his reasons. For the fact that you had a son for him does NOT guarantee anything. Just move on with your life and try to work on your shortcomings. Who knows that might just be the problem.

    1st of all if u both are legally married and there is o divorce then that marriage cant happen.

    2nd of all u cant force someone to love u even if u kill your self u would only devastate your kid's life and put him in the hands of another woman(that's if she is nice enough to carter for him) while your ex would move on wit his life.

    you both have been separated for over a year that already is a ground for divorce.

    ReplyDelete
  181. Girl, I've been in your shoes before so I totally understand where you are coming from. Truth of the matter is that if he really loved you so much, he wouldn't wait 6 years to propose to you, even after you had his son. You stated you broke up with him last year April and you still haven't detached the feelings you have for him. No matter what, he'll still be in your life because of his son. So it's not the end of the world just yet. Phew!

    When my ex left me for another woman, I thought I was going to pass out. It took me almost a month to heal, eventually I got over him. But guess what? I found my hubby right after. He is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I'm so blessed to have such an amazing hubby. Funny, now my ex is the one looking for me everywhere. I WARNED my friends never to give him my new number.

    Please sister, no guy is worth killing urself over o! Don't try it. The guy has moved on so should you. But I believe with tym you'll eventually get over it. You'll laugh a good laugh in the future when you see him (cos that's what I do whenever I see my ex). You'll say to urself, this is the guy I wanted to kill myself for? Hisssss! lol

    As soon as you let go off him, BAM!!! The right guy for YOU will appear from no where.

    The only difference btw ur case and my case is that, I didn't have a child for him.

    So my dear, cry it off because I know eventually you'll get over it. A lot of us, have been in the same situation but we've moved on for the better, we are now the one advising you. That's the same way you'll advise someone in ur situation in the near future. The irony of life!

  183. So you want to kill yourself? Pls, Sista it might be painful for now but the best way you can get ahead of this is to do something that you enjoy. You have to tell yourself over and over again, no matter what happens I am going to enjoy life and enjoy it to the fullest. You were born into this world alone, God never said that your happiness is dependent on another man but in Christ alone. So you know what, if you have not received Christ, do so now, that the beginning of the journey to freedom.

  191. My ex tried to hide his wedding date from me until he could tell me personally that he was getting married. We had broken up but still close. For some reason he thought I would be hurt when I heared....guess what.....I WAS DEVASTATED. I was also too proud to tell him how I really felt about him. He wanted to know if I would be at the wedding and I said NO. He was at my house the day before the wedding to ask if I had changed my mind on attending. I refused to speak with him. He got married. On his wedding day I drove to a hill that overlooked the venue, sat in my car looking at all the canopies, and I wept like I have never done before in my entire life. 8 months later, we were back together, NO JOKE. He couldn't bear being away from me and so did I. We now have a child together. I love him. I love him so much. I should have said this sooner. Its easy for people to say "move on", but when it comes to matters of the heart, even a stone cold human being becomes "akamu". I have no advise for her. I just have my story. There are sometimes no happy endings, but you have to be happy! I CHOOSE TO BE HAPPY!!
