Dear LIB Readers: My sister's husband wants her to get an abortion

From a LIB reader
Recently My sister's husband asked her to get an abortion and I'm really pissed cause I don't get why he'll even think about it knowing they have just 2 kids(girls) and he's doing great(rich). Would like to know if this is appropriate(right). Why will you ask your wife to get an abortion? And women would you go ahead with it if you are asked?

The above is a classic example of a childish, immature, retarded response. Anonymous Sept 7, 2012 8:11 PM you are obviously not married and I doubt you are even in a MEANINGFUL relationship!

That being said. My advise to the writer: The simple truth is that whatever marital disagreements your sister and her husband may be having is NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!!!

There may be lots of justifications for his position or there might not be a single reasonable reason but honestly it is NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!!!

This is how you will go and plant your seeds of discord in another couple's marriage!

Whether he is rich enough to have 20kids or not is NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!!!

For the avoidance of doubt, my simple advice to you is this: If the man is not abusing her physically or psychologically and if her life is not in danger, KINDLY KEEP YOUR NOSE OUT OF ANOTHER PERSON'S MARRIAGE AND FOCUS ON YOUR'S BECAUSE WHAT HAPPEN'S IN ANOTHER MAN'S HOME IS NONE OF YOUR DAMN BUSINESS!!!

Eish!!!

Madam Racheal long with all your long speech, the fact still remains that what u and your husband are doing by sponsoring/adopting kids in kenya is contrary to your decision not to want kids. Not wanting to have kids as a couple and going thru birthing and raising a baby does not translate to not wanting kids.(more like not wanting to go thru d stress of birthing and raising a baby only) You dont say u both dont want kids and yet u go adopt....

@California Love: Abeg park well! The decision to have a child or not is an individual one and the fact that a person has chosen not to have a child is not an indication of the presence of "evil spirits!" Eish!!!

We are all born with different destinies and for some having chilren is simply not a part of it.

From your rantings, you profess to be a Christian...well if you had taken time out to study your bible you would have come across where the Apostle Paul, in admonishing the Corinthians explicitly said he would prefer if people do not get married as marriage is a distraction to the completion of the work which we have each been placed on earth to accomplish. Going by your own skewed reasoning, this would make Paul a foul, evil demon abi? Cos you would say "if his parent didn't marry, would he have been born to accomplish the things he did??" Truth is Paul recognized that FOR HIM marriage was a no go area and he decided not to do it (note that the bible never records that he ever got married or had offspring).

I'm a full nigerian man, living in nigeria with a good job. My wife and I have a joint income of over N15m per annum and before we got married we had to sit down and agree on the issue of kids. I wanted just one child but my wife wanted 3 or 4. In the end we agreed to compromise at 2 and so far God has blessed us with a beautiful, amazing son. There are people who tell me they dont understand why I should insist on just 1 or 2 kids when we can afford to have more. Like I always say, an opinion is like fart, everyone has it...just that some are smellier than others. Your's tend to be the more offensive kind of fart by the way...I digress...all I'm saying is that you cant force your opinions on others and the fact that they have divergent opinions does not make them stupid or evil. I give Kudos to people like Racheal Long and her husband who recognize that their schedules will not allow them the time and attention required to bring up children but have still decided to share their lives and resources with kids who may otherwise not have given the opportunities they now have. Stories abound of children of well to do but extremely busy couples who were unable to give their kids the necessary attention needed and the whole society suffered for it!

That's my opinion.

My dear, its called mind your business. Whatever decision your sister and her husband make is their own business. Maybe your sister initially agreed to having only 2 children. Her husband might come across as being unreasonable, but hey.... that's their personal shalala.

If it was me personally & the pregnancy happened by mistake, at almost 40yrs old, wont endanger my life by having an abortion. He'll have to try to understand & accept the reality of the situation and i will tie my womb after that.
