Dear LIB readers: My man says he'll only marry me if I agree to stop wearing weaves

From a female LIB reader
After eleven months together, my boyfriend told me recently that the only reason he hasn't proposed to me is because of my weaves, that he couldn't spend the rest of his life with a woman who wears wigs and weaves. He says he wants his wife to only carry her natural hair and nothing else, so this is a deal breaker for us. He says once I make him that promise he will propose to me and I can start making wedding plans.
I'm worried for two reasons; I love my weaves and I don't know if I can exist without them and 2, a man who is adamant on having his way and doesn't want to listen to reason or even compromise may be a huge problem later in the marriage. But I love him and want to marry him, I just don't know what to do about his ultimatum. Please help!

    ReplyDelete
  19. Hmmm... if this is not for religious reasons, then this man would not respect your opinions and freedom of expression after marriage. I hope u can cope with that!

    ReplyDelete
  20. Are your wigs going to follow u to d grave? There are so many things u can so with your natural hair even finer than the wigs u wear, my sister u had better do what he wants since u said u love n want to marry him before one sister with natural hair hijacks him
    My two cents

    ReplyDelete
  21. Follow ur heart,but he shouldn't impose nw rather tell u minimaze d use of it.May be u spend 2 much on weave

    ReplyDelete
  22. The both of you should compromise, for me am sure you can do without your weaves, if you believe in prayers them you can take the matter to God in prayers. Nothing is too small to pray about. Ayatonito.

  38. It is not about the weaves honey! There is a more fundamental issue here.I know men like this.He is a control freak.He will keep you at home when he marries you.you will end up jobless and unattractive. While he will be out there dating girls with weaves. If he feels so strongly about it , while did he get involve with you to start with? There are a lot of girls without weaves, why not date those girls?

  43. Hehehehe sounds funny tho.
    Who knows what next he might ask of you,but you never complained of his love for you. If you feel he's the right person for you asides the wig and weaves,do away with them and keep your man.

He saw you with wig and weaves and still dated you and now he is giving you condition for marriage,didn't he see it before? My friend if you love weaves and will not be happy loosing it pls forget the primitive man. Has it occured to you that if you agree to this,you will waer natural hair on ur wedding day? If you no get front hair like me wetin u go do na? Look well before you leap o. Who is urs will accept you with all ur warts.

  51. Sweetheart, if he can't love and accept you with your weaves, then i don't think he is for you.. of
    all the important thngs a man should look out for in a woman, i think weaves shouldnt even be on that list.. Don't get tiedup in smthn u might regret later.. Also pray up!...Kiraa.

  52. You are in the best position to solve ur issues, can u stop wearing d weaves?, wat if u stop and he wants to change something about u again, so just think about it and see if u can live with a man dat might decide to change u totally into wat he wants and not who u are

  54. A man that really loves should not put an ultimatum for marriage. It should be a matter of understanding and compromise. Black women wear weaves mostly because our natural hair is hard to manage. The weaves are easier to manage. You can really talk to him and explain and reach a compromise. A man who is insensitive to your feelings and opinion will also prove to be that way in other issues. I hope you guys work this out

    ReplyDelete
  55. There are other things he'd stop you from doing when you finally get in and you'd find it ridiculous. Run now before it get's late. There's a thin line between love and hate.

    ReplyDelete
  56. Abeg don't listen to him if u marry him ur marriage will be based on command. If he wants to propose he will propose without looking at the weaves. U love him yes but learn to stand on ur feet.

  59. This doesn't make any sense to me.... has weave killed anyone he knws?. na wa oh. But are you allowed to braid? Ask him. Yeah men like this might end up enslaving u wen u'r married.after marriage d next thing he'ld say is don't keep frnds, or don't invite family members or even stop working. My dear you have to sit him down and talk to him before its too late. He shld be able to meet you half way if he truly loves you. Pray and be wise!

  64. Ma, you need to take time to think it through. Much as a man can tell what he likes, if he hangs his marring you on weaves it means that his priorities may be a little bit questionable. That's because when you love some one, you need to accept the person for whom they are and if that person loves you back, they will change to please you. Think twice before you commit to this man because he will surely be a controlling husband.

I will advise u to reduce how u wear weaves n go natural but if he insist dat u shld not wear it @all Dats bad. D decision is urs but I believe if he truly loves u, he won't be adamant.

    ReplyDelete
  81. I onced dated a girl that was addicted to hair extensions, wigs etc. We quarrelled frequently about it. She even skipped church and classes when she's on her natural hair; I used to always ask her, have u lost ur self confidence?
    Poster, while I try to see reasons with why he shouldn't be so rigid over an issue as flippant as this, I will also join him in driving down his opinion. He's in my school of the kind of guys that are advocates of natural looks. How can you have fifteen hair extensions that you haven't worn up to twice and crave to buy more? Now, it's really not about the money, but how can you skip church because of your natural hair?, like since that flowing hair flamboyance your fans are used to seeing you in, isn't there, you decide to stay at home. For that singular reason, I can stop wedding plans.
    Ladies take too much time and energy investing in rubbish. I can tell you for sure that, he's noticed that you are a very big weave/wigs freak, and he wants you to change that mindset that goes with the trends. Its not that you can't fix your wigs once in a while, it just shdnt erase your natural look nd self esteem. Check the deeper lifers, don't they look superb in their naturals?, or the hajias in their hijab, they look beautiful I want a very smart, career driven, natural woman.

    Be wise!

    ReplyDelete
  87. There is a word called compromise. You both must learn it if you want to get married and want the marriage to work. What is his reason for disliking weaves, he met you wearing them.
    However, whatever we do, we must do in moderation. Could it be you are one of those ladies whose hair people never see. Negotiate with him and be sincere enough to keep your word. Tell him you will reduce how often you carry weaves. So maybe you ensure a balance of 6 months with and without weaves throughout the year, alternating them of course.
    On a lighter note,may be he can't stand the smell from your hair and can't imagine enduring it all his life lol

Lastly, pray to God about it n b sure he is ur man.

  101. I am a woman and used to be a weave/wig lover. Looked around me one day and realised how funny and similar we all look with our funny weaves. Dumping the weave is not a bad idea.
    You however have a point about the compromise bit, is this the only subject that he is unbending about or is that his way?

  105. Dear LIB reader,if this guy sincerely loves you he should respect what you like especially things that mean no harm.He should stop using that as an excuse. Every woman loves to look gorgeous and does not toy with hairdo .If he doesn't want to marry you pls move on with ur life,there are better men out there.

  110. young Lady, if the man cannot take you as you are please just wait for the right person.what kind of condition is that?.pls stay on your own.cos in the long run, you will become miserable in the marriage .what,s the point of being married when u are not happy.please let him look for a deeper life woman to marry.the guy does not really want to marry you.read in between the lines.

    ReplyDelete
  111. My Dear, you have to think about it deeply, is this man worth sacrificing ur weaves for? Is he the kind of husband you've always wanted? Is he the kinda Man U want to father ur kids? Cos I also went through something close to yours, I love changing hairstyles, I make my hair for 2yrs then cut it down to go on low cut for another year, den after, start all over again, always loved it but when i stated dating my now Husband, he said no more low cuts, & we've been married for 2yrs plus, I haven't cut my hair for six years now, though I miss it a lot, but I did it for him & trust me, He's totally worth it, another thing, Hubby doesn't like Brazilian hair, since he found out it was real human hair & he watch a documentary on how Indians cut their hairs to sell it, he said no more brazillin hair for me, & I'm not angry, I just do simple weavons and braids, He has sacrificed a lot for me, I cld do same for him too & we have a great marriage no doubt. So you come to a compromise with him, tell him you wld fix the simple weavons, something decent and classy, he might understand. He might understand.

  116. First I want 2 say I love natural hair. But u can compromise if you love him and If he usually compromises 4 u. But if his own is 2 dish out orders n give ultimatums like abeg is he the only guy in the wrld 2 marry then Hell no cos he'll keep acting that way. But think this through 'some1 loves u natural, just the way u are!' that's awesome or mayb he's a deeper lifer..lol ----C21

  127. He's not serious about marrying you dear; were you on natural hair when he fell for you?.. It's a sign of him not wanting to commit, thus, coming up with flimsy excuses as wigs n weaves.. Un-love him!

    *My R1.50c comment*

  128. That guy is very proud. Why didn't he go for a girl that only goes natural. For some men, it's a real deal-breaker like a phobia. He wont be able to last a date not to talk of 11 months. He's just a fake. He might just be scared of the financial implication on the long run. How many African women does he see without weaves. He even has the audacity to tell you that he CAN'T marry you (a girl that uses weaves). I think you are even foolish not to get him. So, what has he been doing with you since 11 months when he knows you have no future together? He hasn't even proposed, he's already threatning. It sounds more like since you love your weaves so much and I don't, let's quit it or (maybe) get married with me as the Master. IF you agree to this and get married, one day, he'll tell you to stop retouching your hair cos he likes virgin hair. Then, he'll tell you to cut your hair cos it's really gonna fit you and he likes it. Later, he'll start screening what you wear. Then he'll tell you not to sew skirts cos he doesn't see why a married woman is not so comfortable in wrappers. He'll start condemning your cosmetics, use of jewelry, shoes and ask who you're doing everything for because he loves you just the way you are. You start getting comfortable with your new way of life with a baby already and another on the way. He starts getting angry that you're not the same woman he fell inlove with that was modern, beautiful, confident, full of life and so different. You start to notice that he's cheating and you feel so lost and helpless and vunerable because he has broken you over the years and you have kids. You don't look as good as you used to and you stay in the marriage because of the children praying and hoping that the man you married comes back to you magically. All these can happen within 3 years or lower. You start asking yourself where you've gone wrong and you jst dnt get it. It's because you were to blind and unwise to see the handwritings and know that when a guy gives you an ultimatum or threaten you in a relationship, you stand your ground and not seem desperate or too comfortable with him. Let him see that you can do better than him and it's not a do or die affair. He is simply taking you for granted because he KNOWs that he can. Good luck, Dearie.

I wl always ignore him and continue wt my wig. Wen eva i am wt weaves or make up, and i ask him how beautifl i look. He wl reply by telling me dt am still beautifl but more beautifl wtout all d extras. This continued fr more dn 2 yrs till i eventually decided to stop. Now i dnt make up,wear weaves or wig and he loves me more now. Ur bot friend sldnt v given it to u as a condition. Hes not serious at all. And if u r sleeping wt him,then he s jst using u,till he finds his desired person

  138. Marriage or love is not conditional. Although many men like natural woman. For me, i don't like to touch a woman who has wake over all over her face. So do the guy a favour and put away all those wigs.

    ReplyDelete
  139. Well, u decide which u can live witout.. Ur weaves or ur man.
    Also, u ve knwn him 11mnths en if dis is d 1st "adamant" unltimatum he has put 2u, den u jst being childish. I'm sure u can rock ur natural hair en still turn heads. Ask Ms. Kedike ow she manages.

  140. This is hilarious!! Well I don't know which is your priority, your wig/weave? or your man? I don't see anything difficult in having ur natural hair. If you love him, then you'll do it for him.

  154. I think its plain wrong for an adult to be given this sort of unnecessary ultimatums. Thats if the weaves arent tacky and loud. Isnt worn too long to become smelly and not unnaturaly long. I dont see why it shuld be an issue. Anyways.. if you can live with such dictatorial style.. goood, but that sort of attitude gets worse later.. creeping into other aspects of your relationship with him.

    ReplyDelete
  155. Maybe u carry it for too long and it smells and he doesn't know how to tell you. Tell him u can try but weaves are quite convenient. Instead of combing and creaming ur hair every day. BTW our weather doesn't favour out hair type. That's a flimsy reason. But I advice you carry ur weaves for a shorter amount of time and try using 8-10 inches of well sewn human hair, or better still use that human hair to fix pony tail. It will look natural. Try it. Good luck

  156. If he truly loves as he said he won't be bothered and lest I forget why didn't he chyke does ladies that doesn't wear weaves abeg free am joor,he should take you for who you are and not try to bend you to his own rules.Nobody can be changed except they want to

    ReplyDelete
  159. Your reasons for being scared are very meaningful but then you said you want to marry him, i guess you cant eat your cake and have it. I'm a guy, I dont agree with him bossing you in this manner, tell him to meet meet you half way, reduce how often you wear the wigs. Dont know if he is cared of buying them for the rest of his life or if they just look ugly, whatever the case may be he should meet you half way.

  166. You must not give in. He's a selfish and unreasonable man. How does your looking great in weaves affect his life? You will probably get married and he would ask you to stop taking care of your nails or something silly like that! And this is the type of man that would go out there and be having affairs with chics in the same weaves he doesn't want you on! Sister please ditch his sorry ass if he can't look beyond weaves to see what a great person you are.

  171. Get rid of your wigs and keep your man hun! Weaves won't keep you warm at night when you're single, depressed and over the hill.

    It's a simple request, he wants the real you. It won't be easy especially if your hair is tough to manage, but haven't you heard? #TEAMNATURAL is the way forward, so just do it. Why should the thought of wearing the hair God gave you be so horrifying??

    Kudos to him for speaking out against artificial women. If more men did it maybe more women will be natural and happy. #TeamNaturalAbeg

  194. think of your last statement...as a vice versa kinda thing
    if you insist on still wearing your weave, you would become "that man" who is adamant on having his way.
    if you actually love him, but he doesn't like unnatural hair.. and that's his proposal, then you have to choose between your wigs and your man

    Just imagine he is unemployed and not searching for work..you would likely tell him to get a job before he can marry you right?
    now that is you trying to change him..and may seem to him as you are tryna "have your way"

    ReplyDelete
  195. Dnt mind him,didnt he see you with weaves before?mine tld me not to use makeups at all,i was forced to comply cos i love him,after 5yrs now,he had dumped me cos i wasnt attractive anymore,now am with a guy who even gives me money to buy makeups and cosmetics.Make the wise decisions,he might nt want you to look attractive to other men,if he also cannot respect your opinion then u'll av to mayb reconsider it.
