Dear LIB readers: Am I wasting my time with this man?

From a female LIB reader
Please I need your opinion on something that is keeping me up at night. I met my boyfriend in November 2010 and after only four months of dating he proposed to me on Valentine's Day in 2011. I was really excited and believed he didn't want to waste time and was eager to marry me. But it's going to three years now since we got engaged and he hasn't said anything about a wedding. Every time I mention it he tells me I'm acting desperate that I should calm down that if he didn't want to marry me he would not have given me a ring. We are both over 30 so I don't understand the delay. What bothers me most is that he's not even talking about it. I suggested we get married the last week of December 2013 so we can begin a new life in 2014 but he said he will let me know when he's ready. Should I give him an ultimatum or just be patient?

Free d guy, he is not ready for marriage

Was he eating your apple for the 3 years and has not proposed? If so,call him for a very serious conversation to get his finql decision or issue an ultimatum to him in a soft way and see his response for u to know if hes serious or not, good luck, move on with ur life if hes not forthcoming

It's a clear indication that he's not ready, so pack ur bags and move o!

Dear Reader,
If talking about marriage is a problem then why are you in the relationship? For sex?! If there is no mutual agreement on the waiting time , then you need to help the guy and yourself. Give him his ring and move on. He might be confused about making a choice, so if you aren't good enough to beat other girls hands down, then walk. Keep yourself open to other prospects and be happy.

I think its better for u to quit. Time waits for no one. U have already wasted three good yrs. Right now he is wait ing for u to quit. He doesn't want to break up with u. Am telling u out of experience. Good luck.

Ur on ur own since ur matured enough to get married u should be able to reason maturely. ur old enough to know what's right in ur life and wats wrong any man who aint serious with u kick is ass off toke makinwa case should serve as a lesson to you

Anonymous said...

ehm this might seem harsh but honestly. .I think you might be his "beard" that would explain the haste at which he proposed to u and his reluctance to get married. what is a beard? A beard is a woman used by a gay guy to be perceived as straight. in otherwords he's just using u to cover up d fact that he's probably bi, but more inclined to guys. farfetched but thats honestly how i see it. ebuka

Ultimatum pls. Which kind winch be dt? You rnt getting any younger

Anonymous said...

There are some questions you'll need to answer. Does the guy own a steady job that makes it possible for him to provide for his family.

If he has everything to raise and support a family and is yet to seal the deal three years after proposing to you, he isnt serious ooooo.

But, you need to do your serious research. How well do you know his family? What are they saying about your wedding arrangements? Did they accept you? Is this man seeing someone else? Or is he just using the ring to get in between your legs?

Many questions you gats ask my sister if you want to solve this puzzle,

Hmmm..ideally it shudnt take long after gettin engaged but have you tot abt his finacial status.am not saying that's the reason why he his shying away from the fact but just be a little bit patient..der is definately a reason..behind this..look into that first and still put a hold on the marriage talks.

Prior Proper Preparation Prevents Poor Performance! Its obvious there wasn't an adequate preparation on your side before going into this relationship. Please the essence of a relationship is marriage,if its taking him three years to make up his mind then this means he's not ready,aside this,if you've been sleeping with him then you are the one encouraging him to remain single,if he's getting the milk for free he doesn't need to buy the cow! He gave you that ring because he pre-empted your moves that soon you'll be asking for a commitment level that's marriage and as you rightly put it in your discuss he's using it as an ace! Give him an ultimatum before March2014 if he doesn't do anything concrete please dump him fast! For more counseling follow me on twitter @danielakpata

Sorry honey, your man is Lord of d Rings...Seriously, I don't think he is sure about getting married which doesn't mean he doesn't love you.

chuks90 said...

It all depends,on u. Do u still love him? Does he still love u? Do you still still have advances,of marriage from other suitors? Are u acquintated with your guys family? This are questions u need to answer before deciding on cutting off.

Well, I really thik you have to look out for yoursef. If u think he is financially buoyant enuf n u cnt c any reason why e z deleying,I'd advise u giv em an ultimatum n move on. Life is too short to b engaged wif out marriage for 3 yrs. Cheers!

If you love him enough to wait, then wait. Otherwise, giving a man an ultimatum to marry you doesn't seem nice or lady-like. In my humble opinion, I'd advice you watch his actions closely to know how serious he is and why he is delaying, this will inform your decision to either wait or walk away.

Omo u r wasting ur time o if he is not ready till now wen will he be, and what the hell does he mean by saying u are acting desperate? He put a ring on ur finger and has not said anytin since and he has d audacity to say u r acting desperate, pls I think u should give him back his ring and move on. So it doesn't seem Asif he is doing u a favour by getting married to you. If he isn't ready then y did he put a ring to it? Abi ur hand na ring holder? *straight face* men should know we do them a favour by getting married to them and not the other way round

Hmmm. My guy proposed that same vals 2011 and we got married jan 2012.

Do you live together already?

I always like to get down to the roots of matters. Sit him down. Ask what is delaying him? Why his holding back?

Some guys secretly want their babes to get pregnant first.

The earlier you know why he is holding back, the earlier it is To get it figured out.

Anonymous said...

Ah, ultimatum? 99% of men hate that, besides I dnt think it's nice to give a man an ultimatum, just as it isn't nice for him to engage u for so long. Try n find out why he's not talkin marriage, is it financial or something else? A lot of guys are scared of marriage, that doesn't mean he doesn't love u. Be wise n don't get hurt, ure in a tuff position.

Unknown said...

Sweetie, in my own opinion I think you are giving him a lot of attentn and "power" to be misbehaving the way he likes. Here's what I think you should do if you hqve the liver:
1. DO NOT ASK HIM MARRIAGE QUESTIONS EVER AGAIN!!!
2. This is gonna be difficult but REDUCE YOUR VISITS, CALLS AND TEXTS BY THE DAY. if u call him 3ce, start calling him 1ce daily
3. 2014 is not the year of "siddon look dey dull urself dey wait". If a SERIOUS god-fearing, good looking (bald headed) sweet guy comes knockin, pls chook head o!
4. Preoccupy urself with probably movies or gossip or work or parties or sleep.
5. Do not 4get God in any and everything you do.

Unknown said...

Wow! It can be extremely hard to reach a decision about something like this. You might rush and lose him with all gis good plans or you might stick around only to lose in the end. Just ask God to help you here. Also apply common sense

Crystal said...

My dear @poster, Don't be the "Lord of the ring". 3years on engagement and stil counting? Babe this is 2014 and not 1992. Shine your eyes well well. My advise for you is. 1. REMOVE THAT RING FROM YOUR FINGER tell him you lost the ring and watch his reaction. 2. PLACE HIM AS A SIDE NIGGER incase of incasity. Don't breakup with him but own up to other relationship except ure not ready to settle down this year 2014 then you can stick to him. Am specking from experience despite mine is just 7mths and believe me am not regreting it. All the best...

MlleP said...

You've already waited 3 years and I think that is enough. Perhaps people talked him out of it at first so he wouldn't just be rushing in but how much longer does he need? If he's not feeling it anymore, he shd leave u to find someone else. Its not desperation

These type of men are the worst, they are not ready to settle down but instead of their stupid selfish self to let you go, they won't. They will give you a ring to scare off serious and potential suitors while you continue waiting for that 'wedding'. Give him an ultimatum, let him know that you're serious about dumping his sorry ass if he is not interested in settling down. It's not enough to just put a ring on it, he has to also take you to the altar. If you are still in doubt, think Toke Makinwa.

Abeg move on joor, I really don't understand why a guy will engage a gal for 3yrs and he is not taking about marriage, it is mere wickedness and selfishness. My dear, he is just wasting your time, I will advice you not to start 2014 with his issue thinking that he will get married to you soon because he will not. Before that ring start chasing the right men away, return it to him now and make yourself available as quick as possible.

Unknown said...

If he's saying you are desperate then,it means he's not being real! If you had insisted you won't sleep with him until he puts a real ring on your finger not a promissory ring then don't you think things would be different? But because he's getting the milk for free,he doesn't have to buy the cow! We also need to check the foundation of your relationship,was there adequate preparation from your side? Because PRIOR PROPER PREPARATION PREVENTS POOR PERFORMANCE. Please the essence of a relationship is marriage! Courting for donkey years all in the name of getting to know yourself is callous this just says one thing about this guy,it means he's aware of who he is and what he wants,dating someone like this is like courting chaos and frustration and all these is already happening to you,so please wise up and start afresh this new year!

Anonymous said...

Sorry to say this, your boyfriend is heartless. Why did he rush initially? Oh! The love/lust was so strong ba? Only for him to trap you and forget you there.

Well, at this point, you need to give him an ultimatum. Quite difficult because you might lose him or not. But you need to be strong. It is something you have to do. I will suggest you say it politely though and not with some attitude. Tell him early enough so that you can get his position and know where you belong. Either to keep yourself opened to other men or you stay.

I have been in this situation before and the truth is what works for me might not work for you. Only difference is I didnt leave it for years. As soon as I see that the whole thing was dragging, i addressed the situation couple of times and i could see that ermm its not looking any poitive I called it off and no regrets. This was earlier last year and trust me the guy is still begging to come back but truth is am done with it. So you should listen to your heart and Wisdom is much needed to handle this kind of situation. All the best..

2. If he willingly proposed 2 u,den give him time 2 sort out issues he might be having"it could be work finances etc

3. My dear giving a guy an ultimatum does not make him rush 2 marry u,u either loose d guy and fall into wrong hands. And also make him see reasons wiv u wen u'are talkin2 him about marriage, I've a friend whose ex was goin about tellin people dat she had given her ex man an ultimatum of so so date,acting desperate,till date she's not married, God blessed d guy with a better replacement. Please do it wisely and take it to the Lord in prayer.

Give him the damn ring back, are yu Lord of the rings? The selfish human being just wants to tie yu down, don't be suprised at the end, he will get married to someone else sef and not yu...be wise o!!

I think he gave you the ring just to keep you there and to make you think he is serious. that was too early to propose to someone..and witht the way hes acting now, I guess you should let go and start your year fresh! no one is too old to find love and do not downgrade. God bless

Check his pocket if hez capable of holding a home after marriage. If d answer is yes, I suggest u talk to ur pastor abt it so u'll knw if d dude is even God's will for u. I think that's paramount. If he is God's will for u, then be patient, if he isn't then I suggest u keep it moving cos being in God's will is always d best. I met my husband in 2007. He proposed few months later. He gave me a promise ring 2009, we got officially engaged 2011. Got married in 2012, we hv a baby now n r happy. So I knw what its like to be in ur situation. Bt u've gotta be sure hez God's will first. Good luck!

I think u shud give him the ultimatum only in Ur heart n just play along patiently.....shine Ur eye nicely.........AL inem loves u

1. U have not come out to tell us ifnu were pestering ur man 2 propose, because all ur friends were getting married and he decided 2 give u a ring to tie u down,till when he's ready.
2. Giving a guy an ultimatum doesnot make him marry u before the ultimatum,it only shows dat u'are desperate,sit him down and talk to him in a nice way and make him see reasons with u.
3. I have a friend whose ex girlfriend also gave him an ultimatum to propose, and was broadcasting to every1ne dat she has given him an ultimatum"till date my dear she's not married,as she took a walk God replaced her wiv some1 better'2day dey are happily married,so my dear think wisely and take it to the Lord in prayers. A word dey say is snuff 4 d wise

Unknown said...

My dear kindly hand him back the engagement ring..and walk away from that relationship..because if not you are going to end up the end of the stick..he's not ready to commit,he simply tied you down with a ring..because he knows that's what all ladies dream of!!!be brave and walk away..the right person might just be waiting around the corner for you!!

Miss Lucylicious said...

Have a serious conversation with him nd watch hw he acts-if 4rm his demeanour u can tell he is uninterested or u get negative vibes.. No need for an ultimatum- leave his sorry ass.. An ultimatum kinda makes d marriage forced nd nt consensual..
It could also be dat he is taking his time to be very sure or he is saving up 4 an elaborate wedding...blah blah! All these r assumptions nd speculations-u can only get d answer 4rm him.. So jus ve dat conversation wiv him nd pour out ur heart nd say ur mind..
Wish u well..

My dear you better find out where you with the guy

fiancée doesn't mean wife and he can easily walk without a divorce, 3 yrs is a long time to be a ring bearer. if he really wants you, he wont want to lose you, so give him a time limit and stick to it, some men use engagement ring to deceive girl into fucking only them, when he gets tired, he find faults in you and marries another girl within a month of meeting her. he shuldnt propose if he aint ready to marry u so that u will be free to look for guys to marry.

Dear sis dont give this man an ultimatum it makes you desperate I met & married a man in 6 months in my 30s because thee was no need to wait. This man is wasting your time he does not love you. Take that ring off engagements are only meant to be a year maximum. In the meantime if you meet a man who wants to marry you free yourself up for other opportunities. The only reason why I did not tell you to drop him now is because I know you are still emotionally tied to this man. Slowly pull away.

I will give it to u Straight...Yes Hun, U r wasting ur time wit d guy infact its amazing it took u 3yrs to realize this. 1 year should've bn enough for u to realize that he only engaged u just to lead u on n to deceive u into thinking That he is for real

my dear, time waits for no man. engagement isn't marriage. u better have a serious chat with him or leave him. he needs to come up with a concrete reason why you two are not getting married soon.

Engagement is wen a man proposes to marry a woman and does it in a few months not wen he puts a ring on ur finger and scares other men away for the next few years thats witchcraft. Pls give him back his ring u are nt lord of d rings .

A very sensitive question..The truth remains that your kind of wasting time with him, but if you LOVE him, put it in prayer and forge ahead with a decision.

The issue with our Modern ladies is that we become WIVES to our men way before proposal. Once a man gets Sex when he needs it from you, good food as required, sleep-overs turning into you making his house your second address,please ask me, what is the need of a wife then, you have already filled that vacant seat.

If you want him to be serious about marriage, then YOU need to be serious about not being his WIFE until after marriage..

I pray you make the best decision..

Why should he put a ring on it if he's not ready??. My dear, don't chase away your future husband with that ring of 3years..!! As you're above 30, you berra shine your eyes before he'll impregnate a younger girl and say he's sorry or give you one bullshit story like that.!! You should pray to God to open your eyes so you'll start seeing reality. Don't get too comfortable. When he's ready my ass. He didn't know he wasn't ready when he decided to tie you down with ring..First class B.S.

You have been patient long enough; give him an ultimatum. The engagement ring should be a promise to marry you soon and not to take you off the market while he makes up his mind about if the marriage is for him. If he wasn't ready, he shouldn't have proposed.

All the best!

My dear, I understand ur worries but I advice u give him time and a bit of space. If both of u are living together, I suggest u move out and discuss that nicely with him b4 u do. concentrate on urself, ur job and what makes u happy other than him, keep the communication between the two of u going though. U re responsible for ur happiness single or married, a happy single makes a happy married. After two to three months of living ur life, there has to be an improvement or new discoveries which will help u decide what next to do. if things remain the same, then I advice u keep ur options open, go on dates! Most importantly, make sure u have a talk with him about what u think abt the relationship and ask him to open up to you what his fears of getting into marriage are, that will help u make the right decisions. Good luck. #WiseOne#

My friend leave him and run for your life biko,are you his key holder? What on earth is wrong with some girls,when will they stop falling for the trick of being 'engaged'? So it tuk him few months to realise he wants you to be his wife but it's taking him forever to actually marry you? My dear,I understand taking some time to get to know each other,since you guys got engaged in such a short time but 3years is too much na,haba!! This the longest getting to know each other search,ask if you have the job or not? You better give his sorry ass an ultimatum and if he doesn't come true by then,just dump his sorry ass and move on abeg,no time!!! Linda,you've started again abi? This is a new year o,post my comments o

Honey! Give him back his ring, dust urself off and MOVE ON. Stop wasting precious time with him. He is obviously not ready and only wants the novelty of having a fiance. In those 3 years that you've been engaged to him, you could have met someone else and established another relationship.

I'm no relationship expert but i think if he was really serious about you he would at least talk about marriage and you guys would at least have a plan. Give him an ultimatum as well as keep ur options open.
stop wearing the ring, if he is not showing any serious commitment(settling down) on his own end.

Hi Lady
The guy was impressed within few months, but you changed......
ALL Men want the following:
1. Total Submission (including respect & not equal right)
2. Good Sex
3. Good food not balance diet/restaurant foods
4. Good associates (family, friends, not your school, club/colleague-like friends)

Please check yourself not the man.

My Dear, my own opinion is that u jus give him back the ring and move on. That man will not marry Y̶̲̥̅̊☺ΰ. Or in another way give him an ultimatum stil the end of this month. But please move on.

I suggest dat u tell him dat u want to quit d relationship nd see his reaction. If he really wants 2 marry you, he will do something fast bcos he wouldnt want to loose you but if he's not taking any step after threatning him dat u want to quit dat means he doesnt want u.

Walk away my love, when there is a "but" in any relationship, it is time to bounce and find your husband. Do not be like me, mine went on for 15years and it was quite late when I had the sense to leave.

Find out deeply about him. He's very likely not real. Then leave. Even if he appears to be real, Pls still leave. He ain't honest with u. Check urself too. What does "propose".mean? Did he meet ur parents? Does he genuinely love u? Is there sth abt u that made him realise that he was about to make a mistake?

You are over 30. The fact that you are engaged means no one else can approach for a relatioship. You are stuck. Give him an ultimatum so you can move on with life and explore other options that are coming up now.
