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?

I feel u should call it a quit...he is not serious about you and I feel he may be seeing some one else. Find someone good that would take you serious girl and not someone who is playing with you.

You be serious olobe! Choi! So things like this still dae happen? No decent man would engage a woman without marrying her within 6 months tops! Berra leave the relationship for your own good, asap. Start fresh, 2014 is not for learners. Take heart and be strong. So sorry.

ary said...

My sister flee, that is not an engagement, it is a jail sentence. If a guy wants to be with you, he will do all within his right to be with you. It's not like your Toke Makinwa that will wait 11 years to break up! Do it now if he is serious he will marry you, if he is not, then you know your answer. *in Frank Edoho's voice: 'walk away'

From experience, I can tell that you are just wasting your time with that man. If he truly loves you, he should v taken you to the altar long before now. As long as he gets the milk from the cow whenever he wants it, he wouldn't have any reason to buy the cow.

No!!! don't give him an ultimatum marriage is not by force just shove that engagement ring down his unserious ass and get moving.
Think about this, maybe he doesn't even want to marry you. so my dear don't dull yourself, make yourself available for a more serious guy. Goodluck.

He probably proposed to u to keep u on the leash.Are his family members aware that he has proposed?is everyone asking him when you two will get married?is he financially ok?so what is the delay for?reason out this objectively.A woman above 30 is at the shortend of the biological stick.Time is ticking away.Is he scared of commitment?are you two compatible?ask yourself all this.you know the answers in your heart.Three years is enough to know.God bless you as you take the step.

My dear, why not take a cue from Toke Makinwa? Do you want to be 12 years a ring holder? He just trapped you with the ring! Know your worth and leave him, yeah, it will be painful but God will take care of you and give you your husband.I hope you're not still having sex with him? Stop wasting your time. Even if you give him the whole karma sutra he may still not marry you. Be strong and leave. Goodluck dear.

Anonymous said...

My dear, I may not be aware of the events before, during and after proposal but would love to advice you and some who may receive this advise earlier.
1- When you are in any relationship, irrespective of what the intention is, even at just friendship, watch out as it gets beyond handshake and starts creeping to the elbow, please inform you spiritual leader/pastor/mentor/senior friend. Whether or not you introduce your man to these respected people, make your man understand that your welbeing is a concern to these your leaders. Then watch for early signs of seriousness or slack for you to take a timely informed decision.
2- If eventually he proposes, on a unique date or a public place - sometimes this is done to prevent the lady from saying NO or I would think of it!
My dear when such happens, say 'give me sometime to "pray" about it, and be serious indeed. This a test of his love/resolve, also a test of your love.
3-During this time, my dear discuss the proposal with your God, your Guide and your Guard, in other words heaven, your heart and your head be involved in your response. Take time out or do not let his calls/your friends etc distract you. It's a decision that can result to so many +ves or -ves, so be sure of your answer and be reasonably timely about it.
4-When in love I know the heart numbs the head, here is why your mentor/pastor/leader should know about your depth in any relationship and because they are outside your heart they can reasonably ask you some necessary questions and help you think outside the box.
5-If your man accuses you of over depending on your mentors/leaders/pastors etc, let them know that you are a lady of good reasoning that takes her decision as a matured person, however you like informing your leaders of certain decisions since it's supposed to be a long one-way journey.

Now for your situation, if you have some senior friend whom you have introduced your "fiancé" to, then arrange with that senior friend to call you guys for a dinner at his place, after all the wining and dining, while you are chatting away with the wife your senior friend somewhere in the kitchen/outside let your senior friend ask your man in private what his plans are and when. It should be done in private and given enough time to discuss his love for you and his dreams with you. His answers might flag questions/comfort.

It is better to dissolve an engagement in a matured manner because .... Let me not go there.

The above advice is with the assumptions that he is/you are/both of you are matured; "spiritually", psychologically/emotionally, financially, well organised and medically compatible.

If your or his pastor/leader were involved from onset, then some of these should have been checked, coached and settled/show will to improve before he is even allowed to propose/engaged.

I hope I have been of some help, else ignore my words and please note that I am of the strongest opinion of no sex or near sex before marriage - guys why steal something you would "own" after a few months, or ladies in general why give away something precious to some strangers who are just passersby in your precious life.

Cheerios and Joyful New Year!

Hey madam, pleae give your boyfriend back his ring, end the relationship and kindly start afresh. If he truly loves you, he would come back for you. I know you're 30 and you feel you are getting old but please don't keep letting that man waste your time and life.
I always tell girls, if a guy gives you a ring and isn't talking marriage in a few months time or in the next one year tops. Kindly give him back his ring. Why? Because not only is he wasting your time, he is also blocking other serious minded people that would actually have wanted to get serious with you!
Please lady, let that guy go! It may be hard but this is a new year, if you don't do it now you'll never do it!
Goodluck and even though I don't know you, I feel your pain and I wish you all the best.

Girl, its better you opt out of that relationship before it's too late. What is he waiting for? You are not getting any younger. I presume also that you have been having sex with him all this while. Do you think that he will still be willing to pay money for what he has been enjoying for free? He must have had his feel and will rather be looking for new grounds to conquer. My sister, pls leave that relationship so that single men will also know that you are available for marriage. Good luck!

Sister, you've spent three year wearing a ring that will lead you no where near where you desire. Let me be rude here, you wear a ring that has given him unlimited and unwarranted access to your pants. A man that was decisive enough to give you ring within 4months and then decides to cover up "dating" time as an engaged man is not serious.

Chim ooooh... NNE please leave while you still have some sanity. One of my friends was engaged for 8 years and her story sounds just like yours... he is a great guy, didn't give her any reasons t o doubt him and whenever she brings it up he calms her down and so 2 yrs became 4 and then 6, then 8 years. The sick part is he is married now (not to my friend) my friend is desperately single and insane (cos she compares every guy she meets with this devil). He still calls her by the way to "check up on her".... That your fiance has that time wasting gene in him, leave now and start healing my dear...

If he is already getting all the benefits of marriage from you: i.e., companionship, devotion & attention, love and most of all, un-hibited sex, then he may not commit for a VERY LONG TIME or EVER!

Simply put, you have a "NO PARKING" sign on your life and the broda does not want to park either! Get the sign off if he is financially secure and yet does not want to commit!

You aint getting younger sis!

You're over 30 and he says you're acting desperate! !!Ain't nobody gonna tell you what to do at this point. You either move on and get a chance of meeting someone who is ready to settle down with you or continue to wait for him until he's ready like he says.

My 2 cents said...

I have a question, did you say yes just because he asked? Or did you really want to marry this guy after only 4 months, if so, y? Was it for all the right reasons? Are you two financially stable? If yes, I feel u need to sit him down and discuss his reasons for postponing the marriage. An exact answer should do let you know what to do.

Hmmmn....some guys are cruel sha, you keep a lady engaged for two. Give him an ultimatum!

Maybe he does nt want to marry u anymore bt dnt knw hw to tel u his mind so jst quit before its too late

Wot type of guy is he? Loving, caring, committed. Hv u met his family? Hw does he introduce u? If he is nt committed nd hide u den u r wasting ur tym.

Quit being foolish and quit the relationship with your head held high. He most likely proposed just to get you beneath the sheets. If he was really serious, he would have done the "needful'. 3years is too long to wait after engagement.

elovi said...

My dear how can u be engaged for 3years??????? Are u lord of the rings, u better quit dat relationship cus dat ring is stopping ur right man from seeing u

Anonymous said...

End that relationship right away o. U're nt gettin any younger. Plus he doesnt av anytin to lose evn if he marries at 50, he can still av kids bt u cant. Tym is tickin.

Stop acting as a wife and give him ab ultimatum But stop acting as a wife. You are probably too relaxed and he is taking you for granted. Start working on plan b

Anonymous said...

Dearie, I suggest u give him an ultimatum and while u r at it, u might consider giving him his ring back or at least stop wearing it. Tell him I'd start wearing it again wen he gives u a date. He cannot stand at d door of ur life for nothing. Its either he enters or he takes his ass out.

Anonymous said...

He might have an ultimate target before he his able to fix a date, But I believe you should be carried along also.

delay is dangerous. of course u are wasting your time. though you may not tell what he has in mind

babe my little and kind advice is that you should find your way out of his life cos, that man has no future not to take having one for you.

Men don't fool around wen they're in love,dis ur guy will waste ur time remember Tools tried waje 4 ten years

Unknown said...

u dont have to be patient in some situation. to me o, i will say 3 years patient is enough.make a decision and take ur stand, if he loves you, he wont let you go.

Anonymous said...

Dear Friend,

I think you two need to sit down and talk about this. Avoid deceit and delusion. He has to state a strong reason for the delay. Giving an engagement ring is not enough. If the explanation is not reasonable, set him an ultimatum. In the meantime, keep yourself. Abstain from sex with him. Men, though I am a man, can be funny. The ring may be a mark of acquisition. The frank truth is you have to prepare for anything but be strong. All the best!

Anonymous said...

seriously, if u don't take action he might take you for granted at d end of d day, why would he engage u for 3 good years and not marry u, you should start acting differently with him, behave as though if he doesn't want you, you will get somebody else, remove d ring, stop using it, probably he is sure he has u now cos u re engaged to him, if he is scared he might lose u, he might start taking actions

miss Sparxz said...

Sweetheart, he just wanted to lock u up to prevent u from getting other suitors but he isnt ready for marriage! Example of d types of 'winchi' I'm always talking about.
U had better sit him down and give him an ultimatum or at least make him sit and talk seriously about a definite date even if not now..dont let him keep posting u oh! If not, cut ur losses and bounce! Sey u see toke ba?

Anonymous said...

Make yourself scarce. If he wants you, he'll come looking for you and get the knot tied. If he doesn't, you would have confirmed he doesn't want to marry you and then you move on. Personally, 3 years of stagnant engagement stinks fishy!

Temmyruks said...

Hmmm.. engaged for 3 years. Dear, in my opinion I think it will be better you know your stand before its too late, the man engage u early cos he doesn't want to share you with anyone whereas he's not ready to settle down (selfish interest) . You've been patient with him for years and it didn't work out well for you, I would advice you give him the ultimatum but in a polite manner so he doesn't call you Rude.

Anonymous said...

Please leave this guy alone. I think if he wanted to marry you he would have done so at least a year ago. Give him an ultimatum or just walk out of the relationship. The earlier the better.

Pls return his ring nd move on. Pls look for another man sweetie. God bless U.

Any guy who keeps u engaged for 3yrs is not serious he is just bidding his time to ease out of the relationship and my dear,Dont U think U deserve better?so fling the ring at him and walk out holding ur head high!If he really wants u,He'll come begging if not then,on to the next one!

Unknown said...

Very tricky. You understand your man better, you have to find a platform where you can get him to talk and you also have to find a way to make him know that you are not happy about the situation. Some men are like that, so afraid to commit but that doesn't necessary mean they don't love you. Give him a sign like not giving him so much attention like you use to, take trip, stop caring like you would care for a husband. And most importantly DON'T GET PREGNANT as s means to trap him. Do not also walk away angrily. Who knows it might just be the point he is about to commit you now walk away. See if he will come around. I hope I have been able to help.

I tink he gave you that ring due to impulse, bcos it was just four months to ur Rlasunship and he was so inlove, but now the eagerness has died down a lil, My advice is give him back his ring but still continue with the relationship, then try new things like go out on dates, bcos maybe in his mind he might be regretting he engaged you too soon and doesn't no how to call it off, We wise don't be the lord of the Rings!!!

Please run as fast as you can, he doesn't want you as a wife, if you force him you will def be a frustrated wife. Men always know what they want from the start, ma dear throw that ring away and start your search for ur own Mr, before December you can be a real mrs. Don't be a learner ooooo

Anonymous said...

Discuss financial matters with him and show support if he comes short in this direction. Moreover,starve him of sexual bliss to test his resolve. This will drive home d massage clearly. If he is urs he will fast track the wedding process. My wife did the same to me and it works. We are now married for 3yrs now. Wish u gudluck!!
