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?

  8. He is wasting your time. Make it clear that you are no longer willing to wait. If he is not your Prince Charming why is he wasting your time? Be wise, discuss with him, if he is not willing to take any positive steps move on. This kind of things are just so annoying.

  11. Engagement is when a man propses to marry a woman within few months, not when he puts a ring on her finger and scares other men away for the next 5 years!! That's WITCHCRAFT!

    ReplyDelete
  12. Turn ursef to lady of d rings if u like dnt return that ring immediately nd start on a fresh note 2014

  15. My dear, this guy wil not marry you.No sentiments because its the truth. You have been engaged for 3 yrs. What exactly is he still looking for that he has not seen already. The guy don tire , but he does not know how to dump you , so he is using delay tactis to frustrat you out. My dear pls walk away with your head high, you don try,or you will wake up one day a frustarted old maiden. You are playing wife with no licence , you r simply deceving yourself. Talk it out with him , if he will not marry you, even in court by ending of this month. Please leave him, you will still find someone else , or else you r not telling us the whole truth.

  20. Hmmm my dear it is a general disease, use ur tongue count ur teeth.

    ReplyDelete
  21. If u love am stay till u re 90yrs... Mumu

    ReplyDelete
  22. Giving him an ultimatum doesn't sound too good to me (cos he'd still resort to his "u're being desperate" ideology).
    I think you should free yourself from his shackles i.e. Return his engagement ring to him and leave him and tell him to come find you whenever he's ready.
    While you're on your own, live your life normally as a single lady and do not hesitate to walk down the aisle with any prospective bobo(u love) that comes along.

  23. If this ur boyfriend can care for u financially, then something is up. Maybe he s scared or he has something in d closet.

    *runs off*

    ReplyDelete
  30. If he cannot communicate wt u as his woman, that mean he cant have you as his wife. Frm what i read he is authoritative and wants every tin to go him way. That shows there will b problem in d'future. For me o, its not all abt marriage but the joy in marriage. Let him go. Linda hope say no b u write dis write up abi? Na kel de talk.

    ReplyDelete
  31. No need for ultimatum that guy is not going to marry you, just move on and forget long question and answer section.

    ReplyDelete
  32. My dear take off that ring and mingle, that guy isn't going to propose.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Tell him to hit the road

    ReplyDelete
  34. Ultimatum! Pa gini? If you where younger I would understand you are over 30 but wait ooo, insort tell him that yes you are desperate, lol well, you should know him, you should know if he is serious or not. If there's another person in the backgroung. Its not about engagement ring my sister. Hmmm my dear pray about it and ask God for wisdom.

    ReplyDelete
  35. U are really wasting ur time. And its the duty of a man to marry a woman and not the other way round. Asking him to marry u is sounding desperate. Throw the ring away and start all over again before u bcom lord of the rings. He knows what he is doing,he is just tieing u down with that ring,be smart.

    ReplyDelete
  36. My dear it's been 3yrs after the engagement and still no tangible reason why the wedding hasn't taken place, pls give him an ultimatum and see the result. If not favourable my dear walk away.

    ReplyDelete
  37. P my dear pls give him an ultimatum, this is 2014 nd tym 4 seriousness.does he want d ring 2 rust on ur finger??? Linda post ooo

    ReplyDelete
  41. My dear this man is not ready 2 marry u. okay

    ReplyDelete
  42. Some guys use this proposal of a thing to gain a free "sex machine" cos most girls become sexually free with a man once he proposes. I will advice u to ask him to genuinely tell u ur stand in the relationship. Be smart, this is a new year, no fooling around.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Sweety give him an ultimatum plss n if he doesn't do anything about it pls I no how difficult it is pls pls let him be........

    ReplyDelete
  44. Honestly dearie, pray about this. But meanwhile, text HELP to 131. Lol

    Stay with him bt girl, feel free to date other prospective husband. I did not say flirt around pls.

    Ur guy is wicked. He is da type dat stays @da door. he is nt in and he is preventing odas frm getting in.

  45. There is an Old saying that the patient dog eat the fattest bone. Now the question is Are You a Dog? Please drop him now before its too late. I'm in a similar shoe too.

    ReplyDelete
  46. My dear find ur square root oh! That dude won't marry u that's the truth. He is a devil whose mission is to tie u down. Pls count ur losses and move on. I know its hard but you'll be fine. Tell urself the truth and be strong.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Ma dear, if u kn wat is gud 4 u jst run out of dt relatnship bcus d guy is usin ds 'ring' 2 tie u dwn nd at d same tym chasing seriuos men away frm u. He wu ve ears, let hm hear

    ReplyDelete
  48. the guy has something in mind that he dosn't want to tell you, so my advise is to keep asking him he will tell you, but time tells sha...... Hope it helps

    ReplyDelete
  49. Seriously?... It depends on the goals you set for yourself when you going into it (the relationship), if your goals are not met... My sister throw his ring at him... Unless you want to mothered your first child at 40

    ReplyDelete
  50. That dude is one confused guy.He's wasting ur time girl.Run along as time waits for no one

    ReplyDelete
  51. Please, return the ring and set yourself free. Try dating other people or just be free. If by the time he is ready, your are still single and wish to continue with him, Fine. If not free yourself emotionally and physically. What doesn't make you happy ain't worth your time and emotions.

    ReplyDelete
  52. Sinc febuary 2011? Haba na!!!, better know ur stand before its too late. Moreover u are not a small girl anymore.

    ReplyDelete
  53. He is deceiving you

    ReplyDelete
  54. Dat dude isn't gonna marry u, the sooner u know that the better

    ReplyDelete
  55. I suspect foul play
    Are u sure he is seriously serious??
    No go waste tym for man wey like carry over.

    ReplyDelete
  56. you really don't need an advice..to me ooo....you should be in the best position to know if you're wasting your time with him or not. have you ever caught him cheated? Is he financially secured? Those are some of the things you need to be sure of before getting married. Most women just want to get married, they don't care about the questions I asked. Think well woman. Marriage is not something you can rush into.

    ReplyDelete
  57. Dat dude isn't gonna marry u, the sooner u know that the better

    ReplyDelete
  58. Peeps should learn that marriage should take place almost immediately after proposal. Guys stop hanging ur cheap rings on some gullible women's finger.

    ReplyDelete
  59. If you are important in his life as supposed, he would tell you the reason for his delay,and not still keep you in the dark with his problems,considering were both of you are coming from.

    ReplyDelete
  60. Is he financially ok 2settle dwn? If d answer is in d affirmative den I tink its abt tym u tell him off or luk elsewhr!

    ReplyDelete
  64. Obviously,he his not ready! If u feel u can wait for him,do,but somao I feel he his no more intersted in marrying u,excuse urself b4 its too late,if u distance urself,it will save a lot of hearbreaks,nd can even mak him come bak to u

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  72. Nawa ooooooo!!! It's obvious lady. Follow your heart.

    ReplyDelete
  73. dump his ass, he is not ready.

    ReplyDelete
  74. My sister give him an ultimatum & if he fails to comply begin pack ur load cos from wat I see he used the ring to hold u down so u never leave.If after 3 months of dating,he was convinced that u are the right girl then I don't see what's keeping him.

    ReplyDelete
  75. Pls wake up from you sleep before he takes you unawares

    ReplyDelete
  76. Ah! You're no longer engaged. Now, my sincere opinion: It's very easy. I'm sure you've known that feeling of happiness in a relationship when it's feels like 'heaven'. If you don't feel that way again and you've tried all you can, you should just end it (i.e if d probz is nt $ matters disturbing him). Don't get married out of 'desperation' (cos of ur age or how long you've been together). If he doesn't treat you right or tell you things now, he wouldn't change if you manage to get him to tie the knot cos he myt b tired of U. I wish you well. Happy new year.

If he is mine, watevr is holding him back shud realise him shapely bt if he is nt mine, let d flesh of my flesh come and whisk me away!

    ReplyDelete
  84. Give him more time.

    ReplyDelete
  85. He is not sure abt marryn you! He is using d ring to kip you just incase his oda options fails then he will fall abck to u! Im sure that guy is beign suffered by another chic! Hahahahhahahaahaha but dnt worry u will laugh last and also d loudest!all d best dear as u wise up

    ReplyDelete
  86. Run girl..! He ain't marrying u he just used d ring to hold u down. Stop wasting ur time my dear it's 2014 there is sm1 waiting 2 marry u out there. My opinion gudluck

    ReplyDelete
  87. Open ur eyes very well u will see exactly wht he's up to. If he is financially okay then he may just be scared of marriage commitment.

    ReplyDelete
  88. He's never going to be ready unless he's financially down. If a man proposes to u, that should mean he's ready to be a man and start up a family. It takes time to plan sha but not as long as 3 years unless he has a valid reason except being ready cos he missed that chance when he proposed to u. He's definitely not ready at least not with u. If he really loved u, he would have tied up the knot by now. I guess there's something he found out about u that's keeping him off since he proposed to u just after 4 months of dating and doesn't know how to call it off now cos probably, he isn't in luv with u right now coss if he is, nothing would have stopped him except finance. Just pray over it and do what ur heart tells u to do. U can go ahead and give him an ultimatum and if he really wanna be with u, he'll come around. Goodluck

  93. Read about Mimi Tanner's Reverse Ultimatum. You might wanna try it. It would work if you mean sumn to him but incase it doesn't, the earlier the better. All the best dear

  94. one thing i have learnt over the years when it comes to relationships is ladies(we) know where we stand. we might just be too busy looking for what is not hoping things would get better. i cant decide for you,you know the situations of things in this relationship. the decision is yours. i'll just advice you to be true to yourself..

    ReplyDelete
  95. If he is financially stable nd still dosent want to marry u, i think he might nt be interested. "why buy d cow wen u can get d milk for free" give him an ultimatum.

  139. He just gave you a ring so he can have you all to him self. Any man who really wants to settle down will always be excited to talk about it even if he's not financially ready. Talking and planning won't cost a thing! Wise up!!!!

  144. My dear sis, better find your level, for me o any proposal after 6months without an unavoidable delay is a witchcraft from the so called gentleman. If you both are working and he is giving you excuses of not ready then why did he propose in the first place. Humans and their cheating nature.

  149. 1-i think you should give him time
    2-try to be close to some of his best friend and relatives if he have any.
    3-try to know his past relationships (this should be done with with care)

  162. A guy who wants to marry you won't waste time in doing so, except if as singles you are giving him the benefits of marriage like sex, washing & cooking for him without him paying your bride price. So wise up sis and decide what you really want, dis na NEW YEAR ooooooooo

  166. An engagement is meant to last for at most a year...datz even too much,I suggest u give him bk his ring nd tell him to propose weneva he is ready,give him three months nd if he does nt make any serious move,nt jus engagin u again buh some tin more serious den I tink it z tym u move on,u hav bin patient enof nd if he is so into u he would even be d one bringin up d marriage tin nd nt d oda way round.u deserve beta,nt some man lookin for a lady to tie down eternally

  167. Its a very complicated issue, here on LIB you might get helpful comment and same time you might also not get helpful comment, many people will advice, and you might get confused the more, as for me I really can not advice you until I know the guy in question, access him, and maybe study the kind of person he is, probably tru some of d tins you'll tell me about him, and also get more info about the relationship. So in that. case the only advice I can give here is that you should try and see a very good counsellor, I'm positive you'll get help from a very good counsellor, I pray God give you the wisdom to discern well and make the right choices.
    God bless you!!!

  189. Now don't get upset that I'm about 2 b a lil harsh at the man you love but really. He is very wicked. Thers nothing mre cruel than nt knowing where you stand. See what u should do. Ask him what it is he is really waiting 4. If there's no tangible reason then please start looking elsewhere. This wrld is full of inconsiderate selfish men! Beware. God give me that 1 awesome man who's perfect 4 me. Just me. 1 other advice is PRAYER if he's not the 1 let God bring the 1. If he is then let God fix his senses. Best of luck!----C21
