		<description>Nice article Ife. Does your friend sleep with make up?? that&#039;s just wrong. If she&#039;s been with her man for long then make up or no make up should be the last of her worries. 
At Esty, most women are scared of their mother in-laws, we always pray we have a nice one that would love us but sometimes they r not. If she thinks your taking her son away(his already a mama&#039;s boy), you just have to warm up to her and let her know one day, her son is gonna leave her and start a family of his own. You cant drive her out the house. You have to make her see that its not like that. At least ur own is ok, most in-laws do not like the woman because of her tribe... What would do we do?</description>

		<description>what other word can be used asides from RUN.... i&#039;ll let u know when I find out!

All u&#039;ve said points to the fact that this guy wants a slave and im sorry to say but i think u&#039;re making your self just that!

First you stick with a guy for 8yrs and he&#039;s not thinkin of pickin a date to put a ring on it?! lemme guess, you cook, clean and caress him! 
If so, he has a wife and he hasnt even paid the dowry.

I&#039;ve been there, you think it will get better but then the years roll by and trust moi, he wont change, not now, not ever. Marrying him would be suicidal. End it now, take time out for personal development, you&#039;re better than what he&#039;s handing out so MOVE OUT and MOVE ON! Make friends that&#039;ll help you identify your strenghts, boost your self esteem and meet real men that will treat you right.

Dont hang on to the fact that he&#039;s your first love or that he&#039;s romantic or you gave it to him (virginity), all that is crap. A guy who abuses you either verbally or otherwise is not worth it!</description>

		<description>YOU NEED TO LEAVE, because first and foremost if a man has to yell at a women to get his point across he is a coward. Secondly is you know hw has a temper like that you need to rethink your life with him because know women deserves that or need to be treated like that. Thirdly and most importantly you CAN NOT CAN NOT CAN NOT CHANGE ANY MAN, thats not your job in this relationship, its his to recognize that he has a good woman and learn how to treat her. SO LEAVE MY DEAR QUICKLY.</description>

		<description>Personally, i feel you could share your relationship issues with people but know the friend you disclose this to and most importantly have an open mind to other people&#039;s opinion cuz other people see things you don&#039;t see atimes. Always remember that God is the ultimate above all friends.</description>

		<description>What if you dump and tomorrow he turns out to have enough even more, what will you do?Life is like a ball, it rotates, don&#039;t look down on somebody bcos he has nothing today.
some may even wish to spend but bcos of the responsibilities they have or they don&#039;t have to money.

Remember, tomorrow is pregnant!</description>

		<description>Naa it&#039;s not that the girls are stupid to date broke guys but it turns out to be a stupid decision if, of many instances, he develops an unhealthy dose of inferiority complex and starts acting up on you. Then abeg first watch and pray. If all else fail, cut that rod and start fishing in fresh waters, hopefully better off.</description>

		<description>Love BN

My own case is deferent I meet this guy and he shown me love and I also love him though I am no nonsense person but when I meet this guy I summated to him I do everything he asked me to do I treated him like a king though I have never seen him with another person he is honest with me and me too but what surprised me most is that he has change for the past view week to me thing he use to do when we just meet he has stopped doing them and I have asked him several time he refused to talk and I don’t want to tell any body about it I have only been praying to God to change him for me because I loved him so much but if he refused to change this is my decision.

I will leave him and I will tell me him to leave me alone then I will wait till I see another person.

Thank you.

		<description>i agree with bella, about let ur relationship be between u and ur man but sometime as a human we cant control ourselves wen sumtin happened and u want to share it wit ur friends or for example: maybe u went to visit sade and she said my husband has dis bad habit and u too we be like yes...mine too does the same thing, from there one topic leads to another. Again u have to know ur friends but the best thing i can say is leave everything to God or else people we give u different advise and in the end u urself will forget abt ur own want in a relationship. About d fart business lol pple always say fart in front of ur man to be comfortable....i think since wen i was young i have been brought up to know fart as a bad manners in front of someone so i still cant do it in front of anyone even my dad or sister..</description>
