Let’s look into this!
Good morning ma
Please I need your urgent advice. My white and traditional wedding is set for Monday which is April 22. But I am thinking of running away and cutting every relationship with my siblings (Our parents died when I was four months old). I am still in love with my ex,he is the love of my life. I have known him for 7 years. He was my backbone in school. He came last year to ask for my hand in marriage but my family rejected him and I betrayed him by following what my brother said. He begged and begged but I didn’t listen to him. I had to abort his child I was carrying at that time. A man came to ask for my hand in marriage this year January, my brother and his wife convinced me to marry him.The new man is from my state but I don’t love him and he still depend on his family. They came and paid my bride price this January. I don’t know who else to talk to… I don’t know what else to do I have been crying since Sunday that I saw my ex. I am falling apart.
Some Nigerians on the social networking site are of the opinion that a failed relationship is better than a failed marriage while others feel she should not have let her intended pay her bride price.
