After 2 years of dating,  she has come to take a place in my soul, i look at her as my wife to be and the mother of my unborn children. She has been very understanding, good company to keep and above all caring despite the fact she is still in her finals. Now i have just make a move to involve the family about my intention and the first question is: WHO SHE IS?

I have tried to convince them but they insisted on telling me to wait till after their investigation. Which means if she is an "OSU" ( an outcast), automatically she has no place in my home. If i insist on going ahead, i will be ostracised by my family, friends, kinsmen/community and even my age grades.

I am at a crossed road now, i need your sincere advise/opinion and very urgent on what to do. I really love her, i am scared of loosing her, i am scared of what becomes of her if it happend she is one.....AM UTTERLY CONFUSED..

my guy the decison is for you would you let superstition triumph over love or vice versa?i dont know if you r a christian or muslim but whichever you are im sure a pastor or an imam will tell you not to imrpison yourself with some culture,anyone that ostrasize you then ostrasize them back...its no big deal not seeing ppl come around ask a typical westerner how much time we hang out with each other anyway if u r happy with her then go for it ...tho i guess u r not sure yet so put this in the cooler till then...good luck

follow ur heart......if thats the gal u love and u wanna marry her,i don't think anything should ever stop u from that relationship....furthermore,at the end of the day,its just gonna be u and her.....u are the one who is gonna start ur own family....family is important too but as a guy,u have to stand on ur own feet and speak up.....

what a dilema,listen bro, its really good you follow your heart but also put the family thing into consideration. U see all the norms and values we youths of now adays shun are sometimes important in our lives especialy for men... its a strange world we are in Man(Mystery) Alot of people we come across are not just human, some are even animals in human cloths,most especialy ladies, not comon among men... Am sure you wouldnt want anything bad to happen to you or her in d nearest future... Just be prayerful and hope for the best. I DONT PRAY SHE'S ONE. The prayer is we will all marry the right person,divinely meant for us.......... If she happens to be one, just follow the family tradition and move on with your life and if she's not Lucky You..
