Its not easy to be friends, but it is harder to stop all contact, BS Tongue.
He means too much for me, I prefer to be his friend ("sister") than loose everything.

Well,I couldn't! It would be too painful, and I couldn't pass over it and move on!
You could surely overcome it, for Life is a stage.

If it didn't work out,it's better to not see him around!
Thats is correct. so that you could over it easly. and move ahead with your life.

You got it,my friend!  Wink

"I feel for you, I just wonder how two of u can not discuss your relationship on phone since both of you are not together for some time now. The tel. is the only means of comm. with him now. so in future conversation with him, be bold to ask him how he feel about you now that both of you are not together. it is a pity you gave it all and your love for the relations to go on and just the way you feel and so love him, Try a bit study on your guy very well to know if it worth given it all your heart to him and the family. If he told you that both of can not be talking on tell.abot it. then ask him why and put your ear  and eyes open to understand why the relationship has been like this all this why."

It is really wonderful piece of advice, thank you Smiley.
Sometimes it is difficult to talk via phone, when I cant see and feel him at all, I suppose that for him it is also not easy, especially these issues that are soft in relationship. I just feel that we dont have enough time for each other, maybe this is an excuse... Wink.
As I said, he is wonderful man, I dont tell it only because of Love Smiley.
I hope that everything will be fine, but it requires wisdom from both of us.

Its only an illusion, in my opinion, no matter -- you can avoid someone for months, but then, when you see that somebody or hear, it will bear the same emotions that you had earlier Smiley.

Not really!
If it had been passed enough time,and if I'm also involved with somebody else, those emotions wouldn't be there
anymore ,at least not so intense to not be able to throw them away!
It would be an ended chapter!
And I never go back!

i cant hold it o....if u guys not married and he didnt answear ya call for 2 weeks awww girl wake up...
mmm 2 weeks is not small...depends on d argue also, mayb he need to cool down


Maybe, this is why I asked abt differences... maybe Nigerian men have... different attitude Wink.


Aye Hun, sorry to burst your bubble, but if your man do not call or pick up the phone 2 weeks following an argument, I will honestly and boldly tell you that he is seeing another woman. Think about it.. the long distance, the argument, the time frame he is still pissed off. I am not sure i have met a Nigerian man that is upset for that long just because of an argument UNLESS there is more to it about what caused the argument. I am a nigerian man, Ibo... and married to an american woman.. and african american woman for that matter, but surprisingly we get along just fine. She even cooks Nigerian food and soups for me(she learnt the cooking from my cousin's wife who is nigerianas well).

 First of all if your man really Loves you and respects you, he wouldn't put you in a position where you have to be possessive. If he loves you being possessive, then he is just another actor who cares about the attention ONLY. Two people in a r/ship should always be relaxed and be free of possessiveness of each other. He should surround himself with women Nor should you surround yourself with men. it is called respect. It is true that most people find it more civilized to have opposite sex friends, but for the betterment of your r/ship, you have to have the courage to avoid friends of the opposite sex. You got to always be cautious.

I don't write in order to make me confident in my realtionship, but to receive another view at things Wink. Im in relationship with Nigerian man and Im from Europe: sometimes I don't understand his bexaviour, although I love him, sometimes his attitude and seeing things make me consider if he truely respect me or not.
What is the culture of relationship in Nigeria? What is important for naija man?
Regards, God bless you all Wink!

The most important thing is dat they want yu to show that yu Respect them in everything yu do
