Family up bringing have a very big role to play in this kind of issue, here in Nigeria we have different traditions. Which doesn't support a man to intermediate a woman in the name of tradition.
@Evve, your man have to understand that there is not Nigeria, the culture there is different, he should be considerate knowing that you both are different individuals coming together to make something out of your relationship. Though it would be very hard for you two to understand yourselves better, but only time will make things fall in shape. Good communication is the key and compromise to make the relationship a good. I wish you good luck! Wink


Thank you Smiley. He is really wonderful and smart Man, I couldnt say something wrong about his ways, I'm not perfect, so how could I criticise him also.
I just consider sometimes his behaviour towards me.


Welcome! You can awalys confront or seek for explanation from him whenever you don't understand any of his behaviour.
Do that softly, you know that soft words softens a hard mind.  Smiley

As I said, it's not easy at all. I know that we had problem with communication, because of distance -- when we met, it's never been enough time to talk about everything or all issues that exists in our heads.

Well, In that case you don't expect everything to be okay when distance is there as a barrier!

Do you think that this kind of relationship has got a chance....?

Yes, Only if you two would do something about the distance. Making out time to be together, at least once in a while untill you two finally decide to move in together (if need be)

there r different culturwe and tradition in naija...wich tribe ya man came from??
if u love him u accept it..indeed respect such man who still follow the culture and tradition in a foreign land...


He's from south Nigeria.

i mean tribe like ibo,yoruba,calabar,hausa,,,


Im sorry, I didn't know the word "tribe", thanks for explaining.
Ibo.

Do you see...? This is the meaning of different culture, it's not enough to say abt country Cheesy.
In my country there are no tribes Wink.

yeh i know m from europe as well Smiley :)m married to a calabar man...u can get a lot information from google as well...but its not sure ya husby follow all the traditions and culture the way u see it write it down on paper...the best way if u sit down and talk with him and show ya interest to know more about his culture,traditon and language....just imagine how lonely he can feel himself in a foreign land??..if he can talk about it or teach u some things about it...can makes him happy a lil bit
check out thi9s page...good luck and no forget communication is the key Wink Wink

You see -- I like that mens features... and maybe it is strange for me, cause these mens features I saw first time, when I started relationship with my man Wink.
How they behave when they don't respect woman, is there something special, that loving MAN could never do (abt his behaviour towards his woman).

Hmm... Im affraid that my personality is that I can take as a disrepect something what is not disrespect Wink.

I hope that naijirian men dont feel bad with my questions, I dont look at them as "specials", but I mean culture.

First of all respect is the key word to a Nigerian man
Secondly a Nigerian man dont take shit and doesnt want to be ride
in other words he maintain his pride and ego where ever he finds himself

I hope Wink.
I know that relationship is relationship and it's not easy even between two people from the same city Wink, everything can be made but understanding and love, however -- we live at distance (my Man lives in another, further city) what makes bigger problem, cause we have never had enough time for enough talk Wink. Everything is crazy.
Dear, long distance relationships r not easy, but yea it can work with understanding and trust!
U asked abt culture differences.... do u notice any problems abt tht ?
