Do You Believe In Arranged Marriage-My Biological Clock Is Ticking
True Life Story: Do You Believe In Arranged Marriage-My Biological Clock Is Ticking
Dear Lively Stones,
I am a 38 years old single naija woman, living in the UK. I know how people react when I tell them my age…being single has not been easy…I have tried all my best, I have been in relationships, none has worked out well. To be honest, I have been depressed for the last 5 years of my life. My biggest fear is to clock 40 and still be unmarried. For someone who tried to be a good person, I feel so unfortunate. Nothing I have not been through, from deceptive men to over bearing family members all trying to stress me for not been married and almost getting to 40. I have now put my faith in God….if it happens or not…I leave it all to God.

Well, my real story now is, a few months ago, I met a man who took a liking to me. He is from Cameroon. Later discovered he was looking to marry me for settlement. Truth is, I do not mind the idea of marrying someone just for their papers. Alot of people do it here. My only issue is that, he has a wife and 4 children back in Cameroon. Its a contract marriage but its a bit heavy on me cos with 4 children back home, he may file for divorce later and try to bring his family when he finally gets his papers.
Well, by that time, I would have married him and had one or two children. I am wondering if I am not setting myself up for divorce already? I am battling with this decision. He already said he will keep his family back in Africa but I know men like him, he just wants papers….he will definitely file for divorce later. Please what should I do? Should I manage him like that? At least, there is promise of marriage and children in future but the marriage may not last.

Should I accept his proposal so I can get married before age 40 or keep on being depressed while waiting for a so called Mr. Right? I am anxious and nervous..my friend thinks I should accept cos alot of people do it but I am scared. Please anyone who has done it, can you please tell me how you handled it? Like, is the advantages of this proposal not better than the disadvantages? Will I regret it or will it workout for my good in the end? Please advise me.
