Olaomo Joseph: “Age is a number. It has nothing to do human character, ways of life. From the post, the woman is exemplary. What else do you want? If she lied, she lied because she doesn’t want to lose you. She lied because she love you. We all have lied one time or the other, forgive her and continue to live harmoniously.”
Imoniche Mosunmola: “He should continue to marry her since love is involved.”
Kamsey Livvy: “Age is nothing oga.as long as she don born 4 u and still respect and treat you well what else do you want? Because she’s older than.in fact, you don’t have anything to say.pls,continue with ur marriage before another man will help you out in staying with her, thanks!”
Oluwatoyin Kudirat: “Age is just a number
Say it the way it is
If he likes you he will stay and if not let him go I will never lie about my age it is better you know it now and not later. The husband should pls forgive her from the story the lady loves him and does not want to loose him reason she lied it’s always good to say the truth no matter how long it will still be revealed!”
Ofuya Evelyn: “Hmmmmmmm🤣🤣🤣 is not funny oooo but if u ask me na who i go ask?
hmmmmmmm women with age🤔. It hurts alot when a partner is not truthful ooo no matter how small u think it might be, is better to keep your partner informed.With this the man may nw begin to doubt everything about the woman.
My take,the woman was probably scared of losing d man if she told d man d truth,but even at that the woman would have opened up to the man at the Initial stage,since she is aware of his concerns then she will know if d man truly loves her or not.
Age they say is just a number but the way some persons carry the thing hmmmmmmmm.
My joy is that the woman respects d man if when she is fully aware of d age difference.I honesty do not knw what some men actually want from a woman🤔
I can’t advice u (the man) but i rather have questions for you,between a woman that submitts to you,gives you peace,respect,joy e.t.c and the one that don’t which one do u prefer? Since all that really matters to you is age🤷♀️is your choice if to let her remain your wife or not bcs of d age difference.
Just like some that get married to a person bcs of physical beauty(shapes and the likes).what if the shape/ beauty is no longer there,what happens??
In summary,if she is doing her duty perfectly well as a wife,is better to let her be bcs the younger one u wished for might not be a perfect wife for you.If truly u love her let age not be a problem,once she apologise u both should continue rocking your marriage in peace oooo.
You can’t hid d truth forever,the man has every right to end the marriage if he so wish,the marriage is based on deceit.”
