*** Honestly, just find who ever meets your cues and stuff… There’s always a someone for everyone. The problem is taking someone and trying to change them. And when they can’t be changed you start crying foul
*** I just hope he is not the only son because his Umunnem will not ok this kind of behavior.
*** Totally agree. This is what we did when we got married.
