Committed Fornication, I'll Marry The Man Who Can Forgive Me ––Genevieve Nnaji
Popular actress, Genevieve Nnaji is over 35yrs old and she is yet to get married. The problem is obvious, most Naija men don't like excess baggages. It's ok if you've had over 10 boyfriends before a Najai guy meets you, so long as their his nothing to show. But to many Nigerian men, if you've had just one boyfriend and it led to pregnancy and a baby, then your case is different, amibo.blogspot.com observed.
This seems to be what Genevieve is suffering. The babe wants any man interested in her to forgive her:
“As for marriage, it’s every woman’s dream to get married. We can’t lie to ourselves. I do want to get married but overtime I have had opportunities to get married but I realize getting married is not actually the problem. The problem is finding someone you are compatible with because...
"I’m born Catholic, I’m raised Catholic, I don’t believe in divorce. If I get married, I really want to stay married and staying married is not an easy thing. It means you are completely in tune with your partner. It means you’ve found your soul mate because you’ll have to be able to stand a lot of disappointments that would definitely come but then again you have to learn to forgive.
"For me, before I choose a partner I have to ask myself if this is the kind of person I would be willing to forgive no matter what when the time comes. If the answer is no, then that person is wrong for me. That person is not the person you want to get married to. If you know you can look into someone’s eyes and say yes, this is the most you can do to me. If you actually cheat on me the first time, I can find it in my heart to forgive you. If you can answer that question honestly and truthfully to yourself then you’ll know if that person is your partner or not.
"So compatibility is the word aside from the physical attributes that have to go with it. I need to be comfortable because I’m a woman and I’m used to a certain lifestyle.”
