I just got this nice piece from Pm News. It s very interesting..:)..Despite having an
understanding of the risks involved in dating married men, finding has shown that
many young ladies still think it is far better than giving themselves to single men
especially when the latter are not yet ready for marriage.
A study by Pm News revealed that most Nigerian ladies have, at one point or another,
dated married men.
Some have continued to even maintain double relationships where they date a married
man and keep their relationships with younger male-bachelors.
Many of the ladies who spoke with our correspondent concerning the issue, said they
feel more comfortable dating married men than bachelors.
While some disclosed that the are dating married men because of money, some said
they engage in such relationships because of the maturity and experience of the men
who already have wives at home.
However, apart from these two reasons, P.M.NEWS spoke with two ladies who said
they were dating married men as revenge against their boyfriends.
Many of the ladies confessed that they had to stick with married men because they
have not found a man ready to marry them.
Toyin Adedamola, a 36-year-old resident of Oshodi area of Lagos, told our
correspondent that dating a married man “is not a big deal.”
“I am old enough to marry, but where I don’t find the right man ready to put me in
his house as his wife, should I just remain like a prisoner?
“As I am now, I don’t mind being a second wife as long as I am comfortable and
respected like a wife by the man,” she said.
Another respondent, who simply gave her name as Jumoke, confirmed that she was
dating a married man but added that she was not ready to be a second wife.
“I am dating one married man and we have been together for two years now. He is
ready to marry me, but I am not ready to be a second wife.
“Experience has taught me that being a second wife would make you fight for your
life till death. So I told him I can’t be a second wife.
“I am only with him till I find the right person to marry me,” she said.
sometimes good to date a married man for experience. “I dated a married man here
in Ogun State before I got married. I finally bade him bye two days to my wedding.
“I had a good time with him all through the period we dated. I decided to date him so
that I would know how best to handle my husband.
“I felt it would also help me to monitor my husband’s activities and keep him from
women. The man was actually encouraged to date a woman outside because his wife
made his home hell for him,” the pregnant 29-year-old woman explained.
For Maureen, she dates a married man apart from two regular boyfriends.
While the married man pays most of her bills, she keeps the two boyfriends pending
when any of them would decide on marriage.
“I am getting to 30 years old and that is not funny. That’s why I have the two guys.
But for the married man, we both know we don’t have a future together, but he
pays my bills and assists in other areas.
“I have been managing them. The married man knows I have another person, but the
two bachelors don’t know each other or whether I have a married man,” she said.
For Eyitayo, dating a married man comes with risks, but she believes that in life,
everything possess their own risks.
“There was this man I dated last year and his wife sent people after me. I was
beaten mercilessly and had to spend three weeks in the hospital,” the 29-year-old
petty trader said.
She admitted that she learnt her lesson since the mistake came from her.
“At a time, I couldn’t do anything without thinking of him. Moreover, he was the one
who rescued me and made me self-dependent.
“I always called and chatted with him even though I knew it was risky. That was how
his wife knew and came after me.
“Though I have left the man, I am in another relationship but this time, the man’s
wife is not in Lagos. The man lives alone and works here,” she said.
