Hey people! The last few weeks have been tough due to the Aluu4 issue. That event broke me to pieces, and I am glad some of the perpetrators of the hideous act have been caught. We will get justice for those young men (Amen!). So I am back to normal blogging now! Thanks for all the emails you sent! Below is the regular Talk-to-Steph. Let’s give some advice to Nina.
Dear Stephanie,
I am about getting married to my fiancé in a few months. I am so thankful to have met a man as caring as he is. We’ve dated for 18 months and he proposed last month, everything is set as we countdown to our big day in March 2013. The issue now is…I had dated his father a long time ago when I was a student in University. He was a randy man and used to come to the campus with some of his friends, and with the help of some popular male students, they’d organise girls for him. That was how I met him. I partied with him and his friends for like 6 months before I got pregnant but I got an abortion, and that was when I decided to stop seeing him. I missed the money that came with being his lay but I was proud of my decision. Many years later, I now work in a reputable firm, make my own money and I am a strong believer of God. I have a wonderful relationship with my man and it was whilst we were dating that I realised who his father was. The father is late now, but I’d seen his pictures on my fiancé’s phone and looked through the family album with my soon-to-be mother-in-law and was able to recognise him. The shock almost killed me! Deep down I feel so much guilt; but the man is no longer alive. Do I need to tell my fiancé anything about what I had with his father when I was young and foolish? – Nina

October 18, 2012 at 12:05 pmi’ll advice u tell him about it to ease u of d constant guilt u r exposing urself to, if he forgives u and still wants to marry u, then u r lucky, but if not, its better to be free than live in bondage. u have to pray to God to guide u and take absolute control so dat things can work out well.
wishing u luck as u try!

October 18, 2012 at 3:00 pmI hv a coment 4 Nina…let her go nd confess 2 her fiancee wen u confess ur sins u are fogiven remember d bible says wen u confess ur sins he will forgiv u and old things shall become new,,but if d guy cannot forgive and forget d past den he is not mature for marriage yet b-cus marriage is all about fofiting,forgiving,and let go so if a maturity of marriage did not understand dis in her boy heart den she should pray to God to link her up to her destiny man b-cus ur destiny man will not allow past over weigh d present…..thank u…I
hv been praying 4 many years now dat one day I will meet Stephanie okereke one on one in my life..I hv my reason 4 dat..am Benson pauL.

October 18, 2012 at 9:44 pmthe Bible is talking about confessing sins to GOD…bt itd be good to tell the fiance since guilty conscience is bothering u. However, thankfully, you’v changd for the better and I dont think u have to…let it slide and move on…focus on being a good man for him
Jesse
October 18, 2012 at 12:06 pmEvery relationship is based on trust and good understanding.. I would advice you to tell him now and have a clean conscience or risk God’s anger on you for dating both father and son

October 18, 2012 at 12:11 pmWud just recommend u tak to ur Pastor/mentor/spiritual father. I think he is the only one who can help u out here bcos seriously no mata hw many advice u get here, u wnt be satisfied bcos people will tel u their own version of hw they understand it and in their own way of thinking…Good luck
Temittayo
October 18, 2012 at 12:11 pmThis could play out in two different ways. you could tell him and he freaks out and becomes unforgiving joe or he could just let it sweep but He could use it has a verbal insults times later. in my opinion as long as u know u dont have any other thing to hide, pls say the truth because His fathers friends may recognise you and still tell him. bare out the truth and let whatever happen be a test if He’s urs and can handle ur past
Dortmouth
October 18, 2012 at 12:11 pmPlease if you really love him, just tell him about it. Fine he might never find out but what abt the guilt? And am sure if he truly cares for u he would appreciate d fact dat let out ur darkess secret. am sure he is nt a Saint!
Alfy
October 18, 2012 at 12:12 pmI think that the best thing you can do in a situation like this is to try and then talk it out with your partner, He will have to understand that you were young and foolish at that time and anyone could have made the same mistake.If he truly loves you and really want to settle down with you am sure that he will understand you more and respect ya more for confiding in him.

October 18, 2012 at 12:12 pmyeah dear u must be sincere with the man u are going to spend the rest of your life with so is good u tell him it must be hard but they say the truth hurts and is better that way than to lie so dear please gather courage and tell him everything and he will understand.

October 20, 2012 at 10:56 amMy dear, if u must save ur relationship & ur intergrity pls dnt tell ur fiancee cos if u do dat love will suddendly depreciate, talk 2 god in secret 4 mercy & i assure u d 4giveness of ur sins. All d best!!!
Enid Annoited
October 18, 2012 at 12:13 pmNina, what i can say this. the truth sets people free. follow your heart and be faithful your fiance if you really love him.
your heart will be free and know God loves you so much. we also love you too.

Tina
October 18, 2012 at 12:15 pmThis is kind of difficult, however tell him now b4 someone else do and dat will be a big blow on u and he may never trust u again but if he truly love u he will forgive u though it might hurt him for a while he will get over it ‘cos u told him urself
Keta
October 18, 2012 at 12:15 pmNo if it ain’t broke don’t fix it I say cause them he’ll tell his mom and them you’ll have the mother-in-law from hell you don’t need all that In a new marriage. I’m almost certain he has done foolish things during his college years maybe not like you maybe even worse and he will never tell you so pray and ask God to give you peace about the situation and move on girlfriend move on

October 18, 2012 at 12:15 pmHMMM MY DEAR U OUGHT TO HAV GUILTY CONSCIENCE BCOS U R A CHANGE PERSON.I’LL ADVICE U EXPLAIN ALL DAT HAPPENED TO UR PASTOR,AND UR PASTOR CN SIT HIM DOWN ND TALK TO HIM.IF U SHUD,HE MIGHT TURN IT ROUND ON U!
Olusanya tope
October 18, 2012 at 12:16 pmIf u love him, u dont need 2 keep any secret. Tell him and if he truly loves u, he wil undestand. At least no body is perfect, even ur husband may av sleep wit many woman. If u afraid of telling him, cal ur pastor 2 follow u and explain 2 him. Bcos if u dont tel him u wil be guilty in heaven. Good luck. Tel him

October 18, 2012 at 12:16 pmIn my own opinion i dnt think dat info is needful for ur fiance particularly bcos d father is now late,d most important thing is it was ur past afterall d dead can bear witness against d living. Forgive urself dear and move on to enjoy ur marriage.cheers

October 18, 2012 at 12:17 pmThere is no need of telling your guy since the man is late let bye-gone be bye-gone, focus on the future and Be Prayerful.

October 18, 2012 at 12:18 pmHmmmmmnnn, Nina its a though one here, all i can tell u is to pray about it before leting it out. We all have a past, he has his d’most interesting part is that u now a change person. After prayers wat eva it is ur instinct says u should jst do it so u wont live wit guilt all ur life. Bt be wise dear.
Ejiro
October 18, 2012 at 12:18 pmGirlfriend, my advice is NO. Because it might destroy that relationship. If you have confessed your sins to God and ask for his forgiveness and you have truly repented.He has forgiven you, you don’t need to do anything again. Then don’t go back to the past it will only open fresh wounds.
The past is gone, You don’t have to bring back the past to spoil your future relationship with your fiance, and not just your fiance alone his entire family. So my dear be wise. WISDOM IS PROFITABLE TO DIRECT.
You don’t owe your fiance any apology because you did what you did out of ignorance and you weren’t dating him then. So there is no need to tell him. That’s my honest opinion…
Esther
October 18, 2012 at 12:19 pmI sincerly don’t think u should tell him,except u want to end ur relationship with him. The fact that u said u’re now a strong believer is good enough. U’ve stopped that kind of life,so let it remain in ur past pls. U should not tell ur fiancee otherwise it will destroy ur relationship.
TM
October 18, 2012 at 12:20 pmOkay,now i know what to advice Nina,Thank GOD the man is dead and gone.Its ur turn to let BY GONE be BY GONE….Keep it to yourself or u ruin ur marital destiny…
Rachel
October 19, 2012 at 11:08 amwell said…ur past is ur past,,,bury it
Eve
October 18, 2012 at 12:21 pmWow! Dear that’s serious! Ok i will put myself in you shoe…. To say the truth the situation is a difficult one but there is one question i will want to ask you first. If u didnt know the father wld you have related all your past to your fiancé? If im the one wldnt have said it to him. Now the dad is no more and im sure he is still suffering from the lost and… misses him. Do you really want to bring painful memories ? If it’s me NO. So now you are happy and a changed person. Please put your past behing u if u want to evlouate and be happy. Ask for forgiveness from God and be free my siste
Sorry for the bad english im a francophone *

October 18, 2012 at 12:21 pmYou need to share your secret with him as husband to be. Let him know your past and if he loves you, he will not hold on on your past experience. Its better you share it now and face the consequences than later.

October 18, 2012 at 12:23 pmMy dear Nina,is normal to feel guilty and i thank God U̶̲̥̅̊я a changed person now. U̶̲̥̅̊ dnt hav to tell him, he’ll find it difficult to swallow. ₪☺ man wuld want to be wit a woman who had affair wit d Biological Father expecially*No Nigerian Man# do ursef a favour nd keep being a gud wife and pray to God to giv U̶̲̥̅̊ d strength to move on. That is life for U̶̲̥̅̊. The only person U̶̲̥̅̊ owe apology is God nd he’s d only one clean enuff to judge U̶̲̥̅̊! And U̶̲̥̅̊я now a new person,God doesn’t remember wut U̶̲̥̅̊ did in U̶̲̥̅̊я sch days. If U̶̲̥̅̊ mistakenly tell U̶̲̥̅̊я Fiance, U̶̲̥̅̊я love life wit him will neva remain d S̶̲̥̅ɑ̣̣̝̇̇m̶̲̥̅̊ε̲̣̣̣̥.

October 18, 2012 at 12:23 pmNina should let the sleeping dog lies
Amara
October 18, 2012 at 12:23 pmGod in His infinite mercy has buried ur secret, that’s why the father is dead. Why exhume stinking corpse? Pls let sleeping dog lie!
Onyinye
October 18, 2012 at 12:24 pmWz putting myself in ur shoes!!! i detest dishonesty especially in a relationship, i believe in love so let me say if he truly believe in u and if he is really urs, He will fgive and know that nobody is perfect. evrybdy makes mistakes one time or the other….If u leave it and hide it…FATE has a way of dealing with people…Wat abt his friends dat he usually comes to see u wit, Anyway, all i know is Talk to God first in prayer b4 talking to him…U may be surprise, God alwyz surprise us……It tks ur heart and strength
gloria
October 18, 2012 at 12:26 pmNo don’t tell him let bye gone be bye gone
Jimjay
October 18, 2012 at 12:27 pmHaaaa! She should just go to d Lord in prayer for forgiveness. She doesn’t need to come out at all at all. Moreso d daddy is no more. Even d bible says, in all things, apply wisdom.
omakwu stephani
October 18, 2012 at 12:27 pmI think what Ʊ had with ur man’s father is in the past. Nt everything that happens in past is brought to the present though the guilt is going to keep disturbing you. Besides your actions then were naïve. There’s no need telling ur fiance about Ʊ and his late dad.
Lindsy
October 18, 2012 at 12:28 pmAccepted u were young, reckless and foolish but if u ask me, I would say sinece he is late and gone,best is let the past die. Before u accept Christ am sure u were. Ready to see u as a new being so pls former things have passed away,let it go;cast it out of your mind and memeory….for your happiness sake! Cos d young man may or may not take it lightly. Wish u d best,cheers!
audrey
October 18, 2012 at 12:28 pmPlease leave the pass behind since u r changed individual. Ur present n future actions should judge u n not ur past. By telling u only complicate matters for urself. Some truth r left untold n this is one of those.
timi
October 18, 2012 at 12:28 pmMy candid advice would be that, she reveal the secret to the guy because sooner or later the hiden secret will reveal itself and by that time it would be hell….. Note B: i wont advice her to talk about the abortion, cos what u dont know wont disturb ur mind…..
Amos erijo
October 18, 2012 at 12:28 pmU said u are a strong believer, if u are pray to God to show u a way to say it out one day. But 4 me i advice that let the wedding be done first, and u let it go of our mind’ i mean b4 saying it out
ann ejeh
October 18, 2012 at 12:29 pmi dont tink there is a need 4 dat cos his late nw and tank God u say u re doing something dat is helping u nw just pray to God to giv u de strenght, be urself, it wel with God Almighty.
Mildy
October 18, 2012 at 12:29 pmThis is nemesis,northing is hidding under the sun,u better tell him before he find out somehow,but b4 u tell him pray & fast the God should intervien on ur case,bcos he might find out after the wedding through his father’s friends & that will be d worst case,tell him & beg him for forgivness for u to be free from the guilt.I will pray for u,may God be wit u as u take the bold step.

October 18, 2012 at 12:29 pmFor me is a thing of d past,better not tell ur man b/c he might c u as a retired runs girl

October 18, 2012 at 12:31 pmNina, Ɣ☺Ʊ don’t need to tell ur fiance anything. What Ɣ☺Ʊ had wirh his father is in rhe past before Ɣ☺Ʊ met my fiance and moreovet the man is dead so i don’t think Ɣ☺Ʊ need to open a can of worms. Ride on girl. Happy wedding.

October 18, 2012 at 12:32 pmGal don’t say A̶̲̥̅ word .cos ur fiance won’t trust U̶̲̥̅̊ again go ahead wif your normal life and ask God 4 forgiveness

October 18, 2012 at 12:32 pmJust tell him about it all,if the two of you are to be it will be so just know he may leave you or may not just tell him
Paschal
October 18, 2012 at 12:33 pmMy dear, thank God for making you realise your mistake years ago. Since your father inlaw is dead, What your suffering is just self guilt which only you can be able to cure by opening up. However, before you open up, i want you to carefully study your husband and know how he reacts when you break such news to him. Will it push him to quitting the proposed marraige? If the answer is positive, advice you to keep it to yourself until after the marraige. Besides you dont need to habour so much guilt over your past life, a lifestyle y you have abadoned. Many people have made various mistakes in life which the have repented of. And part of the repentance starts by first forgiving yourself. How can you forgive yourself when you keep remembering your past lifestyle? Its only past, you have repented and prayed to God for forgiveness. So i suggest you focus on the happiness of your marraige and forget entirely about your past lifestyle. Meet with your church pastor for proper spiritual guidiance. Good luck.
Best Kbrown
October 18, 2012 at 12:33 pmThe best thing to do here is pray 4giveness from God and move on wit urlife…its ur past,Dnt break ur mans heart by teling him…u’ve nt 4given urself so God has not 4given u too that is why u’re still feeling guity…wish u the Best…

ireju iwunze
October 18, 2012 at 12:36 pmDear Nina, pls do not tell ur Fiance that u slept with his Father, since his father is Late. If he were alive, I would have advised u to let ur Fiance know what transpired between u and his Father. Pls, talk to God to help u get over the guilt that u feel. With God all things are Possible. Plan for your wedding, think of how u’ll spend ur honeymoon, how to be a good wife, mother and Sister-in-law. Read books on Marriage and make ur Marriage an Envy to ur world. Forget about the PAST AND MOVE ON WITH UR LIFE! Best wishes!

October 18, 2012 at 12:36 pmNina,u must know here that what ever happened in ur past is in ur past. Tell him d “TRUTH”

October 18, 2012 at 12:37 pmDear nina my advice 2 u is 2 tell him, dnt start with his father bt hw u were living bfore he came along tell him everytin nina bcs ur mind ll nt b at peace if u dnt.
LAWAL AHMED IBRAHIM
October 18, 2012 at 12:37 pmShe can continue with the marriage proposal but also need to let him know the truth of her relationship with his late father bcos if she doesn’t, one day one of his late father friend’s will surely use that to black mail her and her fiancy could get angry with her seriously for not telling him the truth. It is rather important to let him know right on time than to keep silent and if he truely loves her ,he’ll forgive her considering the fact that his father is late. Hope she’ll find my advise helpful. Regards
Princess Gaius
October 18, 2012 at 12:38 pmSince you have aborted the baby and the father is late now and you have change to a new life. I think you should live the sleeping dog lay. Unless he asked to know how bad your past life was.then you know you have to tell him.
natasha
October 18, 2012 at 12:39 pmDear Nina, I know u feel quilty for all ur reckless habit when u were a girl but u can’t let that affect ur future, u love ur fiance and he probably loves u too so y will u want 2 spoil that, all I’m trying 2 say is, leave d past in d past and move on but if it comes up in d future then u can handle it.

October 18, 2012 at 12:39 pmSwthrt,I’m sry ur past mistakes r nw hunting u lyk a shadow,bt wat i suggest u do is 2 tell hm,its preety hard 2 do. Yes! Bt it’s beta u do it nw nd clear thngs dan wen he finds out l8r by hmslf,nd trust me if he realy luvs u, he wil nt bcos of dat call it quit. Nd dnt think bcos d man hs dead d secret hs, no!

October 18, 2012 at 12:40 pmNina, if u want ur love 2 continue, plz neva aer out that thing just kip it at hrt till death do u apart it’s gd u got saved. Wish u da best.
NIRA
October 18, 2012 at 12:41 pmPlz plz plz don’t tell him. I know some ppl are of the opinion that there shouldn’t be secrets,but it’s better to let sleeping dogs lie. Believe me,the second you tell him,he’ll not look at you the same again. Even if he says he’s forgiven you,things will not be the same. Can you imagine what will happen if he tells his mother??? Pls just don’t tell him. Thank goodness the man is even dead!!!
marshal
October 18, 2012 at 12:41 pmPls if she is a change person now,n love her guy let her tell d fince d full story bcos as life goes on, he will discover d secreet.let dat call love make her 2 let d cat out of d cage.
kevin
October 18, 2012 at 12:41 pmI believe you should leave the pass where it is, in the pass. Telling him will bring up complication with may later lead to total disintegration of what u guys have and more trasic, what is to be. But the ultimate decision is your, put some good thoughts into it.
Good luck.
Ewulum Joy
October 18, 2012 at 12:41 pmWell 4 me, I will say Nina should not tell d husband tobe becos not all men will understand n there is no going back once u have said it. N again if u believe is in d past, old things have Pass away, n pray abt it
Tony
October 18, 2012 at 12:42 pmDear sis tel hm ur past experience wit his father,if he luvs u he should nt luk @ d past cos without mistake there ‘ll b no correction.n if God says he z ur future husband nothing ‘ll stop hm one more ask God 4giveness n let his mercy b upon u tnx hv a wonderful day.
vin
October 18, 2012 at 12:42 pmIts very risky tellin him d truth now dat u’re about 2 wed. I’ll advice u don’t say it at all since d man is late except u wnt 2 make ur fiance nt 2 luv u again
pat
October 18, 2012 at 12:42 pmI wld advice to let him knw of it, d question is his reaction…. If he is an understandable man he shd knw that its nt a new thing… Or hw r u sure has nt dated somone’s mother too…. Tell him if he quit meanin he coursed himself never to get truth frm women again till he died…
ajangs kalio,juliet
October 18, 2012 at 12:42 pmTell him b4 he hears it outside especially 4rm his fada’s frnds. If he luvs u ,he’ll accept u who you are,bsides u are a bliever. Tanks
jean
October 18, 2012 at 12:42 pmNina some secrets can spoil a relationship but my advise to u is tell him not cos of him but for God. If e is urs God will make it work if not u av 2 move on. Cos my darl God opinion b4 any odas..wish u luck
rita
October 18, 2012 at 12:42 pmyes, you need to tell your man.if u are feeling guilty that means its the right thing to tell him.he will still love you. you didn’t cheat on him. hmmm, about your mother inlaw, she can’t find out. be breave and tell him. if he wants to cut off the wedding then he dosen’t deserve a honesty, loyal and truefull wife like you.
Njoku-umeh joy
October 18, 2012 at 12:43 pmDear Nina,
please tell your man and free your mind.if you keep it in your heart,you will definately live with him in guilt.if he trully loves you,he will over look it.

October 18, 2012 at 12:44 pmput fear aside and tell him,if realing u love God & dis man.

October 18, 2012 at 12:46 pmPls nina, let the sleeping dog lie i beg you and marry in peace but if you feel you are resless and cannot comprihend the torsure then evaluate your fiance emotion how he re-out to things that concerns you, then call him ask him darling pls. I have a secret but i don’t no if to tell you or forget it but i no if you here it from me it would be better, then here his repply, if you sees it geniune then go ahead tell him no mater his reactions all you we say is that i thank God now that my conscience is clear you never can tell may be he also have his own secret so don’t be afraid what we be most be if he is your destined husband these is nothing to break you apart go ahead hapi marrage in advance bless you nina!
ruth emmanuel
October 18, 2012 at 12:46 pmThis is a serious,fragile,delicate n a pathetic issue. My dear, the bible said “old things have passed away……..” The only thing there is that….if his mum wasn’t aware of your past with her late husband then you can keep it to yourself, but if the reverse is the case, then you don’t have any option than to open up to your fiancé and let him know what your past led you into. “Be strong and be of a good cheer”
naomi
October 18, 2012 at 12:48 pmi it better to tel u husband-to-be- abt ur relationship wit is father cos it will nt be gud if he find out abt it on ur wedding day if his fathers frndz cum to d wedding en see it en leta tel im abt it. plz i tink u shuld tel im dnt mind diz saying dat let d die be 4gt cos if he find out abt it he will neva 4gv u even if u guy get married.. dat marriage will nt last it wil be ful of suspect en dia wil be no trust so is beta u tel im nw den wen it late
oluranti
October 18, 2012 at 12:50 pmDear, it is better u jst keep it to yourself, cos u dnt knw how he would feel.
malgwi safio
October 18, 2012 at 12:52 pmI always hold the belief that, if you are old enough to take a decision, you should be old enough to accept the consequence. Since she decided to experienment with randy old men back then, she should be willing to pay for her sins by telling her fiancé this naked truth now, before its late. Better a house built on the foundation of truth than on lies. Who knows if someone who knew her back then comes to tell him after they are married.
He deserve to know the truth, if she is a believer as she claims. That would be the ideal thing to do.
Wishing her luck with that.
peeee
October 18, 2012 at 12:52 pmThere’s no need, its ur past! And the man is no longer alive, so pls work on ur mind and get over it!

October 18, 2012 at 12:54 pmWht has appe.has appe.if ur guy did nt want 2 no let it be,but if u feel u most tell he than tell he,at d moment it wht will give u peace of mind dat i encounage u 2 do also if u guy is understanding as u said he will still luv u if nt ur marry will nt work so for me let he no so dat u do nt end up been unhappy in d marry hope i was able 2 help.

October 18, 2012 at 12:59 pmJust b honest and tel him straight about Ur past don’t hide so dat ur spirit wil b at rest 4 ur marriage. If he truly loves u he wil take u in afteral we all fall victim one way or the other. And if he refuse 4get him he is not ur choosen one. Marriage is 4 better 4 Worse. Sorry

October 18, 2012 at 1:00 pmI know it’ll be a very difficult decision to make, but the wisest. yes you should tell him. What you re about entering is marriage & nt just some kind of relationship, since you said you partied with him (his father) & his friends it simply means your fiance would find out sooner or later even though his father is dead. So it’s better it comes from you now if he loves you so much he’ll take it even though it hurts, afterall it happened when you’ve nt meet. Good luck on that .

October 18, 2012 at 1:03 pmI think you should come with your man, because. Hw might get to know anytime and if that happens, he will never forgive you. You might be scared of loosing now, trust me if he is yours , he’s going nowhere. If you really love him, its better you save him the double of one being once his father’s mistress and not been able to tell him when you were supposed to (the pain of having been told by someone else) this will destroy everything he ever felt for you. Telling him will convince him of your genuinety. God help you cheers !!!

October 18, 2012 at 1:03 pmmy advise for you was,move on with ur life..you do not need to tell him my sister unless you want to loose ur up coming wedding..dnt forget to pray

October 18, 2012 at 1:06 pmdearest nina, pls cheer up. what happened was your past, i think u should talk to your guy and tell him the truth. so you can have rest of mind.God will touch his heart for your favour. it is well with u.
ijeoma ede
October 18, 2012 at 1:06 pmMy dear Nina, its a mistake u made wen u were young n naïve girl but now u r a grown woman n soon to be a wife n mother. My advice is for u pray to God to touch d heart of ur man to forgive u n accept ur mistake, den u tell him d whole truth. If he’s for u God will make him stay if not let Gods will be done. Don’t build ur marriage on lies it will eventually hunt u in future
Clara
October 18, 2012 at 1:07 pmNina that’s why it’s very wrong for a single lady 2 date a married man because you don’t know where fate will land you now this. Although he’s dead, you still need your present date to know because if you don’t, your husband 2 to will one way or the other get to know, then you’ll start regretting. So think he has the right to know

October 18, 2012 at 1:11 pmI think yes u have to let him no abt ur pasts and am really sure he giong to forgive u truthly if he really luvs u, everyone has a bad past to tell his or her partner: note if u didn’t tell him ur frd may do wish will even worsting d problem but put everything in prayer to God to help u to be bold to tell him at d right time. It is well

October 18, 2012 at 1:12 pmNina:What you are fighting here is guilt.[the issue here is why that guilt still haunts you].In the wild old days, anybody can do anything!What matters is how you metamorpose through and after a mistake.You can never open and read a new chapter when you are still stuck in the last.
When you turned godly,and repented you wild past and did sin no more, that was enough for that guilt to have ebbed away.You are ‘self incriminating’. Life can be looked at backwards but, has to be lived foward.
When love comes knocking at your door,let it in as there may not be another time around.
YOU HAVE THESE BENEFITS, SO USE THEM BEFOREHAND.
-Be truthful and tell your man you had a fling with your dad at college, and once you realized it was wrong you backed out.[if you don’t someone who knew you at college may do that one time, and your hubby will hold you in low esteem; foretold will be effect less and a sign of openness and trust]
-The demise of his dad.
-Timing factor,this is the very time to open up your fears, doubts and leave your guilt for perish.After proposal, the worst that can ever happen is to rescind after an honest truth has been brought to light by a concerned party.
-Lastly,if that abortion was your personal secret, somethings are better not told,live it to lie where it belongs.Soon you will manufacture other babies and it will be no more.
– A loving husband, choose an ideal time, place within the heights of this time before the wedding and; as it were begin: My most effectionate and loving husband to be, God has chosen us two lives,two hearts in friendship, united forever in love.It is with utmost sincerity that today and now I would like to share some aspects of my past life: AND YOU BROACH THE SUBJECT………
Sincerely if you boy friend truly loves you…..;
IT WILL BE TILL DEATH DO YOU PART.

October 18, 2012 at 1:13 pmIts such an entangled situation she finds herself in. However, I will suggest she keeps her past to herself for the sake of salvaging her present glorious relationship with the one she loves. Everybody has secrets and skeletons in the closet. Her fiance might have his which he never shared with her who know. Being young, foolish and wild comes with a price. Plus am sure it was out of poverty that she accepted the fancy things her fiancee’s dad proposed. She is grown now and has her own. I would advice her to bury her past life and look to the future with her present love. Its better he finds out himself if he ever will , but not through her. She should just thank God for her job and her man and enjoy life to the fullest .
Owen
October 18, 2012 at 1:13 pmSis, forgive yourself and observe the law of silence. Besides, he’s dad is dead and so is your past. If you choose to resurrect it, sorry you’ll experience the true meaning of the phrase ‘life is unfair’. Put yourself in his shoes. Anyways, live your life sister its a new dawn. Happy married life in advance.

October 18, 2012 at 1:13 pmDnt let d past be,since u are now a child of God old tins have past away behold all tins hv now becom new.dnt let him know keep d secret urslf,bcs d moment u declose it to him u will loose him,bcs no human hrt can bear dat exept for God’s intervention.

October 18, 2012 at 1:14 pmI. Think you should sit him down an tell him everything jus like how you takea your time tao post dis, he is gonna bea your lovely wedded husband jus noaw so he deserve to kno, tell him before someone else does an spoil everythin for you.
john Amandi
October 18, 2012 at 1:14 pmTo me,it will be better you tell him about it because if after he came to know about it some how or from another angle ,he will find it difficult to forgive you. So tell him about it and if truely he love you,the relationship will continue as I believe that nobody is above mistake. Truth is bitter but it have to be said. Goodluck.
funbi fakunle
October 18, 2012 at 1:14 pmdear Nina, i believe one way you must have told your fiance about your past and as a strong believer like you ve said,you should have mentioned his father to him as part of your ignorance while growing up?a relationship of 2yrs isn’t a joke most especially while planning to raise a family together.James 5 says we should tell our sin to one another. forget about this 2yrs thing u’r talking abt or bringing up as an excuse of protecting ur relationship, pls it doesn’t work in reality. I believe you should pray for God’s wisdom and interference through this trial period. pray n tell him ma dear God can still touch his heart to forgive you. The heart and mind of king is in His hands so why worry?cos there’s something called NEMESIS.***smh**
owoyemi
October 18, 2012 at 1:14 pmHmmm.. Dis is kind of twisted bt vry easy. Infact d issue has been solved. U dated d father in d past and he is late. Y open old wound of ur past 2 destroy ur future? My advise is dis, ask God 4 forgiveness and forget u eva did dat and move on and enjoy ur marriage wt ur spouse..KAPPISH
Steve
October 18, 2012 at 1:16 pmDear Nina,
I would advise you to open up to your spouse to be, if he truly love you, he will give you and accept you.
Thanks goodluck to you
Bonny Achifone
October 18, 2012 at 1:16 pmMy candid opinion on this is that it would have been too bad, but fortunately, it is not. It wouldn’t make any sense letting your fiance know. That happened in the past if truly you are strong believer like you said. Old things has passed away and behold all things are become new.
Rotr. Uche Okolie.
October 18, 2012 at 1:17 pmI think u should tell him the truth about ur past. Though it will hurt him but if he really loves you to marry you,i think he’ll understand & forgive you. So pls tell him. Goodluck
Rachel
October 18, 2012 at 1:18 pmWow,this is a tough one`
Wow..this is a tough one…it all depends on d kinda guy ur fiance is…if u can live with d guilt..i’ll rather u remain silent about it….
Amara Obianuju
October 18, 2012 at 1:19 pmNina, it’s a difficult thing to do but you just have to let him know about your relationship with the father. If he truely loves you and if his God’s will for you he will forgive you and move on with the marriage. Pls, don’t let your past hunt you especially now that you have known christ. We all have past mistakes but if christ can forgive us then, we have a future. God bless you as you take a bold step…
Oge
October 18, 2012 at 1:19 pmNina dear, I don’t think there’s any need for u to tell him. Wat u did was in d past. And u hav repented of it way long b4 u met ur man. It only becomes a sin nw if u go back to it and d father in question is late. I think u shld let sleeping dogs lie. Men are like babies and whether u like it or not, information like ds distabilizes them and even tho he assures u dat everytin is fine,wen d ups n downs of marriages starts cmin up, he may bring it up.. I think u should jst pray n ask God for d grace to pull through. Let sleeping dogs lie.
Olutade Monisola Funmilola
October 18, 2012 at 1:20 pmPls my dear sister 4 u to have peace of mind nd to enjoy ur marriage,pls let him know.

October 18, 2012 at 1:21 pmDon’t do this…unless u prepared to lose ur man..some secrets re best be buried…especially since the dad in question is dead…let it stay buried nd bear ur guilt.
Austine festus
October 18, 2012 at 1:22 pmMy dear let the past be the past since the boy father is late bec if you tell him the story you may end up loseing your man, remeber how you ment is father be wise and enjoy your man best of luck.

Stephanie Saliu
October 18, 2012 at 1:25 pmThere’s no need if not ur goin to lose evrytin. He’s dead he’s dead d secret shuld b buried. You dint do it intentionally, u didn’t know u were goin to date his son. Sometimes things happen that we can’t just control. Destiny!
Uju
October 18, 2012 at 1:30 pmThink God in his infinite mercy let you meet his son after his father had died, don’t go blowing it cos of your guilty conscience. The only downside I can forsee if you don’t tell your Beau is, one of his father’s friends myt recognise you and tell hid son. In as much as I feel you shouldn’t tell him, if you confront this demon now, it will be dead and buried. Only one of two things can happen, 1. He gets over it and calls it your past and goes ahead with the plan or 2. He calls tge whole thing off. However i’m still wondering how you will cope with looking his mum in the face knowing you were once her husband’s mistress. If I were the one tho I would just opt out cos I fear that even if GE forgives my past, he may use it to taunt me in the future and it won’t be nice.

cece
October 18, 2012 at 1:33 pmnina what a pity but don,t worry since you said you are now a good christian no need to worry about that the man in question is death, the guilt is the result of the sin it will alway be there that is the bitter part of sin. but dear forget it if you have told him your past before you don,t need to mention names of people you have dated before but make sure you tell him your past because it help to build trust.
stuch
October 18, 2012 at 1:38 pmI’ll start by saying nothing is hidden under the sun. The father of your fiance is dead agreed, but remenber his friends might still be alive to recognize you someday. So I’ll advice you be the first to talk to your ‘man’ about Your unwise past and see what happens.
Joy
October 18, 2012 at 1:38 pmHi nina, u made a mistake by dating his father while u were in skul… Lets assume u were naive nd foolish but dat is in d past now.. I think u should let u fiance knw abt d affair u had with his dad… I knw dat no average man would want 2 marry a lady who has slept wit his dad but 4 d fact dat he is going 2 spend d rest of his life wit u, he deserves 2 knw.. If he trully luvs u, d marriage will stii hold. Say d truth nd d truth will set u free. If u were meant 2 marry him he’ll 4give u nd wat will be will surely be….. Take care
tess
October 18, 2012 at 1:42 pmDear nina,itz @ll in d past now nd ur now a changed person,God has done it by giving u a life partner.let’s face reality the man is late that ends d story of ur past if God dint rember it u shudnt tell your so to call husband 2 b,dnt tell him.assumn d man was alive den I will say spill it 2 him.may God give u d hrt 2 put ur past behind n forge ahead.

October 18, 2012 at 1:43 pmNah. Keep it secret. No man wants to know his wife has been a prostitute, much less with his own father
Obioma JD LEONARD
October 18, 2012 at 1:43 pm4sure thats A touching and cumbersome ISSUE,yes,a verse in one bible chapters says that things of the past should not come to mind,and i strongly believe that whateva sin there may be,the right judge is the one who is invisible and tru what u’v said that shows that u have felt remorse b4 God by showng a repentant attitude.i advice u to move on and stop raising late maters since the late soon-to-be fatherinlaw is no more,4sure God must have set things straight,4sure if u start remindng him ur past dirty activities,weather u hav changed or not as an imperfet human being it wl b very had for him to forget and ur thereby mocking God.in all be reasonable while making your final decision.tek care[JD LEONARD]

October 18, 2012 at 1:47 pmGoodday aunty steph, ♍ƺ advice to ur friend ȋ̝̊̅Ƨ̷̜̌̋ dat, she shouldn’t tell her fiance since the relationship has lead to marriage.N̶̲̥̅̊☺ sensable man will hear such thing & still continue with
The marriage. Since dat man ȋ̝̊̅Ƨ̷̜̌̋ N̶̲̥̅̊☺ more alive,she should keep it to herself. Let it be between her, u her friend & God. And she should pray to God to 4give her sins so dat her marriage will be peaceful.
bobby
October 18, 2012 at 1:47 pmHmmm! Dis is a tough situation. I bliv its d best to discuss d whole of ur past with ur fiance so he can trust n defend u in future. However, there’r 2 sides to dis issue, u tell him now bearing in mind that u r ready for all d consequences dat follows it and u don’t say a word to him and those friends of ur late father in-law attend ur wedding and found dat u were once in dr past. Since u av given ur life to christ I bliv he has 4giving u and giving a brand new life n body, tlk to him let him teach u wat to do and aw to go abt it, tell him to silent all ur accusers whether in d past or present. God will take charge and he will give u double blessing for ur shame.
sunday faruna
October 18, 2012 at 1:51 pmDestiny can be delay but can never be change.may be god want her in that family.my only advice 4 her is 2 follow her mind.so that she will not blame anybody later.
prudence
October 18, 2012 at 1:52 pmI will advice,you don’t disclose such to him.that was your unversity mistake,which is suppose to remain that way.if you tell him that you slept wth his father,he will dump you.no man would want to marry a lady that slept with his own father.that dalemma will never leave him if he hears such.if you love him.don’t torment him,with the mistakes of the past.you are not the first lady that have slept with a married man.almost 75% of ladies have slept & still sleeping with married men.just ask God for forgiveness & allow the sleeping dog lie.thankGod the old man is dead.maybe that is the way God wants it.wsh you success in your married life
mayano
October 18, 2012 at 1:52 pmMy advice to Nina is to go on her knee confess to God and ask for forginess after doing this and she found peace in her spirit then she can carry on with her husband to be ‘cos if she tells him, then she should be ready for the worse. Honestly, no man will want to marry a lady that his father has dated be it dead or alive. Good job Steph!!!!!!!!!!!
mayungbe Bukonla Ibukun
October 18, 2012 at 1:52 pmHmmm!wat a smal world!since now claim 2 av knwn God $ repented of ur past sins,d only tin I wd implore u 2 do is 2 restitute ur ways.tel it 2 God in prayers. U weren’t his father’s wife nau u only had a fling wth him out of youthfl lust in d past

October 18, 2012 at 1:55 pmHelo Nina,” if a man is in Christ Jesus he is a new creature de old has past behold all tins ar bcome new” dnt alow ur past mistakes destroy ur future .let it go out of u foreva
jennifer egbuonu
October 18, 2012 at 1:55 pmin all honesty, i dnt think its necessary to share this with him, the man in Question is Dead and Gone…hence that takes away the possibility of being haunted by the truth later on, jst let sleeping dogs lie and go ahead with your relationship. some things are better left unsaid…Best of Luck
mucharcha
October 18, 2012 at 2:00 pmI’d say let the sleeping dog lie if you want to keep him. The way guys process informations is very different from women, he may never be able to forgive u. But of course since u’ve turned around your ways and wish to live a guilt-free life, you can go ahead and spill but prepared to lose your marriage except for the grace of God. So here is to your choice, I wish you luck.
PeterA
October 18, 2012 at 2:05 pmNina, since you are a strong believer of God, I pray you keep away your guilt and remain focus on your relationship bcos the bible says-old things shall pass away; you are a new person. Stay bless.

October 18, 2012 at 2:09 pmHi stephie dia,how ar u,yah dat thing nina gone thru,isn’t a new thing,ts just smthing happens smtimes,and as my advice to nina,is she has. To make sure she goes wth da mood of her fiancee if she wanna tell him so,coz I believe if she won’t tell him now it will kip on hornting her and ts gonna be a big deal later,so wat to do is nina to think bout da earlier da better.I believe if da guy really love her he will find a place smwhere on his heart to forgive her,she iznt da first one and morever she. Didn’t know dis could happen ,was just a foolish age.So sweetie stephie tell her to read her fiancees moo ,location and how to explain to him,she’s a grown gal she knows,when u wanna tell a men a sad storry how can u twist yoself as a woman.love ya.gud day

October 18, 2012 at 2:15 pmAm of d view dat u shd jst forget abt d past.Dnt tel hm anytin,cos telling hm wud rather mak ur relationship to crumble,telling him has notin good to add to ur relationship so jst play ok since ur father in- law to b is already late.I pray this helps.

October 18, 2012 at 2:16 pmIn my candid opinion,you need to tell him and let him make his choice. Don’t you think you will come across his father’s friend one day.
Emilia N.
October 18, 2012 at 2:20 pmFor me I see no reason of telling him de truth since he is death. Becos dat might end the relationship. Pray to God for forgiveness.

October 18, 2012 at 2:20 pmPls let the secret die with the man oh…….. Just forget it even happened
Violet
October 18, 2012 at 2:24 pmHe may not find it funny O, though some men are not what we assume about them. Who/how is your fiance when it comes to anger, does he have a listening ear, when he forgive does he refer to your past? Then I would say tell him on time, and quit the relationship not for anything but for how you fill, and see his reactions. He may realize that it is not every woman that will open up like you, and that his father was also wrong though dead, and that if you are proud of it you wouldn’t talk. This time around he will not tell anyone but call you back for good, making ready answer for any intruder during and after marriage.
Chidozie uzochukwu
October 18, 2012 at 2:25 pmMy dear nina you have to tell the man everything about you and his father don’t mind weda he go vase or quit the relationship.but i promise u that if the man is ur own husband that God will complete his work tank U.
Mogun Nelvin
October 18, 2012 at 2:28 pmMen have large egos, since the father in question is late, it’ll be better if she deal with her guilt being a small price to pay compared to, if she tells the guy and he changes his mind, which she can’t ascertain, cos men can’t be predicted, he might be very caring and so much in luv with her but you can’t guarantee what he’ll do if he ever finds out that she was sleeping with his dad when he was alive, then, again, another twist to the story is, if its possible that some of his dad’s friends will recognize her and blow the whistle to the son….
Nwode onyi
October 18, 2012 at 2:39 pmMy idear concern the matter, if i were she I have to let his him know what has happen in the past if she truely love his fiancee becide what if something is occor after marriage,it’s good for both to know there mind and being pray together and cancerl any obstacle that can hinda there way of marrige, although”it is not earser but you have to as christian.
micmaureen
October 18, 2012 at 2:40 pmDear Nina! I thank God that you are now a born again christian, those things you did were in the past and now you are a changed person. Remember that Bible said “for there is no condemnation against them that are in Christ Jesus, old things have passed away,everything have become new” and you know very well that Holy Spirit helps us to intercede. Now I want you to ask God for forgiveness, and still ask the Holy spirit to give the man the heart of forgiveness as you confess all your deeds to him for Bible says that “the heart of a king is in Gods hand”, then go ahead and confess to him ,he will forgive you,though he will be hurt. If you hide this,a day shall come that your secrets will be revealed and it will be very difficult for him to forgive you. So now, show him your love by confessing it to him with your mouth. Do not give room for satan to be accusing you and black mailing you with your past life,rather put the devil to shame. God will see you through in Jesus name, Amen.

Jonathan
October 18, 2012 at 2:42 pmI understand the state you are at the moment.
Your guilt Ȋ̝̊̅§ as a result of your present personality and if you don’t keep things straight, there would be more guilt and your fiancee might get to know which won’t end well.
A lots has happened I̶̲̥̅̊n̶̲̥̅̊ the past and the past has nothing to do with the future. Yes! But one can’t ignore certain issues such as yours.
I would love you to have a heart felt talk with your fiancee on the issue; don’t be scared but show that you’re sorry.
Your past won’t change the way he feels about you if he’s for you.
eunice natasha
October 18, 2012 at 2:48 pmTo me I will say no, all you need to do is sake God forgivness, he will forgive you, he is a mercyful God, so gø on with ur marriage, is a mistake you weree lack of knoledge then so, what has happen has happend, what abt prostutudes, at the eend of the day a man still marry dem @ d spot, dt many pEple hv being slepping with, so continue with ur marrage
Violet
October 18, 2012 at 2:54 pmNina,”He was a randy man and used to come to the campus with some of his friends, and with the help of some popular male students, they’d organise girls for him. That was how I met him. I partied with him and his friends for like 6 months” This is why you are worried. How long can dis be secret, If the man died, the rest people?????? God has forgiven you, yes. But if this is a prize to pay b4 marriage go ahead and do it, than to face the urgliest situtuation after saying I do.What about your friends messing you up out there.
dela
October 18, 2012 at 3:10 pmpls tell him ur past if he really love u he wl forgive u.bcos u’ve met his father before u met him. but believe this if truly he is ur future husband, no matter what he wl understand u n forgive u.
good luck.
Chioma chegwe Sonia
October 18, 2012 at 3:10 pmMy dear believe me wen I say its a small world,a broken relationship is better Dan a broken marriage. Anybody related to your fiance or a friend or even an enemy may have been in d same university with u,dey may tell him in future or even blackmail you,so just try n tell him I know its very difficult,if he’s ur destined husband he will stay. Most men have met dia wife at brothels or have done worst tins,just bear it in mind Dat everyone has a past no one is an exception. May the perfect will of God be done in your life n if he decides to walk away, the same good lord will sure bring a better person,good luck as you free your heart of dis great burden.

October 18, 2012 at 3:24 pmMy dear d past is past. If truelly u’v given ur life to God,ask him to give u peace of mind and free u from the guilt. The bible says if any man is in christ he is a new creature old things are past way….I dont think his father waz the only man u slept with or had an affair with,wat if tommorrow u see one the guys too and he turns out to be his uncle, are u also going to contine telling him trash?Every man has got a past so just let it pass and move on with u life.But if u choose to tell him,hmmmmm.well ask for the help of the Holyspirit….May God help u

October 18, 2012 at 4:51 pmi dont think u should tell him, that was ur past and u pulled out of the relationship before the man died. no need feeling guilty about it, he may use it to spite u in future and if u cant stand it just walk away and not marry him. old things are passed away!

October 18, 2012 at 8:57 pmNa wa o, it’s like finding out dat ur fiancee is d sister to one of d men who killed d aluu 4 [assuming one of dem were to be ur brother]. how do u xpect d person & d family to live wit such information. Nina dont even think of deceiving ursef. U knew from start or somwer along d line dat it’s glarin u must cal it quits. What would u do if u were d guy? Pls let’s not judge dis matter lightly. If u call d relationship off, i wil respect u; but if u enter into marriage without clearin dis matter on ground, i wil fear u. U r a changed person or so u say. My concludin answer to u is ”DO WAT U KNOW IS RIGHT FROM UR GODLY CONSCIENCE”. Only God know’s what dis world is turning into. thankyou Stephanie.

October 19, 2012 at 12:07 amNina, I believe right now u re in a confused state. Just comit everything into the hand of God. U have repented wht u did is in the past n is hunting u. If telling him will free ur conscience then do, it tell him but, b4 u do that, fast n pray to God to give ur fiance the grace to 4give u n erase it 4rm his memory. If it doesn’t happen like this u won’t be able to know what advice n lesson to give to ur children. U may not kw how to bring them up. Involve God in this ok!

October 19, 2012 at 9:49 amIf truly you are born again and had stopped those acts since before meeting him, please dont tell him. One of the problems we Christians have is not God forgiving us but we forgiving ourselves when we had made a change in life. You never knew him then. Luckily, his father is late. Forgive yourself and march on. Feel free and enjoy your marriage. Nobody has no element of skeleton in his cupboard.

October 19, 2012 at 7:10 pmYou are a new creation, old things have passed away behold all things are now new. So my dear forget it… It will be bitter to swallow oooo.. My honest opinion. You are a changed person for Christ’s sake and besides this happened years back… abeg Babes go drink cold water and prepare for your marriage oooo and stop bothering ur head on what doesnt exist…. Best of luck

October 19, 2012 at 9:15 pmDear Nina,
The truth will set you free. Isn’t it strange how you have come full circle to marry the son of the man you messed around with.
It’s not as if you dated both of them at the same time. You found out later…and his father is late now.
I will advise that you start your marriage with a clean slate – no skeletons in the cupboard that can jump out at you in the future.
So pray to God for the grace and strength to get this off your chest. If your man is meant for you…then he will be yours.
Remain blessed and be strong

October 19, 2012 at 10:09 pmTrust when lost can not easily be gotten back especially with man.pls,don‘t let the past hurt ur future happiness by not letting him knw now.He will feel the pain becos it is his father & to u,it was a mistake.Remember,we all make mistake no matter how hard we try GOD will direct u!
AOA
October 20, 2012 at 2:48 pmGod said confess your sin to HIM (GOD) and you shall be forgiven and not confess your sin to man, you are a changed person, he knows you had your share of experience in life that is enough, you do not need to give him details of who, why and how it happens anything happened. If the old man were to be alive the case will be different, match on with your life and be a wonderful wife to him. WISDOM IS PROFITABLE TO DIRECT…..

October 20, 2012 at 8:24 pmHmmnnn Nina,tbh I am an old fashioned person….honesty is important..but the fact that his father died b4 u met him does mean something…please don’t ruin what you have..there are some secrets that should REMAIN secrets….be wise dear…u weren’t dating him then,so you don’t owe him any explanation as per your past

October 21, 2012 at 4:47 pmI would only advice the lady to tell the guy about her past and leave out stuffs about the guy’s father and if they have t o come back to the issue later in life and that is if at all the guy gets to know ,she could link it to d story she told him about her past,telling him might bring upon his scorn and his mother’s scorn

October 21, 2012 at 8:36 pmDear Lina,
The bible say when you are a new creature old things are passed away,for the fact that the father is dead,let it be ,you can only feel guilty if he was alive,now his dead ,so forget it and move on with your wedding plans.
Doris
October 23, 2012 at 8:30 amMy dear, don’t know what to say but know that it is always good to let ur spouse know about your past to avert future issues. Am married and i told my hubby all about my past before we got married and he was okay with but when we are in an argument he always use it against me..it hurts alot but the fact that God has forgiven me and he knows keeps me at bay. PRAY HARD ABOUT IT AND LET YOUR INSTINCTS GUIDE YOU

October 23, 2012 at 9:56 pmLook at these Nigerians oh! Lady, guilt, conscience or whatever is bothering you is secondary. It seems to me that you do not intend to keep your relationship with your bobo. Do you? Like, do you wanna marry him? Newsflash! The second you tell Oga that you shagged his Daddy, it is over!! Kaput! Finito! Try it and see. Would you marry a man who tells you he had an affair with your mother? He comes up to you and says “my baby, my love” I have something I wanna tell you, I slept with your mom. I was young and foolish and she enticed me with cash and gifts.” Tell me if you wouldn’t have fainted by now. I know I must sound harsh, but my sincere advice is this: I am a woman, I have a man who loves me, I wouldn’t wanna lose him. I did not shag his father, but I still do have secrets of my own that he must never ever find out. I won’t risk my relationship over a 50/50 chance of forgiveness or not. He may or may not forgive you. Do you really want to find out which? Go down on your knees, crawl on the floor, roll around your bedroom, alone, cry to God. He is the one who forgives every sin. He will repair your heart and renew your spirit. If you still think, after praying, that you should tell Oga, then fine. You will find someone else and start a new free life with. Take it easy. Its not the end, okay?

October 24, 2012 at 11:09 amplease tell him. his father’s friend may com for the wedding and anything can happen, is better u tell him now my dearie

October 24, 2012 at 2:49 pmitmwill be better if u can share ur secret with him.although his father has died,what of some of his father’s friend that know u wen u’re dating his father.

October 24, 2012 at 3:44 pmahaaaaaaaaa, serious something, sound like spider that i normally watch, someone like me, i will tell him the plain truth, i can not stand feeling guilty or miserable, there is nothing as beautiful as inner peace with the one you love, its all up to you!!!!
Odiniya Emma
October 29, 2012 at 5:55 pmThis is a tough one…….. There are two options i feel u could handle this matter…….1. If u can bear the guilt, keep it to urself and let it die with u 2. If u cant bear the guilt, tell him the truth. If he really loves you, he will forgive u….. But i will advice u go with the first option
naa
October 31, 2012 at 3:13 pmHi dear
Please don’t do this, don’t tell him anything, when you were dating his father, you didnt know him. its past and gone let bygones be bygones. I f you have confess to God and has really changed your ways, he has already forgiven you.

December 23, 2012 at 8:18 amThe only possible outcome of a dating relationship based strongly on the following pillars; Openness, Sincerity and Trust is MARRIAGE……………Think about this………………..If you are truly a changed Person, I’ll advise that u apply the FOUR WAY TEST
1. Is it the truth
2. Is it fair to all concerned
3. Will it build goodwill and better friendship
4. will it be beneficial to all concerned
The choice is yours, don’t be cajoled to make a choice you’ll regret for a lifetime. OPEN UP…….PRAY WITHOUT CEASING………APPLY WISDOM AND CAUTION.
Ijeoma Okolie
December 23, 2012 at 8:25 amRepentance+Restitution = Total Forgiveness.
No man is infallible.
U never knew he was his father then.
Don’t let anyone make you feel condemned.
We all have baggage.
Jesus knew all this and chose to die for us while we were yet sinners.
Overwhelming victory is yours.
Let love lead.
