IamDora:
Dear Nairalanders, Good evening to you all. I'm in a state of delima right now and I'm so confused on what to do that's why I decided to bring the issue here.

I have a Cousin, he's wealthy and we used to be very close to each other, we do alot of things and talking together. Even when we do meet at Villa during festive periods, we are always together 24/7 that people do think I'm the one eating his money. (If cousins were to marry each other, we would've married ourselves)

So fast forward to 2020, things began to take a new turn, he began to change towards me completely, he hardly picks my calls, neither does he reach out to me thereafter to know why I called (Mind you, I'm not a leech to him, as my family were very comfortable too) When I lost my mom (May her soul rest in peace) this my said cousin never called me to sympathize with me, and I didn't hold it against him either. He started giving me space, I tried everything possible to know why the sudden space from him, but to no avail. So I kept my cool and distanced myself from him.

So fast forward to this 2022, his fiancee (Whom I knew her from him) called me on the 20th of last month to tell me that their wedding is on the 18th of this month and she would so much like me to be in attendance! My cousin never bothered informing me about it even till now!

Now my question is,' Should I honour the said invitation by his Fiancee and attend their wedding or I should stay back and call her to wish her Happy Married Life after their Wedding? embarassed

Please help me push this to front page so I'll get a wider audience to share their opinions.

Thank you.

Did you at any time have anything amorous together, however 'small'?

He probably told his fiance about it and the fiance has been able to successfully build the barrier she wanted. Her being the one to inform you is the prove that she is the one in charge.

Attend the wedding, on your terms. I mean if it convenient for you and on your personal conviction, not based on how others have 'controlled' you.

In as much as what I'm about to say may sound crazy.... I think he's having serious feelings for you...
And maybe he finds it stupidly ridiculous telling you about it..he decided to go about it in that manner. sad

My advise....simply ignore him..... If possible, keep off his lanes....just be scarce.
Forget him and live your full life.

Someday, it'll occur to him that he didn't handle the situation maturedly..

If you have any atom of self respect in you, do not go. His wife to be shouldn't be the one inviting you. He probably doesn't see you worth inviting, so respect yourself!

And you shouldn't force him to tell you why he is keeping his distance. He is an adult. If he can't tell you the reason, let him keep it.

I've met people who when you offend they just give you the silent treatment, cut off and move on.

There are also the ones who will call you immediately you offend them, talk and talk and talk until they get it off their chest.

I believe her cousin falls in the former group, it's not about being man enough it's their nature, they won't tell you. You're are the one that would notice their withdrawal and begin to sense that something is wrong.

When you begin to meet different kinds of people you'll understand what I'm saying much better.

The A, B, C and D of life. Understanding the varying human behaviours helps us live with and around people.

Re: Please Help! Should I Attend The Wedding Or Not? by Britishpea: 12:15pm On Jun 02, 2022
When people u think u didn’t offend cut u off, please double cut them off totally in your life.

If they feel hurt about you cutting them off too, let them come back and ask you why? Then, open up to them what they did. They accuse you of not asking, accuse them of not telling you why they cut u off initially.

Who gets time for rubbish! One thing I always advise is make sure u don’t backbite people and don’t wish them bad.

Avoid the damn wedding the same way we avoided Public gatherings during Covid.

You should find out why he withdrew totally from you first before honouring the invitation.

Siblings and close cousins don't just cut off from each other for no reason unless he heard a rumour about a negative remark you made about him, or you provoked him, or did something that made him feel very bad without even knowing and he's been holding it against you.

My advice would be for you to call him. If you two reside in the same state, request for a meeting, and find out what went wrong and apologize.

Good luck.
My thoughts too.
Re: Please Help! Should I Attend The Wedding Or Not? by Akhee: 12:19pm On Jun 02, 2022
Don't go and embarrassed yourself. The best you can do is to call the fiancee and congratulate her. Let him know you have feelings too.

Go for the wedding. Your not going will be used against you in future. You'll start looking like a bad person. By going, you have bragging rights.

However, I suggest you don't eat there. You just take a bottle of water along with you to drink. If you're to eat (I'm worried about poisoning), ensure the food is served in your presence.

Also, if anyone tries to enrage you, just turn the other cheek and remain calm. Ignore any indignity poured on you.

Never fight with a pig in mud. It will enjoy it but you won't. Eventually, greet friends and relatives and leave the venue. Don't forget to take pictures.

Something isn't right here, you knew his fiancée from him and you were close at that time, so probably this same fiancée weigh the bridge between you guys cos she was insecure at that time and would have brought in constant fight between them, so the need for the distance, and now she happens to be the one to call you. Just hope she isn't a manipulator in this scenario but in all, send the voice note as someone earlier suggested, you never know what would be revealed and if reads without giving you any tangible reasons or after reading the voice note, keeps mute, then day your day, go out with friends, visit cinema or go shopping. Be happy

Babe, i would advise you to attend the wedding, but do not be active. Make sure the couple notices (sights) you. I know why.
Please ignore people telling you not to attend. You were invited by the bride, disregard that it wasn't your cousin who did but honor the invite all thye same.
Remember, just attend and "show your face". Take a picture or two to regsiter your presence.
Finito, You did your part.

If someone who is family isn’t inviting you to his wedding. Then just give the fiancée an excuse and skip the event. Why go and fake a smile, put on clothes and waste 5/6 hours.
