Commenting on the story, a relationship expert, Peace Onwuegbu, said it is not bad to visit your partner's family.
"It is not wrong to visit your partner's family. You only have to be certain that you are not forcing it. Don't force yourself to be there. Go when your presence will actually be appreciated not forcefully or desperately," she said.
Reactions as lady follows boyfriend to village
Nigerians had different things to say in the comments section of the video.
@Chinenyeokeke said:
"What are you doing in a village where ur bf family has not come to pay ur bride price or married u sef."
@Buzor said:
"This generation sef. What is wrong in helping out your potential mother inlaw to shop for items? It's even a way of bonding. Let's not see everything from a negative angle."
@Jwhite028 said:
"If na your mama, shey you go gree carry that the thing?? if the ans us yes, then God bless you."
@Mmilibuaku said:
"There's one thing most people here don't know, before the woman asked her to follow her to the market, the woman is already in love with the young lady with all her heart. Parents don't ask friends of their children help or send them erran, if they don't like them."
@Eugenia said:
"For me I don’t see anything wrong with it because it’s a bare minimum I can do it for a total stranger. Don’t come for me Abeg."
@lolex commented:
"It's good as this generation think they will all marry billionaire bcos I don't see anything bad in having a good relationship with mother in-law. Mother in-law is just like ur mother. If your mother in-law took you for shopping in an expensive boutique you will jump right but you cannot follow her to market bcos she live in village."
@Val added:
"I no do all ds one but him still pay my pride price, take me go vacation outside country, ex wey I over do for, pay him bro hospital bill plus buy gifts for him sibling, all I got was regret n maltreatment, abeg ladies ds is 2026 sey boundaries n stop d desperation or doing too much."
