Am I overreacting? This might be long or short, I don’t know, but let’s go. I’m in a healthy and happy relationship. We don’t have much, but he’s a great man. We live together, and he does things for me like feeding and giving me money for transportation. I buy him things like clothes, shoes, and all. We are fine, sha. I’m giving these details so y’all don’t say I don’t do anything for him since I said he does the feeding. Sometimes I do too; I cook with my money and all. As things have become expensive, I suggested we should buy enough foodstuffs instead of getting things only when we want to cook. I’m a student, so it took me like a month to gather N60k. Even if I was dying, I wouldn’t touch the money. He borrowed N8k from the money and I had to give him because it was looking somehow. I had asked him to contribute N20k to the money so we could get enough as things are expensive.
Now he’s telling me he doesn’t have money, and I told him I will not touch that money until it’s complete. He asked where he should get money from, as I can see the situation of things, including the N8k he took. He said it doesn’t make sense that we’re spending a lot on buying food when we could just use that money to get what we can. I’m standing my ground that we won’t; he should at least contribute something—it’s not fair. I just want him to contribute. I used to buy foodstuffs before things got expensive, and I’ve never asked him to contribute. I just feel it’s necessary, and I genuinely want him to add something. He’s saying we should use it as it is, and I’m not agreeing. Am I overreacting? I’ve kept that money and haven’t touched it, even when I desperately needed it. I’m like that—if I’m keeping money for something, you’ll never see me touch it, no matter what. I can actually get the whole amount, but I just want him to contribute. Am I overreacting?
