This is the first time I am ranting because my love life is really bothering me. I don’t know what to do, honestly. I don’t feel too good about the person I’m dating, but I just have to be in this relationship because my mom keeps pressuring me about getting married, saying I’m getting old (I’m 28 years old). So, I started dating this guy early this year with the hope that maybe I would fall for him along the way. But this guy is not even helping the situation; he’s not caring, not romantic, no sweet talk—he just knows we’re dating. The only thing he sees in me are my flaws. He takes everything I say too personally and is always ready to use it against me.
I’m not saying I’m perfect, but there’s a way your partner should treat you that makes you feel like they are the one for you. After seven months, he said he is still trying to get to know me—someone over 35 years old! So, one day I decided to test him to see how he really feels about me. I told him I was pregnant, and his response was just “okay.” From that, I already knew something was off. Two days later, he called me and said, regarding what I told him, that he’s not ready and that it feels like I’m trying to pin the pregnancy on him.
He said I’d be drinking garri because he hadn’t kept any money anywhere. This is someone who has everything it takes to take care of a child and a wife. I want to know if I should continue with him or just let him go because, from the look of things, I don’t think he has any feelings for me. Please, family, I’m seeking your opinion on this matter—maybe I’m expecting too much from him. This is not about money; I just want to love someone and be loved in return.
