I am here to rant and perhaps seek advice. I am in a relationship with a man five years older than me, and it seems really unproductive. Now, before you say things like “don’t depend on a man,” “this and that,” “a broke girl,” and the like, I am financially stable on my own. Now back to my rant. I do not know what to do anymore. Everything my boyfriend does basically ends up fruitless. Now, half of it is his fault, I presume. He is a graduate who has chosen not to do 9-5 because the salary is low, which I understand. Now, I’m a lady who earns well through my business. Some days I earn N70k as gain, and on a bad day, I earn N10k – N20k at least. I cannot even tell my boyfriend because I will end up using the money to foot one or two things in the relationship. I have been his pillar since, and I am tired.
I am still very young. Yes, he is a good man, loving, caring, and loyal. However, you cannot truly know a man’s character until he has money, but I strongly believe he is a good one. I am just tired. I even introduced him to my business, but he does not want to do the work and wants to get the same customers I get. I spent years building my business—close to four years—and I did not even give myself the support I gave him in the business. He believes in doing Yahoo even though he has another business he has sidelined. I am tired and frustrated. Most times, he asks me how business is, and I cannot even tell him the truth. I believe he is pulling me backward financially. Aside from this, he is a wonderful man. What do I do?
