In 2020, I met my ex. Our talking stage was so interesting to the extent that we couldn’t go a day without talking to each other. Then, in January, I decided to ask her out, which she accepted. She’s someone that lives in my area, which my friends and people that are close to me knew. Right after I asked her out, one of my friends told me I shouldn’t try to date her, that she and her family don’t have a good plan for me. I didn’t listen because I thought he might just be jealous and didn’t want us to be together, so I continued the relationship. After 4 months, she asked me to change her phone first. I became so worried because we hadn’t even been together for 6 months, and she was asking me to change her phone. Well, I didn’t, and she kept pressuring me until I bought it for her. Then the billing started coming. Though she didn’t bill me all the time, whenever she did, it was a big billing. She even told me to celebrate her convocation for her.
I was really broke then, so I couldn’t afford anything. We fought for days because of that, but then fixed it again. Her NYSC relocation came too, and she asked me for money. I gave her N30k out of the N60k she asked for, but she told me it was too small and started holding a grudge. She even told me she wanted to refund the money, but I didn’t collect it back. It got to the point where no matter what I did for her, she was not satisfied, always wanting me to cover all her expenses, which I couldn’t because I had my own bills to sort too. I told her to ask her parents, but she said she couldn’t because they thought she was grown and had a boyfriend, so she couldn’t bother them. It went on like that. Then, when she wanted to do her pop for NYSC, she asked me for money for a photoshoot. I gave her N40k. You won’t believe it, the werey told me it was too small, and she refunded the money back.
I collected it, and I told her I wasn’t interested in the relationship anymore. But her family was involved, so they helped us settle it. There’s nothing I didn’t do for this girl that I can’t even mention here, but still, she thought I should do more. For the 3 years that we dated, she only gifted me a wristwatch worth N20k. On her birthday, I bought a wig, bag, cake, and even sent her money, going close to N250k. I was not around, so she expected me to send more money for an outing after all the gifts and money I sent her. So on her birthday, we weren’t even on good terms. Now, after all the warnings people gave me not to date her, and I didn’t listen, I later regretted it because she only came for the game. See, it’s good to listen to your friends sometimes and not think they are jealous of your relationship. They might be seeing what you don’t see.
