So, I’m currently in a relationship with a guy that does almost nothing for me. He knows how I’m struggling to make ends meet and still does not support me. I go to see him almost all the time and he barely gives me tfare to go back home. The highest amount he has given me for tfare is N1k. Even before we started dating, I went to see him often and he didn’t give me tfare. On my birthday last year, he didn’t get me anything, but I did get something for him on his birthday. Although he is emotionally intelligent—he’s soft and gentle with me—he doesn’t want to do anything for me. He has never given me money for my upkeep or anything. I registered for a lash class this year. This guy didn’t support me with one naira. On Valentine’s Day, he didn’t get me anything. He said Valentine is overhyped. Later on, he said the person that was supposed to deliver my gift disappointed him. When I make my hair, he always wants to see it, but he has never paid for it. My birthday was last month. I did a shoot and told him all my plans about the shoot—he still didn’t add a dime.
I did it all by myself. He keeps saying he has great plans for me but does nothing—only wants to have sex with me and caress me. The thing is that I want to leave him, but another part of me doesn’t want to because I feel like he has done nothing wrong to me. Another part of me feels like I deserve better. I feel bad about the thought of leaving him because he’s emotionally there for me. I don’t know if I should stay or go.
