My ex and I started as a friend; after years, I realized she really cared about me as a friend—she did what my girlfriend couldn’t do. Years later, I was single, told her about my breakup with my girlfriend while she was single. We both said we didn’t want a relationship after she asked me out to be her boyfriend since we really cared about each other. I accepted to date her while she was in school at the moment with no good phone. When she came to Lagos, I bought her an Android phone, making good memories together. During that moment, I noticed she was having affairs with a guy in her school. I couldn’t just hold it; I asked her about it. She said it’s a friend that helped her during hard times in school. Meanwhile, I told her about all my exes, my experience with them all, while she never said anything about her own. I was so in love with her, seeing her as my future wife. My mom and my family loved her—she was everything to me until I found out she’s dating the same guy I asked about during the early part of our relationship.

The relationship made me exhausted, gave me a breakdown—imagine someone I called my partner, someone I do everything I can for, never believe I don’t have money, and she knows if I have, I will always do for her as I had bought her countless gifts. In the end, I was so mad and frustrated and told her I’m done with her; also sent her away from my crib. A week after, I called to apologize for my actions. I kept begging and pleading for over a year, but she never accepted me back. While I forgave her during the time she did me wrong, she made me wait until she found someone and ended up telling me she’s in another relationship because she sees I’m not financially stable. I learned a lot in the relationship, even in life; it made me realize a lot…
