At times when things aren’t going too well for him, he would ask me for
support which I usually oblige him. But I noticed that whenever I ask
him for assistance he would wonder why I should ask him for money when
I’m working.
Because of my feelings for him as well as the fact that he was barely making ends meet, I ignored this aspect of him.
In
2013, we had an argument about child issue and I told him categorically
that I can’t have a child outside wedlock. We quarreled and we were
settled by his friend. Early last year, he started talking about
marriage and actually came in September to see my people with drinks. He
also took me to Delta State to introduce me to his parents. During one
of the public holidays last year, he also took me to visit his priest as
well. We also bought our wedding rings as well as made plans to print
the wedding invitations. We planned the court wedding to coincide with
my birthday while the introduction and traditional ceremonies was to
take place in December.
Even though we had agreed not to
entertain guests but when I informed my mother about this arrangement,
she protested our decision so I paid for entertainment.
And when I
informed him about the development, he wasn’t pleased that I went
against our decision. To avoid trouble, I apologized and promptly
informed the lady I had paid money to provide us with refreshments not
to go ahead. He however gave his consent afterwards promising to refund
my money.When I called him the following day to enquire how his movement to
Port-Harcourt for the court wedding would be, it was then he informed me
about the suggestion of his elder brother to put on hold the court
wedding until after the introductions. Even though I was angry, I
reasoned it was the proper thing to do. However after that development, I
started noticing changes in his attitude towards me prompting me to ask
if he has changed his mind about the relationship.
This prompted
him to open up to me that although his heart is yet to decide; his mind
was made up about the future of the relationship.
Given the
implications of his statement, I was devastated, given the extent of the
preparations we had made. To underscore my apprehension was his
follow-up statement that his heart is as strong as stone since his ex
girlfriend left him three years ago.Agatha, that statement, almost killed me because I had been very
faithful, loyal, very open and sincere in the relationship. I
immediately packed his rings and sent them to him. Some days ago he
called but I refused to take his calls. He then sent a text message
appealing we remain friends even though things didn’t work out between
us.
Please, I’m badly and deeply hurt because I have never
disappointed any man, so why did he have to disappoint me at the very
stage we were? I need your help on how to get over this issue.I started dating my 37 year old boyfriend in 2010 before our national
youth service. We continued our relationship until I got a job in 2012
and he started his own business centre.
