A broke man + a financially secure lady = Award winning drama.

Better hustle to maintain and enact your dignity or one day you will wash her underwears for her with order.

1one: Why not just break up the relationship,and go fix urself...honestly i don't know why some of us guys act so funny(trust me I could have used another word in place of "funny"...it's just too early to start with those toxic words).
What is in a relationship that some of us just run into like a brakesless train(watch the movie unstoppable..u'll get a clearer picture).

You're a man,ur first responsibilty,ur first desire,ur first goal in life should not be a woman,it sd be in defining ur self,achieving ur life goals,being financially secure!!!....Before God brought Eve to Adam,Adam had a job(he was tendering the garden).

I don't even know what a man is doing in a relationship without a job,love is not about money,but money gives expression to love,u need money to properly express love

So dude,My advice is simple...tell her u want to let her go considering the fact that u don't have enough financial weight to bear her needs.

If she's yours,she'll stay and temper her lifestyle to suit ur present circumstance atleast till when u're more financially bouyant.
you are so on point!

I keep saying this:

What a woman in love will be more interested in is that you spend your TIME with her...money comes a distant second.

If you are a man and argue with this statement, its unfortunate that you are being sucked by what is scientifically referred to as: nigerianous vampirous womanus (Nigerian Woman Vampire).

My boyfriend has a job dat doesn't pay much.. I work too, not a big job either. I don't, infact I have NEVER asked him for money. I know he has responsibilities, so I understand. I know it'll get better. If your girlfriend can't bear with u now u r not bouyant, you may have to let her go... When u hit it big, she (and so many others) will come flocking around...

ayox2003: Alright. Absence of money make relationships very challenging but this is the time your girl should know she has a Father. Boys and girls are guilty of this rot in our society. Boys always want to meet their girls need. Why? Honestly, we have made these things the threads that holds our relationship and its very bad. To the extent that when the guy is broke, he can't tell his partner and before u know it, he starts telling lies...and the beat goes on...inferiority complex...lack of trust...till they eventually part ways.

You're making things hard on yourself cos u're in 'broke-lyn'and u're still chilling with a girl who doesn't understand that u need sometime to really find things out.
Emotions does not cost money. Feelings, happiness and satisfaction that comes with loving someone doesn't cost you a dime. Therefore, if a relationship can't stand because of the absence of some measly bucks then it a business and u guys are just business partners.

Mind you, there is nothing like a broke guy/girl in a lovely relationship. Infact, I don't tag people as being broke. But that's me. Once partners are not pests, or business partners as it were, the relationship would thrive if they can both work hard.

Tiwanna: my dear a girl that loves you will always stand by you in any circumstance you find yourself. if she cant do that, then she is just in the relationship for the money you spend on her and not love.

My sister you have said it all.If any girl treats you bad when you don't have money that girl is not for you. A girl that loves you will treat you good whether you have money or not. Love does not base on money alone.

i will not throw verbal jibes at you,but an honest advice.Since you know how tough things are ,coupled with the fact that you are unemployed. why don't you do away with this lady so as to allow you concentrate on achieving something concrete for yourself. Getting a job should be more prime to you now than getting laid.you no dey university again oh!..Dont live a fake life my man, if she wont understand in plain English, gba wa door!.. enough said!

@ Poster: Is your girlfriend asking you to do things for her or are you the one feeling compelled to maintain her? Maybe you started a maintenance culture that you can't keep up now. Why make promises you know you can't keep? Why expose yourself to such embarrassment? Anyways, if your girlfriend is a good person, she'll observe that you're financially slim now & she'll stand by you. If she's not considerate, then you most likely dont need such a woman in your life.
Re: Dating A Broke Man by Nobody: 6:34pm On Jul 26, 2012
i got in my first official, legal relationship during nysc, even talking marriage! my ex was already working and even had a MSc from the UK...we talked about getting a place and we were also talking about me getting a better paying job...with the military ( as if you just go to the military and get hired!) after nysc. Anyway, i'm not generalizing, but it didnt work out, cos my ego was in the way and i didn't see things working out financially in the short-term...she had a jeep, i didnt have a car at the time. so, we called it quits, cos i started acting funny and i needed an escape route which came. Anyway, i wasnt that broke, and i have good prospects, but most of the time, i really see financial status being in the way especially if you have a financially-conscious partner and a chauvinistic ego...it cant work out.
Re: Dating A Broke Man by Nobody: 6:35pm On Jul 26, 2012
GOT THIS FRoM SOMEWHERE
......Maybe God wants us to meet a
few wrong people before meeting
the right one so that when we finally
meet the right person, we will know
how to be grateful for that gift.

When the door of happiness closes,
another opens, but often times we look
so long at the closed door that we don't
see the one which has been opened for us.

The best kind of friend is the kind you
can sit on a porch and swing with,
never say a word, and then walk away
feeling like it was the best
conversation you've ever had.

It's true that we don't know what we've
got until we lose it, but it's also true
that we don't know what we've been
missing until it arrives.

Giving someone all your love
is never an assurance that they'll love you back.
Don't expect love in return;
just wait for it to grow in their heart
but if it doesn't,
be content it grew in yours.

It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone,
an hour to like someone,
and a day to love someone,
but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.

Don't go for looks; they can deceive.
Don't go for wealth; even that fades away.
Go for someone who makes you smile
because it takes only a smile
to make a dark day seem bright.
Find the one that makes your heart smile.

There are moments in life
when you miss someone so much
that you just want to pick them
from your dreams and hug them for real.

Dream what you want to dream;
go where you want to go;
be what you want to be,
because you have only one life
and one chance
to do all the things you want to do.

May you have enough happiness to make you sweet,
enough trials to make you strong,
enough sorrow to keep you human,
enough hope to make you happy.

Always put yourself in others' shoes.
If you feel that it hurts you,
it probably hurts the other person, too.

The happiest of people
don't necessarily
have the best of everything;
they just make the most of everything
that comes along their way.

Love begins with a smile,
grows with a kiss
and ends with a tear.

The brightest future will always be based
on a forgotten past,
you can't go on well in life
until you let go of
your past failures and heartaches.

When you were born, you were crying and
everyone around you was smiling.
Live your life so that when you die,
you're the one who is smiling and
everyone around you is crying.

Ur relationship with her may have been built on a very weak foundation- money, flexing, clubbing, nkwobi etc. You wouldnt be having problems if you had built it on Trust, understanding and true love... My guy the best thing for you is to tell her ur condition, if she cant cope with it... Let her go, it will even offer you the opportunity to organize urself.

Its very unfortunate that most of our girls are too materialistic...what then is the purpose of romance if there is no real love.... Guy wise up.
