Paul is a handsome man by all standards. He is every woman’s dream: a tall chocolate of a man, lovely white dentition, very successful, complete six-pack and has a great sense of humour. I mean, what more could a woman ask for? So when he asked me to be his lady, I was confident that dreams and fantasies do come true.

I didn’t even think twice or play hard to get, I jumped at the offer immediately. And we had such a great time; for the first week, second week, one month…but something was off. Spending money on other people was not in Paul’s DNA, like, he could not even if he tried.

There was a day he invited me for a wedding ceremony of one of his politician friends. I had heard so much about the wedding and I made sure I looked my best. He was also looking very handsome in his white native attire. On the way to the venue in his posh Range Rover, we passed a rough patch and one of the tyres went flat. A man offered to help change the tyre for N200 but Brother Paul refused o. He said the money was too much and that he would rather change it himself. N200!

He succeeded in changing the tyre. He also succeeded in getting his white attire dirty. Needless to say, we didn’t go for the wedding again. I kept thinking in my head, what excuse would he give his friend for not attending the wedding? N200?

The guy has money o, plenty of it, so money wasn’t the issue. In fact the very next day, he bought a wristwatch for himself that cost a little over N100,000. I kept ignoring all these red flags sha, coming up with excuses for him. Until the day Paul said he doesn’t want to have any children because children are too expensive to cater for. Ha! I took to my heels immediately.

Even the Bible is against stinginess. The richest man in the Bible, King Solomon, said, “do not eat the bread of a man who is stingy, do not desire his delicacies, for he is like one who is inwardly calculating. ‘Eat and drink!’ he says to you, but his heart is not with you…” Proverbs 23: 6-7.

Every woman prays that her man is successful and has sufficient money to take care of her. But what do you do when your prayers are answered; your man is wealthy but refuses, adamantly refuses, to spend the money on you?

Have you been with a stingy person before? How did you cope with him/her? Can a person be cured of stinginess? [url][/url]www.tylegal.com
