@ telltoo
Hi telltoo, I do not think you are my BF but if I do sound like your babe then I would like to give you some advice.
You need to know that women are wired differently from men. Even though u may see things in different perspectives but u need to learn to think together with her. From your posts, it seems she must have mentioned your shortcomings to you. If you really love her, I wonder why u had to be this bitter and why u had to direct it to her on nairaland too even though you're shocked she’s discussing your issues here.
I suggest if you are no more interested, call her and tell her nicely ( I wont die if my BF does that, it’ll only make me see wider and be wiser. At least I would be convinced he is not the man for me). Don’t waste her time please.
And if you r still interested, a lady needs to see and feel love. Telling her is not enough. You need to show her, no matter how busy you are. (I don’t want my guy to spend all his time with me; I just need to be carried along.) I want to know and see that this relationship is not one sided and that u are not merely pretending.
i guess that's not too much to ask if u are planning to marry her.

hi nooni
i don't think ure my girlfriend either,  obviously some mix up,  but your situation with your boyfriend is so suprisingly similar to mine that i ll try to use u to undertsytand and get through to her.  i calld her a few minutes ago and she assured me she didnt post anything on the internet. shes never even heard of nairaland. however,
1. i do try to carry her along,  however since im not telepathic i can only be aware theres a problem if she communicates that fact to me
2. she s aware of almost all im going through at the moment,  men also need some support
3. i apologised (almost to the point of death 4 forgetting her bday and even tho im aware that most women take stuff like that very seriously,  im reaaly at a loss at what to do next on that issue
4. if she doesnt realise that i love her now,  she ll never realise it,  my so called shortcomings came the fore recently when i started to spend most of my time managing my business,  there are nice ways of letting your boyfriend know youre unhappy with a relationship without hurting his pride. and i don't think the fact that u guys don't go out anymore is strictly his responsibility,  why don't u suggest places for you guys to go?,  except hes totally unwilling to go out with u.

moni u really sound like my girlfriend and i really love her a lot,  i guess both of u are very similar people. y don't u hit me up on yahoo so that we can chat? id really like to undertsand her better through you,  cheerio and goodluck wiht your boyfriend

Women can't be relied upon to "realise" that you love them. You need to verbalise it and show it.

@ davidylan, why do u think that's a bad move?
&
@ telltoo; now, your last post really sound like my boy friend because he can be soo sweet and he easily accepts his fault.(but from all indications you are not him) though your previous posts obviously tell u are tired of your relationship and didn't show u are in love wit her , remember {quote from davidylan ; You need to verbalise and show a woman u love her}. 
 thank God u got a message from this, i did too. somehow i wish he gets to read this and know exactly what's in my mind, but i will take care of that myself. i wldn't mind to chat wit you. have it in mind that i and your girl may sound alike on this thread. we'll have different opinions, u still need to constantly talk to her and involve her in the things u do.
i wish u all the best with your girlfriend too.

At times,  when I look at what these girls talks,  It is enough to give any one of them close to me a dirty slap.

When a guy is trying to woo you. He uses everything in his capacity to do so. Go out of his ways, Misses appointment, spend all his savings, refused to visit her mother and so on, All just to proof his love for you.

After the toasting is over, you still want this kind of life to go on, You wont give a breathing space to him. You believe that everyday is Xmas. You believe that other generous guy that is trying to get your attention is the sweetest. Then go to to him to see what you  will find, The rich guy that you are looking at,  I pity you, There is thousands of girls like you looking at the same person.
(Sorry fro my outburst)

To the thread, I think you are asking too much, It is time to begin to practise for better for worse, you liked his ways that is why you started it off in this first place, so if he changes, you make effort to show your own love not to criticise him, He's planning for the future for  you, you are thinking of birthdays, (How I wish I came in the olden days, when our mothers are contented with what was given to them and even proud of their own)

You have an harlot spirit and you must be delivered. Period

Dear Monisoola,
                        You are the only one that can advise yourself,but one thing i will tell you for sure is that you cannot change anyone.If you are not comfortable with his attitude/ways then move on with your life because he is not going to change.Q.E.D

I have a problem with the attitude of some guys who write in.How can someone write in only to be called possessed and insecure?
Kolly p or whatever u call yourself,u need to undastand that every one is different and therefore not subject to your views on them.
Like i said earlier,the guy's stingy and insensitive and from your response so are u.
As for slapping any girl around u,try it and u may get bitch slapped,hommy Cheesy Cheesy Smiley
P.S do u even have a girl, really,tell the truth.

No, telltoo can't be my boyfriend

@telltoo, seems u are not the guy she is refering to.
moniisoola i think you should tell him your mind because the more u keep it within u the more u feel hurt.pour out your mind and let him know your expectation of him.also don't make the mistake of comparing him with other gys because we are all uique in our own different ways.study his personality and that will help in making your conclusions. if u decide to dump him now u don't know what u will mee again.
above all before u waste any further time,think Huh can u really cope with his religion and will it not cause u pain in the future.
babygirl u are not expecting too much,u are just being human.

 Hi Moni,
  I guess you are speaking for so many of us.
  My own case is just a replica of yours.
  Yours is even better that your guy is channelling his earnings to his  business which might even benefit you if you eventually get down with him. Mine is parctically not running any business, but i am so disconbobulated what he thinks about me. he has never taken me out to buy anything, if we  get into any restuarant on our way out , i will end up paying the bill, because he will always have this flemsy excuse that oh,  "it's weekend , i don't like taken money home and i forgot my ATM card at home."
  I thought i could cope with this  since i had a good job, but i am just realising that i can't because i get so upset and hurt anytime i think of it. I pity the girl that will eventually settle with that selfish being
Your Boyfriend is trying a lot , he spends time to call you even.
Just discuss with him , give him a chance and if he doesn't change,  the decision is yours.
 
But i must tell you, stinginess is a mother of so many vices.
