WarriFirstSon:

Like a typical young lady, they don't think far. Superficial as well. Read the original story, you'll see that the young man said the girl uses the phone to read because she can't afford to buy textbooks. Let me write it for you, SHE USES SOFT COPIES. So, you saying he should buy her the phone automatically means "smartphones". Ode!
WarriFirstSon:

Get out and get a job. Stop living off a man, you leech. You won't go far if you think this way. All successful women in life are independent. Learn.

Hi Romancelanders, don't know if it's right to share this topic here, but I'll do for now.

I'm Victory, from the East and currently a resident of Edo state. I came to this state, as an intern and thereafter, still served here and in the course of all these, I thought out and established a laundry business, which is just about 8 months old. This was to keep life going and to better bond well with the lady in my life currently.

While in Edo state, having rounded my internship & kickstarting service sometime around 2017, I met this Kiki Osemudiamen (Name changed), and it was nothing serious at 1st, cos I never really thought I'd date someone here, fact is that I never thought I'd stay beyond my service year. I met her while she was in 200l. We encouraged each other, she saw potentials and had faith in me just like I have so much faith in her. She is simplistic, encourages me to save and I in turn, encouraged her and guided her through some of her studies. She passed her 2nd MB.BS. and is currently awaiting lifting of the lockdown on schools, so she can start her clinicals.

Problem is that she came from a not buoyant family financially, and although both parents are alive, she struggles to survive/feed daily. Her dad supplies about 1000litres/trip water to households, while her mum sells at the local market. I on the other hand, came from a middle class family but my Dad is late since 2012, and I've been a sponsor of my education and that of my younger ones through the lil I inherited (which mum manages for now) plus my various endeavours. She depends on me for daily meals and other basic essentials, in fact I had to place her on salary in my laundry shop during this lockdown, so she plays the role of secretary in my shop too.

The latest challenge came about, yesterday. While she slept in the shop, I was out on errand, someone sneaked into the shop and stole her android phone with all of her e-medics textbooks (she reads mostly e-copies because she can't afford hardcopies), she has been crying all through and I really don't know what to do. Since I knew her, She'd been an appendage and an extra financial burden to me, I can't begin to list what I've done for her, although I kept reminding her never to not have entitlement mentality and she does appreciate. Out of desperation to ease her pain, I promised to sponsor her in getting a new phone. I have burdens, huge ones, I'm yet to acquire a diesel engine for my laundry (I use ponytail industrial iron which has higher voltage/current than normal ones), plus other related merchandise that I need to set up and I feel like she slows down my financial pace.

Honestly, I don't do all these for her, hoping for any personal gains, in the words of my daddy in the Lord, Prophet T.B. Joshua, He said and I quote: "We make a living by what we get and we make a life by what we give" but I am almost fed up and tired, especially when I remember that both her parents are still alive.. I am scared that that for the 1st time, I may fail her in that financial obligation because I honestly need money now, with the whole pandemic issue plus, I feel like she slows me down in life financially and a huge burden to me. Right now, she's so attached to me, more so that when I initially wanted to hault our relationship, it almost nearly affected her academics negatively. Please I need matured minds to help me think this through and garnish me with advice(s) because I almost feel so choked up and a rising urge to relocate from here, so i can breathe again.

NB: Advice from married couples and those in serious relationships, will be highly appreciated.

Modified: She went to her bank (First bank) this morning, only to be informed that about 20k (Her mum's business money) has been used to purchase recharge voucher. Her mum sends/receives money from distant customers through her account. Yesterday's scenario, all over again. Please folks, lock your SIM cards just as much as you lock your phones. Learn from this painful experience please.

In as much as sex is not mentioned in your post, my advice is that you should not be weary in well doing. Open up to her;effective communication without referring to her parents who like you described are low income earners. Continue to support her not because of marriage tomorrow hoping too that it won't get into her head that you are paying for sleeping with her.

Guy you deserve more figures into your bank account.

I can't believe there are still full grown "matured" men that put their brains under their shoes and give their balls to a woman.

What does She offer him in return? nothing but her body

that's exactly what I'm scared of, make this babe non leave this guy after she is done with schooling because she will opt for a richer guy since her parents will now be dependent on her she wouldn't need a struggling guy except you are well to do by then. Female doctors are hot cake your competitors will increase.

You better get married to her before she goes for houseman ship oo. Forget those quotes if she leaves after all this sacrifices you will be bitter with any woman that comes your way for the rest of your life, better use your HQ.

Dont leave that girl oh, you better marry her now before it is too late. A girl from a poor home to be studying Medicine shows she is hardworking. I'll advice you to do introduction and traditional with her and place her on a salary as a staff of your company. She has potentials, just invest in her potentials.

In Segalinks voice, it will end in premium tears...for you bro.

I think it is either pride, or arrogance, or folly, or arrogantly proud folly that would force a broke man to be behaving like Dangote. Dude, you are broke and you haven't found anyone to tell you.

Before you met that babe she had somehow been surviving. And now you somehow believe that without you she would not survive.

She is an MBBS student, and will one day become a medical doctor inshallah... She is not going to marry you the laundry man. She is soon going to start thinking she is too good and sophisticated for you. You can bank on that.

The Bible says God provides seed for the sower and bread for food, and your confusion lies in your using the seed provided you at this phase of your life as bread for another person's mouth. Two broke people cannot help each other, they will instead eat each other to death... If you are wise you are going to close your eyes and walk away. Poor man no dey allow him head swell... Your head don too dey swell, and soon that your name dem go change am from Victory to Brooklyn landlord.

I've never stopped encouraging her. She has the potential to be a life partner (trust me, I have had experiences to know this) but the financial burden is the negative in all these.

Hmmm

My concern is, if you do all this for this woman, will she finally be your wife or you will leave her to go and look for her man or you don't mind losing her

Because to me, you have not stand well yet you are backing an able body

She doesn't look like a woman who is ready to struggle to support you

It's just that the burden is just weighing heavily on me, especially due to this year and all of its drama.

I have burdens, huge ones, I'm yet to acquire a diesel engine for my laundry (I use ponytail industrial iron which has higher voltage/current than normal ones), plus other related merchandise that I need to set up and I feel like she slows down my financial pace.

Honestly, I don't do all these for her, hoping for any personal gains, in the words of my daddy in the Lord, Prophet T.B. Joshua, He said and I quote: "We make a living by what we get and we make a life by what we give" but I am almost fed up and tired, especially when I remember that both her parents are still alive.. I am scared that that for the 1st time, I may fail her in that financial obligation because I honestly need money now, with the whole pandemic issue plus, I feel like she slows me down in life financially and a huge burden to me. Right now, she's so attached to me, more so that when I initially wanted to hault our relationship, it almost nearly affected her academics negatively. Please I need matured minds to help me think this through and garnish me with advice(s) because I almost feel so choked up and a rising urge to relocate from here, so i can breathe again.

NB: Advice from married couples and those in serious relationships, will be highly appreciated.

Modified: She went to her bank (First bank) this morning, only to be informed that about 20k (Her mum's business money) has been used to purchase recharge voucher. Her mum sends/receives money from distant customers through her account. Yesterday's scenario, all over again. Please folks, lock your SIM cards just as much as you lock your phones. Learn from this painful experience please.
Displeasing yourself to please her is a wrong way to go about life. Let her know you cannot handle ALL her financial obligations

Hi Romancelanders, don't know if it's right to share this topic here, but I'll do for now.

I'm Victory, from the East and currently a resident of Edo state. I came to this state, as an intern and thereafter, still served here and in the course of all these, I thought out and established a laundry business, which is just about 8 months old. This was to keep life going and to better bond well with the lady in my life currently.

While in Edo state, having rounded my internship & kickstarting service sometime around 2017, I met this Kiki Osemudiamen (Name changed), and it was nothing serious at 1st, cos I never really thought I'd date someone here, fact is that I never thought I'd stay beyond my service year. I met her while she was in 200l. We encouraged each other, she saw potentials and had faith in me just like I have so much faith in her. She is simplistic, encourages me to save and I in turn, encouraged her and guided her through some of her studies. She passed her 2nd MB.BS. and is currently awaiting lifting of the lockdown on schools, so she can start her clinicals.

Problem is that she came from a not buoyant family financially, and although both parents are alive, she struggles to survive/feed daily. Her dad supplies about 1000litres/trip water to households, while her mum sells at the local market. I on the other hand, came from a middle class family but my Dad is late since 2012, and I've been a sponsor of my education and that of my younger ones through the lil I inherited (which mum manages for now) plus my various endeavours. She depends on me for daily meals and other basic essentials, in fact I had to place her on salary in my laundry shop during this lockdown, so she plays the role of secretary in my shop too.

The latest challenge came about, yesterday. While she slept in the shop, I was out on errand, someone sneaked into the shop and stole her android phone with all of her e-medics textbooks (she reads mostly e-copies because she can't afford hardcopies), she has been crying all through and I really don't know what to do. Since I knew her, She'd been an appendage and an extra financial burden to me, I can't begin to list what I've done for her, although I kept reminding her never to not have entitlement mentality and she does appreciate. Out of desperation to ease her pain, I promised to sponsor her in getting a new phone.

Oga you need to be smart. First off, do you love her? If you do then find out if she loves you too. If she does then get married. You don't need plenty money to marry. Marry that beautiful ass uve got and protect your investment. Pop up the question and watch her reaction as you do. Love should be the basis of all you do. Marriage and her bearing your kids will surely protect your interests. When she commits then you too are required to commit unreservedly. You aren't one hence your fear. If you were one in spirit then you would not entertain such fears. If you had the money then you could take a gamble or perhaps just sow unreservedly into someones life.

Dude, do you see her as someone you can marry? A life partner? Does she possess the attributes you are looking for in a wife? Mother of your children? Do your goals align? If so, what you call a financial burden is not too much of a sacrifice for someone you love.
She seems to me like a lady with potentials - studious, hardworking (not beans to pass 2 MBBS exams), from a humble family who sweat it out to make ends meet. She is finding ways to progress her studies (ebooks instead of physical costly medical books). If you ask me you might have a rough diamond there.

You need to strike a balance about the finances. Sit her down and let her know you need to grow the business, and to do that you need funds. So while you support her basic needs, she needs to forego/reduce the monthly salary you give her for some time to enable you stabilise. On your part you also need to sacrifice - not that you'd be visiting joints to drink while she's washing your customer's clothes for free. I sense that she will agree as your description of her does not depict an unreasonable person.

About the phone, you can get her a low cost smart phone - since she uses it for her studies.

I feel it within me that you will not regret the support you render to her.

Finally, pray. Make you no go use wife do girlfriend.

My 2 Cents.
