| Did I Answer Her Wrongly? by iLander(op): 2:41am On Oct 16, 2025*. Modified: 6:02am On Oct 16, 2025 |
I lost my job sometime this year and i have been struggling to get another job. Along the line i also lost my GF ( she left), i met this girl, first we became friends and then lovers. She has been very helpful in every way you can think of, but she is also struggling and schooling too. She asked me this question and i quote "Babe if someone comes along and say he wants to marry me, should i go ahead and accept" I told her yes because right now, i cant give her the life she deserves. she started crying and refuse to speak to me. Did i answer her wrongly? |

iLander:You answered her truthfully, so what is wrong? So, she cried. She will get over it and hopefully go out there and find herself a man who is ready to give her what she wants at this point. Or were you intending to continue mining her— physically and mentally— for free benefits or something? What plans do you have in place if she gets pregnant while remaining by your side? Do you have money to pay for her pregnancy and to raise a child with? Or is it your plan to become a deadbeat dad like millions of Nigerian boys out there today? ![]() |

Kobojunkie:This dude told you all you need to know. Anything outside that is fiction. The truth you said! Love does not pay bills! |

Learn to tell them what they want to hear so that they'll think you are a lover. |

JustSayHello:You mean lie to them? Who gave you the deluded idea that women want you to lie to them, though? And you all wonder why women have grown wise to returning the favor? 😑😑😑 Like you, they want the truth from you, no matter how much it will hurt them. ![]() |

You did the right thing bro |

For her to ask such question, she’s seeing someone else or already has it in mind that you are not enough. she just asked that question as an excuse to end things. You fell for her trap! Her question didn’t involve finances but your reply involved finances. Think about it, doesn’t she already know you are financially handicapped? Why degrading yourself like that with that response? |

Allsmilez999:what should have been the better response? |

iLander:na their way be that |

Yes, you answered wrongly. If you find a lady who is willing to struggle with you, don’t let her down, but first make sure you truly love her before allowing her to go through that struggle with you. on the other hand, It’s still people like you who later come back with long complaints about how women only like self-made men. Many of those women once tried building with someone, only to be disappointed. Even marriage itself is not expensive. I can advise two broke people to marry each other, but they should do everything possible to avoid having kids until their situation improves. The most successful couple among my friends is one that had a simple parlor wedding with just six people present, even we, their closest friends, didn’t know about it. Today, they own two houses in Ajah, three cars, and have recently relocated to Canada. iLander: |

The truth always hurts, she cried because she wanted to hear "words of affirmation" from you yo encourage her to keep hope in you alive. But you were honest, and as they say, if you love a bird, let it go, if it comes back to you, then it was meant to be for you. I suppose you guyscan't get back together again. But if it's still eating you up, call her, tell her you want to see her or something, then tell her why you said yes, but not "yes" out of giving up on her, but because you didn't want to let her down if she finds someone who can give her what she really wants - marriage - which you're not sure you can guarantee her just yet. Personally, I don't plan my life on emotions and promises, I work with numbers and realism - if e no dey, love no fit make am dey. All the best man |

iLander:Don't fall for those tears… That's all I'll tell you. She already has someone asking her out and doesn't want you to feel like she doesn't like you enough to keep up with you. Just move on… she has moved on long ago… So, don't fall for those tears. |

If all men will be like you things would have been better by now , Truth they said is bitter but must be told. Guys are really hitting on her already and she's flirting with some of them |

Really sad 😔 no love for poor man🤦♂️ 👨🦯 |

Diamond098454:Really? But somewhere else you were encouraging men to live a lie. Na wah. Na dissociative Identity disorder dey do you or what ![]() |

kiddaz:I should condemn him for being truthful to his girlfriend and to himself? Treat issues the way it's presented. |
| Re: Did I Answer Her Wrongly? by Allsmilez999: 11:18am On Oct 16, 2025 |
Tenrack:"who you marry is entirely up to you and out of my control". Did he lie? No. If he had said instead "No babe, don't marry someone else, can't you see i am hustling for us?" , would that stop her from going with a rich available man? No. A babe that truly loves you will not cry at that response but encourage and reassure you. That's what i think. |

Allsmilez999:nice POv. I just learnt something. Thanks. You're right concerning the bolded |
| Re: Did I Answer Her Wrongly? by Kayberg: 12:29pm On Oct 16, 2025 |
kiddaz:Exactly… |
| Re: Did I Answer Her Wrongly? by OnlyChris(m): 4:15pm On Oct 16, 2025 |
U answered wrongly sir. A small lie every now and then is what keeps a relationship going. |
| Re: Did I Answer Her Wrongly? by Mariangeles(f): 4:26pm On Oct 16, 2025 |
Tenrack:Stop deceiving yourself. As for the lady, she cried because op willingly gave her up so easily. She was asking for assurance, and op did not give her that. As a lady, it is unwise to remain with a man who cannot give you assurance and security. |
| Re: Did I Answer Her Wrongly? by Tenrack: 4:39pm On Oct 16, 2025 |
Mariangeles:Lmao. Coming from a female - master manipulators. This is so rich. |

Kobojunkie:Good evening ma. Have a great day |
| Re: Did I Answer Her Wrongly? by Exceed15: 10:17pm On Oct 16, 2025 |
Your answer is legit. Don't waste a girl's time if you don't have plans for her. |
| Re: Did I Answer Her Wrongly? by Goodlady(f): 6:41am On Oct 18, 2025 |
iLander:God bless you as you nor allow someone's daughter to suffer in vain. But you're a wæk man. You can't even fight for her love. That's why she cried. |
| Re: Did I Answer Her Wrongly? by Goodlady(f): 6:45am On Oct 18, 2025 |
AllBlack:What's their way? Someone's sad the boy she loved can't fight for her. SpencerForbes:Stereotyped soul. Repent Jesus commeth sooneth. |
| Re: Did I Answer Her Wrongly? by Nobody: 6:56am On Oct 18, 2025 |
Goodlady:Okay he should lie😏 I guess that’s why they said women really love lies. He’s just trying to let her know he’s not capable yet. But the only mistake was to assure her if he finds his footing, he’ll fight for her. Lobatan😎 🚶♂️ |
