Harsh Economy : How I Take Care Of My Girlfriend by bigpicture001(op): 2:34pm On Aug 22, 2025
... first and foremost, I cut my clothe according to my size... I dnt go after ladies with very high maintainance or unending list of demands...I specifically go after moderate ladies, also, I made my gf understand I am not a rich guy, but we can work thing out standing by ourselves...

But nomata how u do it, ladies will always be demanding of u to spend and spend..since that is the only way to show love by a guy in this part of the world .
.
I am a mid range earner...sh also works but in low income...as usual once a while there are stylish demand for u to assist financially so inorder not to embarrass her or annoy me or come at a time I am broke...I created a plan...

I noted issues which usually need my financial assistance more often...

Data, sickness, credit, and sometimes direct financial support...

For the data..I migrated her to glo, ND did an Always ON plan for her..one of 5k for one month which gives her 1G everyday...l continually subscribe it for her . If sh use all watch sabinus lafter zone, na she sabi. nomata what, sh must wait for tomorrow to get another.. data problem solved..I warned her not to b calling with that data..and buy credit instead...

On credit.. sh buys it herself... And I dnt tolerate it when sh need to call me and didn't cuz sh don't HV credit...


On health.. I used 12k to register her for health insurance for a year at the nearest hospital closest to her.. that way.. whenever sh tells me I am not feeling fine.. I simply reply, go to the hospital na.. it's free... Sh no dey bring that talk come again, but honestly, it helps her alot...

On financial support.. I gift her 25k monthly... But sh doesn't know... Sh believes my giving are endless..... Before the end of first week of the month, I send her money... Sometimes, 5k. Next month might be 15k, another might b 8k,10, as the spirit moves me... And in the third week I send the rest Wich must total 25k..

And if I send her sometimes 8k ND maybe forgot the rest when the month is almost spent, I buy her gift with the rest or take her out entirely... All within the 25k...

That way I satify all my supposed gifting requirements in a relationship...

Guyz how do u see this my method...

Dnt mind those that will rush to thread to shout simp, simp, na them do pass self...


I believe in plans, I believe if u dnt plan, u waste money

He talks peace of mind. Let something not happen to your source of income and not see chaos in 3 market days or when she outgrows this your current package.

Am now your boy abi...?

Who said relationship is a competition?

It's the mindset I'm worried about...any lady or man generally who can't be faithful with a little, can never be faithful with much.

Asset ladies are better if they are fulll of sh...t as you say. But the worse kind of ladies are those with nothing to contribute but still entitled and arrogant as the one in your little story portrays.

How can you be working and expecting me me to do little things like buying data for you? What entitlement is bigger than that?

Any person with that kind of mindset can never be "unliabilitable"!

At least we're on same page that you run a charity organisation pending when her release clause is triggered. Enjoy the moment without any expectation for outcomes.

I believe in plans, I believe if u dnt plan, u waste money
. First of all, I love your plans; it shows that you are pragmatic and always plan things ahead of time. Dont mind anybody tellling you that you dont need to spend on a lady; they are all liars. No matter how, you most scarifice in a relationship either in cash or in kind. Relationship without scarifice is parasitic. However, i belief modification can be made in regards to your plan. Why not remove the issue of giving her money for upkeep only give r money for pressing and important issues. The rest can be left the way you arrange them. The reason why i am suggesting not giving r any monthly payment is because she is not DSTV or NEPA bil that needs to be paid for every month. Only give r money when you knw she needs it so dire. You can decide to include monthly payment once u are married ... Thanks

This young lady is trying. It’s not her fault that the economy is the way it is. She’s not the only person on low income. At least she’s putting in the time and effort rather than just depending on a man or lowering herself by selling box on the market. She’s in a relationship with a responsible man and she’s living within her means.

Are you sure another person is not ’mistakenly’ hitting it?😮‍💨make all these no go turn story that touches the heart further down the road😭.

Nothing can truly satisfy a woman! If you like give her monthly allowance of ’millions’, person wey go dey knack am plenty🤕. Since, you are the one wearing the shoe, you should know where it hurts. The way you are so pragmatic and meticulous, na the same way make you dey ’expect the unexpected 😁’!

The bolded is the summary. My only advice is that you should encourage her to cook her own food rather than eating out and spending 2k naira daily.

It is not sustainable sir. In addition, once in a while , try and use the 25k to buy bulk food (no matter how many you can get for her).

May I know how much you are giving to your mother and or your blood sisters?

You mother may be in the village wearing torn wrappers and you are here satisfying a girl that will definitely leave you if she find another option better and richer than you.

Spending on a lady just because you are bleeping her doesn't make you responsible. All what you explained doesn't make you responsible. Pay her bride price and let us rest.
