Mr man, nobody force you into the relationship, if you can’t spend on the woman you claim you love then get out of the relationship. undecided

The good news is there are hundreds of men that are willing to take good care of your girlfriend incase you don’t know. undecided
How comforting to tell men to leave relationship if they can't be spending foolishly on women.

Same you will complain when the man cheats with multiple women when he has excess money.

If you tell a man to avoid relationship because he can't spend recklessly then you have no right to demand for faithfulness from a rich man.

Omo, that’s the real problem these days.
You try to have a serious, meaningful conversation — she’s billing.
She flashes you, you call back — billing.
You call to check up on her — she says, “I’m hungry.”
Billing upon billings. 🤔

⚡ The New Emotional Economy

We live in an era where many relationships have turned into mini tax systems.
Every emotional interaction comes with a cost implication.
You can’t even share genuine concern anymore without it being mistaken for a financial transaction.

It’s not about the money — it’s about intention decay.
When every conversation has a price tag, sincerity dies.

💡 The Psychology Behind It

Here’s the catch — when financial dependency replaces emotional connection, the relationship loses its foundation.
You can’t build trust on constant billing.
It breeds quiet resentment, emotional fatigue, and fake affection.

Eventually, the giver becomes drained.
The receiver becomes entitled.
And both stop growing.

Real Talk

Let’s be clear — there’s nothing wrong with helping someone you care about.
Generosity is beautiful.
But when every “hi” becomes an invoice and every “I miss you” is code for “send something,”
then love is no longer love — it’s logistics.

If affection needs constant top-up, it’s not connection; it’s subscription. 💳

The Bigger Lesson

As a generation, we need to start redefining value exchange in relationships.
Let support be mutual.
Let conversations be genuine.
Let love be affordable — emotionally, not financially.

Because if your wallet must always validate your words,
then what happens the day your balance drops?

Let’s bring back sincerity before billing replaces bonding.
Nigerians are hungry and suffering
if the economy is good, no one will bill u. if 60% of nigerians are gainfully employed, no one will bill u.
everything u are seeing is as a result of the bad country we are in

Poverty turns a man into a thief — and a woman into a who.re.

Don’t get into a relationship with someone who’s poor.
Or if you do, test and verify her right away to see if she’s worth it.
There’s gold in the mud sometimes — but it’s rare, and that’s why it’s valuable.
At the first sign that she’s hungry, that she needs this or that — turn around and walk away.It’s not a matter of money. It’s a matter of how her mind is wired.
And no one needs wiring like that.

SpencerForbes:
I've learned that relationships aren't about extremes; it's not a do-or-die situation. I'm straightforward about this: I'm not afraid to let someone go. I give what I'm comfortable losing or what I'm willing to invest in someone else. If a lady's expectations exceed what I'm capable of or willing to offer, it's a sign to move on. There are plenty of other women out there who'll appreciate what I can give without feeling strained.

If someone's playing games with your emotions, cut ties.

If they're treating you like an ATM, walk away.

Basically, anyone who's stressing you out - let them go.

You're begging a lady, 😳 una no dey make sense ooo! Once you start begging, you've lost the plot. If she ghosts you, just ghost her back. If she's really into you, she'll come back.

Got to have that abundance mentality, bruh. Omo, una dey weak me ooo! Having a girlfriend don't mean you're stuck with her alone (side chicks, besties, plenty options out there); when she messes up, show her you've got other ladies lined up. The only time you get a lady to listen is if she's providing for you or got something else on offer besides sex - and def not begging. You can playfully get her back if you play smart.

Begging's desperation, and desperation's a lose-lose, bro. She's gonna think she's doing you a favor if she comes back, and she'll dip again. Better go find another babe; don't waste your time.

You’re begging a lady😳 una Dey f*** up ooo. Once you start begging a lady, you’ve lost it. If she ghost you, ghost her back. If she loves you, she’ll come back.

Have abundance mentality. Omo una Dey weak me.
Because you have a girlfriend doesn’t mean you’ll not have options (side chick, bestie etc) once your babe f*** up, show her you have other ladies on the queue. The only time you can reason a lady is if she’s providing for you or has another thing she’s offering beside sex and definitely not begging. You can playfully get her back if you play your cards well.

Begging her is desperation and once you’re desperate, you’ve lost her. Go search for another lady because even if she comes back, she’ll still leave again cos she’ll be thinking she’s doing you a favor.

Once you start begging, you're out. She's trying to get you to treat her like a queen, and the moment you do, she'll lose interest - I've experienced that. You ever notice how a lady will cry out for attention, and the minute you start giving it, she'll say you're always available or suddenly play the busy card? That's exactly what she wants, and trust me, once you fall into that trap, you've lost the game.

If she feels like she's disposable, that's actually good. Don't put on any pressure. If she's serious about making the relationship work, she'll find her way into your space. She'll try to sort things out herself. I've learned that women are drawn to a guy they're chasing, not the other way round. When she's the one feeling insecure and jealous, she's more likely to work on fixing things - she'll test you, sure, but if she's into you, she'll make it happen.

Lolz 😂 ain't nothing magical going on, bruh. Na the cookie dey sweet you 😂😂

You've likely put more into this relationship than she has. Once you're all in, you ain't wanna lose it. Imagine putting down over 1 million for a plot of land, then they're telling you it ain't sellable 'cause of government wahala - you'd feel crappy, might even start showing up at church trying to find some peace 'cause of that stress.

That's why when you're dealing with a relationship, make sure the lady's investing like you are. Energy for energy, aura for aura, 1 I-love-you for 3 and all that. If you play smart, she'll be the one fighting to keep things going 'cause she don't wanna lose her 'investment'.

Billing is like fantasy to women.
The greatest blame is on the one who fulfills it.
Real men are not afraid of Billing. They know that the chance of fulfilling the promises is near zero.
After all, talk is cheap. The greatest loser is the one that gives cool and complains when he could easily walk away.

The guy who wrote that piece is being rational and logical, while you sound emotional and enjoyed an exploitative lifestyle in the name of deceptive love. Sane and sound-minded people think like that guy, while weak and average people reason like you.

I've said it in my previous threads , it's men with low self esteem that are causing all these nonsense billing epidemic, all those baby send me Ur account let me appreciate Ur beauty type of men.
If you can't toast a woman without flashing Ur wallet or trying to impress her with Ur money , then u have serious low self esteem. Argue with Ur fore fathers.
We already know this. But are you sure you are not one of those men that use money to impress a lady, then come online to form alpha male?
Re: The Silent Epidemic Of “billing Relationships” by We4all: 6:04pm On Oct 30, 2025
Why are you guys blaming ladies that bill guys? Your outburst should be directed at men who know that a lady is with them for the money, but they don't seem to mind because of their damaged self esteem. There are men who will starve their kids just to go satisfy a side chic. Between the man and the side chic, who is to be blamed?

But come to think of it, if women are always billing men, then why do we have so many broke boyfriends, and dead beat husbands scattered across the country? In a relationship, a man gives a woman money or gifts not because he is generous, but because he wants something. Do you expect the lady to give that thing for free? While men have misplaced priority, and clearly don't know what they want. One thing is sure, women are the smart ones and know exactly what they want.
