Originalsly:Sir/Madam, I have to let the chips fall where the may on this. I'd love to still be friends because it was our foundation. I won't press it but I'm allowed to hope. Sometimes it's all one has left in some situations. No, the monetary gift is from my own earnings. The present issue that has arrived with me is rather new. If money could solve my problem, I'm more than capable of remedying it on my own. Money is not the issue. If you have only experienced money related problems, consider yourself blessed. I wish this were my problem as I could easily solve it and move on. Unfortunately, it is not the case. 1 Like |

Same thing happened to me few months ago with a lady i dated close to 4 years. That's the price you pay when you get committed to just one girl. She plays around your emotions and come up with stories and excuses. 4 Likes 1 Share |

nieema:my 2cents : I'm not sure you are truly in love with him, true love knows no bounds, it endures both in good times and resists the bad ones, maybe that you care deeply for him or infatuated with him, I can't imagine a scenario were I'll break up with my girl whom I truly love over some personal Issues, I'd rather seek her opinion and work through it together, but then again to each his/her own. 1 Like |

Breakup sex, yes |
Re: Would You Accept A Break Up Gift? by chyket(m): 5:19am On Dec 28, 2014 |
Think properly,does this breakup has anything to do with his present financial situation?when he was buoyant,was he good to you financially?.Personally I know that men are very sensitive when they are broke so he is likely to feel that you are leaving because he is broke at the moment.If you sincerly love him and there is a possibility of his bouncing back financially in the short run,why don't you work with him to get back at his feet and at that point that he has his groove back you can now leave him.He is very likely to take the breakup better at that point |

Nieema I understand how you feel. If you think you need a litl break for your mental sanity,so be it. Even husbands and wife sometimes need the time to focus on themselves and most time,the go on vacation alone. You are not selfish.r/ships esp (destructive ones)most times saps all your energy and strength.if he is such a reasonable person,he would understand . Break up gift in whatever form is bad eithers sex or money is like an insult and in the long run,he wld feel bad and you wld feel bad. |

Gosh! You are so heartless. Is this a Christmas gift or a New year gift?... What's wrong with you telling him your problems? You simply wanna break his heart. Well, just know that there are lots of girls dying to be in your shoes right now. |

chyket:About a week ago, I asked for his account number for me to make a deposit as my Christmas gift to him. He said, "No I'm fine." I understand his pride sensitivities but I am financially stable and I have the to means to help him. I truly love him and his finances are of no consequence to me. I earn a decent living and I was raised to save. I don't exactly know how to answer you because our relationship was not centered around him financially supporting me. I love him because of who he is not what he has. He has been a wonderful bf to me and vise versa. Is there something in the brain of Nairaland mentally that can only equate Love with Money? I don't need his money I have my own. What I need more than anything is my own peace of mind. I don't quite know any other way to express it. I would absolutely give him whatever I could afford to jumpstart him back on his feet. He has rejected my financial gestures even when I offered it in the name of a Christmas gift. I've tried to leave money in his car at times because I may have noticed the tank on empty and he will place the cash back in my purse. This man is able to provide for himself, he doesn't NEED my money. I don't like to seem him struggle cos I love him but he has always managed. I want him to have his peace as well. 1 Like |

u don't think it's fair becus he doesn't want 2 be friends after u break up with him, u r very selfiish . u want to give him money only as a way to keep him from moving on. u want to break up with him but u r still hoping he will b there when u r ready to get back with him again, bullshitt . save d excuses, u don't love him! if u do, u won't want to end it but u'll want to share wat u u are going thru with him bcus dats wat real couples do, not run away . u don't hv 2 spend every waking minute 2geda, u can b with him n still focus on urself, but if u want to end it completely u don't love him! save d nice front, abeg! in marriage there are no breaks, u ride it out n stick together. 2 Likes |

NOTE: that I am not trying to paint guys as been good.. But can you do me a favour. Put yourself in his shoes. Have you done so? Then I guess the next thing you'd say his 'he broke my heart and payed me off' 'guys are so wicked'... You are proving chris brown right 'these girls aint loyal'. I guess you've haven't been loyal to him cos you'd been saying you love him,when you don't. I put it to you that no matter what,if you truly love him for anything or reason,you'd never let him go. Leave the guy in peace don't even try to pay him off cos you'd regret it... May God see you through... 1 Like |
Re: Would You Accept A Break Up Gift? by nieema: 6:05am On Dec 28, 2014 |
@aflyingbird: It's easy to assume you know what is right for somebody else until you are in their position. You are not dating him and you don't quite understand what he needs in a gf. It feels like I have myself in the relationship and currently it is a must that I focus on my own well being. If you are unable to understand that one needs to first take care of themselves then your perspective is wack...not mines. When did it start being wrong to take my own interests into consideration? |
Re: Would You Accept A Break Up Gift? by ifyebere(m): 6:06am On Dec 28, 2014 |
If I were u nieema, I would take my time and count the amount of people advicing and telling u it's not worth ur breaking up with him. Let me tell u real good, if break up with him naw thinking dat later in life he'l accept u back after u might av been done achieving ur "energy boost and lucozade" ma dear Hope not, it won't happen... U can always acheive ur goals in dat same relationship while u give ur SPACE, just let him understand u need Space nd d kind of time he use to get from u as usual will av to get reduced so u can acheive wht u wanna acheive or build... My dear be wise, weather he's broke or not it's not ma biz, I just need U to respect and Blive in him, he's broke DONT YOU THINK IT'S NOW HE NEEDS U D MOST? If you knw dat guy is hard working and u know and Blive he'l come out present situtuation (hard working guy) Blive me or not U will see him date another Gul nd for sure u will see dat gul1 day pregnant with his baby. I pray by then u also married if not... u'l have urself to blame. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Re: Would You Accept A Break Up Gift? by Nobody: 6:25am On Dec 28, 2014 |
nieema:What does he need in a gf? Are u trying to shift the blame on him now? U want to break up with him because you're not happy with yourself and want to focus on your life, not about what he needs in a gf. I bet he's a good guy himself. Him not wanting to break up with you though u have issues means he wants to stick with u. Most guys would've dipped after sensing ur insecurities. Let me break it down for u: folks don't just wake up one day realizing they need to take care of themselves all of a sudden. If u feel like this, then you've always felt like this, way before u began ur relationship with him. U probably shouldn't have gotten into the relationship because u were not emotionally ready to handle it from the start. Now that I know this, u should break up with him because u don't love him like u want to maintain and u are not emotionally mature enough to handle the relationship. If he's smart enough he would move on himself. A relationship shouldn't be by force. 1 Like |
Re: Would You Accept A Break Up Gift? by kaboninc(m): 6:26am On Dec 28, 2014 |
nieema: He asks you about your problems (because he cares) not because he can solve it but listening to it makes him be a part of it and tells you that he has willingly committed himself to it. But you wouldn't tell him (going by your comments here). Yet you know he has a financial problem for which he STRONGLY needs help but rejects your offer? In fact YOUR own offer? You guys are in a relationship but still not in a relationship. You keep ur problems personal and he keeps his and you two know about it. From now till whenever, he may never accept your gift because I feel he's excluded from you. Men, especially when we're facing financial difficulties, that's one of our most vulnerable situation and we need the complete support from our partner. That guy will be hurt and see will see that gift from you as a compensation. Am not saying you shouldn't break up, but as someone rightly said, a problem shared is half solved. When you do break up, he'll be only interested in that particular personal issue you want to resolve. He'll ask you when you two talk about it. Until he knows, he'll never give up. And in the future, learn to share your problems may bits to your partner and fully anonymously. |
Re: Would You Accept A Break Up Gift? by galaxi(m): 6:30am On Dec 28, 2014 |
i understand how you feel when he rejects your financial help but honestly,a real man finds it hard to accept a gift he can't afford. my gf is comfortable and have always tried helping me stand on my feet financially but i have always turned it down,even a car gift. I can't say if it is pride but is very hard for me but i know i love her. I advice you just talk over this issues with him,and don't break up with him. nieema: |
Re: Would You Accept A Break Up Gift? by Nobody: 6:41am On Dec 28, 2014 |
If you know you need some time alone, please take it. But keep in mind that he isn't obligated to accept you l8r on when you've sorted yourself out. And please, no breakup gift. Try a letter. I've done those before. |
Re: Would You Accept A Break Up Gift? by nieema: 6:41am On Dec 28, 2014 |
ifyebere:Thank you ifyebere, He knows I respect & believe in him and has told me this much. I realize that I've been putting his needs before mines. When we had the conversation about breaking up I asked him could we just take a break from each other. He still said no. He doesn't feel that we need a break. Aren't relationships about compromises? I would understand if he needed to take a little time for himself. And it would not come with a disclaimer to terminate all ties. I will always be there for him no matter how this ends..or turns out. |

nieema: Well, I understand where you're coming from. A letter will help you better convey your thoughts, esp since you've been having this discussion for nigh on two weeks without conclusion - a lot of it tends to get lost in the fray. Make sure you're certain before you take that step though (you seem it), and don't mind any of these judge-y comments. We have no idea what you're going through. All the best. |
