Bro, Did you read my post @all? I didn't come from a poor background, even without school, I already have enough skills to persevere and excel in life. I also read a professional course, so if she marries someone else, good for her. Let me not deviate from the topic, but I have no issues with approaching a lady for a relationship neither do I lack in self esteem.

It is good you set this straight, but you should also understand that this burden you are carrying is too much for a young man. If you were a Ned Nwoko, you can do it as charity. You are just a budding young man. Hopefully she gets a capable sponsor she can look up to financially and otherwise, maybe zmpp. A few Canadian dollars wouldn’t hurt someone like that.

No do pass yourself o. cheesy

I would advise you to aid her in getting a job , it's not about issues of her been a liability but adequate planning between both of you can go a long way in resolving the financial inadequacy . you can look for part time or full time job for her ,with it she can help herself .
Re: The Lady In My Life, My Burden. by AerialMapper: 2:23pm On Jul 28, 2020
All i see is you complaining about all you do and give and whinging about yourself

Please spare a thought for her and what she is giving...unless she isnt giving anything.

If you really and truly love someone, you will not complain about doing what you are doing!

Anyway, grow her and grow yourself; tomorrow she will be a Medical Professional and i hope you'd be a big player in the laundry industry else....

Guy tell her the truth! You are not yet there to take care of her needs! Cut her loose let her look for someone more capable.

She is girl friend and all you give her is free meal and tp. I won't add the salary cos she's working hard for that pay.

If free meal and tp is too much for you, then u shouldn't be in a relationship. She has a bright future. May God send her a helper! She's from a poor home which is not her fault.

I think it's the way u started. U acted like the provider.
I'll ask did u dis-virgin deflower her?
If thats the case, I guess that's why she depends on you so much.. She has no experience.

Now, if u really like her and she's hard working.. Don't waste time, engage her.. Do the needful then start your life with her. in that case, u guy will build together.
In that case, she will understand when to ask and when not to.
Don't worry about her depending on u.. If she's nice.
Just don't stop encouraging her.
And as someone said earlier, tell her ur problems too and request money from her

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.
She slows down your financial pace but you wan dey fvck toto... You no serious at all.

Bro I understand where you are coming from..... Trust me God will reward u for watching out for her financially, my advise is you must not get her a phone with huge price.... Even if it is a low range phone of 35k below she should manage it.. U are buying it because its a necessity to her education not because u just want yo make her smile that u should explain to her and make her see ur laundry need also which you are halting a bit to support her with the phone....... During are medicals she can fend for herself... And if she is appreciative enough, one of the days in future she might be the one helping u even if not financially or u both aren't together anymore..... Are u not surprised why you are still afloat in business even if she is stressing u financially Because to everyone in life there is always a helper which God won't let drained financially because of those dependent on him or her.... God knows where u fail financially(God forbid) so many others destiny fails as well.... Thats why u are still afloat in business....

NOTE: Don't expect anything in return or expect her to marry u because you helped her while In school, that's Entitlement, and when she doesn't trust me ur will be destabilise and feel she is ungrateful.. Do for her whatsoever you can afford to let go if that time comes... And don't make her feel indebted to you... This will help you

If she acts as a secretary in your business,then,she's not a leech.In other words,she's earning her pay.That's not a financial burden as far as I'm concerned.
See,go ahead and marry this lady fast.What's the point of courting endlessly.I don't see anything wrong in this lady.She's just unfortunate to have found herself in her circumstances.But she's making efforts to better her life.At least,she's much better than many unconscionably-driven Naija girls with that hideous sense of entitlement.

Hmmmm...this is a tough one,but do you know that girl will still leave you regardless of all you have done for her?,bro you can't kill yourself,don't go bankrupt trying to help a lady for that matter,your success should be your priority,try sit her down and discuss with her,make una reason well..Do not date a liability,just keep trying to assist her till you reach your limit but don't loose yourself in the process...I wish you well.

From your write up, clearly both of you are hardworking, tenacious and quite futuristic folks. You guys are very compatible, I suppose and the only problem here is the financial burden. Which I believe wouldn't have been the case, had it been she was from an affluent background or if the op himself is very financially buoyant. Since she doesn't spends extravagantly, spends on irrelevant things or unappreciative when you assist her.

What I would say is do what is within your capacity. I mean, that amount you can dash even a total stranger just for the sake of humanity. And make her understand sincerely when you don't have.

All the best to you guys, I hope she remains good, reserved, and unassuming even when she starts earning big from her future profession and beyond.

She shouldn't be a burden to you being that her parents her alive, she should know her course is expensive, why did she not make necessary preparations for her course like side hustling, it's unfortunate that you made her to believe you can take care of her, you shouldn't attach any financial benefits to the relationship, since she's not yet your wife, and if you must spend, don't over spend on her.

bro alot of men are going through the samething even in their marriages,it is a pity women now depend solely on men (even when they are gainfully employed) since you are not married to her yet do not stick your neck out too much (should it be it does not end in marriage).when it comes to providing for her try to be very rational (use your head and not your heart ) .Try to get her what she needs but not what she wants.And lastly try to enforce and stick with these things now that you both are courting so it wont pose as a problem later on when you get married to her .

I perfectly understand your plight.

To me, the lady is responsible to a great extent because she helps out in your laundry shop. I don't even think she's having an entitlement mentality.

The only problem is that you assumed the role of Jehovah Jireh in her life, so she'll definitely lean on you for all kinds of material and financial support.

In her head, she feels you both are growing a business. Unknowingly she's actually draining you financially.

Sit her down explain all these things you just typed out. Tell her you can't get the phone now and calmly give her reasons.

If she's responsible like I perceive her to be, she'll definitely look for ways to ease your burden.

I appreciate your kind input. She actually does the laundry in my absence (I work in a hospital within that area) so that when I'm back, I steam and package the clothes, just that i foot her daily meal and daily transport and then pay her monthly. She asked me for it, instead of her staying at home and she also knows that she won't get those extra privileges elsewhere, that she gets from me.
I feel your pain, but do what you have to do.... You need to work on business but understand she's as a part of you. That fact that she's loyal and supports you . You should also do the same and not in everything.
It because you have decided to carry her problem as yours that's why you're feeling like this. but just try to get a the phone (10k na big money o but just use it to get her a phone)

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.


I don't think her phone was stolen and I don't think her mum money that was stolen and used online was a coincidence , open your third eyes ,she might be having hidden intentions.. All,these sounded planned, you seem to be a simple person with a easy heart and people take advantage of that when they get too close to your heart , even the ones u may think u love .. Start watching her more closely and stop doing the most , let her find something doing too.. I know its always hard not to be able to show care 100% for someone u love ,but sometimes we have to choose what's best for our mental state

How has she been surviving before she met you ?
It's okay to support her , but it's a no no for me to support out of your convenience .
Why would you place her on monthly salary ?
Which work u or she De do wey u go place her on monthly salary?
So you think if you leave her she would not survive ?she would my brother and she can do without you.
She only loves the comfort of being around you because it is a big relief for her.
She probably might not even love you or be with you it not for what you do to assist and support her.
I dont have much to say though .

You can quit the relationship if you want. Kindly know that no-one owes you anything so I urge you to do what is best for you.

That said, if you like be defiant and continue the damn relationship, body go tell you.
