I have a fiancée whom I started dating about two years ago. We work together and we are on the same level, and earn the same salary. Each time we hanged out to just have fun, if we got to a place where prices were too expensive, I would say to her but this things are much cheaper elsewhere.

For example, we went to a place though inside the same premises, one part of the lounge sells bottled water for 250 while the other one sells bottled water for 500, she then suggested that we go to the part where water was sold for 500. Note that it was in the same premises and there was absolutely no difference between the two, it's not like one was VIP area and the other was not. We ended up going to the 500 naira side. All that we ate which of course was double the price, I paid.

Each time we went to the mall, we buy things normally. But there's something about malls which some of you may have noticed, certain things such as pots, plastic rubbers, electronics, and so on are usually unreasonably exorbitant. So I said it would be better for us not to buy things that were too expensive that we could get outside for cheaper prices, but we could buy other things whose prices were reasonable. The next thing she started saying was that I don't have class, it's classy people that buy such things.

So one day we went to a pharmacy in that same mall, because she wanted to get some drugs, the price they called for her was about three times what it was outside, so she said it was better to go outside to buy it. So I just told her that since she has class she should buy it now, the next thing she started insulting me, she gave me the insult of my life. That wasn't the only scenario, there were many other cases like that.

She had started to stay with me after a while. Every thing in the house belongs to me, and I made sure everywhere was conducive for us. Air conditioners every and so on, good house, good compound, surveillance cameras and so on. Initially I was shouldering all responsibilities like food, the car washer who washes the both of our cars, the security man, fuel in the generator, NEPA light, repairs in the house and so on.

Please note that we work in the same place and earn same amount. Sometimes when I was short of cash, since I knew that her own money would still be there, I would borrow from her to buy food stuffs and other miscellaneous, and pay back by next salary.

She contributed just about 10% of expenditures in the house which was majorly just food stuffs. Note that I buy much more foodstuffs 5 times more than what she buys.

That was not just it, the relationship was usually filled with arguments, I can hardly have a conversation with her, she would begin to argue.

I want to ask few questions here:
(1)please is there anyone who doesn't know that Egusi causes pimples for those who are prone to having pimples?
(2) Is there any one who doesn't know that if something is very hot, it is not advisable to put in the fridge?
(3) here anyone who doesn't know that garlic is medicinal?
(4) Is there any one who does not know that it is not advisable to put on a generator when it has been drenched by rain?

But this girl will argue with me, insisting that I must put on the gen when rain has beaten it, because apparently, it is not her property. And the fridge is also not hers which is why she won't care if it gets spoilt. In short there's usually too much argument over what is clear for everyone to see, thereby it is always difficult to have a conversation with her.

I was later transferred out of the state we were, so I decided that because of her, I won't take anything away from the house, I would buy everything I need in the new place I had been posted to. So I bought a bigger TV for the house we both shared and took the smaller one to my new place of posting. I bought my mattress, kitchen utensils, got an apartment, and bought every thing I needed in the new place. So now, I have most things in two pairs, just so she would be comfortable.

Please note that we aren't yet married, and I agreed to not having sex with her because that was she wanted, I respected that. The only thing I know we do was romance.

So I started insisting that it was high time for her to be responsible, that we can't both be working and she won't be buying reasonable amount of food stuff because I noticed that sometimes, she would go out and buy 3 packs of spaghetti, which doesn't make sense to me. She said her dad is the one that buys food stuffs in her house and her mum contributes for petty projects. But I am not her Dad, I have my own mind. Also note that she didn't volunteer to bring any amount for my project oo, because I won't want a woman to contribute 1 naira to the houses I am building. All I said was that she should be contributing reasonable amounts for food stuffs in the house. We hardly stay two weeks without fights, she must look for one insult or the other.

We went for counselling and the pastors said she has to be contributing for expenditures in the house, we agreed on 60% to 40% sharing formula for all expenditures. So me as the man would contribute 60 while she will contribute 40. Please note that rent was not inclusive, as I volunteered to pay for the rent in the house we were and for my apartment in my new place of posting.
Later on, when she began to see the brunt of the responsibilities that I used to bear she started saying we (Me and the Pastors) are forcing her to contribute. But I didn't know these Pastors before, that was my first time of meeting them, she was the one who knew them before me. But simply because they told her the truth, she started saying we are forcing her.

Please I need your honest opinions on this issue.
Thank you.

I don't know why i'm always bumping into you here but thats not the problem, the real problem here is that i always bump into you saying your usual shit!
You are not even attentive at all sis, a man is up there crying out on why he had to end a relationship he cherished so much because of the useless brain wirery of the woman he fell in love with and you here focusing on the fact that some women won't tolerate physical violence? Is this your feminism? even your fellow women are picking up good reasons for the lady in question to be at fault and you are here obviously portraying your usual MISANDRIST FEMINISM? did you even have to say something? who told you "she go collect" necessarilly meant a threat of physical violence?
You are deranged! How could you just go out of point because you want light out your feminism? JEEZ!

Zzor:
Your sadness is my joy, may you keep bumping into my posts

Jmw2kblogposts:
You are a destined loose b1tch so i don't blame you much

Any luck with the 50 years+ men you want? Are they already trooping in? pls fill me in, i can't wait to know that you will be somewhere very soon suffering and living in pure agony

jelel6:
When I read the OP's initial submission, I'll admit my initial thoughts were: ah, that his partner in question doesn't seem so cool. But I figured stories are half told. Then I read your reply and I concluded that, you (the babe) is not so bad after all. Honestly, I think both of you are good people. Maybe not good together, but good people as individuals.

Then, in your rebuttal, after reading the quoted sections above, and even after you highlighted your class of degree and your prestigious Alma mater, I can see that you give yourself too much credit. To the extent that whatever sacrifices that guy has made for the both of you, you see it as your entitlements and not a show of care on his part.

I mean, really, are you accusing that guy of lack of care or love for you? Someone that you said chased you for more than a year? Respected (rightfully) your decision to keep your virginity for years now? He chased you like he's obsessed but he's not behaving like someone who's after your body, does he?

He may not buy you random gifts every now and then, but I didn't read where you bought him Polo or treat him on his birthday and he refused to reciprocate.

And you went about how you're not a typical African Woman and bla bla. Let me ask, apart from your financial status, how's your outlook different from the typical African Woman you're so eager to define?

There's always something better outside if you look enough. Be we don't always deserve better.

He didn’t even wait for me to finish saying the prices of bulk 10 semo bags won’t change much from buying one or two, he started shouting “if you don’t want to contribute don’t contribute”, the next thing he stormed out, wore cloth etc drove off. I was saying be calming down. Life is not like that. Calm down. For where. Anger and the inability to calm down problem he has had stepped in. I can’t even talk. I was so hurt. I dumped d gift on the bed, prepared and went out.
I m not saying I am perfect I m sure I hv my own but u need calmness and ability to sit n sort issues or different opinions amicably for a relationship to work. The issue is I dare not have an opinion even when I need to contribute too.

Iamafinegirl:
I got him a gift for vals @you asking if I get him stuff (na everything person go come d mention) and I gift him stuff too even wen I had trips out. I got him same as my brother in law and all that because they are family to me already in my head so d can be doing anko etc. After getting vals gift, I didn’t know it was fight waiting Saturday before the vals where I had gotten his gift and set aside money to do coconut fried rice and chicken as it was a special day and I wanted to make it special for us. I got no gift ooooo. For where...that one occurred wen them dey toast me. But fight planned out over a simple issue...
Fight reason: He said let’s buy food in bulk, I said do u mean bulk different from the normal sharing we are currently doing, he said like 10 mudu beans, I then met him and said do u also mean like 10 semo bags because some of the price of this things don’t really change with bulk if it’s not like tomato or pepper basket etc. I was saying this because this was a period I didn’t even have money other than what we had planned normally or my normal contributions too because I am also building as we had started seperate my before the union but it seemed that month he wasn’t working on his building so he didn’t care what I was doing and just from the blues came up with bulk at that moment when I didn’t have but maybe he had much then. He didn’t even wait for me to finish saying the prices of bulk 10 semo bags won’t change much from buying one or two, he started shouting “if you don’t want to contribute don’t contribute”, the next thing he stormed out, wore cloth etc drove off. I was saying be calming down. Life is not like that. Calm down. For where. Anger and the inability to calm down problem he has had stepped in. I can’t even talk. I was so hurt. I dumped d gift on the bed, prepared and went out.
I m not saying I am perfect I m sure I hv my own but u need calmness and ability to sit n sort issues or different opinions amicably for a relationship to work. The issue is I dare not have an opinion even when I need to contribute too.

N.B: I still even bought the beans later later for peace and he came back later to say I won’t be eating beans. The beans been dey there for store the look everybody. I was even telling him of an investment here I felt could be good and he could look into as I went out that afternoon to also look at it....I try to improve myself I try to improve my spouse... that’s what I am taught to do. I think he kind of dozed off as I was talking and as he woke up and what I was saying was not even entering his ear... all he went back to saying is “I won’t be eating beans” . Same beans wey b d devil Dt cause fight that led to counselling section? in my mind I said oh boy u must be eating beans. . All I was saying about u investing and possibilities of improving your income wasn't entering anywhere.
I would be d same person telling him don’t play ludo with your gate man all day like afternoon to night find one or two other things that is of value that interest you or you like etc. And do more for you and yourself in that area and increase your fulfilment too as in get more out of life.
And I still don’t love you?
It seems we just communicated love in different ways.

Folks like you are the reason people like her “you no dey understand English?”

The simple illustration about the blender is that she wanted to buy one that lasts longer (that’s actually the “quality” she seemed to be referring to) rather than a cheaper that would breakdown quickly (and she even gave an example of precisely that happening), which makes all kinds of good common sense - at least to rational people (which by definition would exclude a lot of “penny-wise-pound-foolish” Nigerians). Similarly, with the car, she was saying if they used the import guy connection, he could get a better car for cheaper than he paid for his current car. Not sure why anyone would think that’s not a good thing for a girlfriend to suggest - and yet if we all had a penny for every time a dude suggested where his girlfriend or wife should buy a guy, or a generator or some other equipment, we would all probably be billionaires.

Meanwhile, funny that you think her litany is “inconsequential” (and I am pretty sure that she was writing in a ‘stream of consciousness’ since it was a hurried response, unlike the dude who obviously sat down to compose his whine), but yet it was the dude who was complaining about where they bought water or drinks, which restaurants or lounges they would go to, and whether she preferred to shop at malls than the market.

Conversely, I agree with you that if someone is offended by one’s words and verbalizes it, the least the speaker should do is try hard to refrain from repeating same. However, curiously your counsel only goes ONE WAY. Instead you casually wave off her litany of complaints variously “inconsequential” and “petty”. In fact, you nary utter a single word about her complaints of being insulted and denigrated. But then again, I do not really blame most Nigerian men for this sort of mental blindness. They have been raised and immersed in a largely partrimonial, sexist and even misogynistic culture that it has become inherently ingrained and normalized in their skewered worldview. Accordingly, stripped of all intellectual pretensions, your advice basically boils down to: make yourself smaller, suppress your views and voice, and supplicate to the man.

Frankly, the sole useful counsel she should take from both your comments is that they both should move on.

So I said it would be better for us not to buy things that were too expensive that we could get outside for cheaper prices, but we could buy other things whose prices were reasonable. The next thing she started saying was that I don't have class, it's classy people that buy such things.

So one day we went to a pharmacy in that same mall, because she wanted to get some drugs, the price they called for her was about three times what it was outside, so she said it was better to go outside to buy it. So I just told her that since she has class she should buy it now, the next thing she started insulting me, she gave me the insult of my life. That wasn't the only scenario, there were many other cases like that.

She had started to stay with me after a while. Every thing in the house belongs to me, and I made sure everywhere was conducive for us. Air conditioners every and so on, good house, good compound, surveillance cameras and so on. Initially I was shouldering all responsibilities like food, the car washer who washes the both of our cars, the security man, fuel in the generator, NEPA light, repairs in the house and so on.

Please note that we work in the same place and earn same amount. Sometimes when I was short of cash, since I knew that her own money would still be there, I would borrow from her to buy food stuffs and other miscellaneous, and pay back by next salary.

She contributed just about 10% of expenditures in the house which was majorly just food stuffs. Note that I buy much more foodstuffs 5 times more than what she buys.

That was not just it, the relationship was usually filled with arguments, I can hardly have a conversation with her, she would begin to argue.

I want to ask few questions here:
(1)please is there anyone who doesn't know that Egusi causes pimples for those who are prone to having pimples?
(2) Is there any one who doesn't know that if something is very hot, it is not advisable to put in the fridge?
(3) here anyone who doesn't know that garlic is medicinal?
(4) Is there any one who does not know that it is not advisable to put on a generator when it has been drenched by rain?

But this girl will argue with me, insisting that I must put on the gen when rain has beaten it, because apparently, it is not her property. And the fridge is also not hers which is why she won't care if it gets spoilt. In short there's usually too much argument over what is clear for everyone to see, thereby it is always difficult to have a conversation with her.

I was later transferred out of the state we were, so I decided that because of her, I won't take anything away from the house, I would buy everything I need in the new place I had been posted to. So I bought a bigger TV for the house we both shared and took the smaller one to my new place of posting. I bought my mattress, kitchen utensils, got an apartment, and bought every thing I needed in the new place. So now, I have most things in two pairs, just so she would be comfortable.

Please note that we aren't yet married, and I agreed to not having sex with her because that was she wanted, I respected that. The only thing I know we do was romance.

So I started insisting that it was high time for her to be responsible, that we can't both be working and she won't be buying reasonable amount of food stuff because I noticed that sometimes, she would go out and buy 3 packs of spaghetti, which doesn't make sense to me. She said her dad is the one that buys food stuffs in her house and her mum contributes for petty projects. But I am not her Dad, I have my own mind. Also note that she didn't volunteer to bring any amount for my project oo, because I won't want a woman to contribute 1 naira to the houses I am building. All I said was that she should be contributing reasonable amounts for food stuffs in the house. We hardly stay two weeks without fights, she must look for one insult or the other.

We went for counselling and the pastors said she has to be contributing for expenditures in the house, we agreed on 60% to 40% sharing formula for all expenditures. So me as the man would contribute 60 while she will contribute 40. Please note that rent was not inclusive, as I volunteered to pay for the rent in the house we were and for my apartment in my new place of posting.
Later on, when she began to see the brunt of the responsibilities that I used to bear she started saying we (Me and the Pastors) are forcing her to contribute. But I didn't know these Pastors before, that was my first time of meeting them, she was the one who knew them before me. But simply because they told her the truth, she started saying we are forcing her.

Please I need your honest opinions on this issue.
Thank you.
