A Nigerian guy said that his now-wife never burdened him with financial obligations when they were dating.
He claims they dated for about 9 years and he cannot remember her ever putting a financial weight on his frail shoulders.
He told his story on Twitter, reminding couples not to make money the center of their relationship.
During the almost 9 years I dated my wife, I don’t remember her ever asking for money for anything.
We were really simply spending our money together. From university till graduation.
A recharge card, hair cut, or new clothing didn’t come in the mail. We had a few gift exchanges and that was all.
Do not see my tweets as a sign of privilege. Our parents were not affluent yet provided for us.
All of this seemed normal to us since it was among my classmates. So that’s what I’ll tweet about. It was like that till we married and took on our duties separately.
You can do it, little ones. Poverty is not an excuse as long as you have sponsors (parents or siblings), live within your means, and develop together.
Money in relationships breeds an entitlement mindset.
I care for you and you sex me. That’s a right. This diminishes trust since you don’t actually know person you’re dating. If you try, it may not work for you. But I won’t come here to fool you/tweet for the optics.
When it comes to matters of the heart, I like to build, bind, and commit.”
All through the almost 9 years I dated my wife, I cannot recall her asking me for money for anything for one day.
It was basically us just doing stuff together with our money. Right from university days until we graduated.
She didn't call me one day to ask for money for phone,
