Should I Break Up Or Make Up With My Boyfriend? by Nobody: 10:33am On May 21, 2020 |
This my guy is not serious at all. I used to tell myself change is the only permanent thing in life bla bla bla. And I really believe that once you take the right steps, you can be anything you want to be. This made me to be very soft with people. When I started dating my Boyfriend, I really was not choosy or judgy. I accepted him without a second thought. I'm not the type of lady that actually do all those lady stuff, I'm a very serious person and I don't play games at all. My BF is very cool, like not bad looking, normal behaviour etc and I like him a lot. I'm a very ambitious person, with an extremely big dreams, my boyfriend is also hard working, but I'm not seeing any future at all with his career/prospects/life. When I say I'm with big dreams, it's means I'm working on discovering (new innovations), planning big business that would compete with top brands etc. I'm that big in dreams. My children is also very important to me, I don't plan for their sufferings at all. I'm an introvert, I find solace in my aspirations, dreams. I have books I work out those formulas (I mean how I would execute my business plans), I research a lot, think a lot etc Our fight now Since day 1, I do tell him to do this and that. I really hate company works, so I would tell him to have savings, and be building something sideways where he works. Also, I wanted him to do Masters, since he said he would love to travel out, he's always saying he hates Nigeria bla bla bla. His dad also wanted him to do Masters, but he's in the crew of Masters is a waste of time, and he can't do Masters in Nigeria bla bla bla Baby try this business, he would say he doesn't have money, he needs 2 million to start a business etc. Meanwhile, he doesn't have money to travel out of the country to do Masters, nor 2m to start any business. So I would tell him to manage what he has first, and that would propelled him later, but he likes to talk like illiterates that Masters is meaningless. Meanwhile, while that is true, those things are just like investment, you don't know when you will see an opportunity to use your Masters certificate, and since he studied computer science, I told him that it can even help him get a job outside Nigeria when he leaves, that it can be useful there. I understand the situation of the country, but not having masters doesn't mean you will get a job as well, so why don't you just have it. My bf would shut me off, and also his dad, the dad even asked him to take job at the federal university where he works, but my bf said he can't work in that place, this is a federal government job o, he would say the salary is too small and people there already knows him, because his dad is in a big office in the university. So it won't seem like I'm disturbing him, I went quiet, but might chip it in in discussions, but I don't fight him on those things. He works in a small company, and he rose to the position of a Manager, he spent all his time in office, the little time to waste with his friends. It's a good thing but I'm not comfortable with that, the pay is about 90k, which is not enough for his expenses, also he's the first born. Fast forward to last year, his dad died, it looks like a film trick to him, he now have to take care of his siblings and mum (mum is nurse, but retired long time ago, her pay is little because it wasn't normal retirement). Everything I was telling him finally came to pass. He rented an apartment with His friends, he later hated it, and said he wants his own, he went to rent an apartment of 600k (he gathered it from different places and he borrowed), which I really hate and we fought on that as well. Because he could have used the money to secure his life in a better way, since his complain when I told him to start a business is that he doesn't have money bla bla bla He will not apply for better jobs as well He's practically doing nothing to grow, and would say he hates Nigeria and he would like to leave, but he can't even apply for scholarships or even google schools. So this 2020, Jan 1, I started fighting him, that I'm not going to continue with him like that, that he should go apply for MSC, start a business or just do something. He now started saying that he has responsibilities which are his siblings, I told him this is the nonsense, he would do till the year ends, we will fight and later resolve it. He won't even talk about it, or get reminded, he makes me feel Hus boss is using him. I have told him several times how he would be used and dumped, in fact, he makes me say negatives sometimes, and that's because I have seen people that get dumped while working with companies and they fall back to grass, my mum won't even accept him because he works in a company, small company, not cocacola or big companies. My mum hates company works like shits because we've heard and seen people falling to zero due to company jobs. The problem 1. He says I'm disturbing his life, and not allowing him to rest 2. I'm not happy with him living that way, with no future, no investment, hes not building himself while working, hes not doing courses, not learning any skills, and I think its too risky. His current salary is not enough for him, not to talk of me collecting part of it. But he gives me money though, has not been more than 1k, 2k and data subscription which I really appreciate. 3. I can't introduce him to my family because I want him respected. Truth is I don't know what he would say to impress my parents because I'm not even impressed with him. And I want him to be superloved and respected. I believe in first impression would last very long. He has introduced me to his family and all friends 4. He never ask me about my own life, aspirations, advice me etc, I'm always the one to do that. Yesterday he had the gut to tell me I'm not caring because of just two days of not showing care 5. Corona has turned his company outside down and he's highly affected. Just like all what I was telling him finally happened, and he has nothing to fall back at. He has a car, 6. I can't marry him or anyone this way, and I'm getting old, though and I want marriage next year. He said he wants too, but I can't marry him like this. And I don't want to get to late twenties, and he breaks up and I start looking for husband, people would be thinking maybe I have a problem that is why I'm yet to marry, they won't know that its him that caused my delay. Plus I have a very high esteem, so I would hate to be desperate for marriage with a man or be the one to be wanting marriage so much in a relationship 7. Right now, we have temporarily break up, so I'm asking if I should break up or make up? Because he was saying rubbish last night Note: I'm not a fan of dating and rubbish, I love him very much and I don't want to leave him at all. I don't think there's any man I can date as I do not like dishonesty at all and 95% of men are dishonest. My BF is very honest and good I'm every other aspect 151 Likes 14 Shares |

Thanks to all commentors. Edit: i want to use this moment to Thank the ladies, this thread of mine has made me to realize the future of Africa is in the hands of ladies, men are total disgrace, while some are quite inspiring and very helpful, the percentage of men spewing rubbish is quite very high, about 90% while that of female is just 2%. Thank you God for not making me a man. But please, i want to know the mod that took this to front page? Una don turn Nairaland to a joke wallahi Thanks to all commentors, you really made my day and I laughed so hard, especially those that think I have low self esteem and I'm not near intelligence. It seems that some males on NL are already pained and frustrated about their broke assess and was already ready to any bash girl. For those that took their time to read all the stories, I wanna say thank you, it means we are bored together as if not lockdown, you no fit see me for NL they ask yeye questions and be reading comedians comments. For the unbelievers, the story is true,though with some little tweaks, because I don't know if my boyfriend siblings&friends are on NL, so I gave it some tweaks, though I can't vouche for other stories here on NL if they are true or false. For those that sent me mails, sorry, I don't reply Nairaland emails. For those that wants to date,lol, I can't date people with account on NL, thats one reason I love my BF, he doesn't fancy NL at all, he thinks its for jobless people or people with so much money that they now have time at their disposal to waste or people severely bored. Yes, I know some people are making money with the help of NL, especially in the business section, bitcoin, cryptocurrency,PayPal, forex trade threads. And the GRE,IELTS section is also very good, but I still can't date a NL active member especially those active on Romance section. Final Conclusion, I can never leave my boyfriend, I don't even know why I asked such question 13 Likes 3 Shares |

"I told him to" "I want him to" "I warned him not to" "I advised him to" "He wouldn't listen to me" and all the other stuffs. It appears to me that you are foisting your opinion, choices and wishes on your partner. You want him to live his life your way, pursue his dreams following your chart and run his race with you as guide. Perhaps you want to be the Kapellmeister while you lead the orchestra that is his life. If he were to follow your advise and it backfires or doesnt yield the expected fruit, who would take responsibility? There is something some of us do not acknowledge which is that not everyone wants to be wealthy, some people just want to be successful at what they do, some people just want to lead a simple and fulfilled life. I also find your intentions questionable. Do you have all those "nice thoughts" for him because you love and wish him well, or because you want him wealthy enough to marry you next year and give you "the life"? Its a shame that you say you're not proud of someone ou claim to love and painting him as some loser. There comes a time in the life of a man when he wants to do things his own way, steer his own ship, make his own mistakes and celebrate his own little victories. I would have asked you to talk to him, but I believe you guys have talked about this over and over. So, the choice is yours to walk or stay 1323 Likes 115 Shares |

Differ from trying to mold him to what you want and your advice. Have you tried to ask him what he really want instead of telling him what you want of him. Did you try to help him and support him financially. Adivicing someone is different from supporting him. 224 Likes 8 Shares |

You two are far from being on the same page. It is like an Eagle dating a chicken - you want to fly and he seems satisfied on the ground. My advice is that, if you don't want to come down and live on ground like chicken, since he is not ready to fly, then you have to go your separate ways. Otherwise, your dreams and ambitions will die on the ground when you marry him. Take solace that you have talked these to him many times and he refused to listen. I do have some friends like that. Pick a Federal job, my friend opted to go do M.Sc that the job will be waiting for her. Before she could finish the Masters, the opportunity was no more. She has since been regretting that decision. Sit him down and give him reasons you two cannot continue. Marriage is for a life time an these days, trust me, people are looking for those that will lift them after marriage. 270 Likes 17 Shares |

Keep asking unrealistic question, we all know you can't leave him and your guy knows this fact.. Start acting like you are already seeing someone else and watch him turn around for good.. It works all the time. Nothing hurts a niggar more than the thought of his bae shacking up to another guy... 24 Likes 6 Shares |

hmmn....too much pressure. I hope you also doing your masters aswell. Maybe you should channel all this you are telling him to yourself. Is not cool Wen a lady is pushing her guy to work harder , complaining about him not earning enough while she is doing nothing herself.. if the 90k is too small what are u adding financially or u just want to be a leech. No man likes a nagging woman. Stop pointing him where the money at....why not go get the money yourself. 329 Likes 18 Shares |

Are you making money yourself? Not everybody is interested in killing themselves for Masters/going abroad/making more money. As long as he is working and keeping up with his responsibilities, reduce the pressure. Marry him for who he is not who you are molding him to be. IF you don't like him as a person, not as a number or a degree, leave him. IF you do, think about what you're doing. Love, real sustainable love is hard to come by. 101 Likes 7 Shares |

Acmepreneur: I don't know women like u still exists, I use this thread as a point of contact to ask God for a partner like you, not the one who will be asking money for wig and fingernails (which ladies are supposed to buy themselves) without caring for financial growth of both of you. God bless you sister. As for the guy I think you should make up with him and sit him down and really point things out for him to see, just continue to try, encourage him to read books like think and grow rich by Napoleon Hills, Laws of success , Rich dad poor dad Etc.(I just hope he is the type that likes reading, especially this one he don't want masters degree) I believe he will change. But if he isn't changing then you have no option to manage him like that or find someone in the same sync, someone in the same cosmic frequency with you so that resonance will occur.

Thank goodness you’ve broken up with him. Your wahala is too much. He will sort himself out. You say you’re ambitious but all your ambition is on behalf of another person. There’s encouragement and there’s nagging. Learn the difference. Leave him alone. 254 Likes 12 Shares |

Acmepreneur:All these ambitionless guys looking for quality girls to marry without matching their strength. My dear, cut your losses, its better to cry over a relationship than have your dreams thwarted by an unequally yoked marriage. Invest your energies in your achievements, and next time be super discriminatory when choosing a life partner. Choose a level headed, hardworking person, someone who mirrors your ambitions in actions and choices not in words. Guys are very glib with words. 28 Likes 6 Shares |

I swear, this OP is the true definition of a *witch*. Allow the guy to be nd go and find a man that checks all your boxes, if he is splitting ur tits this much. If you think he is this useless or unserious, why are you still with him? when you do, you will then know that its not all about money nd perfection, that makes a good man. Its this type of your thinking that may keep you single all your life. Its not a curse o. You can't always see all before you take a descision, you just have to see that the most important things are there... you need to just lighten up, ur too uptight. 95 Likes 6 Shares |

Allow your partner to see how successful you are business wise before shoving your opinions down his throat. You breaking up with him at this crucial point would be doing him a favour. Some people find fulfilment working for others. You should be glad he has a job that pays about $250 monthly. Love him for all his imperfections and stop trying to control him if you really love him. We have alakijas and other successful business women, you too can become one rather than pushing your partner to be successful at all costs for your own personal gains! 129 Likes 9 Shares |
