I owned my own shop. I used to sell rice, cooking oil, tomato paste, and other groceries. One day one of my customers walked into my shop with her teenage daughter. I spoke to the girl and she told me she was in SHS 2. I liked her so we became friends.
I studied this girl closely for one year. My fondness for her increased as the year passed. She was a good girl, that was one thing I liked about her. When she completed school, I asked her to be my girlfriend. She didn’t drag me like most girls would. She just said yes to my proposal and we started dating.
One day she called me and said, “Babe, my mother has noticed that we are close. She asked me about the nature of our relationship. What do I tell her?” I told her, “Tell her the truth. Let her know the whole truth.” A few minutes later, I received a phone call from her mother. She said, “My daughter told me something. When I come to your shop, we will talk more about it.”
The next day, my girlfriend’s mother came to my shop. We talked about her daughter and she asked me, “So upon all the good-looking ladies coming your way, it is my daughter you want? This girl doesn’t even have womanly curves.” I responded, “I’m not the kind of man who is moved by beauty or body shape. All I want is a woman who will love me unconditionally. Your daughter is a good girl and that’s all that matters to me. Her mom was surprised at my response. It made her happy.
She said I was a well-trained gentleman. She gave me her blessing to date her daughter. She also advised me to take care of her the way I would the woman I marry. “Promise me you won’t disappoint my daughter and leave her heartbroken,” she demanded. I promised. I even promised her with my life to make her happy and not to cheat or do anything to hurt her.
We’ve been together for five years now. I have done my best to take care of her, and now she looks good. She has all the curves she didn’t have when I first saw her. She now turns heads wherever she goes so she is beginning to act like I am no match for her.
The good girl I fell in love with has cheated on me multiple times. On two occasions, I have clashed with two different guys at her place. Both times she told them I was not her boyfriend. I endured all this treatment because of how much I loved her. Besides, I looked at all the investments I made and decided she was worth holding on to.
For her to make me look like a bad person in front of her mother she lied to her that I said I would kill her if I saw her with a male friend. She just wants her mother to hate me so she could date another man.
I am so heartbroken because of the way she treats me. You would think that I don’t mean anything to her. I have made a lot of sacrifices for her. I used to sell goods in my shop to take care of her. One time she was seriously ill at the hospital. I had to walk through the rain at midnight just to be by her side.
Did Marriages Last Longer In The Past?
After everything we’ve been through, now she insults me and calls me names. I know she is doing all this because my business collapsed three years ago. She is the reason I lost everything but I don’t complain. I keep asking myself where did I go wrong? Is it a crime to be loyal? Is it a crime to love and to be committed? Is it a crime to do good to the woman you love?
Ever since I lost everything, I’ve been jobless. I go out to search for a job but I don’t get anything. Please, if you have a job and you are interested in hiring someone, help me out. help a brother. I need to get my life back on track especially as we have entered a new year.

Do you need a job to fight for a woman who insults you and has cheated on you countless times? Must you stoop that low? Where’s your dignity? Where’s your self-respect? Love does not mean stay with your partner irrespective of how they treat you.
If you stay with her you will lose both your sanity and money.
Find a job for yourself. Learn to love yourself. Then try loving someone else. Let her go. A lady you need riches to keep is not yours.
Very well said, Kobby.
Never invest in a woman who isn’t your wife when will men learn
When you refuse to invest in them before they become a wife, they call you stingy but this right here is proof that you should critically and thoroughly think several times about doing what Richmond has done
Not that I have anything to offer you, Richmond, but you need to let people know your qualifications. And please don’t leave out God, there’s no mention of the infinite help we can all tap into, especially in times like this.
