I’m dating a woman who’s nineteen years older than me. Age is not the major problem. She’s also married and has four kids. Marriage and kids are not the major problem here, but the way this woman treats me.

Her car had a problem, and she couldn’t move it after work. Our offices are close to each other, so I saw her struggling with her car and helped fix it. We became friends because of her car. She wasn’t ready to fix the problem, and I became a by-force mechanic.

Fixing her car and talking to her always generated into this relationship we find ourselves in. She looks like she has money, but this woman won’t spend a dime on me. She will take me to a hotel and ask me to pay. She will come to my place and expect me to give her food. At work, she would call and ask me, “Can you buy me lunch?”

When I’m not able to, she gets angry and tells me I’m not treating her like people treat their girlfriends. The other time we went to town, and it was late, so I begged her to take me home. She said, “Will you buy me the fuel I will use to take you to your place?”

I thought she was going to be my sugar mommy. She also thought I was going to treat her like a girlfriend. If I had that much to spend on a woman, would she be the woman I would settle for? A married woman with four kids and way older than me?

So I decided to cut her off. I avoided her calls and didn’t open her messages. But because she’s shameless, she would walk into my office and drag me out to talk to me. I told her it was over. She said it wasn’t over. I asked, “Is it by force?” She answered, “It is more than force. What do you even do for me that you want to leave me? What have I done?”

I asked her to act her age and go for her age mate, but then again, she’s shameless. When I threatened to tell her husband, she said, “Come. I will take you to him and help you tell him. You both are the same. I thought I was running from the frying pan, only for me to land in the fire.”

In my mind it’s over, but she keeps disturbing me. Yesterday she called and said, “Buy me lunch. I can’t starve because you don’t want me again.”

I’ve regretted it paaa to be involved with someone like that. I’m ashamed of myself and hate to see myself in the mirror. I know one day she’ll be off my neck, or soon when national service is done, I will leave and not see her again, but in my next life, I will stay away from women with chronic car problems who are nineteen years older and have kids and a husband at home.
