I’m in school and not working. I met this man who had it all, and just two days later he proposed to me. I told him I had nothing to offer in a relationship and would prefer to stay single until I was done with school. He said, “No, I’m not expecting you to offer anything. Just be my peace, that’s all.”

So a relationship started between us, and he always wanted me to spend the night with him. One evening he took me to his place and forced me to spend the night there. He locked the doors and kept the keys where I couldn’t find them. He gave me clothes to change into, and I did. He tried finding his way through me, but I didn’t allow him.

Our relationship was only two weeks old.

I woke up the next morning, cooked breakfast, and served him. He lives in a very nice apartment that needed cleaning because he lives there alone. I cleaned up his place and cooked lunch too. By the time I was leaving his house, I had cooked meals and stored them in his fridge. His place was sparkling and looking brand new.

He thanked me and even called me marriage material. He kept insisting that I come to his place every night and even said I could move from campus and come live with him.

The next time I went to his house, he wasn’t there. He sent the keys to me, and I went to clean and again stocked his fridge with food.

I’m in love with him and want to commit fully to the relationship, but for the last few weeks that we’ve dated, he hasn’t given me anything. I pay for my own Uber when I go to his place, and the food I’ve cooked for him—some of my money has gone into it. He has a washing machine and doesn’t even know how to use it, so I’ve washed for him each time I was there.


He doesn’t act like a giver, and I’m not the kind of girl who will ask her man to give her money. So this is what I intend to do: I want him to place me on a monthly allowance. I’m not going to mention any amount, but it should be a fair amount so I don’t feel like I’m giving my service and myself for nothing. It would hurt to know I will do all that and he wouldn’t give me anything in return.

It’s a conversation I want to have with him before I commit fully to this relationship. Do you think it’s a good idea?
