If you haven’t read the first part of this story, here’s the link. Kindly read it before starting this one.
I sent the story a month ago when I’d had a heated argument with my girlfriend about cooking. She was calm but I was loud. I was the one who was feeling the heat of her actions. I wanted her to do it by all means but she kept giving me one excuse or the other. It was in the heat of the moment that I sent the story a month ago.
I must admit, I didn’t tell the whole story. When the story wasn’t published within days later, I thought it wasn’t going to be published so I closed my mind. This morning my girlfriend sent me a screenshot of the story and asked me, “Be honest, you’re the one who sent this story, right?”
I wanted to deny it but there were too many details to say I wasn’t the one. I asked, “Why do you think I’m the one who sent the story?” She responded, “Don’t add this to all the lies you’ve told me. Just be honest for once.”
I told her the truth. “I sent it but I sent it long ago. The day we argued.”
She was online but she didn’t respond to my messages. I called her phone but she didn’t pick up. Later in the day, she sent a voice note; “The whole world is telling you to leave me because I’m a red flag. That’s ok. It ends here. I will come home this evening to take everything I have at your place. Look for a cook, since you can’t live without home-cooked food.”

Knowing Adjoa, she wouldn’t have taken such a drastic decision if it was only about the story. We’ve had a lot of challenges since the day I sent the story. All these challenges are unrelated to cooking or her inability to cook for me. Most of them are my fault. I apologized and was forgiven. Our relationship was hanging on a thread of doubt until this one snapped the thread into two.
My heart was racing. We’d been through a lot but never did she tell me it was over. The story I shared became the last straw that drowned our relationship. I apologized and asked her to hear me out on the issue. She wasn’t ready. She didn’t even pick up my calls after the voice notes. Because I didn’t want her to come for her things, I left the house in the evening. She called when she got there and I wasn’t there.
“Adjoa, please be patient and let’s talk about this,” I pleaded. She responded, “What’s there to talk about when your advisors are telling you to leave me? Wasn’t the reason you sent the story? To get advice from people?”
When we met in town, she handed over two bags to me and said, “Here are your things. Can we go so I get mine?”
I calmed her down. We sat and we talked. I explained the reasons to her. She wasn’t paying attention. I pleaded with her to let things go. She still insisted it was over. I gave her my word that the cooking issue was no longer a pressing issue. She shook her head and screamed, “If you want to tell a story, at least you should tell a whole story.”
According to her, I intentionally left the part where she paid for the food she ordered for us just to paint her black. Just to make it look like she was wasting my money. That wasn’t my intention. I didn’t add that part because I thought it wasn’t important to the story. But looking back, I should have so readers would know she didn’t leave all the responsibilities to me.
When my friends came over and she ordered the food, she paid with her own money. We agreed I was going to refund but I paid half and ignored the half. According to her, I should have added that to the story too. I’ve added it now, hoping this will change her mind about leaving me. I meant no malice with that story. I genuinely wanted a way I could resolve it before we reached the point where marriage would be the next step.
After the discussion that night, she still insisted it was over but after a long persuasion, we agreed to correct the impression I made with the first story. So here I am telling you the whole story.
As I indicated in the first story, she ticks all the boxes for me. She has all the qualities every man will need in a woman. The cooking issue is no longer a problem. The two of us had a discussion and reached an agreement before the story was published.
Adjoa has been supportive from day one. And I’m not saying this because of what’s happening. It’s the truth and she knows it. It was a blip I sought to correct but it leaked over the issues and I’m sorry about it.
I don’t know what she will say after reading this update. I don’t know if I’ve said enough to convince her to change her mind but let me ask this favour from you reading this, kindly add your voice and plead on my behalf. I don’t want to lose her. I want her to know how sorry I am for creating the wrong impression. It won’t happen again. From now onwards, I will seek internal redress to issues before going out there.
Our Love Story Began In The Achimota Forest | Married Life
Adjoa, I know you think I’m one of those men who run to their mothers when issues arise in their marriage. I’m not like that and you know it. I’ve always sought to address issues with you and that won’t change. I won’t share our problems with my friends and won’t do that with my family either. It’s going to be us and us alone. Kindly forgive this blip and let’s continue to build what we’ve started.
I hope you’ll call me after reading this and we will go back to being the couple we used to be when all is said and done. Thanks for the opportunity to love you. We’ll be fine, I promise you.

😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 Akoa Wei paa. From this day onwards u will see how she will be controlling u in that relationship
You have said it my sister. Anyway be prepared for the drastic change about to happen because once you err a woman you are in relationship with and she accepts you back be ready to dance to her tune even if you don’t like it. Next time learn to solve problems on your own besides what is wrong with you cooking in the relationship?. Everyone has a weakness and you have to be her strength there and vice versa.
You have said it all.how can your name not be on an investment? It can.I had joint investments with my late spouse
If something happens to him, his family won’t believe you helped him especially as you aren’t married. Be very wary.
You are a SIMP of a man, you’re a coward and also you deserve whatever she is going to put out to you. You’re not fit to be a man and from now on, you’re regarded as a KID. You didn’t state if you cheated or not, that’s a good thing and also it’s nice for you to include the things you deliberately skipped in the first part. See, you shouldn’t be scared of loosing a woman if she’s not ready to bend or change some of her rules. No woman on earth who’s in love with a man wont fail or not want to enter the kitchen bcos of him. Did you check her friends if they have the same mentality? What bout her mom and female siblings?
You can as well start cooking for yourself but know this, WHATEVER YOU ALLOW ANS ACCEPT will continue. Lastly. Not every problems or relationship issues should get ONLINE. As a man, I can solve this on my own without 3rd parry. Well, I’ve been lucky to have been with and dated girls that know and love to cook.
In my opinion, the fact that she pays for the food doesn’t mean anything. Even if she pays for the food she eats, it’s still doesn’t change the fact that that is an extremely wasteful lifestyle and should NOT be encouraged in a marriage.
That being said, she is NOT your wife. She doesn’t owe you anything. Cooking for you is a privilege not a right. You men what to enjoy the milk without buying the cow. If you need a cook, then hire one. It’s not your girlfriend’s responsibility to cook for your friends. I’m very proud of your girlfriend for refusing to be exploited!!
You’re very objective Joan. Great submission
Your mistake was when you agree it was you who wrote the first story. Silent beads protected you and you have given yourself out. Anyway , No one is perfect, learn to complement and tolerate your partner and be his or her strength. And again, don’t expect so much from your partner after marriage what he or she could not give before marriage
Peace will be far from henceforth cos you just gave her your power to control you like a dummy
