I accidentally saw my girlfriend’s bank account, and my life hasn’t been the same since. This is a woman who would call me late at night and tell me, “You’re my last hope. Please do something for me.”

I would send my last pesewa to her because I was her last hope, and that kind of made me feel like I had become a pillar in her life. I didn’t wait until she called to tell me I was her last hope. I sent her a monthly allowance. Immediately my salary arrived, she was the first to get GHC500. Aside from that, whenever she needed something, I was always there for her.

I was with her when her phone beeped. I stretched my neck to see what was on her phone and realized her bank account had been credited.

The person sent GHC1,000, but that wasn’t my concern. I checked her available balance, and this lady had GHC23,543 in her account. I thought my eyes were not functioning properly. I checked again and again, and the amount remained the same.

She doesn’t work. She doesn’t have anything she sells. I work from Monday to Friday, and I still don’t have half of what she had in her account. When she came back, I asked her, “You have all this sitting in your account, and you still take from me? A poor boy like me?”

At first, she said she had joined a susu group and was the one keeping the money. Later, she said it was her life savings for school, and then she said, “So you expect me not to have anything in life?”

When I asked about the person who sent the GHC1,000 and the relationship between them, she told me, “That’s not important. It could be anyone. Let’s concentrate on us.”

I’m done ever sending money to a woman. This girl has shown me how poor I am and how badly I’ve managed my finances, giving to the rich when I’m actually the needy one.
