I got my girlfriend an iPhone 16 Pro Max after she tirelessly tired me out with her complaints about her phone giving her problems. My girlfriend had been using an iPhone 11 Pro Max with 64GB storage for four years. Every day it was either she was deleting some things or the phone was too slow to respond to a text, or even calls.

When the phone arrived, I sat her down and explained that I would pay part of the cost and she would pay the other half over six months. She agreed, and we both jumped for joy. Now, she could take plenty of pictures and send them to me, and do whatever she did best.

Barely two months into using the phone, she called me to tell me the most absurd thing I have ever heard. She said she accepted a lift this morning while going to work, only to be robbed at knifepoint. She called with a different number to inform me “I was only able to even get to work because of a good Samaritan.”

I screamed on the phone, “Yaa, isn’t this what I have been telling you? Have you seen?”

My girlfriend is the real definition of “I am a soft babe, I don’t like stress, I love soft life.” If you meet her and she doesn’t tell you, give her a few seconds and you will see it in her lifestyle. The way she moves, the bag, the way she struts in heels.

Her soft life, comfort-first lifestyle is one of the things I have complained about for a very long time. I have just come to live with the fact that my girlfriend loves comfort and that includes accepting rides from almost anyone who offers.

She wouldn’t say no when it comes as an option, regardless of who is offering it, even when it smells fishy or unwise.

Several times, I have warned her but she doesn’t listen, so I resorted to being her driver. On most days, I drop her off when she visits places or drive her around when she has important rounds to do, then pick her up from her office and drive her home, especially when I close early. Even with all this, it is not enough for her.

What Nobody Tells You About Divorce

Her stubbornness is why she has lost this new phone. I don’t want to sound insensitive, but she needs to keep her end of the bargain. I need the money by the end of the 6th month.Otherwise, it will affect all my plans and will make “basaa”.

Just two months in, and she has managed to get the phone stolen. While I genuinely empathize with her, I need my money too in some months’ time. Is it petty to ask for it even though she no longer has the phone again?
