Every woman I’ve ever dated came broke. I didn’t mind. I loved them, and I believed love was bigger than anything. I gave willingly because I wanted them to be better with me. And everyone I dated, I dated with the future in mind. I was hoping marriage would be the next thing. But guess what—along the line, something bad would happen, and they would either leave me or I would leave them.

It’s especially harder for me when it’s time to leave because of the investments I make in them. It’s the reason I allowed Erica to cheat on me twice with two bosses in the same company she was working for. I made it possible for her to have a job there, but in the end, she made a way for those two married bosses.

It crushed me to pieces. She even blamed me for finding a job for her there. “Is it not you who pushed me there? I told you I didn’t like the job,” she told me in the end.

After her, I thought there would be no other woman I could love deeply, but Grace entered gracefully with the innocence of a dove. She had everything I needed in a woman but was poorer than the proverbial church mouse. She was working at a fuel station mart. She said she wanted to go back to school, and I was ready to help. We dated for a year, and I paid for her to do her resit. She went home to visit her parents and came back with a husband.

My friend told me, “If you keep dating broke women, that will always be your portion. They often don’t have choices, so they say yes to just anything.”

I Left Him Because He Didn’t Help In The Kitchen

I thought he was lying, but this makes me believe there’s some truth in what he said. So I’m no longer going for a broke woman. But the question is, what can I do to attract women who have their own? Where can I even find them? Someone should show me, because I’ve suffered in the hands of broke women. I need rest.
