Nigerian man recounts how helping his mom caused him to end relationship with his girlfriend

• User @afrisagacity shared his experience on X in December 2021, where he and his girlfriend needed financial assistance simultaneously.

• A man gave his mother the full amount she requested, sending only a fraction to his girlfriend, causing her upset and ending their relationship.

A man abruptly terminates a relationship with his girlfriend, whom he nearly married, due to her reaction when he prioritized his mother’s financial needs over hers.

In a post shared on X (formerly Twitter), user @afrisagacity recounted that this incident took place in December 2021, when both his girlfriend and mother required financial support simultaneously.

He detailed that he provided his mother with the full amount she requested, while only sending a smaller portion to his girlfriend, explaining that he was unable to meet her full request because he was assisting his mother. This decision upset his girlfriend, ultimately leading to the dissolution of their relationship.

“Had a lady I almost married in 2021. In December, she needed money for a stuff. My mum needed money too. I sent my mum the full amount she needed but sent a fraction to my girl. I told her I couldn’t complete cos I sent mum money and she flared up. That ended the relationship,” he wrote.

Despite the breakup, the man noted that his mother still regards the ex-girlfriend highly, unaware of the actual circumstances surrounding their separation.

“Funny thing, she’s my mum’s favorite of all my Exs that I introduced to her. Mum still angry I didn’t marry her. I just can’t tell my mum what went down,” he remarked.

He expressed a desire to keep the details from his mother to prevent damaging her view of the ex-girlfriend.

“If I do, she’ll switch love to hate and praises to curses. Make e just lie low like that,” he concluded.

The post elicited a variety of responses on the internet, as numerous users engaged in discussions regarding the justification of his decision and the reasonableness of the girlfriend’s reaction.
