Are We Compatible? I Need Help

Aunty Eya,

Abeg help me share this story, I am so confused. I rather remain anonymous as well.

I’ve just got into a weird situation and need help.

So there’s this guy I always ran into at church and kinda admired from afar, all we exchanged

were smiles and actually never spoke.

When he was moving back to naija he asked for my pin and when he got back he added me and we kept in touch, phone calls and messages. I was fond of him as a friend and when I visited we hung out and eventually started dating.

I returned after 2 weeks and its been long distance. Now he seems to be everything I don’t want in a guy, he’s nt secure in himself, makes no effort in communication, tells a lot of people our issues, he also nags and complains like a woman, he also doesn’t know how to talk and one funny thing with all his qualifications he can neither spell properly nor speak fluent English, doesn’t know what is a joke and what isn’t.

An example is how he always says he wants a virgin and how he’s never disvirgined a girl, knowing full well I’m not one and he even sometimes talks dirty about how he wants 2 make me sweat and how good he is at sex all that.

I’ve tried to talk to him about it and it just causes arguments and the last time he asked me if I still wanted the relationship? Any time he does something that’s not nice I’ve noticed he stays away and doesn’t communicate before I will go out of my way to patch stuff even when I shouldn’t and I have stopped now and sometimes we won’t talk for days.

It’s all so different from who I am because I’m so laid back and secure in myself and make an effort into any relationship I’m in. Like its obviously long distance and I’m a student and I recently couldn’t afford the phone bills(I was the one doing most of the calling) because I’ve been quite broke and he hasn’t been very frequent with communication unless its free? (His friend’s phone, his uncle’s phone, bbm, email and recently asked me to download viber).

All this stingy behaviour makes me laugh coming from someone who was making mouth about how he sponsored his ex to come to the UK and how much he spent on her feeding,shopping bla bla.

I thank God for my parents so I do not make any financial demands on him in any way or form but he can’t even buy 500 naira credit to call me? When I complained he asked me if I know how much two bedroom flat is? Wetin concern agbero with overload? I have ceased to complain and I don’t think there is any point again.

I have prayed about it and it seems my eyes are opened to more things about him which make me feel we are not compatible. And he was saying he wants 2 marry me? I don run abeg.

I feel like I can’t continue its not worth it. What do you think?

Thanks!!
Expecting your response.

  3. Dear, I like the last statement you made "I don run abeg". Take 5! 🙂

    Thank God you have done that. You have done the right thing. The odds are just too much. The "negatives" he displays are just too off for someone anyone should be a considering as a life partner and a future head.

    This guy is not responsible. He is not yet mature. I don't care his age but he isn't. You should be with a man who will love you as Christ loved the church and laid His life for her. He should love you more than you love him. He should want you more than you want him. He should be more committed to see the LDR work if he is serious. If he truly wants you then he must act as the head, not you. You are not the head.

    Not all men act as heads. But that is what God wants for you in a husband. Not a leech. He already leaves communication to you "a broke student". The guys is not serious jare.

  4. If u know a man is an 'AKA GUM'(stingy) while dating, if u go ahead and marry him, u are DOOMED for life. That is the worst thing about a man for me. Tufia!

  5. I can't say anything based on this one sided story. I'm sure if the guy has to say something about u he'll probably say a whole lot about u that u haven't mentioned. One thing that I couldn't help noticing is that u don't write so well. Yet u're complaining about ur bf's inability to express himself despite all the qualifications he has. Girl, I think it's time for u to check yourself too!

  6. I don't know why some pple have concluded that the guy is stingy. The young lady hasn't told us if the guy is working or not so it's wrong to assume he's stingy. Bearing in mind the guy just relocated back to 9ja. It's not easy settling in and I think the lady should show more understanding and talk to her man about her feelings.

  7. Hi Tope, thanks for your feedback. First, I was in a hurry when I sent the mail so pardon me. Trust me I can express myself very well.

    Also, for now he is staying with his family for now and working at a proper high brow company on the island.

    Finally, as I said in the mail he never takes on board my worries but I always take his on board. It seems all a bit one sided.

    Run!, run!!, except he runs after you and is able to catch-up (which means he turns a new-leaf, increases his speed to correct his attitude, and chases after you…)
