A young Nigerian man shares the story behind ending his relationship with a girlfriend who, despite his efforts, refused to live in the house he had built.
On the microblogging platform X, social media user DemoofUK details the relationship's promising beginning that took a turn for the worse. The man had already constructed his house before meeting the lady, but due to the distance to her shop, she declined to live with him.
In an attempt to accommodate her, he rented an apartment for her, which resulted in more unrealistic demands. As the situation escalated, the girlfriend made further demands without showing effort in the relationship.

Sharing his experience, the man reveals the challenges he faced, including agreeing to foot the entire rent for a new apartment. The girlfriend, however, declined to contribute to future expenses like school fees for their potential children.
The breaking point occurred when the girlfriend insisted on him being responsible for her shop, costing around 1.5 million in the heart of Lagos. Despite the man's attempts to find a more affordable solution, the girlfriend's analogy comparing it to moving from a Gwagon to a Toyota signaled the end of the relationship.
Reflecting on the experience, the man realized that the girlfriend, despite being a spoilt rich kid, was unfaithful, academically poor, and lacked boundaries. He emphasizes the importance of a partner bringing more to the relationship than just good sex and a nice physique. While acknowledging their sexual compatibility, he underscores the need for a partner who loves, cares, supports, and contributes meaningfully to the relationship.
