The emotional connection between partners can be forgotten because of material things..

Nigerian man named Fendi made the tough choice to call off his wedding as a result of what he deemed as unreasonable material demands from his fiancée.

Fendi revealed that the breaking point came when his fiancée insisted on him buying a wig for her, a request he couldn’t fulfill due to financial constraints. “I explained that I didn’t have the resources for it at the moment,” Fendi shared. “She looked at me with bitterness and warned that as long as I continued ‘maltreating’ her by denying her wants, God would do the same to me.”

This encounter led Fendi to reflect on his future, envisioning a life filled with lack of support and happiness. Despite extensive wedding preparations, he made the difficult decision to let go of his fiancée, stating, “It was an extremely tough decision, but I knew that a lifetime with her would be hell if I went through with it. 2023 taught me a lot, and I’d rather stay single or be a baby daddy than settle for nonsense.”

In a similar account, another man shared his experience of a pregnancy scare with his ex-partner. She insisted on a 21,000 Naira hospital bill for pregnancy tests, leading him to question the validity of the cost. Dissatisfied, he recounted, “I remember 4 years ago or so, my ex and I had a pregnancy scare, and somehow she said the hospital bill was about 21k. I thought, ‘Isn’t a test around 1k?’ Her reply was ‘you don’t have money, but you’re pouring inside me.’ I just walked away from that relationship.”

Women asking for expensive gifts from men is causing problems in relationships. It makes men rethink their views. The pressure to buy expensive things makes men doubt if their relationships are real and if they will last.

These requests for fancy gifts can make men think that a woman only cares about money. This not only makes women seem less important as individuals but also hurts the true connection and love in a relationship.

As money expectations go up, the emotional connection between partners can be forgotten because of material things. This puts the strong bonds that should make a relationship healthy at risk. Men might struggle to believe their partner really cares about them if they think they’re only valued for their money.

To have a good relationship, it’s important to focus on emotional connections more than wanting expensive things. Strong relationships need shared values, trust, and real affection, going beyond just having a lot of money.
