‎I dated a man in Ibadan for over a year, and throughout our relationship, there was one woman abroad who always made me uncomfortable. He insisted they were just friends and that she was helping him with business connections, so I chose to trust him. He eventually proposed, and our families even had an introduction ceremony.

‎

‎But six months later, there was still no serious plan for the wedding. Whenever I asked questions, he accused me of rushing him and told me I could leave if I wasn't willing to wait. Then one day, he surprised me by offering me ₦3 million to end the relationship. When I asked why, he simply said he didn't want me to become a widow.

‎

‎Soon after, he started avoiding me, blocked me everywhere and eventually disappeared from my life. I had no choice but to move on. Then, weeks later, I came across his new Instagram account and there he was at the beach with the same woman he had always called “just a friend.” Suddenly, all the unanswered questions started making sense.

‎

‎If you were in her shoes, would you take the ₦3 million and walk away, or would you demand to know the real reason he ended the relationship?
