On the story of the woman who jokingly asked a driver to marry her, but he refused, Legit.ng reached out to a marriage counselor and relationship therapist to better understand what might have influenced the driver's decision to turn her down respectfully.
When asked if it is common for people to reject romantic interest because they believe they cannot meet the other person’s lifestyle expectations, the therapist, identified as Mr. Ogwuche Godson, spoke in depth.
He explained what might have influenced the driver's statement or decision:
He said:
"It’s actually very common. As a counselor, I see this a lot."
"In situations like the one in this story, the rejection is not always about lack of love or attraction. Many times, it is about self-awareness and fear of pressure. When someone believes the other person lives a lifestyle they can’t sustain, maybe financially, socially, or emotionally, they may choose to step back instead of pretending."
"In this case, the young man clearly knows his current reality. He’s a student and a driver. He understands what he can and cannot offer at this stage of his life. Rather than enter a relationship where he may later feel inadequate, insecure, or constantly pressured, he chose honesty."
"People do this because they don’t want a relationship filled with comparison, shame, or expectations they can’t meet. It’s actually a sign of emotional maturity, not weakness. It shows he knows his capacity and doesn’t want to deceive anyone."
"So yes, it’s common, and in many cases, it’s healthier than entering a relationship just to prove something."
Legit.ng pushed further with its questions, asking how best to communicate or what to do if a woman finds herself in this situation without the intention of making a man feel insecure.
Mr. Godson shared:
"This is a very important question, and it connects directly to the story."
"For women dealing with a man who feels this way, communication must be gentle and reassuring, not defensive or dismissive. The first thing is to acknowledge his feelings. A man who pulls back because of lifestyle or financial gaps is already battling insecurity inside. If you brush it off or say things like, ‘it doesn’t matter,’ without explaining, he may feel misunderstood."
"She should clearly express her intentions, not her expectations. Instead of talking about what she wants him to give or match, she should speak about who he is, what she values about him, and why she’s choosing him, not his status. Words like, ‘I’m not with you for pressure or competition; I’m with you for connection and growth,’ can make a big difference."
"It also helps to avoid comparison, especially with friends, social media, or past partners. Even small jokes about money or lifestyle can deepen insecurity. Reassurance must be consistent, not one-time."
"At the same time, she should allow him to speak freely. Sometimes, men just need space to explain their fears without being corrected. When a woman communicates with respect, patience, and emotional safety, it reduces pressure and creates room for honest connection, which is what many men in this position truly need."
He gave advice to men who feel they’re not up to a woman’s standard and therefore avoid wooing or making advances:
"I’ll be very honest here, because this is something I see a lot."
"To men who constantly feel ‘not enough,’ the first thing I’ll tell you is this: don’t build your worth only on money or status. Yes, finances matter, but they are not the only things that make a man valuable. Character, responsibility, vision, discipline, and emotional stability matter too."
"That said, be realistic with yourself. If you know you are not yet where you want to be financially or in life, don’t lie to yourself or to anyone else. Work on your growth. Set goals. Improve your skills. A man who is intentionally growing is far more attractive than one who is pretending."
"Also, don’t punish yourself with comparison. Social media has made many men feel behind when they’re actually just in a different season. You are not late; you are just still building."
"At the same time, choose wisely. Not every woman is for every season of your life. If a woman’s expectations completely overpower your current capacity and create constant anxiety, it’s okay to step back, just like we saw in this story. That’s not weakness; that’s wisdom."
"Finally, if the feeling of ‘not enough’ has become constant, heavy, and emotional, talk to someone, a mentor, counselor, or trusted friend. Healing your confidence is just as important as increasing your income."
