Reactions as man breaks up with girlfriend
@VigourJrC noted:

@MomentumGadget stressed:
"If her brothers lack manners or na nonsense guys she suppose don brief the guy and also make him understand she doesn’t support there actions most of the time. If the guy was aware how useless they are before going he for no take am as anything."
@Tklemofficial shared:
"My cousin had a similar experience years back, the elder brother said he was working on his album and needed him to invest and he will pay back once he blows up. 15 years later, he still hasn’t blown."
@Osedion2 said:
"That’s the best thing to do and I don’t feel sorry for the girl cause for the elder bro to ask for money then you’ve been discussed at least twice in the family and they know you’re rich enough to settle before asking . Maybe she has told them about your financial capacity."
@Jazz_and_Rap wrote:
"Maybe unrelated... But a man once told me, when you’re ready to build a home, not just share a bed, stay away from women who grew up without a father’s presence. Not because they’re unworthy, but because love, to them, was often learned through absence, not example."
@Mr_DaveChigozie noted:
"First impression mattes a lot, you will definitely continue had it been you continued with the marriage plan."
@symply_zina added:
"This is valid oooooo."
@dominic_omeiza stressed:
"That's why when you date someone, look beyond the person, look at the person's immediate family members and see if you could still flow with what you see, if you could cope."
@Tapto_earn noted:
"So you ran instead of showing some backbone? Two grown men asked for help, you could’ve handled it set boundaries, teach them to get a job, or deal with them one by one. Relationships aren’t for quitters."
@NnamdiEmehel shared:
"Valid. There are head ups you should never ignore.
No matter how you put this, its so disgraceful.
I like that you put "the first time i visited " It shows you are a real nihgga who knows over time, he could give them something. First time is a big no..says alot about the family."
@verysoonfm added:
"Your reasons are very valid cause if care is not taken na that family you go serve for the rest of your life. Infact every decision they/wife ask you to take will in one way or the other benefit that family including their extended siblings especially if you get motion die."
