ADVICE SESSION (episode 001)
So, there’s this friend of mine (lady) who makes roughly 8million naira equivalent in USD monthly, she has a boyfriend who is just barely living from hand to mouth, he could barely provide for himself talk less of fending for the needs of the lady but then, the lady doesn’t even need anything from him but his love, honesty and trust.
They’ve been dating for 4 years up till date, when they started dating, both of them had nothing but things picked up for the lady faster than it is for the guy obviously.
Now, here is the bone of contention, the lady asked him to move in with her because his rent will soon be due, instead of having to pay his rent again and will still pay her own (just to manage expenses), but the guy is insisting that he’s not going to do that until they are married and that will be when he is capable of financing a home which he doesn’t seem like he could at the moment, this lady is now agitated that for how long will she have to wait? It’s not like she is asking him to foot any bills for now since her job is doing well and they can still live on her income but this guy refused.
Now, this lady came to ask for my advice on the matter because she is in her early 30s and she doesn’t think waiting would be the best option for her even though she loves the guy and wouldn’t mind financing everything in the home once they are married till he gets a better footing financially.
What’s the best advice you would give the lady and if you are the guy, how will you go about the situation knowing fully well whats at stake for both parties.
