- With heartbreaks here and there, songs of “men are scum”, “Sora fun obirin (Be careful of women)” being chanted everywhere, people are fast learning not to put all their eggs in one basket. Do you know what that implies?
John is in a relationship but because you can’t completely trust women as one of the elders of the land once advised him, he still has his eyes out there on other women as plan B, plan C and even up to plan Z.
Susan is in a relationship but not yet engaged. As a wise girl wey no dey dull, she’s still in the market oh. It’s a matter of fastest finger. So if you see her in Chicken Republic with ‘just a friend’, it’s no big deal.
You are in a relationship but you don’t mind accepting to go on dates with others, you’re collecting all these freebies, urgent 5k here and there, keeping others as back up plan.
I understand that the experiences of those who gave their all for a relationship and had regrets, the scum stories all over social media is making us ‘wise’ up but in all sincerity, it’s not the right standard for a relationship that should be built on trust and commitment.
If a relationship is not serving you, take your leave honourably. It’s the right thing to do. Commitment is not exclusive to marriage, it starts in the relationship. Stay Committed while at it.
