A Nigerian lady has reportedly been caught in a dilemma between her boyfriend of five years and her wealthy boss, who has offered to marry her and improve her family’s living situation.
The story was shared on X by a user identified as @TeeMento, who narrated that the 27-year-old woman had been dating her boyfriend since her National Diploma (ND) days.
The boyfriend is described as a loving partner who neither cheats on her nor beats her. However, he is still financially struggling and makes a living by running a Point of Sale (POS) shop in Iyana Ipaja, Lagos, and also charging phones.
The situation reportedly got complicated after her 42-year-old divorced boss, who has two children, showed interest in marrying her and promised to offer financial support.
In the post, @TeeMento explained that the lady’s boyfriend had been planning to settle down with her in December despite his financial difficulties.
However, the relationship has reportedly come under strain because the man is yet to attain the financial stability his girlfriend wants.
The X user noted that the boyfriend has kept assuring her that things will get better, but she is tired of waiting.
The post read that the boyfriend keeps telling her, “babe next year go better,” but he has been saying the same thing for three years.
The situation reportedly took a new turn when the woman’s boss offered to marry her and promised to better her financial situation.
The 42-year-old man, who is divorced with two children, allegedly promised to open a supermarket for her, buy her a small car, and move her and her mother out of their one-room apartment in Sango Ota.
The offer reportedly appealed to the lady’s mother, who has also been pressuring her to consider the wealthy man’s proposal.
The woman’s mother has reportedly grown tired of their financial hardship and wants her to accept.
“My daughter, I don tire for suffer, follow this rich man,” the mother reportedly told daughter.
However, the 27-year-old lady reportedly loves her boyfriend and is finding it difficult to decide whether to stay in the relationship or take the opportunity offered by her boss.
The post also revealed that the lady had become emotional about her situation, especially when comparing her life to that of her friends and former classmates.
She reportedly broke down in tears while on a bus after reflecting on how some of her peers were married to financially stable men, while others had relocated to London.
The X user added that her boyfriend could not afford a room and parlour self-contained apartment, a situation that has reportedly added to her frustration about their future.
After sharing the story, @TeeMento asked social media users to advise the lady on whether she should stick with her boyfriend or consider marrying her boss.
The user wrote, “I told her to follow her heart but she is confused.
“What would you advise her to do? Wait for love or do you think her boss can guarantee her future?”
