A few years ago, a close friend of mine had a heartbreak, she was depressed and wasn't healing.
Her cousin who stayed with them requested that she escort him to his friend's birthday party the following week.
She agreed to follow him.
When they got to the place, it was full of excitement. The whole place was buzzing with merriment.
Her cousin started going around to exchange greetings with his friends.
Jane wasn't comfortable with that, so she went to one corner and sat.
"When you are done greeting, you can come and meet me here."
"Okay. I'll be right back," her cousin said smiling.
A few minutes later, a guy walked up to her.
"Hi dear, how are you?"
"I'm fine."
"This one you are all by yourself. Come to my table na."
"I'm waiting for my cousin," She said bluntly.
"It's okay."
He brought a chair and sat close to her and they continued talking.
Later on, her cousin came back. He saw them and recognized the young man.
"Emeka my man! Odogwu Marley! Long time."
"No, see my guy."
They were secondary school classmates. Emeka left for Malaysia immediately after secondary education.
Five years later he came back and hasn't returned since then but spends money like a billionaire.
Jane's cousin understood what was going on and convinced her that Emeka was a good man.
They later exchanged phone numbers.
They became friends and six months later, he proposed to her and she accepted.
But there's something she doesn't like about him.
He shows off a lot.
Whenever he came to see her, everyone would be aware.
He enjoys playing loud music in his car.
He comes in different cars to pick her up.
He would talk about how many plots of land he acquired in the space of how many years, how much his three-storey building generates from rent and so much more.
The worst was that he loved saying those things whenever she was with her friends.
She complained to him severally but he wouldn't change. He would rather tell her that he's every girl's dream man.
Jane was becoming uncomfortable about the whole thing.
She couldn't take that anymore, so she returned his ring and told him it was over between them.
But to her greatest surprise, he collected the ring and told her that in a short while, he would get someone better than her.
She was disappointed and left.
A few years later, Jane was at the supermarket with her child, picking some items when someone tapped her from behind.
She was surprised to see him again. They greeted.
"Odogwu Marley!"
"Babe how far?"
"I'm fine."
"I can see that, who's a child is this?"
"Mine dear, I'm happily married."
He looked forlorn.
He said he's not married yet and that he's been experiencing a series of heartbreaks ever since.
Jane chuckled.
He looked disappointed. Later on, they parted ways.
It's always good to understand the kind of person your partner is and adapt to it if you can. Quit if you can't cope with the person's character, that's one of the purposes of courtship.
As a pompous man, don't always assume that every girl loves to be with you.
Some girls can tolerate you for a relationship but not for marriage.
