KNOW YOUR STAND

on



My neighbour dated a man who lived down our street.
The man is good-looking. He's nice and looks responsible as well.
He's dedicated to his job and travels out of the state from time to time, we believed those movements were job-related.
He has been in a relationship with my neighbour, Sofia for over one year but he doesn't want to take the relationship to another level.
He's mature enough and has all it takes to raise a family but nobody knows what's keeping him from getting married.
We usually teased Sofia that we were looking forward to being included in her bridal train and she would laugh it off.
So she visited me one day and we got talking.
I asked her about her man.
"He's fine."

"When are we coming to eat wedding jollof rice?"
"My dear, I don't know what's keeping him from proposing and it's not like he has another girlfriend."
"Have you asked him his plans towards that?"
"Not yet. I know he loves me, maybe he wants to surprise me."
"It's not about surprise, don't just sit and assume. No time babe."
"Okay no problem, I know what to do."
We talked about other things and she later left.
Later on, she visited her man and decided to play a little prank on him to know his reaction.
"Babe, there's something I want to tell you," she said feeling excited.
"What's that?"
"I missed my period."
The man's countenance changed.
"Meaning?"

"I'm pregnant."
"Are you a kid? You don't know what you're supposed to do?" he said with rage all over him.
Sofia in utter amazement didn't say a word.
After some minutes she asked him what he meant by that statement.
He said she ought to have prevented the pregnancy and that she should terminate it.
Sofia still surprised asked him why.
"I'm not ready to father another child."
"Another child? how?"
"I'm married with 3 kids already."
"What? And you never mentioned it."
He didn't say a word.

Sofia was deeply pained, she carried her handbag to leave and he wanted to stop her but she pushed him aside and left.
She cried her heart out and swore never to go back to him again.
Try not to assume whenever you are in a relationship with someone, if it's taking time for your partner to say what you have in mind, speak up.
There's no harm in knowing your stand in a relationship because if by chance you are building a relationship with someone who already has a family, you can never be his top priority.
