His excuse? “Every day is Valentine. We don’t need a special day to celebrate each other.” As an understanding babe in love, me too, I agreed. It didn’t stop me from buying him Valentine’s Day gifts, though — which he’d happily accept. Shebi, it would’ve been better if he was even buying me stuff on random occasions to make up for this. But no. If I stylishly mentioned wanting something, he’d talk about the importance of budgeting. Even birthday gifts didn’t pass watches and perfumes. We eventually broke up because, according to him, I didn’t know how to manage resources. I can count everything he ever bought me with one hand. I’m here to tell my fellow babes, no gree for any man who tells you every day is Valentine. He’s a scam.” — Loveth. Your story could be the next one featured here.
