One evening in Abuja, David took his girlfriend, Amaka, out to a fancy restaurant. They laughed, ordered expensive meals, and even took selfies for Instagram.
But when the bill came, David calmly slid it across the table to Amaka and said:
“Baby, I think you should handle this one.”
Amaka froze. “Me? David, you’re the man here. You invited me out, so you should pay!”
David leaned back and replied:
“And you’re the woman I want to build a life with. In 2025, things are hard. We should share responsibilities, not dump everything on one person.”
Amaka got upset. “So you want me to pay for dates, pay for fuel, and still cook, clean, and be a good girlfriend? What exactly is your role then?”
At that moment, the waiter stood there awkwardly holding the bill. Other diners turned their heads. Some whispered, “The man is wicked o, how can he disgrace her?” while others said, “But the guy is right. Relationships should be partnership, not one-sided.”
Finally, Amaka angrily paid the bill, but on the ride home, the silence was louder than Lagos traffic. She kept thinking: “Is this how marriage with David will be?”
💬 Now over to you guys:
👉 Should a man ALWAYS pay the bills in a relationship?
👉 Or should modern couples split expenses 50/50 since times are tough?
👉 Ladies, if your man gave you the bill on a date, would you respect him more or dump him immediately?
