We met last year. (I'm 29M and she's 26F)
She was doing a catering gig for my friend's Grandma Funeral. I started collecting the plates as soon as people were done eating (and my friend, the one who was the only person I knew got stolen from me lmao) and that's how we knew each other.
It was perfect. Rose tinted glasses I guess since It had been 2 years since I was in a relationship.
We met at least once a week, usually in the weekend, Eating home cooked meals (I also know how to cook) and Netflix accompanied with cuddles and sex (more on this later).
The catering gigs were no more, but she got a job at the local school but it was paying peanuts.
I didnt mind helping, at all, at least when I was able to. But all of that led to here.
I dont make much, my salary is a mere 25K I live in a 1bedroom house for 8.5K (Gate keeping the location) and the rest of the bills and expenses/supplies can bring my total usage to 15- 19K and the rest is saved up.
This girl didnt like the idea that I just had savings. "Let's go shopping" "I want flowers" "Gas imeisha" "I want a dress for valentines" and I had to put my foot down by the 2nd time. The requests now became reasonable and not as frequent.
As you can probably tell, she had the mentality of "tumia pesa had I ikuzoe" which I was against. I always have a gut feeling and it sure as hell manifested twice this year.
The first was my phone. The huawei Y5P I had been using since 2019 died. Served me long but it was time for an upgrade. I bought a Galaxy A17. She also wanted a phone. I told her in the future.
2 months later, she's pregnant. I was flabbergasted namely since not only did I wear a condom, but also never came. Yeah, she did jerk me off at first and so I concluded that it was most likely precum, so I just caved in and took responsibility. We went to MarieStopes. BTW it costs around 40K (2K Consultation, 8200 tests, 19950 for the pills, 8600 for the check up afterwards), acha hizo story za 15K nilikuwa nasoma on r/Kenya...
All my savings for my new laptop, gone.
I had to talk with the landlord to spare me a month and to my surprise, he agreed, only because huwa simsumbui...
Remember how I mentioned sex, yeah, the lies started there. When we started having sex, she told me she was a virgin. Never been with a virgin but there was no blood in sight, or smell. Yeah my senses are crazy good, I can smell her period before it even begins... But still I took her word for it.
Sex was mid AF BTW.
Then came the inconsistencies. The 1K I sent for a screen repair? Well a new dress miraculously spawned in her wardrobe... The mom who she visited today at the hospital (inpatient)? I just bumped in to her while buying omena at the market and she's as fit as a fiddle...
All these things I turned a blind eye too just caught up to me up to this week when she lied to me about being sexually harassed by her cousin. Her story didnt make sense (She got a UTI test minutes after it happened all while getting P2 from the govt hospital and everything else done without a P3 form/OB). She told me a week later, and this so called cousin apparently isn't in the county nor knows about her place here as they never visited; as per her sister whom I also bumped into yesterday (Honestly, wanted to kill that nigga so I wanted to know about him first).
I felt betrayed and I think Imma have to call it quits when it comes to relationships.
Haven't broken up with her, but haven't talked to her since Thursday (1St Oct 26)
Also the realisation that that child most likely wasn't mine...
I'm so tired...
Update: Thanks for the kind words. Broke up with her over text just an hour ago. She hasn't seen the messages but its time for me to go back to my cocoon.
Freedom is in the air.
