My husband would drive my car and bring it back empty and dirty. When I talked about it, he got angry and said if I were the one who drove his car, he wouldn’t have cared whether I brought it back empty or not. I responded, “Because I would never even do that. At least,…
Some months ago, I started dating this man who eventually began spending nights at my place. His reason was that he shared a room with his father, who is on pension, and so, in his words, “staying with you and bonding with you makes a lot more sense.” Besides, I lived alone with my son,…
Giving comes to me naturally, and I am generous when it comes to people I am madly in love with, like my girlfriend. We have been dating since university, and I still remember the day I saw her going for a lecture, took her number, and worked my way up until I became her boyfriend….

I was completely shocked when I saw her text on my phone. From my perspective, everything in the relationship seemed to be going well. We were happy, we were getting along, and as far as I knew, neither of us was cheating or entertaining anyone else. At least, I know I wasn’t. Little did I…
