About two years ago, I was madly in love with a young man, Chibuike, whom I thought was the best thing to ever happen to me, until it turned out that he was just the opposite.
At
the initial stage, Chibuike was all over me, showering me with love and
attention. At that time, I was working with a big hotel and though the
money was not too good, I lived well and he practically moved in with me
as he was still squatting with his brother and since we could not have
much privacy, I had to tell him to come and live with me.
He
did not have good job, so I was practically the one who fended for him
but I never minded beaus I loved and had hopes of settling down with
him. Then last year, I lost my job and could no longer give Chibuike the
kind of lifestyle he was used to and that was when we started having
problems.
But it got to a head when I realised that my best friend, Anita, was secretly sleeping with
Chibuike and when I confronted him, he told me plainly that since I could
no longer cater for him, Anita was doing it and he had to move on with
her. I also confronted Anita and she was smug enough to tell me to live
with the fact that Chibuike had moved on to her.
I
was devastated and ashamed at how two people who meant so much to me
could hurt me that way. It took a lot of crying to get it off my chest
and move on. Around August last year, I got this new job with lots of
perks including international travel, an official car, a house and
really good salary and just as I was basking in it, Chibuike appeared
and has been begging me to take him back.
Some
friends have also told me to take him back if he has changed while
others have forbidden me from doing that. I am confused and if truth be
told, I still have feelings for him but I fear he will hurt me again.
