A Nigerian man has made the difficult decision to end a romantic relationship after receiving what he described as a deeply insulting and accusatory message from his girlfriend. The incident, which he shared on the social media platform X, occurred shortly after a significant milestone: his first formal visit to her family home to meet her parents.
The Accusation That Ended It All
The man, identified online as @OxDami, explained that the visit was intended as a serious step, demonstrating his good intentions and commitment. However, the positive feelings from the meeting were shattered when his girlfriend contacted him on WhatsApp with a troubling question. She informed him that her father's wallet had gone missing and directly asked if he had taken it during his visit.
Her message read: "Hi baby. When you came to our house on Saturday to meet my parents, did you take my dad's wallet?"
For @OxDami, this query was not a simple question but a direct accusation of theft. He felt it severely questioned his character and integrity without any basis. The implication that he could steal from the family of someone he was dating, especially after a trust-building visit, was profoundly disrespectful and damaging to him.
Immediate Reaction and Breakup
The man stated that the message caused him immense pain and embarrassment. He interpreted it as a clear sign of a lack of trust and a readiness to assume the worst about him. Believing this crossed a line that could not be uncrossed, he chose to end all communication immediately. He blocked her contact, prioritizing his dignity over any attempt to explain or discuss the matter further.
He shared the chat in response to a call from an X user asking people to reveal why they ended potential relationships early on. For him, this incident was a definitive reason.
Nigerian Netizens React with Mixed Views
The shared post sparked a flurry of reactions from Nigerians online, with opinions divided.
Some commenters strongly supported the man's decision. User Kola reacted with a series of rhetorical questions: "You don steal person wallet for her presence before? You be yahoo boy? You resemble or act like pick pocketers?... cus this level of disrespect is unheard of."
Another user, Mr Willy, called the situation "heartbreaking and same time embarrassing," adding, "She must think very little of you."
However, others injected humor or suggested there might be more to the story. User Degen joked: "Bro it's like, 'how could you think I would do such a thing?' as he casually checks her Dad's wallet and pulls the cash out and throws the rest away."
User Dod offered a more blunt perspective: "I won't judge until I see what you looked like to the said meeting. Some people naturally look like thieves. Lmao."
User Sassy shared a personal anecdote, noting that theft by visitors can happen: "We did have a girl my brother brought over steal a pair of earrings out of my mom’s room once."
The story highlights how issues of trust, respect, and perception can abruptly end relationships, especially when serious steps like meeting family are involved.
