Dear MIMsters: Is Fiance Worth Holding Onto or Should I Just Leave?

I have been living with my fiance for 7 months now. We’ve been dating for over 2 years now and it has not been a happy stay. He is very short tempered one and doesn’t admit to his mistakes. He is kinda a mum’s boy.

Recently, after a disagreement with me, I realized that he reports everything happening between us to his mother up to the point of telling about all the furniture he has bought for the house. He has consult to with him mum for everything about us for MIL’s approval. He makes his own decisions without consulting with me. MIL talks so ill of me and she has urged her son to break off with me, so I have been avoiding her even though we all live in the same town.

We rented a house and share the rent almost equally even though salary is thrice times mine. Sometimes he provides for our household while I bear most of our expenses especially on food and consumables.

What worries me most is that every time there’s a problem, he is quick to suggest a break up. He has done this three times. Now I feel that however much I try to stay committed and be submissive to the relationship, he will eventually break it up.

Do I pack my things and leave before it’s too late or just hold on? Please advice.

  • Before nko, ur partner is not showing any serious emotional commitment to u and has set no boundaries for ur mother in law and honestly it’s onlt going get worse. I wish u all the best

  • He is not ready. What are you doing living with him sef? He is using break up to threaten you, he is a mommy’s boy. Please break up with him asap.

  • Three times! Its obvious he doesnt want this so dont force it. Plus his mum will surely interfer in the marriage.

  • He earns three times Wat u earn,yet u split d rent equally, that shows how desperate u are and his mum sees this and so does he. He doesn’t need u, he may fancy u in his bed but just know u are killing urself. Stop being desperate. He earns good salary but will never ever marry u.
