Dear MIMsters: Should I End This Relationship Or Give It Another Trial?

I am 32. I met a man who is captain in the army and recently divorced. He also said he’s a Pastor which I rightly confirmed.

On the first day he called me, he said that I should not reject his proposal cause it was divinely arranged even before we met. But I ignored his calls and even blocked his number on my caller app. 2 weeks later, I became restless until I unblocked him and we got talking.

Honestly, I felt a strange connection after I prayed. But what baffles me is, the second day after we met, he asked me to give him some money without even asking if I had any. I withdrew quietly. Then he came pleading, explained and gave some silly reasons.

Exactly 3 weeks later, I woke up at night to see a text message from him asking me to pay 10k into an account because he could not access his own account from where he was. I was angry and quietly told him I can’t get that anywhere. He gave another excuse saying he wanted to use it to facilitate the payment of his allowance because he hasn’t been paid since he came to Nigeria to work. He is based in Ghana. Meanwhile, due to the recession I haven’t been paid for 3 months now. I have tried to explain this to him especially when he complains about me not calling to check on him.

I’m very secretive and don’t know who to seek advice from anyone. And funny enough, when he notices I am disturbed about his demands, he gives me so much bible verses both relevant and irrelevant and pastors me so sternly on the phone.

Should I end the relationship or give it another trial?
