He broke up with me because I refused to cook for his friends – Angry lady shares.

See ehn, men will shock you in this life. If anybody had told me that my relationship would scatter because of food, I would have laughed. But that’s exactly what happened.

So, my boyfriend let’s call him Chike invited his friends over one Saturday. Me, I had just returned from the market, tired, sweaty, my back was even paining me. Before I could even drop my bag, this guy leaned close and said, “Babe, abeg enter kitchen and cook for my guys. They’re hungry.”

I just stood there looking at him. Five grown men, all sitting in the parlor, drinking and gisting, not one of them even offered me water when I walked in. And you expect me to go and start pounding yam for them like I’m their housemaid? No nau.

I told him gently, “Babe, I’m tired. Let them order food or maybe you can whip something up.” That’s how wahala started oh. His face changed immediately. Next thing, he started dropping lines like, “A good woman won’t let her man’s friends go hungry.”

Good woman? So my goodness is measured by how fast I can serve egusi soup to strangers? I bone face that evening and carried myself to the room. His friends later bought suya and beer by themselves, but the tension didn’t leave the house.

Two days later, oga called me aside and said, “Ada, I don’t think this will work. You embarrassed me in front of my friends. What kind of wife material refuses to cook for her man’s people?”

Imagine. Relationship of almost one year ended because I refused to enter kitchen for boys I barely know. That was the day I realized some men don’t really want love they want free labor.

Anyway, I carry my dignity and left. Let him go and marry stove and frying pan if that’s what he wants.
