I was to get married in 2022, but at some point, the sound of the music changed, so much pressure and unnecessary demands and drama coming from the supposed in-laws.
Her mother was already billing me, asking me to place her on a monthly allowance, and her sisters were calling me to send them money to celebrate their birthdays.
Even with the long marriage list that I was already working on, you had the guts to tell me to place you on a monthly allowance. Most poor families are never reasonable.

She too pleaded but I refused.
My mind was already made up at that point, and there was nothing anyone could do or say that would make me have a change of heart.
