A post about a woman giving her boyfriend N550k to buy a bag of rice and pay his rent sparked widespread reactions online. Many praised her for her generosity, while others criticized her choice, claiming they would never do the same.
One sarcastic comment by Enomfon Eyo read, “Is she still breathing?” implying that such a large financial sacrifice could be emotionally and financially draining. This comment underscores a perception that giving substantial support to a partner is risky and can even be self-destructive. It reflects society’s skepticism about financial generosity in relationships, suggesting that the balance between support and self-care is crucial in romantic partnerships.
