"The reason I didn’t realise he was broke for that long is because, I never asked him for a cent, I am a woman who does everything for herself financial side, like if I come to your house, I want us to go out, I pay for it. I see a shortage in the house, I buy," she wrote.

"All it took was to see his payslip then booom! You no longer had feelings for him? It's tough being a man."

"I love my man and I don't care how much he earns, I just love HIM."

"What does his money has to do with the relationship since you explained that you have your own money that is enough to maintain you?"
