"I want a relationship with no Gender Roles. We both Hustle. We both pay bills.We both cook. We both clean and spoil each other."

Heading online, the man with the Twitter handle, @BongaGwengu shared how he had regretted messing up his relationship. In the touching post, Bonga owns up to the fact that the relationship ended up wrecked as a result of his actions - especially in the last seven months of the two-year-long relationship, he explained in the post.
"I once dated someone for 2 years... The last 7 months of the relationship were a nightmare. Me being the reason for the downfall. Still regret that shit until today.
"I remember the last day vividly... A day I will regret as long as I live. I know myself now and I've learnt to take responsibility for my own actions and not what anyone has done to me," he wrote sadly.
