In the dating world. I was one of the participant. We've dated for over a year now. Somewhere along the line, he started giving me Ksh 1500 a month for being his girlfriend and probably being nice o him. He looked at my salary and joked so time back like , "Are you able to save a penny at the end of the any month?" To say it anyway, my salary is that poor.
He was committed not only in our relationship but in all aspect of our engagement. That amount never failed any month since he started. Even when my income was delayed, the amount was always in my account before even I notice. In return, I'd go to his place on weekends and cook for him and do of any kind he needed me to do. It was just assisting and keeping the bond strong always. "Hand go hand come," he would tell me. He liked using this phrase several times. I would respond, "Love goes love comes." This was very essential to me.
Notice now then, out of nowhere he told me he needed a discontinuity to figure out his life. What a surprise for me. He said he wasn't leaving me but just taking a break anyway. As much as I needed her then he needed himself too. He wanted to be alone, without a whisper of my presence. We argued. I needed to establish why his behaviour changed so first without my consent. I wanted to know if I had done something wrong. I wanted to know how long.
Well, I granted him the break yesterday. Well, ok my break was not geared by my thought rather his intentions. My problem now is the money he gives me monthly. Now that he's on break figuring out his life again, is it right for me to ask him if he's going to continue sending me the money?
Here note that, I don't want to sound like that amount is everything to me, but to be honest with you, it helps a lot probably as a booster for my thin salary. Losing it will bring me a little bit down the line and try figuring out how to start again. Is it wrong if I ask him, "Dear, now that you're on break, is the money going to be on break too?" Please tell me how to figure it out.
In this context , we are not breaking up. He has assured me dearly, so I'll be here waiting for him after his pilgrimage of silence is over again. I only need to be sure where I stand when it comes to that monthly allowance or as i called it “ Girlfriend booster”. Am I asking for too much?
