Dear LIB readers: My ex left me to marry another woman because of how much I earn

From a female LIB reader
My ex-boyfriend and I had a conversation yesterday about the reason he dumped me four years ago to marry another girl he'd started dating about two years after we started dating. My ex and I started dating in 2008, but by early 2010 he met another woman who he married nine months later. He broke up with me just four months before the wedding. I was so hurt and devastated that for three years I would not give another man a chance. I didn't have closure because I was tormented by why he chose another woman over me. Eventually we had the conversation yesterday after we met at a mutual friend's wedding on Saturday. What he told me was shocking. He said he loved me more but decided to marry the other lady because she earned more than I did. I was earning N85k at the time while the lady was earning N250k. He figured an extra N165k was enough reason to marry her. How is this even a reason to marry? Are some men this small minded? Is this a genuine reason or he just said it to throw me off? I wanted closure but this has made me more confused.

Well all I have to add to the comments is that you are deeply loved by God that He saved you from the childish and opportunistic human being. Besides, I hope you have learnt your lessons, openess in marriage not relationship. Some people in relationships will be treating the guy as if he is her hubby already otherwise I dont see why you will tell a guy how much you earn. Got this guy whom I dated, because of where I work he felt I will have money, he asks me to give him N500,000 at the onset of the relationship kwa. Shouoooo! come n carry now Otondo. He was even asking me how much I earn. I know best how to handle such guys. He doesnt know how much I earn all he knows is that I have money and then comes his stingy attitude. E no fit give me money as his babe. Of course I cant stay with such a guy. Gals be careful when a boyfriend is asking you some tins. Besides, being in a relationship you still have the right to hold on to some information about yourself except you know that you will be comfortable if the guy or girl spills ur secret should anything happen to the relationship, otherwise, your personal information is urs. Call me weird na you sabi.

The story is not complete - tell us about when you both quarrel - tell us also a little of some things you did that would get under his skin and how you both handled conflicts. One-sided stories mostly carry bias with them

Better forget the dude and move on. Dont even wish or wait for what Karma will do or not do. Let it slide. That's maturity.

If a man leaves you for that reason, you should be thankful. He is not worth wasting 3 years of your life for. Move on already. That is not a good man.

please go for thanksgiving in church and praise God because he has delivered you from someone who is not worthy to be called a husband.
