Man Calls Off Engagement Over Fiancée’s High-Paying Job
A Nigerian man has stirred conversation on social media after ending his engagement to his fiancée, citing discomfort with her new job, which offers a significantly higher salary than his. The couple, who were preparing for their traditional wedding in November, have now decided to go their separate ways.
According to a close friend of the woman, identified as @Starbede on X, the couple got engaged in May. Trouble began when the fiancée secured a new job with a salary three times that of her partner. Instead of celebrating her success, the fiancé reportedly asked her to reject the offer, expressing concerns that her increased earnings would lead to a loss of respect for him.
The story has since sparked heated debates online, with many discussing the dynamics of relationships and income disparities.
The post read:
“My friend got engaged in May, and their traditional wedding was meant to be in November. Yesterday, she called me in tears to tell me the engagement had been called off.”
“She got a new job last month with a salary so huge that she will earn three times more than her fiancé. He was uncomfortable and asked her to reject the offer, saying she wouldn’t respect him if she made that much. Despite efforts to convince him otherwise, he insisted, and the engagement was called off.”
