BBNaija's Tega Dominic weighs in on the controversy surrounding a man who dumped his girlfriend over a N100K skincare request, offering a humorous yet poignant reminder about the importance of financial freedom and communication in relationships.

Reality TV star and social media influencer, Tega Dominic, has sparked a lively conversation with her recent Instagram post reacting to a viral story about a man who ended his relationship with his girlfriend over her request for N100K to fund her skincare routine. Tega's sassy advice has left many in stitches, but beneath the humor lies a valuable lesson for Nigerian men (and men everywhere!).

Tega's post reads: “Chai, financial freedom is everything, this babe can even have this money to do this things, but know this guys, if she doesn't ask you for anything especially skincare, my dear you are dating yourself...” This tongue-in-cheek comment highlights the importance of financial freedom and open communication in relationships. In essence, Tega is saying that if your partner isn't comfortable asking you for support, even for something as seemingly trivial as skincare, “it may be a red flag.”

In the context of the original story, a man's decision to dump his girlfriend over a relatively small request raises questions about his commitment to supporting his partner's needs and desires. Tega's comment cleverly flips the script, implying that if a woman isn't asking her partner for help, she might be shouldering the burden alone – and that's a problem.

Tega's advice serves as a reminder that relationships should be built on mutual support, trust, and open communication. It's not just about avoiding awkward conversations or dodging financial responsibilities; it's about recognizing that our partners' needs and desires matter, and that we should strive to create a safe and supportive environment for them to thrive.

So, gentlemen, take heed of Tega's words: if your partner isn't asking you for anything, especially skincare, it might be time to reflect on your relationship dynamics and ask yourself: are you truly supporting your partner, or are you dating yourself?
