The young lady further narrated that throughout this period, her husband was working and earning money but selfishly decided to ignore her needs.

According to Obaapa Rose, when they first met on Facebook and started getting to know each other, the man showed some traits of stinginess, which she initially overlooked.

Obaapa Rose said before the proposal, the man decided to visit her to find out where she lived and also learn more about her.

On the day of the visit, Obaapa said it rained heavily, which made it difficult for him to return, so he decided to spend the night at her place.

The young lady said the next morning, she left him to go take her bath only to return and find him going through her stuff in her wardrobe.

She said he went through all the stuff in the wardrobe and asked her to give him some cloths to sew, which she did without hesitation.

Two weeks after that, she also visited him, and after spending the night together, the man starved her for several hours the next morning before going out to get food.

These incidents gave her the impression that the man was stingy, so when he proposed marriage, she also decided to hide her business and assets from him.

"I didn't let him know about my business. At the time, I had three fufu pounding machines, which he never knew about," she said.

She further disclosed that a few days after their wedding, the man took all the monetary gifts, including donations from her family and church, that were presented to them without leaving a pesewa for the upkeep of their home.

"For close to two years, my husband never catered for me. He told me he used the money that we were gifted on our wedding day to pay off a loan he took for our wedding," she added.
