He advises men to ensure that women sacrifice more in the relationship, warning that imbalance could lead to dissatisfaction and potential separation. GehGeh elaborates on the idea that women who feel they have lost more in a relationship may not stay committed, regardless of the man’s feelings. He criticizes the notion that women prioritize marriage over genuine love, suggesting that men should be cautious of being used as a means to achieve marital status.
GehGeh continues to discuss the expectations placed on men, particularly in terms of financial provision, even during illness or hardship. He shares anecdotal evidence of men building houses for women only to face betrayal, reinforcing his skepticism about marriage. GehGeh warns against allowing love to blind men to potential risks, advocating for self-preservation.
He recounts personal experiences with stubborn girlfriends, suggesting a lack of respect as a red flag. GehGeh emphasizes the importance of not letting love destroy one’s life, urging men to choose wisely. He advises against continuing relationships with women who do not respect boundaries. GehGeh suggests that traditional values, where women prove their love through actions, are often overshadowed by greed. He argues that men should not bear the sole responsibility for providing in a relationship.
GehGeh questions the fairness of women expecting men to fund marriages without contribution. He proposes that women should financially sponsor marriages to ensure commitment. GehGeh recommends giving women more responsibilities to test their reliability. He suggests transferring money to a woman’s account to observe her management skills. GehGeh advises waiting to see if the woman returns the money without excuses, indicating trustworthiness. He concludes that such tests are crucial to understanding a woman’s character before marriage.
