A Singaporean man is reconsidering his long-term relationship after his girlfriend told him she is "perfectly fine being single" just before their anniversary. On the NUSWhispers Facebook page, the anonymous man explained that his partner had repeatedly expressed her contentment with a single lifestyle, both publicly and privately.
She acknowledged that companionship could be nice, but she did not feel a relationship was necessary for her happiness. Moreover, she believed that a DINK (double income, no kids) lifestyle was the optimal choice. The man, who had devoted a lot of time, mental health, and financial resources to the relationship, found her words difficult to accept.
He said that despite his efforts, he now feels like he is investing in a relationship that does not appreciate his contributions. The timing of her statement, just before their anniversary, made the situation more challenging. The man had already planned for their anniversary and birthday celebration and even intended to apply for a BTO (public housing flat) with her.
In the comments section, many readers advised him to take her words seriously and reassess the relationship. Some suggested open communication as the best course of action, while others encouraged him to leave the relationship, stating that she should not be taking advantage of him.
