I have been in and out of relationships. In fact, most of the recent relationships happened because the ladies approached me with relentless persistence. When I finally agreed to be with them, it didn’t end well. The experiences often left bitter tastes in my mouth. For that reason, I never thought I could truly love again.

However, my resolve dissolved about two weeks ago when I met a lady on Facebook, and we started talking. Her name is Vera. We have yet to meet but love is no respecter of logic. Somehow, I found myself longing for her.
Six months before I came across her profile, I had cut off all ties with every single lady I even called a friend, so I was completely single when she came into my life. After talking for a few days, we started dating.
Though the relationship was fresh out of the oven, we made big plans together. My ultimate plan was to visit her family by December, so we could start preparing for marriage.
She told me, “I have never been touched by a man. I want to keep it that way till we get married.”
I said that was fine with me. Despite my high libido, I had no desire to persuade her to change her mind. I wanted to wait.
One thing I love about her is that she supports my art. I am a fashion designer and an upcoming reggae musician. She not only praises my lyrical work but also believes absolutely in me. She is the one person in my life who is convinced that I will make it very soon.
She tells me that my intelligence and the way I share my life experiences have really drawn her to me. I think she is very intelligent too. And her beauty is otherworldly. She is also beautiful, respectful, and doing well for herself as a tech professional. She is three years older than me, yet she doesn’t hold that over my head. If anything, she makes me feel as if I am ten years older than her.
Things were progressing smoothly. We even started making plans for her to come to Accra so we could begin executing some of our plans. But everything changed a few days ago when she asked me what could make me cheat in a relationship.
I told her, “If you are not able to satisfy me. I have a high libido.”
Maybe I should have recognised it as a trick question, because my honest answer didn’t sit well with her.

She said she cannot date, let alone marry, a man who intends to cheat if his needs are not met.
I have come to love this girl so much, even though we’ve never met face-to-face. I talked and reassured her over and over, but things haven’t been the same. She says we’re cool, but I know we’re not. She won’t chat with me unless I message first, and even then, she replies after a long while with short, dry responses that kill the conversation. She no longer calls me—something she could never go without before.

I am confused, devastated, sad, and broken—so broken that even food tastes sour in my mouth these past few days. How could she turn her back on me in the blink of an eye after everything I thought we shared?
Now I am left wondering about the fate of this relationship. I know I can move on, but the thought that a simple question and an honest answer crippled us keeps haunting me. Was it intentional? Was she looking for a reason to leave me all along? Was I foolish to give that response?
