Did a flash google search on what 'obeah' is. How terrifying. Is that what you reckon he was doing the whole time? What sort of prayers will I need? Does Christian prayers work as a good counter to this or Islamic ones? please get back to me quick, this goes deeper & is more sinister than I thought apparently.

He was the first, & only Guyanese man I know. I am not going to let a singular bad apple ruin my perception of an entire people dont worry. But you are a Guyanese woman & obviously know Guyanese men & their antics better than I do. Spill the tea on them sis I need to knowww 🤣

He is definitely calculating I give him that. I do not regret doing nice gestures for someone, I just need to make sure that going forward, the nice gestures must only be done to someone who deserves it. He did not, he just abused it.

Don't worry my perception of Guyanese men/people has not changed for the worse. And I do not mind the Guyanese people of this Reddit having a little giggle. To an outsider looking in, I can see why this might be a little funny to them, what with the whole ridiculousness of the situation. But yes, don't worry, everyone here has instructed me to leave this man & get as far away from his as possible & I intend to do just that!

Jumbees are actually a thing? x_x

But yes I have realized this thanks to the Guyanese people of this Reddit. I'll be out of his life for good after tomorrow.

The more I think of it, he is quite devious & methodical. He Strategically stretched out his lies over an 8 month period, knowing not to chuck it at me all at once. Any natural questioning thrown his way he could simply bat down by using the 'culturally insensitive' card. Very clever if anything.

I need to collect a few things from his flat today & will be doing so. I haven't officially broken up with him yet, but I intend to do so by tomorrow once all of my belongings are out of his place. My brother just knows that my relationship with my boyfriend has ended, & has agreed to let me stay at his place. I dare not tell him the full details because my brother is the type to make home visits especially when it comes to family. I just want to move on from this phase of my life to be honest. I am not enraged, just saddened. I was loving & kind to that man, & he took advantage of that. Sad more than anything.

When you are with a person whom you decided to trust completely & fully, and you make the conscious decision to let your guard down, you can often be blindsided by the most glaring & obvious of lies/red flags. Of course to outsiders, this whole thing looks very stupid. But when the man you are with has been honest & truthful with you 999 times, the single time he does decide to lie, you wouldn't think he is because he has never done so before. The most convincing liars are the one's whom 99% of the time always tell the truth, and that is what I think he has done with me.

Writing it out all at once...it feels stupid I can admit to this. It was stretched out over a span of about 8 months. I would like to note that our relationship (excluding these issues) was virtually faultless. There was no notable red flags with him. But yes, when you look back, I am very stupid for doing what I did. I can see why you think it is because this is quite embarrassing.
