Anonymous met his partner seven years ago and says they moved in together at his partner’s family home, on her request, as he used to live at his work quarters when they met. 

He was initially ok with this living arrangement, however, over time he’s felt emasculated by this situation, with people in the community referring to him as “makoti”. 

He has spoken to his partner about moving out from her family home and renting somewhere else, but she’s completely against it. 

Anonymous also feels bullied in his relationship and adds that his partner doesn’t seem to respect him.

Ask a Man 28 May '25: 'I'm over living with my girlfriend's family.'

Anonymous has been with his partner for about four years and says the first three years were easy going and the relationship was going well. 

However, in the last year things have gone cold in their relationship, and he says they fight a lot more and she doesn’t give him much attention or share her thoughts and feelings with him. 

As a result of the situation in their relationship, he started chatting to other girls for companionship. His partner found out about these chats and she now wants to end things with him.

Ask A Man 04 Sep '26: 'Has she given up on us?' 

Anonymous met a lady over a year ago, they hit off, and started dating. 

Months into the relationship he realised that she wasn’t really doing anything career wise, at which point he assisted her in finding a job but she said to him she wasn’t ready to work but would be good to go in 2026. 

Since the start of 2026 she hasn’t really looked or shown any interested in finding a job which frustrates him because he has to shoulder the financial burden in the relationship.

She’s mentioned to him that she’s not looking because she’s not well educated. However, he’s not happy with this situation.
