Omo, that’s the real problem these days.
You try to have a serious, meaningful conversation — she’s billing.
She flashes you, you call back — billing.
You call to check up on her — she says, “I’m hungry.”
Billing upon billings. 🤔
⚡ The New Emotional Economy
We live in an era where many relationships have turned into mini tax systems.
Every emotional interaction comes with a cost implication.
You can’t even share genuine concern anymore without it being mistaken for a financial transaction.
It’s not about the money — it’s about intention decay.
When every conversation has a price tag, sincerity dies.
💡 The Psychology Behind It
Here’s the catch — when financial dependency replaces emotional connection, the relationship loses its foundation.
You can’t build trust on constant billing.
It breeds quiet resentment, emotional fatigue, and fake affection.
Eventually, the giver becomes drained.
The receiver becomes entitled.
And both stop growing.
Real Talk
Let’s be clear — there’s nothing wrong with helping someone you care about.
Generosity is beautiful.
But when every “hi” becomes an invoice and every “I miss you” is code for “send something,”
then love is no longer love — it’s logistics.
If affection needs constant top-up, it’s not connection; it’s subscription. 💳
The Bigger Lesson
As a generation, we need to start redefining value exchange in relationships.
Let support be mutual.
Let conversations be genuine.
Let love be affordable — emotionally, not financially.
Because if your wallet must always validate your words,
then what happens the day your balance drops?
Let’s bring back sincerity before billing replaces bonding
