"I told him I already had a small apartment and didn't want to buy another one. But then he asked if I could sell mine so we could pool our money for a bigger one. I refused outright, saying that was impossible. He didn't take it well, and we parted on bad terms that day. A few days later, he asked me again. He said I didn't have to contribute to the purchase, but could I chip in for the renovations? I was speechless. The house wouldn't even be in my name; it had absolutely nothing to do with me. Why should I help pay for renovations?"
"And then?"
"The day before yesterday, he told me to just forget about it. I asked why. He bluntly told me he'd been introduced to another woman. This woman earns over 10,000 a month, and her family is willing to pay half the down payment..."
A woman who can pay half the down payment clearly has the upper hand. She can help with the mortgage and renovations... so, naturally, he'd choose her.
