HOW DO I BREAK IT TO HIM THIS NEW YEAR?

He knelt in front of me, looked intently into my eyes and said earnestly, "my darling, would you still be with me, when all I can offer is a cup of Ijebu Garri and cold water?"

I was touched. Tears welled up. My nose sniffed. I held his hands and pulled him up, clasped him in my arms and whispered against his beating heart, "boo boo, I will sieze the cup from your hand, pour the cold water into it, delve into the meal hungrily and bless the day God gave you to me."

Now he goes around lovestruck and puppy eyed, thinking I'm the next thing that dropped from the sky after Manna...

And I am here perplexed.  How do I tell him;

That it is Garri that has rendered me almost sightless without the help of spectacles?

That it is the love of Garri that induced that comment and not really my love for him?

That at the mention of Ijebu Garri I lost my senses and gave the 'wrongest' impression?

That I'm not as saintly as he assumes?

That in the true sense of the statement he made, my reply might have been very different?

That my wife material never reach that length wey he dey think so?

That I'm not who he thinks I am?

How do I break it to him this new year? I do not want to marry him for the wrong reasons o. Cos I don't think I can manage with only 'garri' in this time and age o..even if I love him die. I believe we 8117-2148-7400-1043should have things on ground that would prevent this 'garri drinking'. Who wants a planless partner?

How can my new year begins with confusion?!

Should I tell him or just keep quiet and hope that my garri drinking will be voluntary in the future?

I'm sad o. Very sad...and very confused at the same time....Help me please...
