A man calls off his engagement with his fiancée for mistakenly burning down his home

Xpressurselfshow reader sent this sad email to me on Sunday.

 
Vivien, my eyes have seen better days, I can’t eat, can’t sleep. For the past four days my I’ve been tearing up: eyes swollen, lost weight that my family cannot recognize me anymore, they are scared that I might take my life.

What kind of world have I come into, why should life throw me off the cuff like this? This is the sixth time that I am this close to getting to the altar with the man I love, only for my life to crumble before my own eyes. Last Sunday at about 3pm, my fiancé and I were on our way to visit his mother for the first time; a man I’ve known for nine months. Before we left his apartment, I had prepared pepper soup and rice (his favourite) but he said he will eat it after we have returned from seeing his mother. I left the kitchen sparkling. Full of excitement.

 10mins after we left Dolphine to Ikeja, my fiancé’s phone rang; I answered it since he was the on steering…….I almost passed out when I heard fire! Fire! Your house is on fire! She frantically said.

Straight to the point, we never made it to his mother’s home. By the time we could beat the traffic to the scene, half of the house had burnt down, neigbours with their buckets of water, fire extinguishers could not remedy the situation. Could hear the fire fighters and their siren trying to make their way into the building.

 I had forgotten to turn off the gas properly (the knob was half switched off)my God, how stupid of me: from that moment, it was a thin line between love and hate; almost all his valuables were gone, including his international passport.

Fell on my knees, pleaded , till they became sore. The only words he muttered was “GET OUT OF MY SIGHT, MY LIFE, I NEVER WANT TO SET MY EYES ON YOU”

 Every effort I made to get through to him were aborted, his numbers never go through, all his friends never pick up my call at least for them to inform me of his state.

Vivien, this is my predicament, I am 37years,is there anything wrong with me? The sixth time of getting close to the altar!!! I read my bible, I try to obey HIS word, I go to church, I pay my tithe. God what  have I done to deserve this misfortune. If anyone told me my fiancé could treat me like this, I would never had believed it……………how he professed his love for me,in the presence of my family and friends. We spoke every hour on phone,could not get enough of each other,that if he does not hear from me within five hours he would go into panic mood.

I am more confused than ever, his home is insured. It is painful I know, but it was an accident,..... thought true love supersedes every other thing.

 Please Vivien, I’ve sent you a private email with his mobile numbers, could you speak to him, maybe God could use you to touch his heart, my family is willing to replace all that he lost. I’ve never loved any man the way I love him.
