If you are in a relationship then I implore you to go through this list and identify the issue you have been battling for the past 3 months.

1. Drama and cameo appearances from the distinguished ex

There’s always one or two episodes dedicated to cameo experiences from an ex. They come in with a coy WhatsApp message or even a strategic comment on social media to shake the relationship and then bounce back to their life.

2. Whether or not bae/boo should know your phone password.

This one is the OG of Nigerian relationships, if you both have not even argued over phone boundaries are you sure you are a couple? Please pause and check.

3. Chores.

It starts with small but mighty things like who should cook and then graduates to who should wash the plates after cooking. Small but absolutely mighty.

4. Other miscellaneous trust issues

When you call them and they don’t pick and don’t return your call immediately, when they leave you un-read and still leave you on read. When you see them dropping love emoji’s on other people’s pictures.

5. Acceptance from family members.

It usually starts with the tests on this list. This is the real battle.
