During my first year in the UK, I lived in a large shared apartment with six other people. It was one of those international flats where you learn more about life than you ever expected.
There was a Spanish guy, a Latvian, an Indian-British guy, a Canadian, myself, and two Polish flatmates a young man and a young woman. Everyone had their own room, and we mostly minded our business.
A few months after I moved in, the two Polish flatmates started dating.
They were only 19 years old.
What struck me wasn't the romance. It was the way they approached life together.
Neither of them came from wealthy families. They both worked part-time jobs and were trying to survive on modest incomes. Because they were under 21, they earned less than older workers due to age-based minimum wage rates at the time.
Money was tight.
But every challenge they faced, they faced as a team.
Whenever there was an issue with bills, they didn't come separately. They came together.
"We are a bit short this month."
"We are trying to sort things out."
"We are looking for extra shifts."
It was always "we."
Not "he should."
Not "she should."
Not "that's your responsibility."
Just "we."
I remember hearing conversations like:
"We are saving to get our own place."
"We are trying to manage our finances better."
"We are both looking for additional work."
"I'll pick this up on my way home. Can you handle that?"
Simple things. Normal things. But they revealed something deeper.
These two teenagers understood partnership better than many adults twice their age.
There was no constant battle over who should do what. No endless debates about who owed whom. No scorekeeping.
They simply saw themselves as a team trying to build a life together.
That experience taught me something important:
A successful relationship is not built on age. It is built on mindset.
You can meet people in their thirties who are still looking for someone to carry them through life. And you can meet teenagers who already understand sacrifice, cooperation, and shared responsibility.
A few years later, I noticed something similar with another flatmate.
The Spanish guy was 23 and dating an Indian lady. She owned a car; he didn't.
Every morning she would pick him up for work.
They travelled together to India, Spain, and Italy. From what I could see, they planned and funded their trips as a couple. Nobody was trying to prove a point. Nobody was obsessed with keeping score.
If one person had more at a particular moment, they contributed more. If the other person needed support, they got it.
Again, it was the same mentality:
"We."
Not "me."
Watching people from different cultures taught me that many relationship problems are not really about money. They're about values.
When two people genuinely see themselves as partners, they stop asking, "What can I get from this relationship?"
Instead, they start asking, "How do we make this work?"
That's one reason some Nigerians who date abroad often talk about how different the experience feels. For some, it's the first time they've been in a relationship where commitment, teamwork, and shared responsibility are genuinely practised every day.
But the truth is, you don't need to leave Nigeria to find that.
Good relationships are not a foreign concept.
They exist anywhere two people have the right values, respect each other, and are willing to build together instead of constantly competing with each other.
At the end of the day, love is less about finding the perfect person and more about finding someone who believes that life is something both of you should carry together.

She came to my shop yesterday to dodge for rain without even greeting when the rain was about to stop she wanted to be going not until the rain was still draining.
Our eyes eventually caught each other but I just stood my ground not to offer her a sit just because she doesn't know how to utter a greeting.
This married woman is an apprentice just like me, we are both learning how to sew. This morning, she came to work late and our madam asked her to kneel down.
This is somebody’s wife ooo.
I summoned courage to tell her that she can’t ask someone’s wife to kneel down just because she came late, at least respect her husband.
Can you imagine that this woman slapped me and ask me to stop coming to her shop.. that I’m so disrespectful and that’s why she doesn’t accept Igbo people.
I didnt argue i just asked her to refund me back my 160k
I paid for 6 months and I’ve only spent 3 weeks with her
People around are asking me to beg my madam instead of asking for a refund that this is how it’s being done
