A South African writer with the Twitter name , @awkward _ah , took to the social media platform to reveal why she dumped her fiancé .

The writer , in a series of tweets, said she was engaged to a man who would not let her pay for anything .

The woman who has as her header photo the inscription , “Single not desperate, ” said it might sound like a dream come true for some ladies , but it was her own worst nightmare .

She said a day would come , if she eventually gets married to him, he would tell her she owns nothing but owes him a lot .

According to her , during the course of dating , he was already hinting at her quitting her job and taking care of his own books .

She wrote , “I was engaged to a man who ’d never let me pay for anything . Like it got him mad when I bought things . I left him because that may sound like a dream come true for some , but it’s a nightmare . It ’s not generosity , it is control.

“He started hinting that I worked too hard . I should quit and take care of his books . When I asked what my salary would be , he laughed . Said I don’t need a salary when there ’ s ‘our money’. No , brother… could never be me

“He bought me a new phone and sim card . It would be best if we were on the same network for free minutes , he said . I saw that he just didn ’ t want others to have my number and also he would have access to my itemised bill .

“For some reasons , this man thought that by putting a ring on my finger he could now shape me into a mould of his own design . I saw through it all . I ’m really thankful that I did or who knows how my life would be today .

“Every time I ’d say no , he’d buy me things . I don ’t want to grow my hair, he got expensive flat irons . I don ’t like heels, he showed up with an Aldo box . . . It never stopped .

“Then he would hint that we should go to Mac . He knows a lady who can sort me out . He ’d like me to wear makeup all the time . You know , the business was picking up and we had to appear a certain way . I ’m a jeans and T kinda girl . He met me as such .
