Did He Really Love Her?

MR A and Miss B were engaged 

Their wedding was 4 months away. 

Mr A stays in Lagos and Miss B stays in Calabar. 

Miss B went for a seminar in Lagos and decided to pay Mr A a surprise visit at home (she never communicated to him that she was coming). 

She got to his house around 9pm and met Mr A getting ready to retire for the night. 

They were happy to see each other and Miss B decided to spend the night and leave very early in the morning to her Aunty's place.

In the morning, Miss B was already up and ready to move. 

Mr A told her to hang on so he can drop her off on his way to the office 

So Miss B had a little breakfast while waiting for Mr A to finish up so they can leave. 

Mr A was ready and rushed to the dinning to have a cup of tea and few slices of bread as usual. 

On getting to the dinning, he realized there was no milk and he checked the flask to confirm if his fiancée had made his tea. 

Well, the flask was empty as well.

So he called Miss B to ask what happened. 

Miss B responded by asking Mr A if he expected her to manage a tin of liquid milk for two of them. 

She said she couldn't manage a tin of liquid peak milk for two cups of tea. 

She admitted to have used the whole tin of milk because she doesn't like sugar in her tea as she prefers her tea very creamy and thick. 

She further told him to drink mineral with bread if he really had the need for breakfast that morning. 

While advising him to always stock his house with enough beverages to avoid such an occurrence as she wasn't ready to start mincing milk.

Mr A told her he was really disappointed she could only think of herself by using the whole tin of milk and not consider him despite seeing that was the last tin in the carton and he lived in an area that had no shops around. 

He was aware he had just a tin of milk left in the house and he had planned to go grocery shopping by weekend. 

He couldn't do it on weekdays because of his busy schedule at work couple with Lagos traffic. 

Since he lived alone and hardly had visitors come around on weekdays, he had chosen to manage that the next day which was Friday so he can do the shopping on Saturday. 

She was an unexpected guest and he wasn't aware of her trip to Lagos so the issue of expecting her and making plans for an extra mouth was out of it. 

Besides, It hurts to know she wasn't bothered about how he fed as he was living alone and working in a company that took all his time and energy.

This little episode brought an argument that almost led to exchange of bitter words but for the matured way Mr A handled it and readily apologized because he didn't want them to part in anger. 

They quickly settled and Mr A dropped her at her Aunty's place, gave her money as usual with lots of hugs and kisses and left to the office.

2 days later, Mr A called her to break the engagement and call off the wedding plans. 

Reason: He said the milk issue had opened his eyes to the kind of insensitive and selfish woman he was almost getting married to. 

He said it meant just one thing to him, that his wife will not be a good manager of his finances and home so he doesn't need that kind of woman as a wife.

Now everyone thinks his decision is too harsh and the issue so trivial to have led to their breakup, but he has refused to bend. 

Some people think he didn't love her enough 

Some think he is highly principled. 

Well, Mr A has taken his stand and has moved on.

What's your take on this?
