"Babe"
"Hi"
"Honey, why are you snubbing me?"
"I can't believe you're actually online but not chatting"
"Baby what's actually wrong? Did I wrong you? Please tell me am getting worried"

This was the whatsapp message I receives from my girlfriend. I was too busy on steemit that I forgot to check on my whatsapp. My phone was equally on silent so I missed 50 of her calls.

I just didn't know the excuse to give her. She has complained over the way I deprive her time to steemit. And I had promised not to let that happen again.

This morning, while I was busy writing a post and trying to connect with steemians on steemchat, discord and on posts, she dropped the above calls and whatsapp messages.

I just didn't know how to go about it. Maybe I could have lied. But I didn't. I told her I was on steemit and didn't see her calls.

Baaaaaaam! She called off the relationship.

Am writing this with tears. How could I let this happen. Loosing my girlfriend all because of of my obsession to steemit.

I wish I could get her to forgive me. I really do wish she can understand me. I've always wanted to be self employed , dedicated to something profiting and inspiring. And yes steemit gave me all that.

Now she's saying I have to give up on steemit if I want our relationship. I love her. But can't risk my steemit.

I pray she understands...
