It is completely normal to reassess a relationship when new and unexpected challenges arise, especially when it involves something as serious as finances.
Recently, a Malaysian woman anonymously shared her dilemma on social media, questioning if she is in the wrong for wanting to break up with her boyfriend who has been blacklisted by the bank.
From house owner to AKPK
The confession was shared via X (formerly Twitter) by user @meinmokhtar, where the woman recounted the moment she found out the truth about her partner’s financial situation.

The woman revealed that her boyfriend initially presented himself as someone financially stable, claiming to own two properties.
However, she later discovered that not only was his salary much lower than expected, just RM3,000 per month, but his name was also listed under the Credit Counselling and Debt Management Agency (AKPK), which meant he was struggling with serious debt.
To make matters worse, his housing loan repayments exceeded his monthly earnings.
‘He only earns RM3k, while I make RM15k’
The woman then dropped another bombshell. Her boyfriend only earns RM3,000 a month. In contrast, she earns RM15,000 as a 30-year-old working professional.
Her final cry for help? Just one word — “Help.”
This short but powerful plea shows how torn she truly is. On one hand, she feels guilty for even thinking about leaving him.
On the other, the massive income gap and financial instability are hard to ignore, especially when she never expected to shoulder someone else’s debt so early in the relationship.
What do you think? Is it wrong to walk away when your partner’s financial reality turns out to be completely different from what they portrayed? Let us know your thoughts.
