A lady on X (formerly Twitter) has shared a complicated situation involving love, loyalty, and a blast from the past.
The user, identified as @vahpor, revealed that her best friend recently called her in excitement, gushing about the luxurious gifts she received from her boyfriend for her 27th birthday — including an iPhone 17 Pro Max, a brand new car, and several other expensive presents.
However, the excitement quickly turned into shock when she realized that the generous boyfriend in question was actually her childhood friend from secondary school — someone she once dated.
According to her, they had shared a heartfelt promise back then: if life worked out well for both of them in the future, they would reconnect and possibly find their way back to each other.
Now, fate seems to have played a twist.
The childhood friend has no idea that his current girlfriend is her close friend. Meanwhile, she is left confused about what to do — whether to tell her friend about their past relationship and the promise they made, or to stay silent and avoid creating tension.
In her words:
“Back then, we dated, and we even made this cute promise to reconnect and find each other if life worked out well for both of us later. But he has NO idea that his current girlfriend is my close friend — we’re tight like that! What should I do, guys? Do I tell her about our history? Stay quiet? This feels like a small world gone wrong.”
Mixed Reactions Online
The post has since sparked debate among netizens.
Oma advised her to be honest, suggesting that if her friend truly values their friendship, she would step back from the relationship.
Sheyma argued that it’s not her place to say anything, especially since the couple is already dating.
Alade recommended keeping quiet and maintaining respect whenever she encounters the guy.
Big Drey encouraged her to pursue her childhood friend and inform her best friend about their past promise.
The Real Question
At the heart of the matter lies a difficult choice between friendship and unfinished romantic history.
Should she prioritize loyalty to her friend?
Or revisit a promise made years ago with someone who may have once meant more?
In situations like this, communication, maturity, and timing often determine the outcome. Whatever decision she makes could redefine both her friendship and her past connection — for better or worse.
