A man has shared his painful experience after sacrificing his university education and personal ambitions to support his girlfriend’s studies in the United Kingdom, only to later discover she had married another man overseas.
The man, whose emotional story surfaced online, revealed that he and the woman dated for five years and had made long-term plans together before her relocation.
According to him, he dropped out of the University of Lagos to work and financially support her dream of studying abroad because he believed their future depended on her success.
Narrating the incident, the man explained that communication between them remained steady initially after she arrived in the UK.
However, things reportedly changed months later as she became distant and stopped communicating regularly.
“My girlfriend and I had been together for five years. We shared dreams, made promises, and planned a future together. I dropped out of Unilag to support her education and sponsor her to school in the UK because I believed her success was our success.”
The heartbroken man said he later discovered through the woman’s younger sister that she had married a white man abroad without informing him. He added that she blocked his number afterward, leaving him without closure.
The story has generated reactions online, with many social media users debating sacrifices in relationships and the risks of long-distance romance.
A similar story trended in 2023 when a Nigerian student claimed his fiancée ended their relationship after relocating to Canada.
