A woman has shared a humorous university experience involving a former roommate who was known for giving strong relationship advice until she experienced heartbreak herself.
The story, which has attracted attention online, centred on a student who regularly advised her friends never to apologise to men or beg for a relationship.
According to the narrator, the roommate was widely regarded within their hostel room as a relationship counsellor because of the confidence with which she spoke about dating and relationships.
She often encouraged her friends to maintain a tough stance in romantic matters and insisted that men did not deserve apologies from women.
Things reportedly changed when she met a man she deeply fell in love with during their third year at university.
The relationship eventually ended, leaving the once-confident adviser struggling to cope with the breakup.
Recalling the incident, the narrator jokingly wrote:
“Abeg, forget that thing. Love na your mate?”
The account has generated reactions on social media, with many users saying it illustrates how personal experiences can quickly reshape people’s views on relationships.
