Boyfriend quits job for a year to care for girlfriend for brain surgery, she now says he’s not romantic
A woman has sparked intense debate online after a video surfaced detailing why she chose to leave her boyfriend despite his year-long sacrifice to care for her following major surgery.
According to the video, the woman underwent a serious brain operation and was unable to afford a professional caregiver during her recovery period.
Boyfriend quits job to become full-time caregiver
In response, her boyfriend reportedly quit his job and became her full-time caretaker for an entire year.
During that time, he was said to have handled all aspects of her daily care, including feeding her, assisting with rehabilitation, and cleaning bodily waste.
The commitment lasted throughout her recovery until her health significantly improved.
Breakup sparks debate over love, sacrifice, and romance
However, while her physical condition stabilised, the man’s financial situation reportedly deteriorated.
Having been unemployed for a long period, he fell behind on bills, accumulated debt, and is now said to be working three jobs to meet basic living expenses.
The woman later complained that her boyfriend was no longer romantic, stating that he was constantly busy with work and no longer took her out on dates.
This reportedly led her to question whether the relationship was still worth continuing.
The story has since drawn widespread reactions online, with many users arguing that while dates and romance can be found elsewhere, few people are willing to sacrifice a full year of their lives to care for a partner.
Others believe the breakup may ultimately allow the man to move on from a relationship that no longer valued his sacrifice.
