“I ghosted my boyfriend who funded by UK studies, blocked him everywhere and got pregnant for another man— Lady
A social media post shared on X (formerly Twitter) has stirred intense reactions after a woman narrated how her relationship ended following her relocation from Nigeria to the United Kingdom UK for her Master’s degree.
In the post, the woman admitted that her boyfriend in Nigeria sold his car, land, and emptied his savings to fund her education and relocation, with hopes of joining her later.
She explained that the plan was for her to settle in the UK, secure a job, and eventually file for him as a dependent so they could start a new life together in Birmingham, away from Lagos stress.
According to her, things changed shortly after she arrived in the UK.
“Reality Hit Me in the UK”
The woman said life in the UK felt cold, lonely, and difficult, a sharp contrast to her expectations.
During this period, she claimed she met another man who was already a UK citizen, owned a house, and had proper documents.
She said the new man offered her a sense of stability her boyfriend back home could not provide at the time.
“What started as late-night study sessions turned into moving in together to save rent,” she wrote.
Pregnancy and Ghosting
Six months later, the woman revealed she became pregnant for the UK-based man.
She admitted that she cut off all communication with her boyfriend in Nigeria, blocking him on all platforms without explanation.
“I ghosted my boyfriend in Nigeria. I blocked him everywhere,” she stated.
She later heard from a mutual friend that her former boyfriend almost lost his sanity and is still struggling to repay loans he took to cover her flight ticket.
Though she acknowledged feeling bad, she concluded by saying, “Things just didn’t go as planned.”
Social Media Reactions Pour In
The post quickly attracted strong reactions from X users, many of whom criticised her actions and called for accountability.
Kas wrote: “This isn’t ‘life happened,’ it’s a choice with real consequences. You found stability, but someone else paid the price, at minimum, you owe honesty and accountability, not silence.”
Harry added: “You don’t have to be trapped by guilt, but ignoring the consequences won’t make them disappear either. Balancing compassion for yourself and for him is key.”
Cargo commented: “I think choices have consequences, empathy, accountability, and honesty, which still matter greatly.”
Omotayo was more direct, saying: “You don’t start a new life while breaking others, pay him back what you owe. The least you can do is pay back the money he spent on you.
“Don’t be an ingrate. Life is quite long, what you put into the universe will surely come back to you, but it may be your bloodline.”
Firdousy wrote: “It takes a black heart, wrapped in rotten lungs, to be cruel to someone who gave you their all.”
