A young lady, fueled by the fact that she lost her father when she was just two years old, and had to support her mother who was then left to cater for the family alone, entered into a relationship with a young man when she was seventeen. Her mother was a food vendor, and the business registered a huge success, of which she was a major contributor to it. A year into the relationship, she became pregnant and had a child for him.
While she stayed home and helped her mother with the food business, her boyfriend went to school.
As a supportive seventeen years old girl madly in love with her boyfriend, she contributed to his schooling financially. So useful was she to him in the aspect of money that his mother was always giving her the pep-talk that when he eventually graduates from school and gets a good job, she will be the one to enjoy his success-all in a bid to encourage her to support her son more.
To her young ears, the words sounded like a pretty good investment, and after the death of her mother and the business folded up, she moved into her “man’s” family house.
One time, she visited him in school and got the shock of her life: the girl whom he had allegedly claimed was just a casual friend to him turned out to be his girlfriend. She was heartbroken. Anyway, this caused a quarrel between them, and for someone like her, cheating was a no-no, so she made up her mind that she had had enough with the relationship.
His mother however, cajoled her into going to visit him again and reconciling with him, with promises of paying her pride price once reconciliation has been achieved. She accepted and acted as she was advised by his mother.
She visited him, and indeed, reconciled with him. It was after she returned from the visit that she found out that she had fallen pregnant again. She went above and beyond to get rid of the pregnancy but to no avail. Unfortunately, the child died five months after birth, and that was after undergoing a surgery, which her friend assisted in offsetting the hospital bills.
The burden of taking care of herself, her partner and their child fell heavily on her shoulders, so in a bid to make ends meet, she has ventured into several kinds of menial jobs…she did not have a degree that would aid her in getting a good job after all. Technically, she has been the only one “hustling” for the both of them from the outset, including the welfare of their surviving child. In fact, so serious and hopeful was she about the relationship that she had begun to bear his name in important documents like her Identity card, bank account name, etc, even before it became legal/official between them.
Anyway, the promises of his mother turned out to be empty as recently, he tied the knot with someone else, and the same woman who has been encouraging her to support her son financially while in school stood solidly behind him as he married another woman.
This was after twelve years of being in a faithful relationship with him!
Seeing now that there is no hope and future for her there anymore, she moved out of his family house with her child who is now eleven years old. She had to move on with her life by relocating from that same community, and getting a new job.

Years later now, the man may start calling seeking forgiveness. To think his mum is a part of the scheme afterall, hmmm!
Omo, 12 years wasted!
Really wasted.
Reblogged this on Site Title.
I just hope she finds happiness later on
We should all be careful when taking such risky investment
We can only hope
Risky investment indeed, one cannot be careful enough when it comes to relationship with promises you don’t know if they would keep. One thing I don’t understand some families doing is, they would know their son is not ready for you but will be calling you ‘our wife’ upandan. 🙄🙄🙄
Only God can save us from venturing into such investment o
It’s appalling
The man and his mother took advantage of her young age and good heart. May she find happiness wherever she is. Such investment is so risky.
They really did
So pathetic and unfortunate experience, I wish she never made that costly mistake. Anyway let her move on with her life and believe in the saying that says when there is life there hope!
Yeah
12 years is not 12 months or days oooo, hmmmmm, all the time, money affection, patience all flushed down the drain! May God heal her ooo, cause omo!
May God heal her
It would leave her broken, but she’ll definitely find peace later
Yes, she will with time
Some men are cruel… I pray she find love again. May we not labour in vain
Amen
There are lot of lessons drawn from this story.
1. Unless he is legally married to you, Never place your trust in mere man. I mean! She used his last name literally for important documents for a relationship hanging on with a thread. Risky investment!
2. It can happen to anyone when one is hopelessly in love. She saw the small 🚩 and still comforted her self with Marriage.
Once little signs start showing, you shouldn’t be told before leaving.
3. This Women supporting women thing ehh. I’m speechless on the role the mother in law played. Now, if she had disciplined her son properly, he would definitely know the right choice to make. Lessons to mothers and future mothers. Imagine the truma that poor girl would be going through.
12 years wasted for entirely nothing.
Sometimes when bad things happen to people, nah because of stuffs like this.
Thank you for this comment📌📌📌📌📌
The act of betrayal people portray these days is appalling.May we not be a victim!
Really appalling
When things go south for a lady, do not think getting into a relationship would make the whole situation go away… First you need to work on yourself but if you happen to get someone to legally put a ring on it.. that’s even better…
Imagine she used those years to hustle for herself, she would have been one hell bad ass rich bitch…
But because love carry her go where she no know… She suffered for 12 whole solid years…
May we not be blinded by love!
Amen
#Nice_Writeup.👍
Always put in effort in bettering yourself, not someone else.
Insightful! I pray our girls don’t fall into same situation. A constant reminder is necessary even though it’s hard to notice these things when one is in love.
True
A Story that comes with pains. Either as a guy or lady is good to build on yourself.. b4 anyone… as u support someone make sure u are doing same for urself…
This is it📌
Omoo…12 years is such a long time…to think nothing came out of it…that kind of experience could damage one’s mental health FRs…I’d advice her to prioritize just her and her child for a while…when she’s more stable, then she can begin another serious relationship much carefully this time
Yes, she needs time to heal and focus on herself
As I finished reading this story, what entered my head was, ‘shey you Dey whyne me😂’.
Sha, all of them for this know wetin Dey do them👩🏼🦯
