We started 2023 with big dreams, me and my girlfriend. We wanted to get married before the end of the year. After marriage, we would start a business together. Two years later, we would start making babies and make a big family. Everything was written down in her journal. I even signed under it and wrote, “So help us God.”
We were on course when she fell seriously sick. I had to invest the money I’d saved into her healthcare. I’m not saying I’m the only one who took care of her but a lot of my money went into it. Two surgeries, blood transfusion here and there, supplements and others I’ve forgotten to mention.
When she came back home, we had to postpone everything. Apart from the money that we didn’t have, she was also not stable with her health so we pushed our dreams to 2024. We didn’t have to change anything. We only changed the date.
Just last night, on the 31st of December 2023, we were supposed to go to church together. She wasn’t feeling well plus we had already gone to church in the morning so she told me she would stay home and join a church on the TV. I agreed and went to church alone.
At 10 p.m. I called her line to check if she was doing well. We talked for a minute or so. So she was cheerful. She told me she was good and was enjoying the service on the TV. I said goodbye and she responded. I didn’t cut my line. It wasn’t intentional. I heard a voice of a guy. I heard the sound of glasses. I heard giggles and loud music. What they were saying wasn’t clear because their words were swallowed by the music in the background.
I left the church and went to her house. The lights were off but their voices were on. I stood behind the window. They were making love, it sounded like. I called her phone. I could hear it ringing where I was standing but she didn’t pick up the phone. I stopped and sat behind the window until 11:43 p.m. when the door opened. She walked out with a guy. I called her name and she froze. The guy kept walking until he hopped into a waiting Bolt.
On the 31st of December 2022, I went home after church to see my room had been burgled. They took everything, even the carpet on the floor. She was with me. She told me, “We have life. We can do it again.” So Last night, I asked her, “Can you in all good conscience tell me we have life so we can do this again?”
I have life. I will build what’s broken again.
With someone else.

These is very painful bro…..you have to move on and hope for the best.
Everything is bad about this breakup especially the day in question. When everyone is wishing for the best in the new year. Sorry bro….but we moovee
Take heart and move one, always think of how good our God is and see everything, every situation from a good side and you will thank God. We have to pass through light afflictions and that is it. Stay strong and may God comfort you 🙏🙏
Dear seth this is sad. Very sad. Hmmmmm but just as you said yourself you have life you can do it and even do it better. Jehovah God will help you
So sorry you had to go through that. No one can explain why people cheat in a relationship that seems to be working, with all you said, nothing was wrong at all. However, looking for reasons will only keep one down, and I’m happy you already made a resolution to move on. I hope you heal, soon.
All the best.
It baffles me. What would make a person behave like that, especially a girl?
My heart breaks for you. If you were close I would have given you a hug.. Sometimes it is all we need no words just silent understanding and strength. Be strong you will rebuild overcome and conquer. Great things to look forward to this year. All the best and remember commit your plans to the Lord and He shall see them to fruition.
Don’t invest in a woman who isn’t ur wife
So sorry to those who passed through this situations but only God can judge everybody’s behavior and marked accordingly brothers and sisters let put our trust in God to choose the right partners for you. Thank you
This generation of ours feel we owe nobody an explanation as to how we live our life. We have artiste singing about how we should live life to the fullest and fulfil our fantasies. We throw karma and posterity’s judgment to the wind. I still believe, in God’s ultimate scheme, there’s a reward and happiness for those who do right by people and yet get treated badly.
Sorry Seth, it’s painful, but let not this deter you from being kind in your next relationship, leave revenge to the Lord.
