"There’s a difference between the woman who leaves to enjoy her life alone and the one who leaves in pursuit of a better man. Because it looks like there may be no better straight men. Hence her regret. This doesn’t apply to everyone."
@BigolTreat said:
"This is why women who make a lot of money have to deal with guys who make just as much as them or more. Not all but most women will start to feel like this. Unfortunately that’s just life. If men want an independent woman u have to be ready for what comes with it."
@MinKarizmine369 said:
"I keep hearing men needing adversity to grow. You’re walking away may have been the blowback he needed to find his will to come up We all play our parts."
@CutieBootyCEO said:
"Boom! She said it: "I thought i was better than him." Pride goes before a fall. Ya'll better quit thinking these jobs make u better than the next & stay humble.
"FYI: humility is a sober opinion of self & this woman was drunk AF on the thought of herself. Don't do it."
Nigerian man, 20, divorces wife of eight months
Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a Nigerian boy had divorced his young wife after a few months of marriage.
The young couple's wedding, which was held in 2022, sent social media into a frenzy owing to their ages.
Sharing a video from his traditional wedding on TikTok, the Mbaise native from Imo state lamented that it is better to be single than married to his estranged wife.
"It is better to be single than to be with someone like her. So that is why I came out to let everyone know we are no longer together. Thanks for the advice,'' he wrote on the clip.
