My boyfriend left me after 6 years because I was too educated – Woman shares first heartbreak

A young woman has shared a story of how her relationship of six years ended due to her pursuit of higher education.

She recounted good times with her teenage heartthrob with the view of getting married after completing their studies.

In a video shared on social media, she spoke about how their relationship began during Junior High School (JHS).

“So, I was in a relationship for six years, that was my first love and we both had our dream of getting married because we were young then.

"I had completed JHS by then, so we decided to wait until marriage. But along the line, due to peer pressure and all that, we had sex, and we thought that the relationship would lead to marriage.

"So, after SHS, I had to do a normal certificate course before going to the university. After the course, I started to work, so he thought that all was done with my education, while he also went into trade.

“I went to the university, and during level 200, he asked, what is the plan now? So, I was saying that I would work for a while and pursue my masters and all that,” she said in the video shared on X (formerly Twitter.)

The turning point of the relationship came when she decided to further her studies.

"He just said, as for me, I don't like a lady who is so educated. I just thought that it was a normal mere saying, but not knowing that it was not.

“One Sunday, I was just there, and he sent me a message: I want to get married. So, I said, then let me finish my school, then we get married. He said, no, I am getting married next week, so yes, that is how I got my heart broken.

"I just cried it off and pretended everything was okay. And then I continued with my studies,” she added.
