Lady turns down scholarship because boyfriend dislikes long distance relationship

A young lady has taken to social media to reveal that she turned down an international scholarship because her boyfriend was unwilling to be in a long-distance relationship.

In a post shared on X (formerly Twitter), she explained that she made the difficult decision to forgo the opportunity after her boyfriend insisted he couldn’t handle the distance.

However, just a week later, she discovered he had cheated on her.

Expressing her frustration, she wrote: “The bar is so low. I missed out on an international scholarship because he said he couldn’t do long distance. (He cheated on me a week after) 🙂‍↕️ I even lied at home, saying I didn’t get the scholarship. 😭💔”

Her revelation sparked reactions from many users, who flooded the comment section with their thoughts on her decision.

See some reactions below: 

@Arnotom: “You could have left him the moment he said that- he can’t comprise nor sacrifice.”

@HereWithShit: “Put you dreams first always. Let relationship be the last thing.”

@cybercitizenx: “Just imagine how much cheating if you were away, just forgive and go back sis!”

@Lord_GT15: “Harsh way to learn a lesson. Let’s hope you’ll only need to learn it this time.”

@lilyally99: “Your self esteem is digging for oil babes. Hope you choose better for yourself.”

@jayden_drews: “I’m all for sticking by your man but not with situations like this. Always choose skolo over monna. Ka gore rena will dribble you and some gents won’t care gore you let go of an opportunity like that for him.”

@boo_bonnet: “Please come to me next time ☹️😭…I was in a similar situation & my love at the time told me that he couldn’t do long distance BUT that he’d still break up with me if I stayed because he can’t be with someone “o dom”. I had no choice but to leave SA & I’m forever grateful.”

@coffeebagging: “Youth is the time for life lessons. Better now than later. There are women in their 40s passing on opportunities because of men. That will never be you now.”
