A Nigerian woman has shared a jaw-dropping dating horror story that has left the internet in disbelief—after a playful joke during a date led to her boyfriend secretly dating and eventually marrying the very woman whose number she collected for him.
In a viral post that has sparked gasps and facepalms across social media, the woman—who we’ll call Maryam—revealed how what started as light-hearted banter ended with her being replaced, dumped, and now watching her ex walk down the aisle with the other woman… who’s already pregnant.
“If you ever feel stupid, just know that I exist,” Maryam began, setting the stage for a tale of trust, teasing, and ultimate betrayal.
The Joke That Wasn’t a Joke
It all unfolded during a date with her then-boyfriend. When he pointed out a pretty girl nearby and joked, “Maryam, don’t you see that this girl is fine?”, Maryam played along.
“Should I collect her number for you?” she joked back.
To her surprise, he said yes.
Eager to be the “cool girlfriend,” Maryam approached the woman, telling her “my brother likes you” to get the digits. The stranger was hesitant, but Maryam persisted—even offering friendship as a consolation.
“Little did I know, they started a relationship behind my back while I was still with him,” she confessed.
From Secret Texts to a Wedding Bell
The emotional grenade detonated when Maryam’s boyfriend eventually broke up with her. She later discovered he had been building a life with the other woman all along.
Now, the final twist of the knife: “They are getting married next week Saturday, and to top it all off, she is already pregnant for him…”
Internet Reaction: “This Can’t Be Real!”
The story has triggered a tidal wave of reactions online, with many users stunned by the series of unfortunate—and frankly wild—events.
“So you basically handed your man his future wife??” one user commented in disbelief.
Another wrote, “This is why I don’t play girlfriend-of-the-year with men who aren’t my dad.”
Others called it a harsh lesson in boundaries, self-respect, and not being “too cool” in a relationship.
A Cautionary Tale for the Ages
Maryam’s story serves as a brutally candid—and painfully relatable—warning about misplaced trust, blurred lines in relationships, and how trying to be the “chill” partner can sometimes leave you out in the cold.
As the ex prepares for his wedding and new family, Maryam’s post stands as a raw, viral receipt of heartbreak—and a reminder that some jokes, when it comes to love, should never be made.
