Doctor narrates how he ended up marrying his girlfriend 7 years after she left him and relocated to UK

It is said that if you truly love someone, let them go, if they come back to you, they were really yours, but if they don’t come back, they were never actually yours.

A Nigerian doctor has taken to social media share an experience that X-rayed him as proof that the above quote about love is true.

He recounted how his girlfriend got visa to travel to UK when he was in medical school, and he had to let her go because he did not think she would stay behind because of him.

According to the guy known as @divinedarling on Twitter, he gave her the N160k which was needed to buy ticket, and she traveled and never came back.

Interestingly 7 years after she relocated, the man got a chance to travel out after his internship and they linked. Today they are now married with kids.

Read his story:

”2004 I was in first year medical school, when my ‘girl friend’ visited me from Lagos and told me she got visa to UK and will be moving.

That night I thought hard about it, and cou8 hardly sleep. She said she had got everything ready except flight ticket which was about 160k.

In the morning, I decided to let her go, if it is meant to be we will work it out. A year earlier I met when I was processing my student visa to Uni Omaha for a Pre-pharm. And no jupita could have stopped me from going had I got the visa.

Before she left, I took her to the salon and got her hair braided, I gave the money for the flight ticket. And watched her enter Ifesinachi bus back to Lagos, not knowing if I would see her again. She flew out that Saturday.

She never came back a d hasn’t come back to Nigeria since then. I never travelled out until 7yrs later after my internship.

Today, I am married to that same lady. And we are blessed with children.

Marriage should be a union of purpose and vision. Each should encourage the other to pursue their dreams and accomplish his or her purpose.

Guess what; from my second year, I never bought clothes or phones for my self. She was sending clothes and designers perfumes, newest Nokia phones each year, while I was sending food stuffs. She was calling almost on daily basis, on normal call. She got me my first laptop.”
