Nairobi Man in Tears after Girlfriend Dumped Him for Pretending to Be Broke

A Kenyan man has shared his heartbreak online after his girlfriend ended their nine-month relationship following a test he set up to see if she would stay with him during financial hardship.

The man, who had been supporting his girlfriend by paying her rent, her child’s school fees, and even helping set up a small M-Pesa business for her, pretended to have lost his job to test her loyalty. According to screenshots he shared, the woman’s attitude changed immediately, and she eventually dumped him via WhatsApp, saying she could not be with a man without financial stability.

He described feeling disrespected and insulted, despite his sacrifices during the relationship. “I just wanted to see if she was genuine, but she failed the test badly,” he lamented.

The story quickly went viral on social media, sparking debate across Kenya. Some sympathized with him for uncovering the truth early, while others criticized him for testing his partner in a way that may have undermined trust. Many argued that love should not be conditional on money.

The experience has reignited conversations about modern relationships and whether love can truly endure financial challenges. For the man, the painful test may have saved him from even greater heartbreak in the future. Additional updates and reactions are available on SouthReport.
