I’m telling this story because this pain is real – Man shares ordeal with wife
A Nigerian man has sparked strong reactions online after sharing how his marriage collapsed following his move to Europe, which eventually led to deportation and personal loss.
He shared his story in a post on X (formerly Twitter), saying he was not seeking pity but speaking about a pain that still feels real.
According to him, he married his wife with genuine love and trust, believing they were building a future together.
He explained that life in Europe was far from the dream many imagine, requiring hard work, long hours, and constant sacrifice.
He revealed that he worked exhausting jobs with little pay, often skipping meals and denying himself basic comforts, all to save money for one goal: bringing his wife to Europe legally.
He said every income he earned went into immigration processes, including legal documents, marriage papers, lawyers’ fees, and numerous appointments.
After months of effort, his wife’s visa was finally approved, which he described as one of the proudest moments of his life.
He recalled welcoming her at the airport with joy, showing her his new city, and believing they were about to start a peaceful family life together.
The man said things began to change slowly after his wife settled in Europe.
He explained that she became distant, angry, and increasingly critical, often comparing him to other men and accusing him of not doing enough.
Despite the strain, he said he remained silent, hoping patience and effort would restore their marriage.
The post revealed that the marriage took a dramatic turn when police officers arrived at his home following a report from his wife.
He said he was ordered to pack a few belongings and leave immediately, even though he had paid the rent and built the home.
He described walking out of his own house feeling like a criminal, while his wife remained inside.
After the separation, he said his life spiralled as he moved between friends’ homes and avoided people out of shame.
Divorce papers later arrived without discussion, followed by immigration authorities informing him that his residence permit was no longer valid.
With his legal status tied to the marriage, he was eventually deported back home, while his wife stayed in Europe.
He concluded that the pain was not only losing his wife but losing his sense of self.
He lamented returning home with nothing, while people assumed life in Europe guaranteed success.
