Single Mom Receives $50,000 Gift from Boyfriend After One Week of Dating: A Whirlwind Romance

One evening, after everything was done, I got into bed and started joining an online friendship group where I met a man.

He was still young, single, and very generous. After many days of chatting, we found that we had a lot in common and got along well, so we started to get to know each other better.

We started talking and texting more often, and even sent pictures to each other, but I always refused to video call as I wasn’t confident enough and was still shy; he respected that.

After a month, we officially became a couple, but because of the long distance and our inability to arrange our schedules, we hadn’t met in person. At that time, we temporarily agreed to be in a relationship to get to know each other better.

He also knew that I was a single mother with a daughter and didn’t mind. In fact, he was very generous; in total, during the week from the day we agreed to date, he transferred almost 500 million VND to me, including the cost of buying luxury goods, paying for gym classes, playing pickball, eating out, beauty treatments… He even included money for buying things and paying school fees for my daughter.

Seeing that this man was so gallant and wealthy, and serious about our relationship, I felt even more satisfied and urged him to arrange a time to meet.

However, on the day we were supposed to meet, for some reason, he disappeared without a trace. I waited at the meeting point for three hours, drinking five cups of water, but there was no sign of him. I frantically called and texted him, but he didn’t reply, so I had to accept that I had to leave.

I sent him a lot of messages, but he didn’t respond to any of them. This made me worry about him even more because I didn’t know what had happened.

After a whole week of persistent texting, I finally received a reply from him. The first thing he said to me was:

– You’re a liar, I’ll sue you, give me my money back!

I was confused and immediately replied:

– Why are you accusing me like that? I should be the angry one. Why did you stand me up and then disappear without even a word? I thought you were a decent man.

– Yes, I am a decent man, and that’s why I was fooled by you like this, how pathetic.

It turned out that he had come to the meeting place that day but had “run away” as soon as he saw me, without even greeting me.

He said that I looked very different from my photos. I always considered myself an 8/10 in terms of looks, but he commented that in the pictures, my figure was gorgeous, but in real life, I looked like a “fat pig”.

He recognized me because I was wearing the 50 million VND high heels he had bought for me, but my figure was not what he expected. That’s why he turned around and left immediately.

Hearing this, I was furious:

– The photos online are indeed me, I used to look like that a few years ago, before I gave birth. I may look a little different now, but I’m sure I’m not as ugly as you say. You shouldn’t judge a woman who has given birth like that. If I have another child with you, I might look even worse, would you leave me then? I don’t need a husband like that.

– Don’t talk too much, I’m sure I won’t marry someone as ugly as you. I was really fooled by you. Give me back my money.

– There’s no way I’m giving the money back, the insults you threw at me because of my post-pregnancy body are exactly why you should compensate me.

I blocked his number, but I was still angry.

The photos online were indeed of me, but they were taken a few years ago, before I gave birth. After giving birth, I may have looked a little different, but certainly not as bad as he said.

Why would a man discriminate against a woman who has given birth? I’m sure I wouldn’t find happiness with a man like that. I’m glad he showed his true colors.

Confession from reader triduc…

Criticizing a woman’s post-pregnancy body is not only disrespectful but also has many negative consequences for both the woman and society. Here are some reasons why this shouldn’t happen:

1. Natural changes

After giving birth, a woman’s body goes through many natural changes to adapt to pregnancy and nurture the child. These changes include not only weight gain but also hormonal, skin, and overall health changes. Criticizing their figure is denying the efforts and sacrifices they have made during pregnancy and childbirth.

2. Psychological impact

Criticism can cause deep psychological harm to women. Many may feel insecure, anxious, or depressed after giving birth. This not only affects them but can also negatively impact their relationships with their children and families. An unstable psychological state can lead to long-term mental health issues.

3. Celebrating beauty

The concept of beauty is diverse and cannot be confined to a specific mold. Every body is beautiful in its own way, and after giving birth, that beauty may be different from before. Instead of criticizing, we should celebrate the diversity of the human body and encourage women to love themselves, regardless of their shape.

4. Encouraging support

Instead of criticism, society needs to build a supportive environment for women. New mothers need encouragement and help to get through this difficult time. Support from family and friends can make them feel more confident and accept the changes in their bodies.

5. Value of women

Women are not defined solely by their appearance but also by their inner qualities, abilities, and values. The sacrifices and love they give to their families and society are invaluable. Criticizing their figure only obscures their true worth.
