The statement reads:

"This is never easy. ove requires transparency, honesty, and accountability. When those things are compromised, there comes a point where you have to accept that the relationship cannot continue. No man can be that bad if he opens his heart and home again and again.
“I believed in giving love a chance, but after ongoing financial discrepancies and unexplained late-night absences, I had to put my peace of mind and dignity first. It breaks your heart when trust is shattered by someone you care for, but I refuse to let bitterness define me."
