The woman's video about her ex received more than 50,000 likes. Online users flooded the comments with their own confessions about their ex's red flags.

In a TikTok video, @thando_verbal said she used to lend her boyfriend money. When he'd pay it back, he used to make the reference "girlfriend allowance", and she'd screenshot it to show off. Next, her ex used to go to loan sharks. One time, her man took out a loan with their friend's wife, and she had to pay the debt on his behalf after he failed to pay it back, and she got harassed in his place.

The woman reflected on taking a road trip with her ex, but he tricked her into paying for it. She paid for most of the trip after he promised to pay her back. The ex later gave her a bit of money to return home (less than she'd spent), then asked her for R1,000 later, and she gave it to him. The TikTokker also detailed that her boyfriend had picked a fight a week before her birthday. He made no plans for her birthday after spending every weekend together for seven or eight months. She said:

"I asked him, 'Are you going to come pick me up after work? It's my birthday today.' His response was, 'And so? Guys, he hated me."
