An X user added, âMy guy dated a lady who breaks things during their relationships. Everyone advised him, but he went ahead to marry her. The lady dey show am pepper even after having 1 child. Donât ignore red flagsâ.
One more Ghanaian added, âWhere do these people buy the acid and who sells them? Canât it be regulated or made illegal like weed and othersâŚmaybe you will need a prescription before it can be sold to youâ.
âWhether it was misguided love or intense jealousy, this is a tragic reminder of why emotional self-control is so critical. We have to learn to manage our anger before it leads to irreversible destructionâ, an X user added.
An X user added, âThe value of life. And the true consequences of our actions are lost on many of us. Never act when emotions are high. You will regret whatever you do. She has done an incredibly wicked and evil thing. She will now pay for her actions. May the man rest in peaceâ.
âPouring acid on your boyfriend, you claim to love, is unthinkable. This wasnât love, it was a total loss of humanity. We must stress the importance of walking away and controlling our impulses instead of letting anger take control of usâ, one more Ghanaian added.
A netizen added, âDonât ignore red flags. Leave if the person has a bad temper. If they are vengeful. Overly jealous or suspicious. Things wonât get better. Run away. People who are wicked and evil everyone will eventually do the same to you. Your partner must be your safety, not your deathâ.
