A Kenyan man has sparked mixed reactions online after disclosing his controversial plans to go on a date with his girlfriend’s best friend on Valentine’s Day.
The man, whose identity remains a mystery, shared his story through a chat with popular Instagram page Nairobi Gossip Club (NGC), leaving social media users divided ahead of the romantic holiday.
According to the screenshots shared by NGC, the man had meticulously planned what he described as the perfect Valentine’s Day date with his lover.
He revealed that he had already bought gifts, booked a luxurious Airbnb with a scenic city view, and was eagerly looking forward to spending a memorable night together.
However, things reportedly took a different turn after he realized that his girlfriend would be on her period during Valentine’s week.
The man admitted that he tracks his girlfriend’s menstrual cycle and, upon learning that she would be menstruating on the big day, reconsidered his plans. Instead of postponing or adjusting the celebration, he opted to reach out to her best friend.
In his message to Nairobi Gossip Club, he wrote:
“Hide my id NGC valentine is here and I’m prepared to the core ..I’ve bought gifts ,booked a nice BnB with a city view but here comes the real problem, I track my girl’s menstruation flow and she’s on her periods this week.This made me rethink because I want to have the best day of my life.I’ve contacted her bestie secretly and she has agreed. I never thought it would come to this but I don’t want any misiconvenience.”
The man further explained that he had expected to enjoy the romantic night with his girlfriend but chose her friend instead after learning about her period.
He revealed that he secretly contacted the best friend, who allegedly agreed to go out with him on Valentine’s Day.
The revelation quickly went viral, attracting widespread criticism and debate online.
While a few social media users found humor in the situation, a significant number condemned the man for what they termed as betrayal and disrespect.
Here are some reactions from netizens:
@Wanjiku254:
“So instead of understanding her, you run to her best friend? This is pure betrayal.”
@TheeRealKev:
“Valentine’s is about love, not just one thing. This guy has missed the whole point.”
@ShikoBlessed:
“And the best friend agreed? That friendship is over!”
@BrianOnTheMic:
“Tracking her cycle then using it against her is wild. She deserves better.”
Others questioned the role of the best friend in the unfolding drama, with many arguing that both parties had crossed a line.
The incident has once again ignited conversations around loyalty, expectations in relationships, and the meaning of Valentine’s Day.
While some argued that intimacy is a key aspect of romantic celebrations, many maintained that love and companionship should not be reduced to physical encounters.
As the debate rages on, one thing is clear, this Valentine’s Day confession has left Kenyans talking, with many warning that secrets shared online often have a way of surfacing offline.
