I never thought losing my job would also cost me the person I loved. My name is Brian, and I live in Mombasa. For two years, I believed I had a strong and committed relationship.
My girlfriend and I talked about our future, our plans, and how we would support each other no matter what. She was my closest friend, my comfort, and the woman I thought I would build a family with.
But life took an unexpected turn. My company downsized, and I was among those who lost their jobs. It was one of the hardest days of my life. I stood outside the office holding a termination letter and wondering what my future would look like. Even though I was shaken, I wanted to be honest with the woman I loved. I believed she would stand with me through the storm.
Instead, she blocked me immediately after I told her. No message. No call. No explanation. Just silence. I couldn’t reach her anywhere. I felt rejected, embarrassed, and broken. That was the moment I realized that some people only love you when everything in your life is okay.
