"When I was on my way to the MUPH competition, after a series of confrontations I learned that she had already been entertaining a person named 'Adam' for over a year during our relationship, she's made out with someone, made a move on other girls, and have been going out more often than usual that there were even times she wouldn't come home for days," she said.

"I wouldn't know where she was or who she was with. I didn't recognize her anymore and things began to change," she added. "People warned me about what she's been doing and yet I continued to defend her, and even tried my best to make it work."
