In a viral TikTok video, the woman, identified by her handle @rhoda2369, spoke candidly about her painful marital journey and the lessons she learned along the way. Her message, though controversial, has generated massive engagement, sparking debates about love, loyalty, and survival in modern relationships.

In her heartfelt video, Rhoda advised women not to give up easily on their relationships or marriages, noting that the world outside is often harsher than imagined.

“It’s not rosy out there. The only time I advise you to leave is when there’s physical abuse or violence

Expanding on her point, the divorcee explained that many people underestimate how difficult single life can be after leaving a long-term relationship or marriage.

She stated that loneliness, financial pressure, and emotional trauma often await those who leave without careful planning or genuine reason.

“It’s not easy outside. Many people think they’ll find peace after leaving, but sometimes it gets worse. Think well before walking away,” she advised.

Her words echoed the sentiments of many older women who have shared similar experiences, warning younger couples not to be swayed by social media portrayals of freedom or luxury after divorce.
