To take the risk of dating in today’s society is something less and less people are willing to go through. It’s unfortunate, but dating just isn’t the same as it used to be. Too often do couples get together for status and “fun” rather than love, resulting in multiple failed relationships even before the age of 21. The main reasons why relationships fail are loss of trust, poor communication, lack of respect, a difference in priorities, and little intimacy.
Finding out you’ve been cheated on after donating an organ is a hard pill to swallow- for Tik Tok user colleeeniie this is exactly what happened.
Semi-viral TikToker colleeeniie came forward about the situation that broke her trust five years ago via comedic relief. She posted a video that recieved over 2 million likes and 40k comments discussing how she had donated a kidney to her “dying boyfriend” and then got cheated on regardless.
Donating an organ is a huge personal decesion to make, even more so donating to your short-term partner. According to an interview with Buzzfeed, Colleen had only been with her boyfriend for 7 months before undergoing surgery. She had been aware of his medical condition from the start, but as they began to date, his condition worsened and he encouraged her to get tested to see if she was a match for donation.

During this impromptu meeting, he proceeded to share that he had done something he couldn’t take back. He had cheated on her a mere 7 months after they underwent a major operation together. Furthermore, an operation that required Colleen to donate an entire organ.
