A man has reportedly turned down a scholarship to study engineering in China after his girlfriend vowed to break up with him due to the distance.
This revelation was shared in a post that quickly gained attention on the popular social media platform X (formerly Twitter).
The man, reflecting on a similar incident he encountered, revealed that his girlfriend had threatened to end their relationship if he accepted the scholarship. He explained that the decision was a difficult one, as he had always dreamt of pursuing higher education abroad, but the emotional pressure from his girlfriend at the time made him choose a different path.
He shared his decision in a post, saying, “I rejected a scholarship to study engineering in China 🇨🇳 because my girlfriend at the time told me she’d break up with me because of the distance. So, I chose VUT instead. We broke up three months after rejecting the offer.”

Some were sympathetic, while others criticized his choice, emphasizing the importance of pursuing personal dreams and not allowing relationships to dictate career decisions.
