This woman said her ex-boyfriend actually broke her heart when he cheated on her, leaving her hospitalized with a diagnosis of broken-heart syndrome.
Leslie-Anne Smith and her boyfriend broke up in September 2022, but she had suspected her boyfriend was already cheating on her for months before finding other women’s underwear at his place.
They met on Bumble and Smith, 31, had previously seen him on Christian dating sites, so she assumed they would have the same values and morals.
When they first started dating in May 2021, Smith, from Kansas, overheard a conversation that her boyfriend started with “Hey baby.”
“I confronted him about it and asked who he was talking to, and he said it was what he called his sister,” she told Kennedy News.
Meanwhile, things in the relationship started moving fast. The 31-year-old was already struggling with the loss of her uncle the month before, who was a father figure to her, when she made the devastating discovery that he was seeing another woman..
But after spending a week at the hospital, she says doctors said it was most likely to be broken heart syndrome – also known as stress cardiomyopathy or takotsubo syndrome.
The rare condition occurs when a person experiences sudden acute stress that can rapidly weaken the heart muscle, which can be life-threatening.
Since, the real estate leasing consultant has been fitted with a heart monitor and describes how she is now scared to love again.
Leslie-Anne said: ‘My uncle passed and he pretty much raised me and then at the same time my ex cheated on me.
‘I met my ex on a dating app and I’d seen him on Christian dating sites. I thought we’d have the same morals and values.
‘Initially when we started dating [in May 2021] I overheard a conversation when he picked up the phone and said ‘Hey baby’.
‘I confronted him about it and asked who he was talking to and he said it was what he called his sister.
