A Surprise Visit to My Long Distance Boyfriend Turned into a Disaster— Story of the Day

After my husband left me after 20 years, I sought love online and met Juan from Mexico. Taking a chance, I traveled to surprise him—only to wake up on the street, robbed and abandoned.

Lost and desperate, a kind man, Miguel, took me in, offering food and help. Then, I saw Juan with another woman. Determined, I tricked him, stole his phone, and exposed his scams. Miguel called the police, and Juan was arrested.

Though betrayed, I found strength and kindness in Miguel, realizing a fresh start was more valuable than lost love.
