Ghanaian Man Regrets Bringing Ex-Wife To UK: “I Saw The Red Flags But Still Sponsored Her”

  • When Don Bestman travelled from Ghana to the UK, he had a wife back home, and he did not want to abandon her
  • He later brought his wife to live with him in the UK, but she only brought him troubles, and they later got divorced
  • He said his biggest regret is bringing his wife to join him abroad, even though he saw all the red flags he should have heeded to

A Ghanaian man in the UK regretted bringing his former wife abroad despite seeing some red flags.

The man, who gave his name as Don Bestman, said he and his wife were married before he left Ghana for the UK.

In an interview with DJ Nyaami on SVTV Africa, Don Bestman said he did not want to abandon his wife so people would accuse him of neglect.

He narrated that his ex-wife divorced him after she reported him to the police for allegedly beating her up.

"My ex-wife gave birth and wanted her family member to come from Ghana to help her in the house. But I was doing everything around the house. I cooked and bathed the baby because I wanted her to feel at home. But my former wife stole my documents so her cousin could visit the UK."

Don Bestman said his former wife, before stealing his documents, falsely accused him of beating her up, and the police threw him out of the house for a while.

"Before she stole my documents, my ex-wife falsely accused me of abusing her, and the police threw me out of the house for some days. I was thrown out of the house twice. The second time, I slept in a guest house for days. I later listened to an audio where she mentioned wanting me to have a criminal record."

It looks like the brother got one of those narcissistic Jezebel's from hell. I'm glad he's moved on and seem to be doing well. People, please do NOT ignore red flags, especially during the courtship. You do so at your own peril!

There are 2 sides to every story, personally his side sounds too sweet. I will entreat him not to talk too much because of the kids and the fact that they married before. Karma will fight for him if what he is saying is nothing but the truth.
