Two friends in love with a lady
Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that a young lady who chose not to disclose her identity got thousands of people reacting online after she narrated the love situation that she currently finds herself in.
In an anonymous letter that was shared on social media by popular relationship advisor, Abena Manokekame, the lady indicates that two men who are best friends both expressed interest in her.
According to the narrator, the most confusing part of the entire situation is that she loves both of them equally and does not want to hurt either one of them by accepting the other's proposal.
