Mr Ogwuche, a relationship therapist and counsellor, in an exclusive chat, spoke about the effects of the young boy’s actions.

Legit.ng asked:

"Is it healthy for a child to be involved in adult relationship issues like breakups?"

The relationship therapist shared a detailed response to the story. He said:

"No, it is not healthy at all, and this is something people are laughing about without seeing the damage underneath."

"When a child is pulled into adult relationship issues like breakups, it places an emotional burden the child is not equipped to handle. A child doesn’t have the emotional maturity to process heartbreak, manipulation, rejection, or adult conflict. Instead of protection, the child is exposed to stress, anxiety, confusion, and emotional responsibility that is not theirs."

"In a case like this story, asking a younger brother to beg a man not to leave his sister turns the child into an emotional messenger. That can create feelings of fear, guilt, helplessness, and even shame. The child may start believing that relationships are saved by begging, pressure, or self-humiliation, a very unhealthy template for future relationships."

"As a counselor, I’ll say this clearly: children should never be used as tools to fix adult emotional problems. They should be comforted, not recruited. Adults must handle adult matters with maturity, boundaries, and accountability, not by dragging children into emotional chaos they didn’t create and cannot control."

"What looks ‘funny’ online can quietly plant emotional wounds in a child. And those wounds often show up later in life as poor boundaries, people-pleasing, or fear of abandonment."

On the question of whether situations like this shape how a child perceives future romantic relationships when they grow older, he added:

"Absolutely. Seeing a sibling or parent handle breakups with panic, manipulation, or emotional pressure can teach a child unhealthy relationship patterns. They might grow up thinking it’s normal to beg, manipulate, or pressure someone to stay, or they may fear attachment and avoid relationships. Early exposure like this can affect trust, communication, and emotional boundaries in their own future relationships."

Speaking about the psychological impact that witnessing relationship conflicts can have on the boy, he continued:

"Witnessing relationship conflicts like this can have a strong psychological impact on the boy. He may feel overwhelmed, anxious, or responsible for problems that aren’t his to solve. Being asked to intervene in adult situations can create stress, confusion, and even guilt if things go wrong."
