Kenyan Men Lament About Ex-Girlfriends Thriving After Breakup: "Alienda Maldives Na New Guy"

• A Kenyan man started a debate on X that saw men narrating how women they dated changed for the better after parting ways with them
• The men shared that, unlike them, the ladies landed good and generous men who even gave them treats, including trips to outside countries
• While a majority acknowledged observing this trend with their ex-girlfriends, others cautioned against equating 'thriving' solely with financial aspects
