After My First BF Broke My Heart, I Became Cold And Brutal. I Was Dating 3 Men At A Time—Joy Edjeren

 Former Nollywood actress, Joy Edjeren, has opened up about the emotional damage she experienced after a painful breakup that changed her approach to love and relationships.

Speaking in a candid interview with Delafe Testimonies, Edjeren shared how her first heartbreak made her emotionally distant and led her into a season of reckless dating.

“After that first boyfriend broke my heart, I was like, ‘Is this how it is?’ So, people don’t love or care for real? All right, next man. Come on. I'm going to show you that I can be cold too,” she said.

Determined to protect herself, Edjeren said she shut down emotionally.

“I programmed myself to be cold. I don’t care how much you profess to love me, I locked the part of my heart that allows true love in. So, you were dealing with a shell. Anyone who came after got something cold. I was cold and brutal.”

She admitted that during this phase, she dated multiple men at the same time.

“Men came and left. I would have like three boyfriends at a time. One would pay my rent. One was cute, so I liked him for real. I had all those craziness going on in my life.”
