Woman ghosted by 'professional hockey player' after 8 years together

A woman has recently gone viral after opening up about her friend being ghosted by her partner after spending eight years with them.

Taking to TikTok, user Emma Noyes, better known by her username @emmanoyesmaybe, posted a video recalling a dire situation her friend was in which involved being ghosted after a long-term committed relationship with a so-called "professional hockey player."

In the video, which has now been viewed a whopping 32 million times, Emma used the classic 'Put A Finger Down Challenge' to talk about what had happened.

Describing the man as the love of her friend's life, she said: "Put a finger down if you've ever been with a man for eight years and this man is the love of your life and he's also a professional hockey player..."

She continued: "And so one day he gets a professional contract to go and play hockey in Russia and it's for an insane amount of money so we can't turn it down because you're supportive so you say 'Babe go! Go to Russia. Play in Russia.'"

Emma then goes on to state that the man in question eventually does go to Russia and things are going super well for both his career and his relationship.

"...You guys are talking every day. You're talking about rings and weddings [because]... you've been together for eight years and he says 'I can't wait to see you at the end of February' when he comes home and finally the end of February rolls around and all of a sudden... He disappears."

That's right, he just vanished.

Emma then went on to recall that her friend started texting his family members including his parents who all seemed confused by the claims, saying that he was still responding to them as usual and that he had just gone on vacation.

So naturally the friend reaches out to him and asks: "What the f*** is going on?"

And he allegedly responded back with: "I'm sorry I'm not home yet, I will be home soon. This is not a good response or a drunk response. I will text you a good response tomorrow."

And that's apparently the last thing the friend ever heard from her boyfriend of eight years.

In the wake of the break-up - well, if it can even be considered an actual break-up - the friend tried reaching out to the athlete a few more times asking to talk, but it seems as though he was in no mood to respond.

He eventually went back to Russia, and that's when he hard-launched a whole new girlfriend on his social media account which the girls discovered he had been with for "quite some time."

And just to make things worse, the next photo that this man uploads is one of the woman with a ring on her hand.

Big, fat yikes.

Of course, social media users couldn't believe what they were hearing, with thousands taking to the comments to leave their opinions.

"LITERALLY GHOSTING AFTER AN 8 YEAR RELATIONSHIP IS THE MOST INSANE THING IVE EVER HEARD," wrote one user, while another added: "Eight years is the red flag."

A third asked for his personal information saying: "What’s his name? I just wanna talk to him."

This user also shared a similar thought: "Drop his name babe. You don’t treat other humans like this, it’s absolutely cruel behavior."

In a follow-up video, Emma revealed that she did not expect the video to blow up as it did but that she was thankful for the support given to both her and her friend during this incredibly difficult period.

She also expressed her intentions behind the original video stating that she was hoping the man in question would stumble across the video and be open to giving her friend some closure.

Let's hope it works!
