A TikTok user has called out her partner for ‘ghosting’ on the holiday she paid for and failing to celebrate her 30th birthday.
Lintle Mokitimi took to social media on May 14 to reveal that her unnamed partner had failed to show up to a trip that she had organised by herself.
The clip itself sees the woman sitting in a pink dressing gown on what appears to be a balcony. She can be seen holding a beverage and is curled into an outdoor chair.

Over the top of the video, she wrote: “POV: you booked and paid for everything, and he ghosted you the day of the trip, on your 30th birthday”.
Doubling down on the sentiment, she captioned the TikTok post: “Nothing can convince me that men are good people”.
However, it isn’t all doom and gloom, as it seems Mokitimi’s friends came to the rescue.
Later on in the 40-second video, she included a picture of her and three others posing in front of a car.
Over the photograph she wrote: “But you planned a second trip, second location as soon as he dropped you.”
She then continued to share some wholesome snaps that were taken in Clarens, South Africa.
Since posting in May, the clip has amassed over 72,000 views and has attracted hundreds of comments.
After watching, one user wrote: “The moment you see yourself paying for everything my sister let it go!”
Another said: “Babes the clue should have been when YOU booked and PAID for the two of you. Kanti whose birthday is it na bethunana? Some investment on his side?”
A third commented: “Keep being a lover dear darling, someday soon the puzzle will fit.”
Unfortunately, Mokitimi isn’t the only woman to be ghosted recently.
Back in September, Jasmine Triggs was boarding a plane from Fort Wayne, Indiana, to Houston Texas so that she could meet with a man she had been talking to online.
The 23-year-old claimed that the man had 'cleaned his living room' in preparation for her arrival and that the relationship was 'sexual'.
However, when Triggs was onboard the flight, she realised that the guy had blocked her number.
Recounting the experience she said: "I was talking to this guy for about a week and he asked me to come out to Texas.
"We were talking the morning I was due to go. We were talking and talking and talking every day, about where he went to school, how he'd been a cheerleader and had a robotics company.”
However, Triggs realised he had blocked her because when she was on the plane all of her "messages were sending to everyone apart from him.”
Upon arriving in Houston, she tried to call the mystery man but he didn’t answer. Luckily, she had a friend in the area who came to her rescue.
Triggs said: “Either he thought it was funny or he could have had a wife or girlfriend because he started saying he didn't know me but he shouldn't have left me at the airport.”
