Girls can be so trusting. Remember when she fell for that foreigner who turned out to be deceptive? And now she’s drawn to another older man?

When Irina Sirotina from Ufa met a man from Nigeria, she already had a failed relationship, battled depression, and gained extra weight. Her previous partner from Italy had deceived her, leaving her with nothing.

Soon after, Irina met Emmanuel, a young man who had come to Russia to study and was fluent in Russian.

After Emmanuel received his diploma, the couple tied the knot. Irina even had the chance to meet his family, who warmly welcomed her.

For the past four years, the couple has been happily together, living in Ufa. They haven’t had children yet.
