Man gets woman's name tattooed on neck and moves for her - only to break-up days later

For most people, the idea of getting a partner's name tattooed on their body is rather daunting - and not something to be rushed into doing.

But one lovestruck man appeared to be the exception after getting a woman's name tattooed on his neck and moving countries to be with her just two weeks after they met - now that's a whirlwind romance.

Sadly, their love story doesn't have a happy ending, as living with each other for just 13 days appeared to be too much for the pair - and they've now gone their separate ways.

Terrance Green boasted that he and Alisa Thomas were already trying for a baby one month after matching with each other on a dating app and two weeks after meeting.

However, the relationship soured after he moved from Detroit, Michigan, US, to Toronto, Canada, to be with her, claiming the 27-year-old's 'toxic' friends 'caused too much drama.'

Newly single Terrance took to Twitter to break the news.

But it seems he isn't too downhearted about their ill-fated romance, as he's already back on dating apps, boasting that 'everybody' had been waiting for him to become single again.

Terrance, now living in Atlanta, Georgia, US, said: "Her friends would start arguments and make her cry.

"For me to be there and to have her crying almost every other day, saying 'my friends said this and now I'm sad', it was just so much stress.

"I told her she'd have to cut them off if she wanted our relationship to work, her friends were a big problem.

"We had a sit-down with one of her friends that I really didn't like because she was the main one making her cry.

"This friend had thrown a birthday party for her daughter. Alisa went without me, and then somebody made a fake Instagram page to say the party food looked nasty and the chicken was uncooked.

"This friend thought I'd made the page. She was texting Alisa saying 'I can't believe your boyfriend made that Instagram page.'

"This was all over food at a kid's birthday party. That's why we had this friend come over, to have a sit-down conversation and clear things up.

"We thought everything was cool after that, then her friend went off and told all the other friends what we talked about, made up a whole load of stuff."

This incident was the final straw for Terrance, who says he had grown tired of the 'toxic' drama.

Terrance said: "I woke up the next morning and Alisa was bawling. It was just too much. I said 'If you're not going to cut out the toxic people in your life, I'm just going to remove myself before the whole situation gets toxic.'

"So I just left, I chose to leave. The situation was getting too toxic. I hadn't even been there for a month.

"If she didn't want to cut them off, I didn't want to be there. We were going to get married and have kids. I didn't want these people around my kids or at my wedding.

"It's too early in the relationship for me to have to be fake and deal with so much crying. We hadn't even gotten past the honeymoon stage.

"They were all older than me, nearly 30 years old, and acting like high schoolers. I couldn't deal with it.

"I told Alisa I was packing my stuff and leaving. She was sad about it but I think she wanted me to leave. It was all too much for her.

"Her friends didn't like me. A lot of her friends didn't like the fact that I was planning a proposal and didn't want to invite certain people.

"I was going to propose to her on June 18th, I had a restaurant booked. We had a YouTube channel flying out to film it for us."

The pair first matched on the dating app Hinge on April 17th, and then Alisa flew 230 miles from Toronto to Detroit to spend the weekend with 23-year-old Terrance.

Terrance got Alisa's name inked on his neck and made the move up north in early June to be with her, telling his Twitter followers that he was intending to have a baby with her.

Despite his time in Canada being short-lived, Terrance says he has no regrets about how things went because it has helped him gain followers online.

He has, however, admitted he will get the tattoo covered up someday.

Terrance said: "Looking back, I'm not mad about it. I gained a lot more attention, my YouTube is popping now.

"I got a lot of girls I used to talk to back in my life. My life is kind of lit again. Life is lit. I'm back in the dating game again. Everybody's been waiting on me to be single.

"I don't regret moving too quickly with the relationship. I gained more fans on my platforms, I don't regret anything I do in life.

"I live life with no regrets - that's why I got the tattoo and moved to Canada.

"I'm going to get the tattoo of her name covered up one day, I'm not rushing though.

"I wasn't too upset about the breakup. I've been having girlfriends my whole life, it doesn't really hurt my feelings."

Terrance's tweet announcing the demise of his relationship racked up more than 39,000 likes and 13,000 retweets - though users slammed him for rushing the relationship.

One user wrote: "You f**ked up when y'all moved in together."

Another said: "I saw this happening from a mile away."

One tweeted: "Tattoo of someone you've known for under two weeks is just wild I'm sorry but glad the lesson was learnt."

Another commented: "Besides trusting Hinge with your life, you got a tattoo of her name, you moved to Canada, she was possibly pregnant, and all this happened when you had known her for 24 days?"

Alisa declined to comment on their break-up - however speaking about the relationship before it ended, she had said: "My family and friends had been nervous and had a lot of opinions about it moving too fast.

"I'd like to say that they support me and will come with me in time, but it's my walk to walk.

"I think if we didn't live countries apart, people wouldn't have thought it was a fast process. But because we live in different places, everybody was like 'oh gosh, they did that?'"
