They say that love is blind – which seemed to be very true for one woman who claims she didn't notice her boyfriend was missing a limb for months.
The woman, who posts online under the username @postpartumpsycho, explained that she was so blinded by love as a teenager that it took her three months to realize her boyfriend only had one leg.
In the video, which has gained more than 251,000 likes, she explained: "If you ever thought that you were blissfully unaware, let me tell you about the time I dated a guy for three months before finding out he didn’t have a leg.

“I was 17. Met this boy at the rodeo. I saw him across the way, and I said, ‘That is a tall, tall gorgeous man, and I need to have him.’ So we exchanged numbers. Three weeks later, we were in love."
She claims that she was "inseparable" from her 6-foot-6 boyfriend, as they "saw each other, like, every day. We spent every waking moment together.”
But she claims there were some clues he was hiding something that she only noticed in hindsight.
She said he only wore trousers to outdoor summer events, limped when he walked and stopped her from coming to his basketball games.
But one day, she uncovered his secret when she was looking at a photo of the two of them together.
She said: "The more I stared at it, the more I was like, ‘I think I’m being bamboozled. So I took this picture to my friends, and I said, ‘Guys, I think my boyfriend might only have one leg.'”
Her friends were also left completely flabbergasted and pushed her to question him about it.
A few weeks later, he confessed everything, as she added: "He’s like, ‘I have Polio.' I was like, listen, I suspected this for a couple of weeks now, and you made it real weird by not telling me.”
Polio is a very rare but highly contagious virus that enters the body via contaminated water, and it can cause paralysis or death. However, there are vaccines available to fight against it.
She explained that her boyfriend felt like he didn’t need to share his condition since she met him without knowing about it but she felt "dumb and unaware" after finding out.
The pair continued dating for six months after that and stayed "very in love, and then I went to college and ruined it.”
Viewers were left stunned over the clip as they didn't understand how she missed it.
One user wrote: "Did y’all uh… ya know… cuz how did you not notice a missing leg/ prosthetic during that? This is hilarious either way."

However, other TikTok users were able to relate to her experience as they took to the comments to share their own similar experiences.
A viewer commented: "I now feel less bad I went through an entire night not realizing a girl had one arm, hugged me and everything."
"I dated a guy for 3 months before realizing he had a baby hand. HOW?" another said.
