My mom doesn’t talk to my wife—actually, she hates her. She hates me too and calls me an embarrassment to my late father. I send her money every month. I do my bit as her eldest child, but nothing I do makes her want to accord me any respect. She respects my younger siblings, both…
I lived close to his mother, who had been living alone since her husband died. I’m in the same church as his mother and usually went to church with her and came back with her. When she needed help with anything, I was the one she called. In the evenings, when I didn’t have anything…
I met him three months ago on Facebook—a Nigerian who comes to Ghana and goes back. When we met, he was in Nigeria. We talked every day. He was a gentleman and also looked like he was well-to-do. He proposed even though we hadn’t met. I liked him, but I wanted to see him physically…
Religiously, my mother-in-law and I don’t align. She believes in unusual things and always wants to push her faith on others. When we were about to get married, she gave my husband a bottle of perfume and asked him to tell me to pour it into my bathing water and bathe with it for seven…
My wedding is supposed to happen three weeks from now, but at this moment, I am bailing out quietly. My boyfriend’s sister is fully on my side. She even suggested that I go through with the wedding and reject him at the altar as a way to get back at him. I won’t lie, the…
We have been talking for two years now. By all accounts, we should have moved past the “talking stage” and into a defined relationship long ago. But, we are stuck. There are a thousand reasons for this, and if I am being honest, one of them is me. When you have been shattered the way…
My wedding should have happened in February this year, but it didn’t. To me, it’s over. I’m no longer going to marry him, but to my family and his family, what we are going through is just a phase. They say I should let it go because we’ve come too far to allow this to…
Our one-year relationship came to an end during my birthday. He didn’t want to understand me. He wanted me to confess to something I knew nothing about. I said, “Why should I know about something I don’t know anything about?” He organized the birthday party for me. He initially wanted it to be a surprise,…
Why was a married man still being friends with his ex? He told me we are adults and that all the feelings had vanished. I didn’t think so. I don’t think it is ever that easy to move on entirely from someone you once loved. There are always small bits of love left behind. That…
He said the first person who came to mind when he entered trouble was me, because it was my name on his mind the entire time. He needed money to add up to what he had to spend as settlement to the family for taking their property without proper permission. He was speaking in parables,…
