He is seeing another Woman
Dear Obaa Yaa,
I am 25 years old and married to a 35-year old man. We had a baby boy after three years of marriage. When the baby was two-year old, my husband started cheating on me. I am financially supportive in the family and earn more than him.
Recently he asked me to support him to further his education. After a year in school, he started giving me attitude but I kept it cool. He denied me sex and started coming home late.
I reported his conduct to his parents who later advised him, but he did not listen. I later had a tip off that my husband was flirting with another woman in his class.
He left home for about a year without telling me his whereabout. My problem is the same man who stayed for a year is now pleading that I take him back.
Meanwhile, I have a man who has proposed to marry me. What should I do?
Erica, Kyebi
Dear Erica,
You must be commended for your willingness to support your husband in diverse ways, including helping him to further his education.
It is sad to note that despite your efforts to make the marriage work, he suddenly put up an appalling attitude which is not healthy for a successful marriage.
You did well by reporting him to his parents although he was adamant.
Having multiple partners and going to the extent of denying you sex for a long period of time means he does not respect you. It is obvious he is no longer interested in the marriage.
His plea for acceptance is a camouflage.
Since someone has shown interest in you, why not accept to marry him.
