I don’t want to lose my boyfriend
Dear Obaa Yaa,
I am lady of 20 years in a relationship with a 23 year-old guy. .
We love each other and are in a serious relationship that will probably lead to marriage.
I am afraid my family may not allow us to tie the knot when we are ready because gone were the days, the boy was known to be a notorious.
Even though I have seen a complete change in his life, I am still afraid.
When I told him about my fears, he told me that the name Saul was changed to Paul and for that matter I don’t have to be afraid.
I don’t want to loose him, kindly advice me on what to do.
Esinam, Keta.
Dear Esinam,
No parent would want her daughter to get married to a notorious person. If your boy has once been notorious and he says he has turned a new leaf, just give him some time to prove himself if it was just by words or actions.
For the time being, why not introduce him to your parents as your friend. That way you could be able to gather impressions your parents have about him.
It would also give you a definite opportunity to know if they would accept him in future if he has indeed changed.
Meanwhile do not get too involved because you might later be disappointed.
Do not also forget that he might be pretending to have changed just to win your love.
Dear Obaa Yaa,
I am 35year –old-lady married to a banker. I am a housewife. I am fair in complexion. I got my left hand tattooed sometime last year. I have never had my peace with my husband because he strongly abhors.
In my attempt to get it erased, I have caused a big scar on my hand which has worsened the situation. Sometime ago, your esteemed paper carried a story about how permanent tattoo can be cleared and a location.
May I know whether it is possible to get the scar and tattoo erased, and how much it would cost.
Worried housewife, Prampram.
Dear housewife,
Since I have no idea how wide and deep the scar and tattoo are, it would be difficult for me to have a meaningful discussion with the specialists at the unit.
I suggest that the next time you visit Accra, you pay a visit to any skincare unit and ask what help they can offer.
But until then, do not apply any self-medication. You may also ask your doctor to advise you as if there is any way out for a surgery. All the best.
Dear Obaa Yaa,
Ever since we got married, two years ago, my husband seldom wears his wedding ring except on occasion such as church service, funerals, outdooring and other social gatherings.
For the rest of the week, he goes to work without it. The excuse he gives is that whether he wears the ring to work or not, he is by law married to me.
But I beg to differ. I suspect there is more to it than what he told me. I need your advice on this.
Eno, Ashiaman.
Dear Eno,
Some men don’t like wearing rings; others enjoy it. It is just like how some women like wearing jewellery or large earing while others would rather do away with them.
The fact, however, is that a man can misbehave even when he wears it or not because there are ladies who wouldn’t mind with the ring on.
When he gets back home, he would wear it again. What difference does it make if he doesn’t wear it all?
