I miss my ex
Nobody can tell what the end would be that is why I try my best to tolerate anyone who comes my way but it seems most people turn to use my leniency for my weakness.
Reminiscing the memories we shared together always gives me goose bumps and this has always been a blast from my past. How I wish we were still together but the harm has already been done.
I loved this girl with my whole heart but all this while she took me for a joke. I was later informed by a friend that, my girl is cheating on me with another guy which I didn’t want to believe because I trusted her so much.
Rumours about her cheating on me kept making waves as days elapse to the extent that I was advised by my parents to quit the relationship but I never listened.
Out of the blue, my girlfriend introduced me to her guy on my birthday which almost got me to lose my senses. Currently, I am okay but the thought keeps coming to mind and makes me miss her. What should I do to get rid of this because, I don’t want to go into that situation again

Dear Samuel,
Well, the game is over with this particular lady, although it is normal for you to keep missing your ex-partner. Try to move on.
Doing that would require you to keep busy with productive activities like sports and make new positive friends. Do not try to console yourself by entering into a new relationship.
Use this time to build yourself and prepare for you will surely find love again. This time when everything goes well it will stay. Good luck.
I am in my final year in the university. My elder sister has been very supportive after the death of our parents.
My sister has a boyfriend who visits often. Anytime he comes around, she wonders why I don’t entertain him and why I suddenly find an excuse to leave the room. She takes it as me being cold, even jealous, and it angers her more than I can even imagine.
She has no idea about what is going on behind her back. He has asked me out on several occasions and looks at me in a lustful manner.
But my problem is that I never told my sister the real reason I avoid her boyfriend. I have kept my distance, not out of hate for her or for him, but because I carry a secret that would break her heart.
Princess, Tema.
Dear Princess,
Why are you keeping this away from your sister? As long as you continue to live under the same roof with your sister, tell her about her boyfriend’s behaviour.
Have you by any chance confided in any relative? I’ll advise you to open up to someone, at least to take the weight off your shoulder.
Act fast before the situation exacerbates.
Dear Obaa Yaa,
I am a young lady of 23 years who lives in a compound house around Kasoa in the Central Region. I live with my auntie.
We are not always at home because she spends most of the time at the market due to her business, and I am mostly on campus.
One sunny afternoon, I overheard some tenants talking about another who takes her bath in a basin and throws the water away. We have two big bathrooms, but just because she doesn’t want to scrub, she has refused to bathe there.
Although she is usually not around due to her work as a nurse, it doesn’t warrant her to do as she pleases. We have spoken to the landlord about it, but she seems unconcerned. What should I do?
Beatrice, Accra
Dear Beatrice,
I am surprised that your landlord seems unperturbed.
Have you considered having a conversation with the tenant to find out why she ignores the chores? She does not seem bothered about the kind of perception the other tenants have about her.
Why would a young lady who is a nurse and an advocate for healthy living be this lazy and unconcerned about her surroundings?
No excuse should be tolerated just because she’s a nurse and mostly not around.
