Obaa Yaa
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.
Dear Obaa Yaa,
My marriage is falling apart because I spent more than an hour at the market, and I honestly do not know what to do anymore.
Anytime I visit the market, my husband gives me only one hour to return home regardless of wherever I have gotten to.
This has brought disagreement between my husband and I .What started as a disagreement between my husband and I has now become a family affair.
I never imagined that a simple trip to the market would lead to such a painful situation in my marriage.
He has told me to pack from our matrimonial home until further notice.

Dear Baaba,
Do not allow family pressure to determine the future of your marriage.
Your husband’s family may genuinely want peace, but their desire to restore the marriage should not take priority over your emotional well-being.
Marriage reconciliation should not be about getting a woman back to her husband’s house at all costs.
You can respect your husband’s family without allowing them to dictate your decision.
On a more serious note, your husband should acknowledge the harm caused by his actions and apologise sincerely if he wrongfully sent you away. However, an apology alone is not enough to repair a marriage.

Dear Obaa Yaa,
I am a young lady of 27 years, living in a single room at Lapaz. I have stayed there for three years and I always pay my rent on time.
Last month, my landlord called me and said he had doubled the rent c from GH₵600 to GH₵1,200.
He says everything had increased so I must pay double or leave by the end of this month. I don’t have anywhere to go and I don’t have that amount. When I tried to beg him, he said if I don’t pay, he will lock my room.
Please advise me, what should I do? I am stressed.
Worried tenant.
Dear worried tenant,
I don’t know why your landlord is acting this way. He cannot just lock your room or eject you like that. In Ghana, the Rent Act mandates a landlord to give proper written notice and go through the Rent Control Department. Locking your room or throwing your things out is illegal.
You can explain to him that you cannot afford 100% at once. Propose something you can afford, maybe ask for time to adjust.
Go to the Rent Control office near you (with your old receipt and any message from your landlord). They will invite him and help you both agree on a fair increment. Usually, an increment should be reasonable, not 100% overnight.
While Rent Control is handling it, quietly start looking at other options, just in case he insists on not renewing your rent after your current rent expires.
