Mummy dislikes my boyfriend who feeds me
Dear Obaa Yaa,
I am 17 years old and an apprentice seamstress. I have a boyfriend who is 22 years old and a mechanic.
Obaa Yaa, the problem is that my mother does not like this boy at all.
She says he is a rascal. Meanwhile, it is this same rascal who has paid for my dressmaking course and feeds me two times in a day.
He even gives me money for transportation since our place at Abeka is far from where I am currently learning.
I am disturbed because my mother shows her dislike openly to this boy. I am afraid he will just leave me and I will lose all these benefits. What should I do?
Comfort,
Abeka -,Accra.

Dear Comfort,
If your boyfriend is truly a rascal, then your mother has a point.
She is seeing it from the angle that he might put you into trouble one day, irrespective of the things he has been doing for you.
However, if you truly believes he is genuine and loves you, I would suggest you talk to your mother in a calm manner and explain things to her.
You can politely ask your mother to give him time and study him slowly so that she would realise that he is actually not the person she perceives him to be.

I have no peace in my home
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.

He doesn’t wear his wedding ring
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?
