My Boyfriend Lives a Fake Life

I have been dating this boy for the past two years. He has refused to introduce me to his parents or even allow me to see any of his relatives and siblings.

He told me he stays at East Legon while I reside at Achimota.

Yet, he doesn’t want me to visit his family. I decided to spy on him to know why he doesn’t want me to know his parents.

I realised that he had been telling lies all this while and everything he said about himself was not true. I need advice on this issue.

Dear Kofi,

Dating provides lovers an opportunity to study each other very well and be cer­tain before they declare their intention to marry.

In view of this, you must count yourself lucky for what you have discovered within that period. Otherwise, you were going to be married to a deceitful person and your marriage would be based on mistrust and problems.

His decision not to in­troduce you to any of his relatives suggests that he has something to hide and he is not truthful.

This example should serve as a lesson to guide you while you search for your life partner.
