My sister’s boyfriend is pestering meDear Obaa Yaa,

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.
