My wife receives too many calls
Obaa Yaa,
I am very disturbed by the attitude of my wife. Recently, she has been receiving too many calls on her mobile phone. That is not so much of a problem to me.
What worries me is that she giggles as she talks and even though I eavesdrop, yet I cannot hear anything she says.
I have funny feelings she has been talking to a new man, but anytime I confront her about it, she denies it. I want her to stop it.
I cannot stand those conversations because the calls come at odd hours sometimes.
Obaa Yaa, please guide me on what I should do to stop her.
Worried man,
Accra.
Dear Worried man,
FROM the tone of your letter, it appears you have not discussed the issue with your wife.
Let her know in no uncertain terms that you are not pleased with people calling her at odd hours. It would, therefore, be better if she puts off her phone during those odd hours.
Tell her you are getting suspicious about those numerous calls, and that the situation is disturbing your relationship with her. You will therefore be pleased if she takes steps to limit those calls.
If she refuses, then she is being disloyal to you and also disrespectful. You may then report to her parents or yours and tell them what you think about her conduct.
I hope it does not get to that extent, though.
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.
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?
