Should I leave my uncle?

Published

on

Dear Obaa Yaa,

I HAVE been working with my uncle for the past two years in his shop with­out pay, even though he has prom­ised to pay me a monthly salary.

A friend of his offered me employ­ment in his shop and the remunera­tion is very attractive which I have accepted.

Am I being ungrateful for accepting the job and how do I break this news to my uncle.

I SUGGEST you give him another chance by reminding him politely about your monthly stipend.

On the other hand, he might have forgotten and maybe have invested it into something lucrative for you.

Kindly tell your friend to hold on with the job offer and speak to your uncle about any decision you want to take.

It would also be ideal if you speak to your parents to talk to your uncle on your behalf.

If he agrees to pay you, then let him know that you wish to accept an employment elsewhere.

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.

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

Published

on

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.

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?
