Subtle signs you’re in the wrong relationship
There’s no textbook definition of what a wrong relationship looks like, however, there are a few recurring indications when you’re in one. Here are signs that you’re in the wrong relationship.
• Not experiencing growth
When you’re with the right person, you grow and glow differently. The right partner becomes your strength, they support you, encourage you, nurture you, they become a bridge to your success.
If you’re in a relationship where you haven’t experienced any growth, may it be personal, professional or academic, then maybe the two of you aren’t meant to be together. With the wrong person, you’ll always convince yourself to procrastinate, they won’t push you towards your dream, they won’t remind you to hustle hard as it is none of their concern.
• Feeling uncomfortable
When you’re in a new relationship, it is natural to feel slightly shy talking to your partner about certain topics but once time passes, you develop comfort with your partner.
If you’ve been with your partner a while, hesitation shouldn’t be in the picture anymore.
You should be able to share anything with them without dithering. If you have something on your mind, with the right person, you’ll have it right out on your tongue.
And if you feel like you’re still not comfortable with them after you’ve been together for a long period, you’ll know you’re not with the right person.
• Mistrust
With the right person, you can put all your trust in their hands because you’re sure that no matter what, this person wouldn’t let you down. But when you’re in a relationship with the wrong person, then you won’t be able to trust them.
This isn’t about the kind of trust where you ask them to bring laundry from the dry cleaner or let them decide what movie to watch, this is about the kind of trust where you’d actually consider their suggestion while making a major life decision, like what college to pick, what career choice to make, what next to do in life and so on.
If you feel like you would never reach a point in your relationship where you can trust your partner enough to make these decisions with you, then you might want to take a step back and reevaluate your relationship.
• Not feeling protected
The wrong partner will never make you feel like you’re safe and protected.
This doesn’t necessarily have to be the physical protection where they fight-off trouble makers for you instead this refers to you feeling at peace in your head.
When in a relationship that is perfect for you, you’ll think of your partner as a safety blanket that you can always wrap yourself inside whenever you need to and they will make you feel safe again.
• Taking interest in others
The number one requirement of a healthy and happy relationship is loyalty from both the partners. When you’re with a person you love, you will never be interested in anyone except for them.
If you find yourself taking an interest in any person who isn’t your partner, then you’ll be wrong to continue to stay in the relationship.
• Lack of happiness
The ultimate point of committing to a person is to be happy, with and for them. If you often find yourself wondering whether or not you’re even happy with your partner, you need to stop and make your mind up.
If the concluding decision is you not being happy, then it’s time to call quits. If you’re experiencing one or more of these signs, then – it’s time to make some tough choices.
The Africa Investment Network has entered a new partnership with 17 Asset Management to expand investment opportunities for Africans in the diaspora.
The two organisations will work together to open more pathways for diaspora investors, provide better data on markets, and connect investors to viable projects across the continent.
The partnership will focus on mapping investment opportunities across countries and sectors, building a Diaspora Pathways Program to guide new investors, and creating a shared research platform that provides market insights, returns benchmarks, regulatory updates and sector outlooks.
The two groups will also develop a trade and deal catalogue to help match businesses with partners.
As part of the collaboration, both institutions will host investment roadshows through the Global Africa Summit series, starting with GAS Accra from December 11 to 12 at the Alisa Hotel.
The event will showcase deals, hold sector briefings and connect investors with government and private sector actors.
Africa Investment Network founder and Chief Executive Jane Reindorf Osei noted that diaspora capital remains one of Africa’s strongest advantages because it is patient, purpose driven and closely linked to local development outcomes.
She explained that the partnership will help direct more diaspora investment into areas where it can make the most impact.
Chairman of 17 Asset Management, John Morris, highlighted that the joint effort will blend strong investment design with Africa Investment Network’s networks and convening power.
He stressed that improved research and compliant market access will give diaspora investors more confidence across different markets.
The two institutions will open their diaspora investment platform in the second quarter of 2026, followed by the launch of a co investment window.
Investment roadshows will also be held in North America, the Caribbean and key African centres next year.
Africa Investment Network and 17 Asset Management invited governments, development finance institutions, family offices, asset managers and other partners to support deal creation, risk sharing and market building initiatives aimed at boosting diaspora participation.

Government Communications Minister Felix Kwakye Ofosu insists that neither President Mahama nor the National Democratic Congress has filed any petition seeking the removal of the Electoral Commission Chairperson and her two deputies.
In a one on one Interview with GHone, he explained that the President only forwarded petitions he received, as required by law, and has not initiated any action against the EC leadership.
According to him, the identities and motives of the petitioners remain unknown to government, and the Presidency is not involved in that part of the process.
Mr Kwakye Ofosu stressed that while the NDC has openly disagreed with some actions of the Electoral Commission in the past, the party has not submitted any petition asking for the removal of the EC Chair or her deputies.
He noted that comments by the NDC National Chairman, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, questioning the EC’s competence, do not amount to a formal petition.
He added that criticism of public officials is normal and does not automatically translate into a request for their removal.
Mr Kwakye Ofosu explained that once a petition is received, the President’s only role is to forward it to the Chief Justice.
The Chief Justice then decides if the allegations have merit. If they do, a committee is set up to investigate.
He said those named in the petitions will be officially informed by the Chief Justice, not the Presidency.
They will then have the opportunity to appear before the committee, respond to the claims, and provide any evidence in their defence.
Mr Kwakye Ofosu expressed confidence that the process will be fair and will protect the rights of all those involved.
