Dear GhanaWeb,
I’ve been in a relationship with a beautiful lady for several years.
I met her when she was still in high school, and I immediately told her I liked her and saw a future with her.
I made it my mission to support her through her education, doing everything I could to ensure her comfort. I even went to her home to meet her mother and shared my intentions, assuring her that I’d take good care of her and wait until she finished her schooling before we settled down together.
At the time, her father had passed away, and her mother agreed to my promises. We started our relationship, and I made sure to provide for her throughout high school, showering her with gifts for her academic achievements.
I also took on the responsibility of caring for her younger brother, who was in JHS, as I had no other responsibilities at home. My parents passed away when I was young, and I was eager to start a life with this incredible woman.
I continued supporting her through university and even helped her open a makeup and wig shop once she graduated. Throughout all this, I respected her wishes and refrained from any physical intimacy, as she was worried, I would leave her after sex. I wanted to prove my sincerity, so I never pushed her.
This year, I finally decided to settle down with her, but her mother says she won’t approve of our marriage.
The reason? I’m an Ewe man, and according to her, my people will harm her daughter if we marry.
What shocks me the most is that my girlfriend has now told me that her family doesn’t marry Ewes, and she’s sorry for not mentioning it earlier.
After all the time, effort, and resources I’ve invested in her, her family, and her brother, I’ve never experienced such heartbreak.
Recently, she even texted me, telling me she’s in a new relationship and no longer needs the shop I bought for her, asking if she can return the keys.
I still love her deeply, but I’m unsure how to proceed. I’ve always treated her like a queen, and I feel lost and helpless.
I want to win her back, but I believe her mother is heavily influencing her decision.
I don’t know how to convince her family that not all Ewes are bad people. I need advice on how to move forward.
Thank you.
