Dear Obaa Yaa,

We have been lovers for a little over one year and l have realised that a friend of mine is chasing my girl. However, when l asked her about it, she denied it and said my information was inaccurate. I love her and cannot leave her.

Though l am troubled in my heart, l have not yet asked the boy any question. What step should l take?

Dear Kofi,

Issues pertaining to relationships are fraught with challenges which vary from one individual to the other. It, therefore, takes diplomacy, tactfulness, and clear-headedness to overcome certain challenges in life.

You are fortunate to discover within one year that there is someone chasing your girl friend.

Though, by instinct you must be disturbed, you should rather try to find out whether your girl friend has another lover apart from you.

Secondly, you must try to establish whether the two of them had been in a relationship more than one year, which should suggest that they are old lovers. Additionally, to avert serious confrontation, there is no need to ask the gentleman any question.

If it is true, then you must be considered the person interfering in their friendship not the gentleman as you think. The earlier you quit this relationship, the better it will be for you.
