Dear Obaa Yaa

My best friend’s boyfriend and I have been dating for two years, and any time I try to end it, he threatens to tell my friend.

They have been dating for five years and planning to get married next year but he does not want to let me go.

I have stopped sending messages or calling him in an attempt to end our relationship, but he never goes a day without doing so. He will either keep calling or come to my shop to look for me if I do not pick up.

And when I refuse to be intimate with him, then his threats start. He sometimes tells me that I will definitely be his second wife and that scares me to death.

I really want to tell my friend but I am afraid that might cost us our lovely friend­ship and even our business together.

Please what should I do?

Akua, Amasaman.

Dear Akua,

First and foremost, you are responsible for the results of your actions. Why did you date him even though you knew he was your friend’s boyfriend?

This gentleman is a womaniser; someone who has no remorse and by his character he cannot work for a successful marriage.

Additionally, he will never be content with his wife. He is capable of breaking marriages and friendships.

Despite his continuous threats to expose your amorous relationship with him to your friend, you must take the bull by the horn and sever links with him, because he will tar­nish your reputation and destroy your future.

You must take this bold decission in order to save your friendship with your friend and secure your business.
