I am aged 18 and my boyfriend is really confusing me. He repeatedly tells me that he would be leaving for the USA coming August and is not aware of when he would return back to Zimbabwe.
Just last month he had promised to marry me but is now saying the affair is complicated because of his impending long trip. I love the guy so much but my family says it is disappointed with him and would prefer we part ways. The guy still loves me and the two of us are now confused. Please Aunty assist me with advice. – Confused
Dear Confused
Well, I don’t see anything to be confused about really. You know you love your boyfriend and he loves you too. There is no reason he suggests that being away will complicate the relationship with someone not so long ago he was willing to marry.
The only complication would be dealing with a long distance relationship and making sure you both stay faithful to each other despite being far apart. But your family will only be successful in breaking something that is already broken. What I am saying is, you have the final say to everything because this is your life and you need to decide how you want to live it.
You listen to advice, consider it, weigh the options and follow what your heart tells you to. Sit down with your boyfriend, find out if he still truly feels the same about you and ask yourself if you feel the same for him. You are very young to get married. Don’t make a hasty decision because of his trip. Wait and see how things turn out. You have your whole life before you. Both of you need to be sure that you know what you want. – Aunty Lisa
