Dear Nana Ama, I am 17 years old and in SHS. The boy I’m in a relationship with is 20. We have been in a relationship for almost five years now and we have decided to get married in future. At one stage of our relationship, we cut ourselves and mixed the blood as a seal of our undying love for each other.
However, my lover has gone in for another girl and this has really disturbed me. I’m unable to concentrate on my studies. I feel like ending it all because of what he has done to me. What should I do?
Nana Yaa, Akwatia
Dear Nana Yaa, You have been in the relationship for about five years which means you started dating when you were 12 years and your boyfriend was 15-years-old.
At 12 and 15 you were kids trying to experiment with love and whatever you did, I must say, was done in ignorance.
Besides, as you grow up, your likes, dislikes, attitudes and so on changes and so you should not be too surprised if your friend has outgrown his affection for you.
What he values as a young boy at 15 may not be the same as that of a 20-year-old young man.
Try to also move on. You must bear in mind the fact that the choices you make today will determine what you become tomorrow so push your infatuation with the boy aside and concentrate on your studies.
If you fail your examinations, and there’s no chance of passing if you are not studying, you’ll become very miserable when you see the boy over whom you wasted your precious time living in prosperity with his wife and kids.
You don’t want that to happen, do you? Try and forge ahead and tell yourself there’s no point in crying over spilt milk.
