I am not a happy Mrs.

Hi Counselor,

I am reaching out to you with a deeply personal and challenging situation that I am currently facing in my marriage. Your guidance and expertise would be invaluable to me at this time.

I have been married to a man for two years, but I must admit that I have not been able to develop any form of love or deep affection for him. The decision to marry him was primarily influenced by external factors. At the time, my previous relationship had no immediate prospects of leading to marriage, and I felt tremendous pressure to settle down. My friends were all married, and societal expectations, as well as family pressures, were mounting.

Despite sharing a strong bond with my ex-boyfriend, we both recognized that marriage was not on the horizon for us, and we mutually agreed to part ways. Feeling the weight of my age, as I was in my mid-30s, I reluctantly considered the proposal of a man who had been pursuing me for about three years. He was more than willing to meet my family and pay my bride price, which my ex-boyfriend was hesitant to do.

I agreed to the marriage proposal, and we are now husband and wife. We even have a beautiful baby girl together. However, no matter how hard I try, I find myself unable to develop genuine feelings of love for him. I have remained faithful to him, but my deepest fear is that I may never be able to fully commit to this relationship. I worry about living with a man for whom I have no romantic affection.

Divorce is not an option I wish to consider, even though I have exhausted every effort to nurture love within me. My husband genuinely cherishes and loves me, and I am aware that I should reciprocate those feelings, but it just isn't happening to me.

Counselor Beezy, I am writing to seek your guidance on how I can work towards developing some affection for my husband and improving our relationship. I value your insights and any advice you can provide to help me navigate this challenging situation.

Thank you

Forgiving your partner

  How to forgive your partner for their infidelity Introduction If you're in a relationship with someone who has cheated on you, there are many ways to forgive them. You can do it privately or publicly, but the most important thing is that you talk about it. It's also important to remember that forgiveness takes time and effort on both sides of the equation. This doesn't happen overnight! However, once both partners have made amends for their actions (and recognized them as such), then forgiveness becomes easier because there aren't any lingering resentments or underlying bad feelings between them anymore. Only love between two people who took action towards healing themselves after a betrayal occurred.  Stop justifying their behaviour. To forgive your partner, you must stop justifying their behaviour. This means that you need to stop making excuses for them and blaming yourself or your relationship for their actions. Here are some examples of what not to do: Don't ...

Alchemy of Life: Transforming Negativity into Positive Energy

"He who has the power to turn all negative vibes in his path into positive energy has learned the meaning of life." The statement's wisdom highlights the significant shift when someone can change negative energy into a good force. Let's investigate this viewpoint and see how it fits in with the theories of scholars who have studied the nuances of personal empowerment and the meaning of life. Turning Negativity into Positivity "When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves." - Viktor Frankl. Transforming negativity is in line with the existential philosophy of Viktor Frankl. His focus on overcoming obstacles and deriving purpose from misfortune aligns with the notion that, in the face of negativity, one may modify one's inner reaction and transform one's life's course. The Art of Transformation "When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be." - Lao Tzu. The transformational force that co...

After having three children with me out of wedlock, He is getting married to another woman.

Dear Counselor Beezy, I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out to you with a heavy heart, seeking your guidance and support to help me navigate a deeply painful and confusing chapter in my life. My story begins with a romantic relationship that I entered into with a businessman. We met through his friend, who happened to be engaged to my madam, a seamstress I was apprenticing with at the time. We all came from the same district in the Upper West Region of Ghana, which initially created a sense of familiarity and connection. Our relationship developed swiftly, and within two months, I found myself pregnant. He agreed to take responsibility for our child, and I moved in with him despite his uncompleted three-bedroom apartment. We managed together until I went into labour. We had discussed the idea of formally approaching my family for marriage, and he had agreed that we would have our traditional wedding during our child's naming ceremony. However, when the time came, th...
