Should I curse or Juju her?


Hi Counselor,

My story began when I was posted as a fresh teacher in a village in the Bono East District. I met a brilliant but needy student who, due to financial constraints, had struggled with consistency in her education. At the age of 16, she approached me as her class teacher one day, expressing her intention to leave school because her parents couldn't afford the BECE registration fee. I couldn't bear to see such a young and eager learner give up her education, so I decided to pay for her registration, enabling her to graduate from basic school with an exceptional aggregate of 8.


As she continued her education, I supported her financially through high school, and our bond grew stronger, eventually leading to a romantic relationship. Her parents endorsed our relationship because they recognized the pivotal role I played in her educational success.


Fast forward to her admission to the University of Energy, I continued to provide financial support for her tuition and living expenses. However, during her fourth year, our communication began to change dramatically. She claimed to be overwhelmed with assignments, study groups, and project work, leaving little time for us to connect.


The shocking revelation came when I stumbled upon a chat on her phone with another man. In this conversation, they discussed how she was pretending to love me until she graduated, as they believed I was too old for her. This revelation left me heartbroken and confused. While I was hurt and disappointed, I couldn't bring myself to confront her about the chat.


On her graduation day, I had planned to propose marriage to her in front of her family. However, when the moment came, she declined, stating that she needed more time to mentally prepare for marriage. Her parents were equally surprised and disappointed by her response, as they were aware of the sacrifices I had made for her.


A month after graduation, I visited her family to discuss the marriage proposal, but she rejected me, stating that I was too old for her. Her parents' reactions seemed strangely unsurprised, almost as if they had anticipated her answer.


Since that day, she has refused to answer my calls or meet with me. I feel lost and don't know how to proceed. Some friends and family have advised me to seek revenge, while others have suggested more extreme actions. However, I am hesitant to resort to negativity.


Counselor, I am reaching out to you for guidance on how to manage this situation, heal, and move forward. I want to make wise decisions and avoid actions that I might regret later in life.


Thank you for taking the time to read my message and for any advice you can provide.

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...
