Should I Continue To Wait For Him?

Dear Nana Ama,
I am a 20-year-old lady who completed SHS two years ago. My friend works in Accra, while I am in Cape Coast. We love each other very dearly.

Recently, he wrote to me asking that we break up the relationship. I wrote back to him trying to find out what I had done wrong but all he said was that he was sorry he had wasted my time.

I consulted his sister about the issue because I did not know what to do. She advised me to be patient, since her brother would certainly come back to me.

A few months ago, he came to our hometown and told my friends that he hadn’t seen me for some time and that he wanted to settle matters with me. Unfortunately, he did not see me that day and we have since not met.

Nana, all his brothers and sisters like me and come to me often for assistance. I help them as much as I can and they all have told me that their brother will seek reconciliation with me so I should be patient.

Nana, what should I do? Should I continue to wait for him?

Ewura Ama,
Whether or not to wait for him depends, to a large extent, on you. If you still love him, as I suspect you still do, then sure, wait for him, especially as he has made his intention of seeking reconciliation known to your friends.

I believe he knows that as long as your friends are told about his intentions, you will be told about them.

Try and exercise patience as his siblings have advised but it will be helpful if you later try to find out what prompted his decision to break up the relationship.

It will help you to avoid a repetition of what went wrong.
