I broke up with my ex-boyfriend two years ago. We dated for two years and started dating my current boyfriend two years ago. My ex-boyfriend is a nice and caring guy. He is a giver. He introduced me to his family and siblings, but we broke up due to some toxic behavior I noticed and couldn’t tolerate. At that time, he was preparing to leave the country, and I used that as an opportunity to break up with him because if he was in Nigeria, it would be extremely difficult for him to let go. I met my current partner, and he made me see love differently. He cares for me, provides, and teaches me to become better. Though we have had cheating issues whenever I go through his phone, above all, he is a giver and has a great sense of responsibility. I am in the toughest phase of my life right now because all of a sudden, my ex keeps coming back and has won the heart of my family, including my parents and siblings.
My ex is from the same tribe as me (Edo), while my current boyfriend is from Cross River. Sincerely, both of them love me. My parents like my ex more and have gone to consult a prophet and spiritualist on which is better for me in the long run. They all claim the one from Edo is best for me and would favor me because he has plans to take me out of the country when he is back. My ex claims he has changed, and I have noticed some changes in his behavior to a certain extent. But I still love my boyfriend, and it breaks my heart that my family does not want him. He isn’t close to anyone in my family except my mum; he calls her sometimes. My ex relates well with them more, even with my siblings too. I have tried everything possible to change their mind. I am emotionally down and feel so bad for my boyfriend. All through my four years in school, he provided for me financially.
He is a good man, but my parents claim they are doing all this for my best interest and they won’t want to see me make any mistake that would affect me in the future. I have even fought with my parents about this issue. I can’t fight with my mum again; I am tired of trying to prove a point to them. Guys, I am stuck with my boyfriend. It’s really difficult transferring emotions to someone else. I don’t know what to do in this situation. I have prayed about this several times yet nothing seems to change. I am not ready to get married at the moment, yet they want me to be with my ex and build a future with him. I am in my early 20s.
