Broken Pen Stories

Our kids are in a good school but the fees are too much and I wanted to move them somewhere cheaper but my wife isn’t in support because her brother’s children attend the same school and she doesn’t want them to feel we’re broke. We have two kids and both their fees every time in addition to food and transportation costs us about Ghc 24,000 or even more. I am the only one working,she came on maternity leave and hasn’t been able to go back to work cuz they fired her. I earn Ghc 4,800 take home salary. I do other things aside but that brings me barely Ghc 1,500. So in total, I earn about 6k a month. So it takes about my four months salary to settle school fees and other requirements. The kids fall sick, we buy water, electricity, drugs, food, etc etc - that’s all on me. All out of this same 6k salary. There are good schools with moderate fees around 1,000 - 1,500 these kids can attend. Some are even nearer. If we changed their school, we could save a lot and the burden on me will reduce because I’m stressing. I can’t sleep, every penny goes there and so I’m always in debt. My wife won’t buy it. I’ve said all I can but she won’t. In fact, she left the house to her sister’s for almost a month because of this conversation, she got so angry. These are our kids, I love them equally and want the best for them but why must it be above us? Even the kids are struggling because sometimes money to buy prepaid I don’t have and we sleep in heat. At this point, I’m stranded. School is about to resume and I’m not happy cuz I haven’t even saved much. I’ll be happy to change their schools this year, but this woman. I’m frustrated so I’m sharing here. Maybe someone can say something that I can work with. Thank you

Please keep me anonymous. I’ve been with my now ex boyfriend for the past 2 years but it has been on and off. He broke my virginity and he didn’t tell me a lot about his past relationships when we started dating which I didn’t care. Through the years he finally opened up to me that he had two abortions with his ex girlfriend which was surprising because I never expected it. I became scared and thought that he was definitely going to let me also abort if I get pregnant but I never said anything to him. Somewhere in November I lied to him that I was pregnant and I was not going to abort the child, he became paranoid so I had to tell him the truth that I lied and just wanted to know what he was going to do about it. He got angry which was understandable and then we had a conversation later which he told me that if it was true that I was pregnant he would have convinced me to abort the child because he wasn’t ready to become a father, I was disappointed but I had nothing to say at that point. Here lies the case that I thought about the whole relationship and realized that I couldn’t continue anymore, so I broke up with him without saying anything to him few days ago by blocking him everywhere only for him to text me with a different number saying all sort of things to make me feel bad even though I accept that I was in the wrong for not telling him before ending the relationship but he also forgot that there was no love in the relationship, the only time we felt connected was during intimacy, we usually talked about problems instead of how we were going to plan our future, we only talked to each other when we felt like so please I wanted to know whether I was in the wrong for ending the relationship.

My marriage hadn’t been good for years. My husband behaved like he was possessed by the demons of adultery and disrespect for marriage. I prayed about it and hoped God would make a way. Seven years and three children later, I’d had enough. I had stayed quiet and prayed for too long, but nothing was changing, so I decided to go to our pastor and tell him everything I’d been through since I got married. He sat across from me while he watched me narrate my story with tears in my eyes. “He sleeps around a lot, my husband. He doesn’t take care of the kids or the home. As I speak, he’s been away for two weeks and hasn’t called unless I call him.” He listened attentively and looked deep into my eyes as if he wanted to enter my soul. He allowed me to cry when I wanted to. He listened while I talked without interruption. When I was done, he asked me to get up. When I did, he spread his arms and asked, “Can I hug you?” I shrugged and walked into his embrace. The hug lasted for so long while he breathed down my neck. He would place one hand on the back of my head and the other on my back and say, “This is how a woman like you ought to be hugged, not maltreated.” Then I felt the rising bulge in his trousers. I thought he would be embarrassed enough to pull away, but he stayed and rubbed it against me. After what seemed like forever, I had to force my way out of his embrace. I buried my face in shame, but he kept talking about how beautiful I was and why a man in his right senses wouldn’t treat me the way my husband did. I walked out of his office, and I haven’t stepped foot in the church again. He didn’t have my number before, but now he does. He calls to ask why he hasn’t seen me in church for so long and asks if my husband has stopped me from coming to church. He’s acting as though what happened only happened in my head. I love the church. It has great teachings and is very popular, with a huge youthful following in Ghana, but this pastor at my branch has made me stop going. Sometimes, I feel I’m overthinking it. It was just his flesh that failed him that day, but his spiritual fortitude may still be intact. Am I overthinking this?

My friend gave me a hint that my girlfriend was cheating with a man living close to his house. I disregarded it because I trusted my girlfriend. When he came again to repeat the accusation, I told him I was looking into it so he should relax. He said, “Looking into what? I can blow the whistle so we catch her.” Eventually he notified me when my girlfriend was there and all night we stood at the entrance waiting for her to come out. I was texting her, asking her where she was. She said she was at her mom’s place and was getting ready to leave. At some point I called and she didn’t answer. That was when my friend decided to go and knock on the door and see what was happening. My heart was breaking. My knees were wobbly. You could see me visibly shaking. We had dated for seven months and everything was perfect between us. She has been the only girlfriend who helped me out financially when I was down and out. No, it wasn’t a loan. She gave me GHC3,000 and told me, “Pay for mom. I know you’ll do it for me when the tables turn.” That aside, she was with me through it all during the difficult times, sometimes even giving me something to give to my mom when I went to see her at the hospital. My friend knocked and the man came out. I was standing afar watching. I didn’t have the strength to go close. The man had a towel around his waist. My friend told him he was looking for Belinda and the man said he didn’t know anyone by that name. We stood in the dark corner watching until late in the night when my girlfriend came out. It was embarrassing but I treated her with respect. We got a taxi and sat in silently and left. I asked why and all she did was say sorry and cry. By the time I realized it, all our paddies knew about the incident and were calling me to tell me what I should do to my girlfriend. “Shun her! She be devil waaa. A woman like this will block your success with her bad luck.” I called my friend and said, “I thought it was just between you and me. Why is everyone talking about it now?” He burst out laughing and said, “Charley, women like that ought to be put to shame. She’s a whore!” My heart broke. I told him to leave us alone while we sought to find redress. He screamed, “Re… what? You’re still talking to her?” I want to forgive and start a new page with her but now, everyone is aware and it’s hard for me to let this go. Already, they are laughing at me and calling me names for still entertaining her. She faulted, yes but I don’t believe we should cut people off just because they sinned once. But my guys don’t want to hear that. They are all playing the drumbeat of abandonment. Now I don’t know what to do…

I’m in love with my dad’s friend and don’t know how to handle the intensity of this feeling. He’s very cute for his age and I like the way he treats me whenever I’m close to him. He tries to make me feel comfortable. He would get me gifts and tell me how beautifully I’ve grown. I know he means no harm but I’ve grown to like him in a very intense way. I called him one time to ask how he was doing and told him I was calling because I hadn’t seen him around in a long while. We talked for several minutes and it was great. I thought he would call me sometime but he hasn’t. I don’t want to force things to happen but the more I think of him, the more I get the desire to get close and see what may happen. Yes, he’s married and has kids my age. It’s also one of the reasons I’m not able to go all out. I’ve tried to forget about him and look for someone my age but that isn’t helping much. I’ve prayed too because I’m a Christian. I’ve asked God to take this cup away from me but I wake up and see the cup next to me filled with my favorite drink. I’m twenty-two. I’m young but not too young. What do I do to forget about this feeling and let him go out of my mind? Or is it only when I do it and regret it that I will forget and move on?

My husband’s girlfriend has four children and got divorced only a year ago. I suspect she was dating my husband even when she was married. She is bigger than I am and has a hanging tummy. She’s two years older than my husband, judging from the age she stated when celebrating her 40th birthday. I’m not trying to body-shame her but trying to make a point. We have two kids and I remember after our first child, I gained a little bit of weight. My husband was always on me, reminding me of how big I’d become and the need to lose the weight and also make my tummy return to normal. I nearly decided not to have another child but the second one came and I didn’t gain much weight. My tummy was his problem and I remember one day he shouted at me to cover it because I was outside. After seeing this lady he was dating, I looked to the heavens and shook my head. “He can date someone this size and was on me about the little weight I gained.” The day I laid down my investigative work, he was shocked at how I could find out so much within such a short time. I asked him, “I know what she has that I don’t have but were you not the same person who embarrassed me every day for having these same features this woman has?” He said he was sorry and didn’t know what the woman used to blind him into falling for her. No accountability whatsoever. I’ve been living in one of my parents’ houses now, trying to clear my mind and see what next to do. I call it separation. He hates it because to him, we are still together. I’m asking, if a man tells you he wants A, how would you know he truly wants A and not B that he actually wants? If I go back to him, how would I trust his choices, his likes, and the things he doesn’t like? He would tell me he likes white and I would be thinking, “Is it not black he’s talking about?” How do you make a man content with what you give him?

I woke up at dawn to go to the washroom when I saw my mother-in-law in the corridor using my towel to clean in between her thighs. I was standing in my room looking at her while she vigorously used my towel to clean herself up. She didn’t look like someone who had bathed. She was standing there naked while doing that. She then hung my towel nicely there and went back to her room. She’s been here for over a week on a visit. I don’t know what that means and I don’t know why she chose my towel when my wife’s towel was just next to mine. I don’t have any trouble with her. We talk and vibe as if she were my mother. I give her money when she visits and when she’s leaving so I can’t think of a reason that would make her do that. So I told myself, “Maybe she needed a towel after using the washroom and coincidentally picked mine.” No matter how easy I want to take it, something in me tells me it’s not right and it’s not for nothing that she would do that. I haven’t told my wife. I haven’t touched the towel again. I’m asking, what does it mean when your mother-in-law does that to you? Is it malice? Is it because she’s free with me that’s why she found it easy to use my towel to clean herself underneath? My mind is taking me to scary places. I need someone to assure me it’s for nothing. Or is it for something? #silentbeads

My name is Kobby. I’m a Ewe guy and I’ve been with my girlfriend, Eunice Abena Dua for five years. Five years isn’t small. Five years of loving someone with a clean heart. Five years of sacrifices. Five years of believing you’re building a future with somebody. When I met her, life wasn’t easy for her. She had just gained admission to school. I stood by her through school. Paid fees countless times. Paid her hostel fees and later her rent when she moved out. Bought her learning materials, provisions, clothes and even helped her younger brother once when he needed money for school. There were months I spent my entire salary on her and survived on almost nothing myself. People around me kept saying I was overdoing things but I didn’t care because I loved her genuinely. I believed she was my wife already. Anytime she cried, it hurt me too. Anytime she needed something, I found a way. I stopped focusing on myself completely. Right now, I’m honestly not anywhere in life because everything I worked for went into taking care of her and supporting the future I thought we both wanted. The painful part is that marriage was always part of our conversations. We planned it together. We spoke about our future children, where we’d stay and the kind of life we wanted. So recently, I told her I was ready for us to go and see her parents officially. That day changed my life. She became quiet and later told me her parents would never accept me because I’m Ewe. She said they warned her long ago not to marry an Ewe man. I didn’t even know what to say. I just sat there confused. Because if this was the problem all along, why stay with me for five years? Why let me pour my whole life into you? Why allow me to dream? Since that conversation, she has changed completely. She ignores my calls. Replies late. Sometimes she won’t reply at all. When I ask what’s wrong, she tells me there’s no point forcing things because we can’t be together. Honestly, I’m broken. I wake up every morning feeling empty. I can’t even hate her because I love her too much. That’s what makes the pain worse. I keep remembering all the moments we shared and wondering if any of it was real to her the way it was real to me. Right now, I don’t even know what to do with myself anymore.

Please keep me anonymous. Ei should I say fear women because wow you women are scary 😕😢. I am an NSS personnel working for one big man in the country, but because of the rapport I have built with him, he trusts me so he confides in me, and I even drive him around which comes with extra cash. I get to meet all the other big men and I am gradually saving up and learning a thing or two. Just today, my boss called me around 9am that he is meeting some people so I should come and drive him there. At that time I was with my girlfriend, so I told her my boss had called me and I had to go. She even made me go like two rounds before I left. She was saying I should tell my boss that I am not around so I can spend time with her, but I assured her I would be back on time. I went to his house at Airport Residential and I drove him to the places he wanted to go until about 4pm when he said we should stop at a restaurant because he was going to have dinner with his “babe” 😂😂😂. Someone who is married and has kids ah well. I just kept quiet. About an hour later, he told me his babe was in front of the restaurant so I should go and pick her up 😂💔💀. Herrrh, it felt like a dream. I saw my girlfriend there waiting for me to pick her up to see my boss wow. She pretended she did not know me and I also did the same quietly. Before that, this girl told me she would be home waiting for me, so I made up my mind that I would make my boss order food for me so I would go home and we would eat. I sat there quietly watching my boss peck my girlfriend, touch her thighs and all. Ei my heart 😔😢. He gave her like 3k before she left and I dropped him off and came home. I got home and I saw her crying. She just disgusts me now. As I am talking, I am telling her to go and find a place and rent because I cannot stay with her again. Women oh daabi 😕😢 #anonymous

Please keep me anonymous. I was having a crush on him but didn’t know how to act around him. So instead of being friendly or smiling at him, I decided to coil into myself whenever he was around. I was looking forward to the day he would approach me or even say hi to me, but it never happened. Then I heard he was getting married. I was devastated. I didn’t know you could have heartbreak over someone you never dated. I stayed up all night thinking about what would have happened if I were the one he was getting married to. After his wedding, I sent him a message congratulating him and he replied immediately, telling me he didn’t know I had his number. I also told him I didn’t know he had my number because we never spoke. We talked that day for a while and when he returned to work, he started talking freely with me. These days he gives me a ride when we close from work. When he’s ready and I’m not, he waits for me and sometimes drives me right to my gate. Because of this proximity I have with him these days, I don’t know how to heal from the crush. Yes, he’s married but my heart still wants him so badly, and it hurts. When he stops and we sit for a while in his car, I see desire in his eyes, like he wants to make a move on me but isn’t sure about my reaction, so he stops. I also don’t want to be the one to initiate it and I even want a way to stop it, but he drives me home, something that benefits me a lot. I want to tell him how I truly feel about him and also tell him that because of that, I can’t continue allowing him to drive me home or letting us be this close to each other. I want to allow myself to be vulnerable with him to see if that will bring us to a place where all this will end. I’m asking if that is a good idea because I don’t want it to backfire on me. If it does, I will be the miserable one here because he’s married. Please tell me what to do?

In that time she was about giving me a chance, I had an encounter with a beautiful girl in my tertiary institution,so she had been in relationships which didn’t worked for her buh I shown her love and I now live with her happily ,cuz all of them comes from a rich family and they don’t stress me.Now as I contacted my Bezz about me having a girlfriend,she talk am say,what about her? I was like “why,how?so you love me and you didn’t tell me” This my Bezz had been with me for 4 and half yrs too. Right now I don’t know who to choose,both my Bezz and my distance girl, I haven’t seen them face to face b4 except the one am living with. Please who should I choose guys,any suggestions.I’ll be in the comment section

He’s thirty-eight years old. When he came around me, the first question I asked was, “Why are you not married at your age?” He said he hadn’t met the right person and that everyone he dated cheated on him. He enumerated five different relationships that didn’t go well, and all these women left him within a year. “Are you a bad person or a good person but a bad boyfriend?” I asked. He answered, “I would leave that for you to judge when we finally start dating.” I told him to give me some time to think about it until yesterday, during our conversation, he mentioned that his last ex-girlfriend was twenty years old. I was like, “You dated a girl who was twenty years old and she ended up leaving you?” He said, “That’s all they do.” That’s not the only thing. All the women he has dated were between twenty and twenty-four. Some of them, he dated when they were as young as nineteen years old. I am thirty-one, and I’m asking him why me, and he said, “I now want to taste maturity and see how it will go.” First of all, I want to meet his last ex-girlfriend and ask why it didn’t work out. I feel like he’s lying about something. What is he doing that even women as young as twenty are leaving him? That aside, I feel like he’s going to use me to run a test to see if women in their thirties are worth it. He will run back to the young ones once they become available. These are the reasons why I don’t want to give him a chance, at least for now. Do I have a case? Cc: Silent Beads

I saw one of those skitters video where a girl was asked to call and tell her parents “ I Love You” She called her Mom first and the Mother instantly replied I love you too with a reaffirmed affection. Then she called the Father, they greeted and the moment she said “ I Love You “ the father paused. She was like “ Daddy? Daddy? Did you hear me? The man said “ Are you alright? What’s wrong? She said I’m fine, Daddy, I just wanted to tell you I love you. The father insisted, “ Are you sure? - You could hear from his voice that he’s already panicking. He feared his daughter was in trouble. He asked where she was so he could come get her immediately. It took the skit-maker to convince the father that his daughter is safe and sound. The girl’s mood soured, You could tell she only just realized how much she’d neglected her father. Because while “ I Love You “ excited Mom, It scared her Dad because he wasn’t used to hearing it. She almost gave the old man a heart attack. Because, even though he provides all of her needs, hearing his daughter say “ I Love You “ was new to him. It scared him. 😐

So I met this lady recently and we've been talking lately all of a sudden she began to show some red flags. Recently she has been saying she loves men who invest in their ladies bla bla bla and she would never give a man who isn't stable financially a chance. I'm not broke though, but ladies with this kind of mindset is a red flag to me automatically. How do you mean invest in you ? Are you Bitcoin, are you stocks? Smh. Girls of today Me de3 I cut am off straight Not that I'm stingy or anything but then this thing disgust me If a girl will say this thing aa then she her self no get shishi And this is the mindset of almost 90% of ladies today. The investment but no really bore me pass the other statement. If this is how things are going deaa then we men should also fa yɛn o adwen oo Don't give a broke woman chance because they wouldn't give you one if you were to be the broke one Stay safe y'all

I am a lady who is married for the past 5 years. My husband has travelled for a 2 year course and is due back in 6 months. My challenge however is that; even though our communication and everything is intact, I am starved of touches from him. I do get touched by 3 different guys. I get relieved and this helps me a lot not to have s£x behind my husband. I resisted s£x from the 3 guys and was able to limit them to what they do for me. Can this be termed cheating?

Anonymous I don't understand some guys. So if a girl cheat.. instead of leaving her, you won't but you'll use her for sex till you're tired and dump her? I see a lot of boys in comment sections promoting that act. Cool. No problem What if you cheat and your gf doesn't leave you but drains your pocket till she gets tired and leave? It's fair right? And before any of you say both of you enjoy the sex.. who does it affect the most in the end? In terms of body count discussions and also pregnancy and abortions?
