My sugar daddy is leaving me

-

Dear Pastor, I am 21 and I just need your advice. I have been in love with a man since I was 17. He is the same age as my father.

One day he bought me an expensive cell phone and my mother asked me where I got the money; I told her it was from a friend.

She asked me why I was taking gifts from a man, and for the first time I talked back rough to my mother.

I told her my father wasn’t giving me any money to go to school and she did not have enough money to give me, “so is man I have to talk to, to get money to go to school”.

My mother got up and was coming to slap me and I held on to her, hands. We started to struggle, and my brother came to part us.

My mother started to cry and I hugged her and told her that I was sorry I had to tell her the truth that way. She said to me, “Try not to let him get you pregnant”.

I told him what happened between my mother and myself.

My mother works in a certain market and he went to the market and saw her, but she didn’t know who he was.

He went there three Saturdays straight and bought ground provisions and vegetables from her.

When I was 18, I told my mother that I would like to introduce my boyfriend to her. When she saw him, she was shocked.

Pastor, my biggest problem now is that I don’t know what to do because this man is planning to leave Jamaica to join his wife, who is living in the United States.

When we first met, he told me that he was married, but he wasn’t sure how the relationsh­ip with his wife and himself was going because she was not living here.

He did not tell me that she filed for him. They have a nice home together and they have two children. I

You shouldn’t have spoken to your mother in a rough or disrespect­ful manner. Even if she had said something to you that you did not like, you should have shown more respect to her. She was wrong for trying to slap or beat you, or whatever.

As I understand your letter, this man did not hide his marital status when he met you. I believe he knew that his wife was filing for him. I believe he felt that if he had told you the truth, you might not have wanted to have an intimate relationsh­ip with him.

You haven’t said whether or not you are am crying every day because I don’t want to lose this man.

I don’t want to tell my mother that he is planning to leave. I can’t live without him. I have never cheated on him. I am begging you to help me. D.O. employed. What you have made clear is that this man has supported you well and you are worried now that he is planning to leave Jamaica.

I say to you, take heart. It may take you a long time to get over him, but you will.

Wish this man well. Do not do anything to destroy the relationsh­ip that he has with his wife.

If you are not working, try your best to get yourself a job. And please, do not be in a hurry to get involved with another man. Give your heart time to heal and to get over this man. I wish you well.

Pastor
