Dear Pastor,
I must commend you on the good work and great advice that you have being giving. I hope you will be able to help me with my situation. I am a 25-year-old young lady in a long-distance relationship with a man who is twice my age. I have been with him for almost one year now. I was involved with a gentleman who is now my ex when he came into the picture. Things happened which I am not proud of so I ended the relationship with my ex and moved out.
After meeting him I decided to live on my own. He has been supporting me ever since. When we just started he told me everything, except the fact that he was married. I found out about it and now I am very confused. I don't know what to do. I know it's wrong if I continue this relationship but if I discontinue it, how am I going to finance myself? He was a part of the reason why I ended my previous relationship. He also wants me to have a child for him but, at this point, I don't know what to do. Please give me your advice on what to do.
J.H., St James
Dear J.H.,
Your hand is in the lion's mouth; therefore you would have to carefully draw it out. This new boyfriend did not speak the truth and that is mighty unfortunate. How can you ever trust him? Very soon, you may hear from his wife. She wouldn't know that you were ignorant of his status, so she is going to blame you for getting involved with her man.
You should tell him how you feel and make plans to leave him. It may not be easy but you will have to definitely move on.
Pastor
