FAMILY TRADITION Hi, RAO,myy name is Kelvin(not real name), and am in a state of dilemma. Im thirty-eight years(…..oh yesss, I kno am old………..) and still very much single. I broke up a relationship with a girl I love so much just last week based on the fact that my family wouldn’t accept any marriage with “her kind”. Im from akwa-ibom, while she is from imo state. For the past nine months, I ve loved and accepted her as my own. She comes from a deeply rooted Christian family, and that is what I ve always desired of my woman.. on the other hand, my family are the strong traditionalist, though they are Christians, yet we honor the culture and tradition that binds us as a traditional body. Now,my family wont accept heer simply because they don’t like the igbos or their tradition. I ve tried to convince them that what matters is that she is from aa good home, and also a Christian. At a point,they seem to have conscented, however, it was glaring from their attitude toward her that they don’t accept her and thus she is in for a big fight. Because of the dept of my love, I had to let her go. Although, she cried her eyes out saying saying we can make it through together, I hesitatingly refused because I know my family, they couldbe fetish sometimes. Am trying to avoid a situation where she would be vulnerable especially when am not there to protect. Now shecalls me and cries her eyes out saying that she cant afford to let go. I feel so guilty now, pls can someone help me, what should I do?
