I have two men who will go to the ends of the earth to make sure I don’t lack anything. They provide for whatever I need, all I have to do is ask. One of the men is my baby daddy. We have three wonderful children together. The other man is my boyfriend. He treats me like he has never seen my kind of woman before. I doubt Mark Anthony, whose love for Cleopatra lives through history, was as devoted to her as Sly is devoted to me. I say this because he knows he is not the only man…

My Girlfriend Wets The Bed When She Sleeps But That’s Half Of The Problem At the beginning of the relationship, she would visit me and leave when it was getting late. The relationship was new. We were both trying to know each other while acting shy along the way. Sometimes I wanted her to sleep over but no matter how late she would leave. I wanted her to sleep over but I lacked the courage to inform her. Five months later, it was still like that. One day I told her, “Why don’t you sleep over? It’s not as if your…
The last time we had a fight, he told me, “When we were dating and you were giving it to me from left and right, did you ever bother to ask if I had bathed or not? We could do it everywhere and not care because you were doing it to convince me to marry you. Now that we are married, you’re here complaining about me not bathing. You women are all the same. Right after marriage, you think you’ve gotten what you want so you can do what you want.” What he said really hurt my ego because that wasn’t…
A man goes on a business trip and forgets his phone at home. His young wife hears it ring but when she answers she is shocked to discover she knows nothing about his past.

Jack was packing for a four-day last-minute business trip to Boston with his wife Charlotte’s help, and he was putting things in his bag…
When Margaret Freeman was 18, she made a decision that would affect the rest of her life: she married sweet, funny Daniel Hernandez whom her wealthy father disapproved of.“You marry that low-life and you’ll get nothing from me Margaret!” her father had screamed. “You’ll see what love really is when you get to live in a one-bedroom rat-hole with roaches crawling up the walls!”But Margaret didn’t listen. She was sure she would never regret loving Daniel. Ever.At first, it was romantic to go home to that tiny apartment (there were no rats and roaches — there was no space). Margaret…

I Overslept in His Room, Then I Heard my Knocking On The Door What Happened Next Was a Surprised Estate agents didn’t like my father and here’s the reason. They would bring a lot of potential tenants to his house and he would reject all of them; “He speaks too fast. He might have a bad temper.” “He is not married. A man his age will bring a lot of women around.” “Look at her long nails, I don’t think she can scrub the tiles very well. Tiles are expensive.” Some time ago, he rejected a man because he was wearing…
I have always had a simple dream for my life when I was growing up. Whenever our class teachers asked, “What do you want to be in future?” I would answer eagerly, “I want to be a nurse.” See? How hard can it be to achieve this dream? All I had to do was study hard and go to nursing school, then I would become a nurse. This was how I envisioned it all to go. I knew that I would need good grades to make it to nursing school. And to get those grades I must avoid all distractions.…
People sit in a bus and pray to God for safety throughout the journey. They sit, do the sign of the cross and whisper a prayer to God to be the driver and carry them through. It makes sense because in Ghana God is our safety. When I sit on a bus, I pray that the person who will sit next to me should be a beautiful woman. I’ve come to believe that I would meet my wife on a bus, hence that prayer. She’ll sit next to me and we’ll have a long conversation until we reach our destination.…
George saw me once and he couldn’t take his eyes off me. I smiled in my head and said to myself, “Go away you sugar-tongue heartbreaker. I don’t need you in my life.” But he was a good-looking guy.

We went out on a date one Saturday night and he introduced me to the kind of world he lived in.…
