A listener recently shared that he has been in a relationship with his girlfriend for a few years and cares deeply for her. Unfortunately, his family disapproves of her because she comes from a less privileged background. He is fed up with his family disrespecting his partner and is considering ending the relationship to protect her from their judgment. Seeking advice from The Best T in the City with Tbose, Anonymous wants to know if there are any blind spots he could be missing.
“Uncle T, I have been in a relationship with this woman for a couple of years now. All has been going well; however, my family doesn’t like her, or, should I say, they look down on her. She comes from a poor background and had a different upbringing from mine.
“I want to marry her, but I fear she will never be accepted by my family. Yes, I know my family’s opinion should not matter, but we are close, and I know I will not be able to distance myself and live in my own little bubble.
“Would I be wrong or even shallow to let my girlfriend go? I can just see how hard it is for her when she is around my family. What could be my blind spot?”
Mel on X pointed out that Anonymous does not love his girlfriend enough. She mentioned that if he truly cared for her, he would have stood up for her and defended her.
Mpho Molefe on X disagrees with the idea that the issue lies with his girlfriend’s background. “It has to do with you and how you behave around them when she is with you; if wena wa moswabela, then your family uses that to their advantage, and from the sounds of it, their mission is accomplished thanks to you,” read the post in part.
