How Do I Inform My Mother About My Relationship? by Cadburyy: 1:47pm On Jan 09, 2021
There's something that has been bothering me for a while.

I'm domiciled in a foreign country but I maintain a sound relationship with my parents at home . I keep them updated on everything that happens in my life and even that of their granddaughter. That's how great my relationship remains with my mother.

I work hard to support my home but my baby father does not bring enough to the table like I do even though he earns a little higher than I earn. He spends on alcohol , drugs and women. When I complain about his bad behavior, he leaves home and says I nag a lot. When he returns after days away from home, he tells me I forced myself on him and he didn't really want us to be together.

There's this very handsome medical doctor working at the hospital where I am employed. He started confessing his love for me late last year. He's taller, more handsome and way richer than my current partner (my baby daddy) but the only thing is that he's a Muslim.

He told me he's a traditional Muslim and wouldn't compel me to become one. He also assures me he will not even have a relationship with another woman, that is, polygamy is totally ruled out. I have dedicated my time to learn about Muslims recently and I think I've made up my mind to give him the chance to love me the way he wants. My daughter relates well with her "soon to be step-dad".

The problem here is not even my baby father since I can discard him whenever I want. The problem is my mother who is a devout christian from the South East. She will feel bad if I tell her about my relationship with the handsome Muslim doctor.

Do I accept the Doctor's proposal without informing my mother. If you think I should inform her, how do I tell my mother without making her panic?

Don't change religion because of anyone, if you must do it, then let it be based on your own accord.

True love knows no religion or color, if the doctor truly loves you he should let you follow your heart and when you're convinced about the faith you wish to follow, he should support you.

I don't do conditional affairs!

Do we sell our salvation for earthly things? undecided undecided

Well since he's civilized, he might allow you to practice your religion in as much you both stay in a state where freedom of religion is guaranteed.

You strongly knows she woñt agree, that's how our mothers do think. I would advise you pray before taking any decisions. Just find a way to tell mum, she might be angry but with time she would understand. Remember this is your second marriage !!

From the look of things your decadence might lead you astray. his money have already enticed you. I see you accepting his request soon !!

I keep telling young men that "no woman on earth loves you apart from your mother".

That's enough wisdom to help you grow in life.

The Nigerian American above would not be leaving her baby daddy because he's all the things she said- a deadbeat Father.

If she was leaving her baby daddy because he was a drunk , gambler or womanizer, then she wouldn't have carried his daughter for 9 months.


Those addictions are not just developed in few months. In fact, spending a week under the roof of a person addicted to any of those is enough to know whether to have a baby for that person or not.

You had a baby for a man because you thought the man would " bring all his earnings to the table " so that you can control it.

When the man did not turn out to be a simp as you anticipated, you started calling him names and cheating emotionally with another man.

Do your baby daddy the favor of leaving him alone , maybe he will find a good woman. I only pity the rich handsome doctor who will have to deal with a single mother's troubles and that of a leech packaged in one body.

If you believe in God, pray every morning and night that you don't give birth to daughters like Cadburyy who will disgrace you because of money.

Please end your relationship with the baby daddy first before you start a new one. I am a fan of clean endings and brand new beginnings. Then inform your parents. They will learn to live with your decision if they see you happy. Give them time.

I noticed you mentioned his incredible good looks up to three times in one paragraph or so. Are you sure you are not swayed by his outward appearance? Sometimes the grass is not always greener on the other side.

Changing my religion is not even an option. If anyone would change religion it would be him. He's very liberal and does not associate with the Muslim community. Let's say he's a cute human being born to Muslim parents who gave him a Muslim name. I monitored him yesterday and he didn't leave office for the Mosque. He doesn't also pray five times a day. That's why I said he's a traditional Muslim.
Thanks for your advice, I wouldn't leave Christianity because of a man.

gaius01, I wasn't legally married to my child's father that's why I called him a baby dady. It just happened.

Ethicallyright, be polite with your response to people who seek solutions in tough times. Your sister can find herself in my shoes...

I can't tell you exactly what to do.Just let your heart head lead you.

One thing I can say about you is the thing that took you to a guy who is a drunk,drug addict and womaniser till you made a baby with him is the same thing drawing you to this man.

You don't have depth and seem swindled with ephemeral things.
