- A young man is dating a woman who is a single mother (“born one”).
- The girlfriend asked him if his parents were aware of her status.
- He had already introduced her to his family and is preparing to meet her family soon.
- He is conflicted about whether to tell his parents before things get more serious.
- Social media reactions highlighted mixed views: some advised honesty and early disclosure, while others warned of possible parental disapproval.
A young Ghanaian man has been left in a dilemma after his girlfriend questioned whether his parents knew she was a single mother.
The couple’s relationship appears to be moving forward steadily, as he introduced her to his family last month and is scheduled to meet her family next month. However, the revelation of her background has created uncertainty about how his parents might react if they are kept in the dark.
For the man, his girlfriend embodies all the qualities he desires in a partner, but the issue of transparency has become a pressing concern. While he is happy with her, he now faces the decision of whether to disclose her status as a mother of one before the relationship advances further.
The situation has ignited debate online, with some people encouraging him to be upfront with his parents to avoid complications later, while others cautioned that parental acceptance could be difficult given cultural attitudes toward marrying someone with a child.
