I have a boyfriend. His name is Mintah. He is not rich. He makes just enough to get by. This, however, does not stop him from going out of his way to invest monetary resources into the relationship. Looking at his financial status, I can beat my chest and say he does more than enough for me.

I am aware that just because we are in a relationship doesn’t mean I am his responsibility. He knows this too. But he chooses to make me his responsibility. This man takes very good care of me. The way I even look is a testament to his generosity and kindness.

Two weeks ago, I got sick. At first, I thought it was stress so I tried to sleep it off. I slept and woke up feeling worse. I tried some home remedies for my symptoms but nothing worked. In the end, we agreed I should go to the hospital and have a doctor check me.

At the hospital, I was asked to run some lab tests. When I finished and was leaving, I took the lab technician’s number. I had some health questions to ask him, and it didn’t seem like there was enough time to get all of them answered there.

A week after I got the information I was looking for from him, he started calling me to check up on me. I had told him I was still unwell. So he made it his mission to make sure I was alright.

Every time he called, we had a lengthy conversation about different topics. It started with health-related issues. I am curious about a lot of things and he has enough hands-on practical experience to give me the knowledge I was looking for.

It was all harmless and innocent at first. I would ask him questions and he would answer them. Now our conversations have transcended to other aspects of our lives.

I am beginning to feel things for him. I am unsure if they are romantic feelings or just something brewing as a result of our constant communication. I have told him I have a boyfriend but he claims he has feelings for me.

As I type this story, Mintah has found out about this new guy. He knows there’s something blossoming between us. “Whatever it is, nip it in the bud before it becomes a complication. Delete the lab technician’s number and avoid him at all costs,” he cautioned.

What he is saying is reasonable. I understand that it’s best I cut off the guy before I ruin things with the man I love. However, the kind of connection I feel with the new guy is otherworldly. I have never felt this way with anyone. It’s only been a week but I feel I can’t remove him from my life.

Everything in my entire being is telling me I have met my soul mate. I don’t know if this feeling is real. How possible is it to feel this strongly for someone I only met two weeks ago? Is that how soulmates work? Do they even exist? My feelings are so confusing. I have never been in this situation before.
