My girlfriend is a midwife currently doing her national service at one of the hospitals in the Ashanti Region.

There is this doctor at the hospital who has built quite a reputation for himself, and not a good one. He sleeps with almost every woman who catches his attention. Nurses, midwives, interns, it does not seem to matter. If she wears a skirt and a scarf, he sees her as his next target. He is a serial womaniser.

He has even asked my girlfriend out, which is not surprising. Unfortunately, men like him do not take rejection well. Instead of accepting her answer, he seems to think she is playing hard to get, so he has only become more persistent.

One afternoon, I was with her, holding her phone, when his call came through. Calmly and respectfully, I told him, man to man, to stay away from her. I even reminded him that she was there to help bring babies into the world, not to entertain his advances.

He laughed and said, “But, boss, God did not create her for you alone. You don’t share? Besides, she isn’t your wife yet.”

Maybe she is not my wife on paper, but in my heart she already is. Before this year ends, I intend to ask her to marry me. Hearing another man speak about her that way did not sit well with me at all, and the way he spoke, it was almost as though he saw women as trophies to be won instead of human beings deserving of respect. It felt like he had made it his mission to chase my woman until she finally gave in.

I trust my girlfriend completely. I know she is capable of putting him in his place, and she has already made it clear that she is not interested. My concern is that he keeps refusing to respect her boundaries.

I Called My Girlfriend And Another Man Answered The Phone

I want to go to the hospital and speak to him face to face, not to cause a scene, but to make it clear that he needs to stop harassing her and respect her decision. She should be able to do her job in peace without constantly looking over her shoulder because a colleague refuses to take no for an answer. Maybe he does not know this, but it is not every meat a person should chew, and definitely not mine.

Am I overreacting because I love this woman, or would any man in my position feel the same way?
