My boyfriend’s father died mysteriously. I was with him when they called to tell him. The one who called was loud and crying, but my boyfriend didn’t say a word. He cut the call, got up, and said we should leave. I didn’t see him or hear from him again until seven days later, when he appeared and told me he had visited their hometown to mourn with the family.

A week or so later, he had a call, and it was on loudspeaker. The caller, a woman, shouted on the phone, “So, Kwabena, you won’t come home to see what’s going on after your father’s death? Are you not part of the children?” He told the woman he didn’t have money to travel to their hometown.
After the call, I asked him, “Weren’t you the one who told me you went home? Which home did you go to?” He answered, “I can’t tell you everything that goes on in my family. Just keep quiet.”
His father was buried almost a year ago, and he’s currently walking around with unexplainable wealth. At first, he said he inherited the wealth from his father. But when he kept buying cars, lands, and buildings, I asked him, “Your dad had all this wealth and didn’t use it on himself?” He warned me that if I didn’t stop asking silly questions, he would throw me out of the relationship. I wish he would.
He’s only twenty-seven years old, with no meaningful professional background or business history. The whole thing is looking fishy, so I’m withdrawing from him. He bought me a new iPhone and Apple Watch. They are here; I haven’t opened them. I’m scared.
What Will Make You Leave Me After Forty Years Of Marriage?
I also don’t want to upset him because I don’t know what he can do to me. Everyone in town is asking questions about his wealth, but he’s the only one who has answers. Can he hurt me spiritually if I break up with him? I know where this is going, and I don’t want to be dragged along.

Follow your instincts and take a walk, infact RUN!!
First know that he will threaten you when you decide to move, but don’t be afraid. Just pursue your goal of leaving because there’s nothing that binds you to him. Unless, there is and you are not telling us.
A curse without a cause will not stand (Proverbs 26:2)
Please create an excuse and break up with him. From your story, the whole thing is indeed fishy and you’re not safe.
Dear Doris,
I will not claim to be a spiritual guru, but being Christian (by your name) teaches that all power resides in the Creator. We don’t know the dynamics of your relationship, so that ‘judgement call’ resides squarely in your bosom.
The solution—begin the Christian spiritual journey you need to undertake with all the help you will require from a Bible-believing community (don’t fall prey to charlatanic “people of God”; you are God’s child too).
Be it proceeds from cybercrime or what your instincts whisper to you, it does not look like this is truly genuine wealth.
As others have intimated, and you yourself have purposed in your heart, kindly find your exit plan and execute it ASAP. If it is genuine wealth (which majority of us will presume that it isn’t), it will still not hurt as much to move on.
Trust God to save you on this one too. Shield up for the battle ahead. You’ll survive.
