One day, I went to church. Lucky for me, the pastor looked me in the eye and did not pass me by. He looked at me and prophesied to me. He said, “The man you are going to marry soon, and the man who will marry you abroad, abrokyere.” It was exciting. It was thrilling to know. So from that time until now, everyone who comes my way who is not from abroad is a big no, instantly. My eyes are on the road for the abroad guy, and I did not want any distractions.

The thing now is this has gone on for years. Saying no every time has become too tiring for my mouth. But it is not only that pastor. My own spiritual father has also prophesied to me that my husband is abroad, and that in due time I will meet him and we will marry. This has gotten to me so much. I meet all calibers of men, the wealthy, the classy, the handsome, just name them, but these prophecies keep coming to mind, so I have no option but to turn them down.

I have been meeting guys who are abroad, but the relationship tends to be long distance, and so eventually it falls on rocky ground and we all go our separate ways. At times, I do not even get to see them in person before everything scatters.

Some months ago, I met this guy who is in the USA. We started talking. After about a month of video calls and getting to know a bit about each other, we started dating. This guy has promised to marry me and even told me he would come down to Ghana so we do the needful. But it has been almost five months now, and he keeps postponing his coming. When I ask him, he tells me it is because of work, but he would definitely come to Ghana, and that he will not go back on his word. He tells me I should hold on to the promise he has given me.

Anytime I meet men who are interested in me and are willing to settle down, I tell them I am dating. But this USA boyfriend, I have not even seen him in person before. I do not know the real colour of his teeth. Hmm. I am just here, holding on to the promise he gave me, the promise that he will come down soon and we will get married and it will be beautiful.

Is There A Perfect One Out There For Everyone?

I have always wanted to settle down early in life. But because of the prophecies, I feel unable to date anyone else. I feel I am not fulfilling the prophecy, and I fear there may be consequences in my relationship or marriage with time. I am not growing any younger, and I want to settle down, but something is also pushing me back and telling me to wait a while, that this guy will come down to marry me.

I am confused. What do I do, please?
