I went through my boyfriend’s phone. I was looking through to see how faithful he had been and what was going on in his life that I wasn’t aware of. I didn’t find anything that suggested he was cheating, but the conversation with his mom is what is currently giving me a headache.

His mom downloaded one of my videos on TikTok, sent it to him, and asked, “So all the women in this world, is she the only one you can see? I will be very mad if you marry this girl.”

I haven’t done anything to her. She sees me and we laugh. I go to visit, and I do my best to be seen as a good woman who can also keep a home. She doesn’t have any problem with me but my looks. She thinks I’m too skinny and ugly for her son.

She continued, “When you left Akos I thought you were going for Miss Universe. Wei? Tweakai.”

These are all voice notes oo, so you can imagine the angst and condescension in her voice while saying all that.

I can swear Akos is not more beautiful than I am. I know her paa. The only thing she has that I don’t have is body and maybe her color. She’s fair, but I like my chocolate color.

My boyfriend didn’t respond to any of these voice notes. Maybe he called her later and they talked. I would have loved to read what my boyfriend said in response. If he defended me. If he said he loved me just the way I am or tried to put his mom right, I wouldn’t be worried by now, but he said nothing beneath those voice notes.

It makes me wonder if I should ask him about it. I know he would ask why I went through his phone, and that may bring a little chaos, but then, I want to know what he said to his mom concerning me so I know what to do going forward.

Should I ask him about it? Specifically, should I ask him what he said in response to his mom’s insult and what he did to defend me? Or should I just let sleeping dogs lie?

We are very fine, me and him. I believe he loves me because he hasn’t done anything to suggest otherwise, but we are talking about his mom here. Should I be worried?
