Her mom is a fifty-three-year-old woman but looks thirty. I met her once and was caught in her aura. I said her mom was beautiful, and she responded, “That’s what everyone says.” The woman isn’t only beautiful outwardly—she is both inside and out.

She treated me that day with warmth and talked to me as if she had known me forever. When I was leaving, she said, “Call me sometimes. When she misbehaves, let me be the first person to know.”

She bled love on me, and I felt it.

My girlfriend took a photo with her mom and posted it on her WhatsApp, and I commented, “This woman, I dey feel am roff!”

It was on the lighter side of things, but she didn’t respond to that message and didn’t respond to any of the ones I sent that day. When I called and asked why, she said, “Is she the only woman you saw in the photo? It looks like she’s the one you want. Go for her.”

After days of arguing over this issue and putting things right, anytime we have an issue, she would bring her mom’s issue up again and start berating me from there until she gets to the current issue.

I feel she’s being childish, and it hurts me anytime she does that. Just yesterday, she told me, “I won’t leave my mom with you for a second. You have a thing for toothless old women—it’s obvious.”

It came out of nowhere, and we fought. If she can’t forgive and forget this small issue, then what can she forgive? Or should I involve her mother and set this straight once and for all?
