My mom is dating a man in our church and is busily trying to hide it from me. I’m happy for her that, at her age, she has found a man to keep her company after the death of my father, but I don’t understand why she’s hiding it.

I came home from work early one day, and she was home. I was surprised, but immediately she heard my voice, she stepped out of her room to meet me outside. She had only a cloth wrapped around her chest. I thought she was sick, but she was too loud and active to be sick.

“Eiii, you’ve come home early, papa. What happened today?” She asked.

She was standing in the middle of the doorway with her hands touching both sides of the doorframe, completely blocking the entrance. She wouldn’t let me in. That was what made me suspicious. Then I saw the shadow of someone tiptoeing out of her room and moving in the opposite direction.

It was when he jumped through the window outside that I got to see who he was. My mom kept me outside for as long as she needed to make sure the man was gone, talking about nothing in particular. I was smiling because I had already seen him.

Another time, I woke up at dawn to use the toilet when I saw my mom gently opening the front door so it wouldn’t make a sound. I stood there watching her. Soon, the man quietly tiptoed out of the house like a shadow. My mom gently closed the door and walked back into her room.

I Called My Girlfriend And Another Man Answered The Phone

This is a very respectable man in our church, ooo, and he’s here jumping through windows like a thief in the night. At this moment, I feel they are suffering to hide what they should be enjoying, and it worries me. They meet in church and avoid each other as if nothing is going on.

Am I right to liberate them by telling them I know the truth?

I don’t know how long they intend to keep hiding, but this is suffering. My mom and the man are too noble to go through this in the expression of their love. Or you say I should mind my business while they mind theirs?
