They  get on my nerves

Dear Obaa Yaa,

Both my wife and I are middle school leavers, but because her brothers are overseas, she goes abroad regularly. Because of that she has joined a certain class of people who believe that my wife is better educated than I am and therefore, look down on me.

The way she sometimes communicates with me is so annoying and makes me feel sad.

I overheard one of them asking my wife how she could marry an illiterate like me, and surprisingly she laughed at it as if it was a huge joke. When I confronted my wife afterwards, she denied everything.

I don’t want to divorce my wife, but her friends get on my nerves.

Please advise me.

Kwaku Teye, Konogo

Dear Kwaku Teye,

The current state of your wife is making her feel she is better than you. I can imagine how you feel. It is not fair for your wife to encourage her friends to make derogatory remarks about you.

However, do not make an issue out of it, especially as your wife has denied it.

I will advise you to talk to your wife to stay away from her friends if she really needs her marriage.

I will also plead with you to further your education if you have the means and resources.
