My girlfriend has ‘pretty car eye’

Dear Pastor,

I am a 19-year-old young man and my girlfriend is 22 years old. When I met her I was 18, but I told her that I was 22. She didn't doubt me because I am muscular.

Right now, things are not going well with us because one of my schoolmates became close to her, and I told her that I didn't like it. This guy and I play football together and he is always showing off. He lives with his mother and she allows him to drive her car. I come from a poor family. I can't take my girlfriend out in a car. I have to take the bus. Devon House is our favourite spot. This guy is mocking her and telling her that I have nothing to offer her, and she has started to go out with him. I told her that if I can't get her, nobody else will, and she said she has a mind to report me for threatening her. Sometimes on weekends, I work and I pick up a little money, and I used to give her some of it. But this guy has been giving her money, so I stopped giving her mine. I really love her, but I don't know what to do.

Dear H.D.,

End the relationship with this g irl. Break off the friendship with the young man also. If he wants this young woman, let him have her. You are a young man and you will meet another girl. This guy has pushed himself onvyour girlfriend. She should have told him that she is not interested in him because both of you are in a relationship. But she likes him more than you. She also likes the thought that he can drive his mother's car, and having wheels is important to her. This young man was not a good friend to you at all. He should have seen your girlfriend and kept away from her. He is not a man of integrity. I would consider what you told her as a threat. She is not the type of person that you should fight to get or keep, so let her go her way. There is a better woman for you and you will meet her soon.
