Welcome to my blog

Days before I met Mensah, my pastor had prophesied to me that God had heard my cry and that my teary days were over. For me, Mensah was the light that God had sent to outshine the darkness in my life. I met him through a friend when Mensah returned to Ghana from Ireland in 2014. The 42-year-old engineer was an example of the perfect man I had been praying to have in my life. He is slim, muscular, with a strongly defined face, almost perfect cheekbones and a well-defined chin and nose. He had been living in the UK for 22 years, schooling and working. He got married but was divorced at the time we met. He told me his ex-wife left their home in Ireland with their three-year-old baby girl for Ghana after they had a heated argument one day. ‘I did everything a husband would do for a wife but she never stopped nagging. We fought sometimes but got over them but she called for a divorce after she arrived in Ghana,’ I remember very well these words from Mensah when I asked him why ...

Have you ever thought of where broken hearts go? I have been to so many places hoping to easily get over the untimely end of my marriage. Like I said in the article about my divorce ‘Inside Asiedua’s chest -My divorce a day after my wedding’, I started running after I found out but I did not know where I was going to. I divorced my husband a day after my wedding. My ex-husband had an affair with his ex on the eve of our wedding. I found out on our wedding night. It was a very difficult time for me; I was so confused and did not know where to go. One thing that made me feel better after the divorce was writing the story for others to read on myjoyonline.com. Many people offered to help me. It helped me but it was just for a while. In the second part of my story,’ Inside Asiedua’s chest- My divorce a day after my wedding Pt. 2’, I wrote about the trauma. My whole life was centered on my relationship with Jo. My dream, my whole life was halted because I had to take about a...

Yes I am seeking divorce already! We met about a year ago at a friend’s birthday party. We started off by exchanging numbers then became friends few weeks after we met. On a dinner date one cozy night, Joojo Bentil asked me to be his wife. I laughed very loud. Then I said to him, “But you barely know even my name, and I do not know if your name is what you say it is.” “I see in you all the qualities of the perfect wife I have been praying to meet,” he said with conviction and an obviously lump in his throat. He swallowed hard. I smiled. Then he asked “will you be in a relationship with me, please”? This time, I didn’t think twice, I just said yes. You know why? I had waited too long for that. You have no idea the things I imagined when he refused to let go of my hands after the introduction. Do you remember the things you did in the first two months of your relationship? Ours was awesome; we spent so much time together and a talked on phone the little time we were not toget...
