LOVE VS FAMILY A Hard One to Choose

This is one of those questions that really touch deep. Love vs Family? Hmm. That one hard o. Because love sweet but family na everything too. So imagine falling in love with someone you really connect with, someone that makes your heart beat fast, understands your mood, supports your dreams, and just feels like your own person but then, boom! Your family no like the person at all. They don’t want to hear his name or even see him around you.

E no easy I swear. I don’t even know the right answer to this one, but let me just speak from my heart like say it’s happening to me now

.

First of all, love is beautiful, but family too is not small something. These are the people that know you from day one. They stood by you when nobody else did. So when they say they don’t like your partner, it go pain. Especially if na the person you truly love.

I think I will first ask myself why my family don’t like him. Is it that they see something I don’t see? Or is it just tribe, religion, or background wahala? Because sometimes, family go judge based on surface things and not the real heart of the person. And sometimes too, love dey blind us. So we might not be seeing what they’re seeing.

I will try to talk to them, not once o, not twice. I go sit down my mum especially because I know women dey understand love matters. I’ll try to explain how this person treats me, how happy I am, and how he adds value to my life. If the problem is misunderstanding or wrong impression, then I believe with time, they will come around.

But if after trying everything, they still stand gidigba say no, I won’t lie, I’ll be very confused.

Running away with the person? Hmm. That one no be me. I love my family too much to just cut them off like that. I don’t want a situation where I lose my whole family because of one person. Because what if the love no last? What if things go bad tomorrow? I’ll be alone, and regret will enter.

Leaving the person? That one too go pain me o, but I might do it if I’m very sure the reason my family is against him is valid and not just out of pride or sentiment. I’ll cry o, I go cry tire, but peace of mind is better than secret tears later.

But if I believe strongly in my heart that this person is really good for me and my family just dey stubborn, I will stand my ground respectfully. I won’t insult anybody or cause fight, but I’ll make them understand that I’m adult and I have to make my own choices too.

At the end, I believe in balance. Love and family are both important, and I will do my best not to lose either.

So for me, the answer is not run or leave. I go fight for love, but respect my family while doing it
