Anonymous met his partner seven years ago and says they moved in together at his partner’s family home, on her request, as he used to live at his work quarters when they met. 

He was initially ok with this living arrangement, however, over time he’s felt emasculated by this situation, with people in the community referring to him as “makoti”. 

He has spoken to his partner about moving out from her family home and renting somewhere else, but she’s completely against it. 

Anonymous also feels bullied in his relationship and adds that his partner doesn’t seem to respect him.

Ask a Man 28 May '25: 'I'm over living with my girlfriend's family.'

Anonymous has been with her partner for about 9 years now, and says things were generally fine between them until she found out last year that he actually has children from a previous relationship that he didn’t tell her about. 

She was upset about this and confronted him, to which he responded by saying that she should be happy that he married her instead of the mother of his children. 

She is now in the process of divorcing him, however, the people in her life are calling her out, saying she’s overreacting by divorcing him.

Ask A Man 20 May '26: 'Is the love bite a sign that she's moved on?'

Anonymous started dating her partner about three years ago and says her partner cheated on her, with his ex, early on in their relationship but they overcame this and moved on with their relationship. 

She recently found texts on his phone to his friend where he was sharing with his friend about meeting up with another girl. 

She confronted him about this and he said it’s not something that actually happened or that he went through with, he was just trying to impress his friends, who apparently thrive on that kind of behaviour. 

She’s thinking of breaking up with him, but is not sure if thats the right choice.
