Dear LIB Readers: My boyfriend might cheat with his PA

From a LIB reader:
I want to share my dilemma with your readers because I need advice. 
My Boyfriend and I have been dating for the past 5 years. I'm in my late 20s, and he's almost 35 and he has not yet proposed to me, even though we've been living together. But that's not even the issue.

I've never had reason to doubt his love or fidelity for me. I know he loves me, and he usually goes extreme miles to prove it. Like 2 years ago, he actually moved to the UK to spend a year with me when I was doing my masters. He owns his own company here in Lagos- a very successful oil and commodities trading firm, but when I was going to the U.K, he relocated with me and ran his business from there just because he wanted to be close to me. He always tells me he can't live without me, and I believe him. I love that guy to death- not because of his wealth, but because he's a very kind-hearted and funny person. And he treats me like I am the only lady in the world. I love him so much- more than anything else in the world. 

He's a billionaire, and he's also quite looking, so you can imagine. Many Lagos girls are always on his case, giving him signals and throwing themselves at him. Whenever we are at the Polo club, I notice how many girls look at him and try to gain his attention. I've never really been bothered because I know he loves me. I've always known him as a decent guy and he has never really been the womanizing type. Actually, he's very shy and quite an introvert. He couldn't even cheat if he wanted to. Plus he's a workaholic so the only priorities in his life have always been me and his work.

But things have changed. Recently, my boyfriend's PA of 6 years went on a study leave out of the country. My Boyfriend needed a replacement, and after his Human resources team conducted a series of interviews, they hired a female PA for him. I had a chance to meet her two weeks ago.

Linda, I don't like the girl. Not one bit. Even though she's polite and courteous,  she is too beautiful. She's a Calabar girl with flawless fair skin. She's a head-turner, the kind that you can't just stare at once. She's a bit taller than me, slim yet busty with a big behind to boot. She has the kind of figure the average Nigerian man likes. She's just the kind of girl every guy would fall in love with at first sight. I don't think my boyfriend can possibly resist that kind of girl, especially when she is working in close proximity with him, every time. I'm also worried because of the incentives my boyfriend has been giving her. His former PA was driving a Honda Accord as an official car. My boyfriend bought her a BMW Jeep for an official car. Linda, who gives a PA a BMW Jeep for an official car? Also, these days my boyfriend has been working late. He usually comes back home by 6 or 7pm latest, and carries on with whatever work is left from home. These days, he comes home around 11pm. I interrogated him about it last week, but he assured me it's nothing and even started getting angry when I tried to press it. I've started feeling like he's becoming distant towards me. One of my friends called me yesterday and told me that she saw my boyfriend with a lady in the Polo club having drinks. The girl described totally fits the description of his new PA.  

I fear this girl may be making moves on my boyfriend, and he may be liking it- or he may even be falling for her, because among other things, I cannot understand the BMW official car, and the late nights. It's difficult not to fall for a girl like her. What do I do Linda? I can't let this girl steal my man. Should I raise my concerns with my man and ask him to fire her and get a Male PA or something? Please advice.

hmn gosh nigerians sha! no wonder marriages fail everyday what is wrong in dating for 5 years.?

ok, i am in a long term relationship, i have bn with my for for 6yrs. we met in sch. i was in 100l he was in 200l.we both graduates now he is doing fine and i just concluded my nysc.( and yes we are getting married.how do i know? cos we have discussed it over and over and over again) believe me what you think is true your bf is cheating on u with your PA. your description of ur bf is similar to mine,,quiet,loving, faithful, goes extra length to be with you. just the same way i ll know if my bf is cheating on me ( he has never cheated on me btw)

this thing is instinct---those of us in long rltnshps know this and most time it is true. as someone said above get really close with ur bf's PA and too confront him nicely again. if u handle the situation smartly he ll come back 5 years isnt beans. you know him better, work his way back to you, you have the remote control. best of luck

there was this girl that was all over my bf at one time. the first day i saw the girl, it didnt take me up to 10 minutes to know she was up to something and funny enjoying the 'attention' ( men are naughty creatures walahi) i told him that day that i didnt like her ..... i told him to tell her off which he did pls do something before it is too late

Look confronting him won't get you anywhere really. What you need to do is, go to his office when least expected to see how they relate with eachother. Also, you need to make friends with someone in the office, that you can trust that can give a download of what goes on.Then when you're to confront him, make sure you have proof. Plus, don't make it seem like you've been spying on him because I suspect that's what he'll say; that you don't trust him blah blah blah. Hope it works out for you hun. *P.s Fight for your man!!!

5yrs living with someone you are not married to!!! Well I hope other ladies would learn from this. There is nothing proper about co-habitation no matter how people try to defend it. Well the did has been done all you have to do is damage control.I think you need to have heart to heart discussion with your BF as to where the relationship is heading. I don't think it is best to confront the P.a. Please save your self the embarrassment as this would be a sure recipe for disaster. Use your head.
@ Stephen, in my honest opinion this is not about deliverance. Attraction to same-sex is not same as being demon possessed. It is a pity that a lot of Nigerians attribute everything to Enemies or the devil. If you are a christian, it may interest you to know that in ancient Corinth some who later became believers had similar challenged and they were able to overcome this habit. So do not give in to despair, you can surmount this challenge by taking practical steps. I think you are making progress because:
1.you acknowledge that what got involved in is wrong and 2. You've taken steps not to engage in the practice for a while now. That is quite commendable. please why not ask linda to feature your story or drop a contact e-mail so others can be of help. You may also contact me on onemecarl@live.com I could share some materials and experiences with you.
NB: Having same sex feelings doesn't make you a homosexual, it is acting on such feelings that make you one. Think about it.

Lady, if he doesn't pop d question b4 september, dump his sorry and stupid ass. Can you imagine 5yrs of life on an unprofitable business venture cause thats exactly what your boyfriend is. Forget he loves you, if I hear say a successful guy dates a girl for 5 solid years without engaging her, something else is involved in their matter. Successful guys know what they want and they go for it. Abi, you want turn to Annie Macauly wey wait for 14yrs before 2face propose. Since February that he proposed, I did not hear that he has gotten married or has plans of getting married soon.
Your boyfriend sees you as a good companion that is why he could leave his business and stay with you for your masters.
My dear, wake up cause you are still dreaming. Love my Ass. Mscheew

I am not impressed. I believe this story was cooked up. Be that as it may, I am a female oh but I am on the side of the man. Can you please define your relationship with this man? What is the difference between you and the PA now? did you say he is a billionaire? what were you waiting for all these years? Omase o! The doctrine of Laches and Acquiescence says you have been sleeping since.

I have an idea, getting ride of this girl isn't that hard at all. Plant a rumour about the guy and let your guy be the first to know discreetly of course. Do not do it yourself instead pay someone to do it for you. Have a nice day dear
