Dear Pastor,

I have been with my girlfriend for three years, but recently I fell out with her mom and she is putting a lot of stress on my girl to leave me. I love my girl and I want to continue seeing her, but I don't know what to do because she says she will leave me when she gets back from holiday.

Dear D.D.,

This girl told you that she is planning to leave you. Allow her to go in peace, you will not die. If there was true love in this three-year relationship, her mother could not cause her to leave you. I am sorry you did not mention what caused the strain between you and her mother. Whatever it was, don't stick around if your girlfriend doesn't want you to. Who knows, you may find a better woman.

Pastor.
