Dear Pastor,

It is a long time I have been planning to write to you, but it is only now I have got the courage to do so. I am 47 and living with a woman. She is the third woman I have lived with. I spent most of my life in America wasdivorced and came back to Jamaica. Every woman I meet believes I have money. I have some money but I don't tell everybody how much.

I am building a house and living with a woman. She is three years older than I am, but I am asking her to leave because she is very lazy. She wants the house to be packed up with her grandchildren. She is not a dignified woman. Even when the children are here, she walks in the house only in her panties and brassiere. I told her it is not right but she continues to do it. When the children are here, she uses up everything in the kitchen to feed them and she doesn't want me to say anything.

I told her she has to leave. Because I told her to leave, she has been scandalising my name, telling people I am no good in bed.

Please I am asking you to tell me how I can get this woman to leave without getting myself into trouble.

R.C.

Dear R.C.,

I do not see why you should get yourself into trouble. This woman with whom you are living should be given adequate notice to leave. However, I do not wish to mislead you. I suggest you speak to a lawyer who would give you legal advice.

Pastor
