My Boyfriend’s Father Warned His Son Not To Marry Me Because I’m A Nurse

Dear Tee, I don’t know what to do because my boyfriend’s father told him not to marry me because I am a nurse. He told him that he would disown him if he insists of marrying me. We been dating for about 3 years now but I only moved to Lagos this last three months.

I have lived in Anambra since we started dating and working in a private hospital but I moved to Lagos last three months and I work in a good hospital in lekki. And we felt that it was time for me to meet his people  because they live in Lagos but it didn’t go as planned.

I love my boyfriend, he is kind, very hardworking, he is the one I want to spend the rest of my life with. I’m 29 years old. But my boyfriend’s father does not approve of me and my career as a nurse and Iam beginning to think I wasted 3 years of my life all for nothing.

Mind you that we have plans to relocate to Canada because they pay nurses better there. He is into IT and Canada will be good for him too. But these plans have gone to nothing. My boyfriend told me on friday we can’t be together anymore because his father does not approve of me.

According to my boyfriend’s father, nurses are not responsible wives and he can’t mgrry me, his father told him nurses cheaat with patients and doctors. My boyfriend  has already made up his mind and will not disagree with his dad. He loves and respects his father so much, he worships his father.

I can’t believe he didn’t tell them since about me until three years have passed. And now his father is not even budging threatening to disown him if he marrys me.I have been crying, nonstop, I can’t even sleep or work. I love being a nurse and helping people. In fact it is my life’s calling and I have spent years on it.

Where I need advice is that my boyfriend later said we should relocate and he won’t listen to his father. Should I agree to this ? I feel bad that I’m the reason his father will disown him. Please what do you advise? BecauseI told my mother all this and she said if i make his father disown him he will take the anger out on me when we move and marry.
