Ghanaian Ladies Abroad Reveal Why They Prefer Men In Ghana To Men Abroad: “We Need Attention”

  • A group of Ghanaian women said they prefer local spouses over men living abroad with them due to the lack of attention and infidelity issues
  • They express dissatisfaction with partners who prioritise work, leaving them feeling neglected even after relocating
  • The women emphasise the importance of being cautious, praying, and staying vigilant while choosing partners to avoid disappointment in relationships

A group of Ghanaian women has shared their reasons for choosing local spouses over men living abroad.

According to them, men abroad often prioritise work over relationships, leaving them feeling neglected. Even those who marry men from Ghana who later join them abroad find their partners increasingly absorbed in work, leading to emotional distance.

In a video, one woman pointed out that men living abroad tend to be unfaithful, complicating their relationships further. She noted that some men deceive women into relationships despite being married, only to disappoint them later.

Marriages in Ghana are better than those abroad

Meanwhile, a Ghanaian in the UK also said marriages in Ghana are far better than those abroad, and he gave his reasons.

Albert Osei Tutu explained that most couples abroad divorce at the slightest provocation, compared to Ghana, where they'll at least try to solve their issues.

He gave an example where partners abroad do not see themselves often because of their work schedule, but in Ghana, couples are sure to see each other most nights.
