A Ghanaian woman, Yaa, has opened up about the emotional turmoil she has faced since relocating to Germany and losing communication with her husband of 13 years. Speaking on Matter Dey with DJ Nyaami, she shared how what was supposed to be a family decision turned into a heartbreaking silence.
Yaa traveled to Germany almost a year ago. Her husband personally escorted her to the airport, and at the time, everything seemed peaceful. They agreed she would go ahead while he worked on his own travel plans. According to her, he was even refused a visa when he tried to join her.
However, shortly after she migrated, communication between them collapsed. Yaa explained that her phone got spoiled, but even after buying a new one and making every effort to reach out, the connection between them never recovered.
“When I came, I had to call someone in Ghana to go and tell my husband to call me. He eventually called, and for only three days we talked. Since then—nothing.”
For almost a year, Yaa has not been able to reach her husband consistently. She said he is active on WhatsApp, updates his status regularly, yet her calls never go through.
“I haven’t spoken to my husband for a whole week straight. He’s online every day but ignores my calls. I’m depressed.”
Her frustration deepened when her husband blocked her mother, who called him to urge him to communicate with his wife. Yaa now fears that her husband may have lost interest in the marriage.
Some of his actions have left her confused and hurt. She noted that he insisted she pay a “connection man” to help him travel, something she could not afford. Now she feels he may have wanted her to leave Ghana so he could be free.
“Maybe he didn’t love me. Maybe he sent me abroad so he could get rid of me.”
Despite everything, Yaa still cares for the family. She recently bought tablets for all their children, and her husband was the one who received the package. Yet, he still refuses to communicate with her.
Yaa has now reached a turning point. She says she no longer cares about the German documents or the struggles to legalize her stay. She is 40 years old and feels she cannot spend the rest of her life in emotional pain.
“In January, I will return to Ghana to save my marriage. I don’t like the nkrataa again. I won’t stay abroad. I want my home.”
She says her sister even introduced a man who claimed he could arrange documents for her at a cost of €20,000—but he also wanted to date her. That was the final sign for Yaa that her peace of mind mattered more than staying abroad.
For now, she is learning the language, paying off debts, and preparing emotionally for her return home.
