The Singles Scene

by Sarah Smart

Q.  What would you do if you found out that your best friend’s new “wonderful” boyfriend was engaged to one of your co-workers and you were through coincidence, invited to the engagement party?  Would you tell her?  My friend is so excited and thrilled over this guy, who has been suspect to me from the beginning.  My friend is 35, never married, and obsessed with the ticking of her biological clock. Therefore, she is very vulnerable to guys with game.  I’m afraid to tell her because she is very paranoid and is always accusing others of being jealous of her.  What would you do?

A.  I would take her to the engagement party and let him tell her when the engaged couple makes their announcement.

Q.  My boyfriend is white and I believe he loves me.  But he will not be seen with me in public.  Our relationship is totally in the dark from the world.  My friends know of him, but he refuses to meet them.  I love him too, but I’m tired of the secret affair.  I want people to know who he is.  I have accused him of being ashamed of me, which he denies.  He says, he just cannot bear the stares of a disapproving world.  What would you do in my place?  Would you sever the relationship or continue hiding in the dark for the sake of love?

A.  I would continue hiding in the dark for the sake of love.  If that is your only complaint, you’re doing great.  Who cares if others never see him?  Your relationship is a personal thing.  And time could always bring about a change.
