SingleScenes

Q. I just found out that my ex-husband is dating my co-worker and I hate going to work and encountering her. I found out about them accidentally but she doesn’t know I know. I’ve been upset ever since. I can’t stand knowing who he’s with because of the way he treated me. I’m thinking about quitting my job so I don’t have to be reminded of him. I like my job and my friends think I’m overreacting. What do you think?
A. I think you should put your mind over matters, get on with your life, forget about him and her, and find another job you like before you quit. Face the music. He had to end up with somebody. Why care who it is?
Q. I have a real problem. I’m in love with a woman who has a seven-year-old monster for a son. He is the worst child, and she can’t do a thing with him. I really want to marry this woman, but I can’t take her kid. I know his behavior would interfere with our marriage because I’m miserable when I’m around him. So, I’ve ended the relationship. Do you think I did the right thing?
A. Yes, I do. I think you did the right thing for yourself. If you don’t wish to have the headache of dealing with a problem child, you have to do what you deem best for you. It’s just unfortunate because it sounds like the kid could use some intense but loving guidance from a male figure.
