SingleScenes

Q.  I know my boyfriend is seeing another woman and my suspicions were confirmed when I followed him to a place where he stayed all night and came out the next morning embraced by a very attractive woman.  I didn’t approach him because I didn’t want him to know I was stalking him.  I followed as he dropped the woman off at work and kissed her goodbye.  How can I let him know I know without making a fool of myself?  I’m not prepared to break up with him and let this woman have him to herself.

A.  What’s the point in letting him know you know?  You do know and that should be enough to hightail out of the relationship.  You may reap some weird satisfaction in announcing his “unfaithfulness” to him, but to what end?  The answer is simple.  If you don’t mind sharing him, say nothing and remain the status quo.  If you do, get lost before he does.

Q.  I have been involved with a married man for the last four years and he is finally in the process of divorcing his wife.  My problem is that he still doesn’t want to be seen with me in public until his divorce is final.  I’m furious.  I deserve better.  I’m tired of being in the background. I feel like I’m being strung along, but I’ve invested too much in this relationship to let go now.   What would you do?

A.   Judging from the vile tone of your letter, you are more than furious.  If I felt the way you do, I would refuse to see him in private and therefore take myself out of the background.   If you think you deserve better…act like it.
