Q. I discovered accidentally that my ex-husband is dating my co-worker and I hate going to work and encountering her.  She doesn’t know he’s my ex, but I’ve been upset ever since.  I can’t stand knowing who he’s with after the way he treated me. It also doesn’t help that she brags daily about her “new boyfriend” and all the fun they’re having.  I’m thinking about quitting my job.  What do you think I should do?

A. I think you should put your mind over matters, get on with your life, forget about him and find another job before you quit. Face it!  He had to end up with someone.  Why care who it is?  It sounds like she needs your sympathy instead of your envy. 

Q. I have been involved with a married man for the last five years and now after years of promising to divorce his wife, he is in the process.  My problem is that now he’s asking me to put our relationship on hold for a while, so his wife won’t take him to the cleaners financially.  I think he’s trying to get rid of me because he’s got someone else.  I’ve invested too much to be cast away. What do you think?

A. Under the normal “rules of engagement” (meaning relationships) if one person seems to be backing away from another person, they should be allowed to do so.  Also, if a man has a record of being unfaithful, why would he change his pattern just because of the time you’ve put in?  I would suggest you go in search of mutual feelings.  I think this bird has flown the coop and though it hurts, I suggest you close the gate behind him.
