An interview with Jaggy Singh
LetterDear Maj....

This week: a man with woman trouble. With a steady girlfriend and a bit on the side everything seemed to be rosy...that is until he was rumbled. Now he's got to let one of them go but which? The dependable girlfriend or the other woman - how can he possibly decide?


Dear Maj,

I desperately need your advice. I've been in a steady relationship for several years and until recently everything was great. My girlfriend's been through a lot for me, she even gave up her own dreams to follow me around the country for work. Then a few months ago I met someone else - Tina. I wasn't looking for anyone but she took my breath away and before I knew it we were seeing each other. Now she's found out about my girlfriend and given me an ultimatum - but how can I dump my girlfriend? She'd never recover from it. I really want to be with Tina - she makes me feel alive, whereas life with my girlfriend's gone stale. Please, please help me to find a way out!

Dear "confused",

You've certainly got a difficult decision to make but, for everyone's sake, make it quick! Dragging things out isn't going to make anything easier. I can't say I'm impressed by your two-timing tricks but, as you've already done it, I guess there's no point in telling you it's wrong. One thing's for sure though, I wouldn't have been as forgiving as Tina!

It sounds to me as though your relationship with Tina is a kind of escapism. You and your girlfriend have obviously hit a rough patch but long-term relationships can't be fireworks and fantasy all the time. Ask yourself: if you went to Tina, wouldn't that relationship eventually become less fiery too? Wouldn't Tina become the mundane, everyday girl you obviously now see your girlfriend as? She wouldn't have that "forbidden fruit" element any more. No-one else can decide for you but my advice is to think over why you and your girlfriend made such a good team for so long. Are you exaggerating what is simply a difficult patch into something more terminal...and is Tina really worth giving up everything for? Good luck
!

I think we can all guess that "Mr Confused" is actually Jaggy - but what would you advise him to do? Should he stay with Simran or hook up with Tina? Post your advice using the form below...

Jaggy isn't a true man, he's ruining the personality of the word man.

erm....yea course jaggy doin the wrong thing and definitly dont deserve either of em! and am surprised most of the guys are saying that his in the wrong cos....most of the guys these days do that kinda stuff so they can talk! but we as gyals need to watch out too. goin back to the subject, id kick his ASS!!!!

zeena, south london
well lucky for juggy for having 2 girls all this time,but luck usually runs out and we know that in this case its true! i think that he realy doesn't deserve to be with simran, she can do miles better, and as for getting over it, lol, it won't take her long! and then if tina could live with the fact that her guy is a cheat, then they can be happy, BUT whats to stop him from doing it again with some1 else when the honeymoon period is over?

HARVINDER , CALIFORNIA USA
He needs to be honset and upfront with Simran - it is really horrible for to find out from soneone else - be a MAN and just tell her. She probably knows something is going on.

at the end of the day, it is jaggies life he was responsible 4 his yesterda and will b 4 the commin 2morow. so better to sort b4 the things get even worse. no one is bside u except god, mom and dad at the end.... donn act in stupid way .. get mature ...marry a nice lady .. tats it

Allan
I think Jaggy should really think about it properly and I agree with Maj on this. If his feelings are gone with his current girl friend then he should tell her about it. It may sound harsh on his girl friend but at the end of the day he is telling the truth to her. Personally Jaggy I think you should have told Tina about your girlfriend because feelings are involved and you shouldn't really mess around like this

anuj khurana new delhi india
well as per the scenario jaggy should leave simran as the way he had broken her trust after so many years of intense relationship coz of another woman that's tina.he doesn't deserve a loyal woman like simran coz even he wants to live with her but there is no assurity that he would poke his nose on some other woman in near future...so it's better jaggy should seperate from simran.but simran should think about her future instead of spoiling her entire life for this guy....ALL THE BEST SIMRAN!!!!

kav & nav, wolverhampton
we think jaggy doesnt deserve the pair of them,he needs not 1 slap but 2 slaps across the face. he needs to get a life and sort himself out b4 messin about with oda people's lives. u dnt deserve any1 m8!!!!!

tammy
i think jaggy should stay with his girlfriend but let her about tina although she may leave him but she has the right to know

Nads,London
What planet is this man living on? 'She'd never recover from it!' Oh please-she'll probably be out partying and celebrating everyday knowing` what a low life she dumped. unless u move abroad and marry them both? now there's an idea.

misfa, southampton
i think jaggy should just realise no woman would stay with a guy who has cheated on them im sure his girlfirend would realise that Jaggy is a weinner and leave him she and all the woman deserve someone who is willing to be wioth them and not have wondering eyes, also tina abviously doesnt love him that much as no girl would ever share their man.

Vibhuti, Warwick
Tina should tell Simran everything and the two of them should make sure Jaggy gets his just desserts... He's treated them both really badly and (as D rightly says above) he doesn't deserve either! Tina should realise that he's not worth the heartache, and if he could cheat on Simran he could easily cheat on her too...

Narinder, Manchester
Jaggy should stick to Simran, although he should be caught out by both of them, he needs to be taught a lesson by the ladies! he shouldnt be messing around with 2 gals at once!

Sam. Watford
well wat can i say..Mr J..ur just in the same position as my ex..he was with me for 3 1/2 years and then he met this girl and just like the way you felt this girl also blew his mind away..i also gave my boyfriend a altimatum and he decided he wanted to get bk with me..but 5 months later he cheated on me again..so honestly i agree with the above statement you really dnt desever any1 after what you did..i slapped my ex round a face and simran you should do the same..

pochina, CA
well...he dosent derseve either of them but any-who just break up with both....they deserve someone more practical and realistic...if u really loved simran, u shudnt have let her give up her dream...so this just shows what kind of a guy u r laters

zainub, birmingham
even though i know we can play around with these characters and be really mean, i still think jaggy should forget about tina and go back to simran, even if he doesnt deserve her, simran doesnt deserve to get hurt, either. forget tina. blimey, its like my maths homework, simultaneous equations!

D, London
Jaggy doesn't deserve either of them after what he's done. They should both gang up on him and get their own back!

Rach, Birmingham
I reckon Jaggy should go for Tina - she's obviously stupid enough to have him and he doesn't deserve Simran after the way he's treated her!
