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... |  | |  | |
