Scared of being alone

by Sally Ann Lasson

question

Dear Sally Ann,
I've been going out with my boyfriend for two years now and he treats me quite badly. The only person that's been there for me is his best friend and about six months ago we started sleeping together. He admitted he'd had strong feelings for me in the past and promised if I left my boyfriend then we will be together. I left my boyfriend for him but the other guy suddenly didn't want to know me. Now I'm back with my boyfriend, the other guy says he wants me back and I feel so much for him that I am sleeping with him again. Will this guy stay with me or should I stick to my boyfriend?

P.S. This is the first time I've done something like this. I'm not a bad person, I just don't want to be alone.

answer

Dear Unlucky in love
You're not a bad person but you are in a bad situation of your own making. You don't say in what way your boyfriend disrespects you but I'm assuming it's not a pretty story. Then there's his friend, a vile and evil seducer, who will chuck you every time you become available. Why? Because he's in some weird competition with your boyfriend and it's got nothing to do with you.I know it's easier said than done, but don't be afraid of being alone. You are really alone now, with these two men messing with your head and using you. Stand up for yourself and chuck both of them. You will feel scared but also invigorated and powerful. Try and see friends or family who will support you. Concentrate on your work and take it day by day. You can be somebody else - somebody who doesn't put up with this rubbish.


Good luck
