Dear Queenie,
My boyfriend is at university in the States, but we talk on the phone several times a day and travel to be together as often as we can.
The last time we were together he told me loves me, but he’s been dating other women and having sex with them, and he hardly spent any time with me.
I told him I couldn’t go on like that and things were over between us, but he still calls and says he loves me.
Queenie, should I give him another chance or tell him to leave me alone?—Heartbroken
Dear Heartbroken,
Your (ex-)boyfriend wants to have his cake (you) and eat it too (a lot of other women).
Do not let him make you feel like second choice. Tell him he can “eat all the cake” he wants and to let you get on with your life in peace, meaning without him. You can find a lot better “significant other” than this philanderer.
