Dear Queenie,
I’ve been living with my boyfriend for a couple of years. Last year I had a little fling with another guy. My boyfriend found out about it after a while, but didn’t want to break up with me.
I decided to stay with my boyfriend because he has a real good job and I can’t support myself on my own, and the other guy said if that was what I was going to do, we should stop seeing each other, but I’m really in love with him and I miss him something awful.
Queenie, would it be all right for me to call him?—I miss him so much
Dear Miss,
Let’s see. You are living with one guy because he is supporting you, or at least helping you out financially, but you’re in love with another guy and had an affair with him. There are several words to describe your behaviour, none of them very complimentary.
The man you are living with is incredibly generous, in my opinion. And the other one may have called it off with you when he discovered what your priorities are.
And, no, it would not be all right to call guy #2 as long as you are living with guy #1, which may be another reason why guy #2 called it quits with you.
