Breakup or Makeup? Advice

Submitted by on April 28, 2007 - 12:17 am

Q: I have two boyfriends.  Which one should I go back with — the one who cheated on me or the one who doesn’t want to have kids?

A: If those are your only options, may I suggest you choose to remain single?  Seriously, why would you want to stay with someone who cheats on you?  And if you really want children, why would you stay with someone who doesn’t share your desire?  You deserve a relationship that meets your needs.  Good luck!

Q: I broke up with my boyfriend whom I loved so much. The reason was that he had another girlfriend who I found him with but he could not leave her. Later on, I met and married a man who loved me. Recently I started communicating with my former boyfriend and he told me he broke up with his girlfriend. I started falling in love with him again. He says he still loves me and he cannot love any other woman the same way he loved me. I still love him so much I do not know what to do. My husband loves me but I don’t love him the same way I love my former boyfriend. What do I do? I am very confused.

A: Joli, this is a tough situation. I’m wondering if you really know your ex. It’s easy to think there is still something there but tread very carefully. You have a loving husband and you should not throw that away for someone who carelessly tossed you aside. Think very carefully and search your heart before you act.

    I agree. Why ditch her husband for some guy who was such a jerk? What makes her think he’s changed?

    Joli,

    May I appeal to the spiritual side of things? Whether you were married in a church or not, God supports your union with your husband. He loves you you and wants you to be happy, but He also wants you to stay with your husband, because that is the committment you made. God will carry you through this difficult decision, if you will let Him. If you follow his will for your marriage, you will be happier than you have ever known.
