I still got the ‘hots’ for my high school sweetheart

Dear Bella: I’m in a complicated situation where I’m in love with two guys. One is my boyfriend who is almost twice my age and my high school sweetheart who is about same age with me.

The problem is I’ve been with my boyfriend about six years now and I’ve tried to be faithful, but I’ve ended up going out with other guys which he has no idea about.

I love him so much, but I fear that if I tell him the truth of my unfaithfulness he would leave me without a blink of an eye. He has said he don’t believe in giving a woman a second chance, because she should know before she gets involved.

Now I have been in love with my high school sweetheart since six years ago. He is back in Dominica and won’t mind being with me only if I was single. I feel tie up to my throat.

I don’t want to hurt either one. I am in love with both of them. What should I do?

Tie up.

Dear Tie up,

You’ve already taken the decision to hurt your current boyfriend and I’m sure eventually he will find out. It’s true that temptation will come, but it is up to you to not deliberately put yourself in situations where you know you won’t be able to control your feelings. Not because the opportunity affords itself you should act on these feelings, because as you stated you love your boyfriend and you’re in a committed relationship. If he is not fooling around I must commend him for being exclusive to you.

You’re with this man for six years for crying out loud. Nowhere have you mentioned also that you are unhappy or that he is ill-treating you. I suggest if you want to continue the relationship with him you should come clean and clean up your act. Also if you know that you’ll start to quiver and bite your lips around your high school sweetheart I suggest you keep the relationship restrained to “hi” and “bye.”

Bella.

    You lie…you don’t love anyone. You are just a plain azzzzz cheater. Once a cheater will always be a cheater. If you loved your boyfriend you wouldn’t have hots for anyone else but him.

    @concern dominican: why do you have to generalise every Dominician woman?,

    When these guys go abroad especially to study and come back home “TRUST ME” they have baggage. I was in love with someone like that and when the truth was revealed “Oh Boy Look Tory” Don’t be 1 out of 8 females claiming to be his woman and yes don’t forget the baby mama drama that comes with the package.

    @m s: I fully agree. who told you de high school sweetheart haven’t got a woman somewhere? What wrong with him? If he’s educated, and good-looking, there’s no way he don’t have another girl. Stop fooling yourself my dear. He’s just telling you what he thinks you want to hear i.e, he’s single and unattached. THE GRASS IS NOT GREENER ON THE OTHER SIDE!!! In any case, if you’ve cheated on your boyfriend a few times, is either he’s not satisfying you in bed, or you just like to run around. Be careful, you may be biting off more than you can chew.

    Its obvious that you’re young and unsure of wat you want right now.. sleeping with the other guys have proven that you still wanna be out there and not committed to anything or anyone.. do yourself a favor my girl free yourself from your prison. none of wat you’re doing is going to benefit you now or later…you say you love your b/f but really he is just your comfort zone the place u can run to every time one of them flings fail… grow up and live up, respect yourself so others will respect you.. do your shit but do it in the right way… dont be going around hurting a man who has no idea the shit you putting him through.. and always protect yourself..

    Hey…its all about the sex. Be honest. The older guy may be unable to do it right so obviously you are getting your needs met. He is twice your age for crying out loud. Child take your thing and keep your mouth quiet. What the eye don’t see and the ears don’t hear does not hurt. Selfish maybe but die like a soldier, with your boots on. Just don’t go giving every man the man thing.
