Before I met this present boyfriend I had a long running affair with a married man.<\/p>\n<p>The affair was based more on necessity than anything else: he gave me money, he paid my bills.<\/p>\n<p>Even after I met my boyfriend, the married man would occasionally pop up and I would just fall for him and sleep with him.<\/p>\n<p>Now I want to get over this and move on with my boyfriend but whenever the married man pops up, I grow weak and cannot help myself.<\/p>\n<p>I really want to forget that affair because if my boyfriend knows about it, he will be deeply hurt because he knows nothing about my secret escapades.<\/p>\n<p>How do I forget that affair and move on?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Need Help<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<br \/>\nDear Need Help,<\/p>\n<p>Here are some suggestions if you want to forget the affair you are having<\/p>\n<p>-Put away things with strong memories of the married guy. Destroy or throw away things he gave you in the past: jewelry, clothing and so on<\/p>\n<p>-Don\u2019t wallow. Change radio channels when \u2018your song\u2019 comes on<\/p>\n<p>-Don\u2019t check his Facebook account or indulge in checking out what he is doing on the internet<\/p>\n<p>-Don&#8217;t meet with friend you have in common with the married man because it might give you clues that he\u2019s missing you and will just make matters worse<\/p>\n<p>-Use distraction techniques. Instead of daydreaming about how things might have been, think about something practical and pressing \u2014 such as what to cook for supper<\/p>\n<p>-Spend time, lots of time, with your boyfriend. Grow the relationship and make it invincible.<\/p>\n<p>Good luck<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bella<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Have a problem? Write to Dear Bella at dominicanewsonline@gmail.com.
