Dear Ladies,

The Question: In a relationship with a married man, he says he’s in love with me, we are childhood sweethearts, and we never stop loving each other. What should I do?

The Answer: Some things just aren't meant to be, and some are.

I am inferring and assuming a great deal now.

1. You met again after he was in an established marriage.

2. The Honeymoon stage of that relationship had died and you reignited his hormones and happiness brain chemicals. Love is new to him again, and much more exciting than his wife.

3. He may or may not have children and use them as an excuse to stay with his wife.

4. He has no intention of divorcing his wife for you.

5. He will give you all sorts of rationalizations about why he can't get a divorce.

6. You don't mind being the side chick.

7. Even if he does divorce, he is likely to do exactly the same to you down the line.

8. Yours could possibly be the exception, but it might not, especially since you didn't say he's initiated divorce proceedings.

9. He's a cheat and a liar, and you'll never know if what he's telling you is the truth, which means your relationship is based on shakey, untrustworthy ground.

This, dear heart, is an objective evaluation. I hope you listened to it with your mind and not your heart.
