DEAR ABBY: I am a 22-year-old single woman, independent and very nice-looking -- so I am told. For two years, I was seeing a married man who was separated from his wife. He said he and his wife were trying to work out their problems with a counselor for the sake of their three kids, but he was still very much in love with me. I sent him back to his wife and family.
I took a month's vacation to try and forget him. Now I'm home, and he is on the phone trying to get me to see him. I don't want to see him because he is a very convincing man and I don't want to start up with him again. On the other hand, I really love him. Half of me wants to see him again, and the other half tells me I shouldn't. I need your advice as soon as possible. -- IN LOVE IN NEW MEXICO
DEAR IN LOVE: Listen to the half with the brains in it, and tell him to stay with his family.
