DEAR ABBY: I am 19 and dating a 25-year-old married man. Three months ago he left his wife and moved closer to me. We were spending 24/7 together -- and it was wonderful.
A few weeks ago, he decided that for the sake of his three children he would give his marriage another chance. Now he is back living with his family and seeing me on the side. I'm heartbroken. We were just getting somewhere, and now I'm back at "square one" -- alone most of the time.
I've tried staying away from him, but I can't. I know in my heart that he will leave his wife soon, and we'll be 24/7 again. Abby, what if he comes back to me, and then changes his mind again? -- HURT AND CONFUSED
DEAR HURT: What IF? If you think this romance is going anywhere, you're dreaming. Stop wasting your time. Your lover made his choice when he returned to his family. Trust me, the time has come to accept reality and go on with your life.
