DEAR ABBY: I was dating this guy for 5 1/2 years. It was a struggle because of all the problems I suffered through in my previous relationships. He assured me that he wasn't like the rest. I believed that we were getting back on track, slowly.
A few days ago, I received a letter in the mail from a woman telling me they had gotten married. Enclosed was a wedding picture of the two of them. The date of the wedding was on the back of the picture. I was shocked to see that the wedding had taken place while we were together. What should I do? -- HURTING HEART IN OHIO
DEAR HURTING HEART: Send her a thank-you letter, tell her you won't be seeing her husband again in this life and write him off. And one more thing: Be grateful she clued you in, because if she hadn't, you could still be wasting time with this two-timing liar.
