DEAR ABBY: Three months ago, my longtime boyfriend, "Mark," broke up with me. We had planned to be married. It took me a long time to get back to being my old self.

Right after our breakup, Mark began dating his boss's daughter. I'll call her "Carrie." I accepted it because I care about Mark and want him to be happy.
My problem is, for the past month, Mark has called me frequently in the middle of the night to tell me he "misses me" and how much he "continues to love me." He's even said he still wants to marry me.
Every time Mark calls, he invites me to come over and sleep with him. I have refused because of Carrie. I feel sorry for her.
Abby, I cannot imagine being with a man who is still in love with someone else. Should I tell Carrie what Mark is up to -- or should I stay out of it? I am awaiting your reply. -- MARK'S EX
DEAR EX: The first thing you should do is fall on your knees and give thanks that you are no longer engaged to this two-timing user. If you are wise, you will stop all contact with him. That said, if you try to warn his boss's daughter, she will probably interpret it as jealousy and not believe you. She needs to find out about him on her own. And when she does, Mark will be looking for another job and another gullible woman.
