Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I met a sweet musician at a local event. I went for drinks with him after. He was sexy and irresistible. We went to my place and made love. He stayed all weekend.

Then he left my house and went home to his wife and children! I found out because one of my best friend’s boyfriends knows the guy.

Apparently, he treats his wife like this all the time. I called him and yelled at him: “How could you do this, you %$@#*?” and he said he thought I knew. Does he think he’s so famous in this town everybody knows about him? I’m wondering if I should call his wife. What do you think? — Tricked, Winnipeg

Dear Tricked: Since this guy sleeps around so much, you would be better off to save your breath, call the doctor for an appointment and get checked for sexually transmitted infections. Perhaps he and his wife have an open marriage, or maybe she just puts up with him. You only had one “date” with him, so don’t feel you must get involved with his wife and family.

Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I’m falling into a pit of despair because my boyfriend has gone away to university and he’s not calling me. I only call him, and he’s short with me and can’t wait to get off the phone.

Do you think he’s finished with me? We had unprotected sex the night he left. I found out this morning I’m not pregnant. He’s coming home for Thanksgiving and staying a few extra days. How should I handle this. Please help! — Kicked to the Side? Tuxedo

Dear Kicked to the Side: College guys who really love their girlfriends back home don’t go away and not call them. Ask him today if this romance is over for him. Don’t be sweet and sexy to try to win him back. There are wonderful guys right here in Winnipeg for no-distance love, affection and sex, seven days a week. Who needs long-distance negligence?

Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I completely agree with your advice to that young cowgirl (Lonely and Scared to Lose My BF) whose boyfriend wants her to get rid of her horse. My advice is to saddle up, leave him in his own dust and ride off into the sunset. I have personal knowledge of the devastation one can feel if they surrender their pet due to pressure from a potential mate.

My friend loved her horse and mirrored the enthusiasm and her love of the country lifestyle your reader expressed. Her fiancé was jealous of her love for her horse. One day she arrived home to find he had put her horse and tack up for sale! The new buyer arrived, and in a complete state of bewilderment and shock, she said goodbye to her four-legged love. She was miserable.

Once married, she quickly realized his infatuation for vehicles trumped his marital presence. He had his cars, and she was miserable and horseless. My advice is to stay true to your passion. There are so many horse clubs to get involved with, and she should seriously explore them. She will find a lot of like-mindedness there. I truly wish her happy trails as she keeps cinching up her saddle. — Horse Lovers are Stable People, Manitoba

Dear Horse Lover are Stable People: She married that jerk? That was one weak-willed woman. She should have put a stop to that sale when she got home, and if that didn’t go over, she could have called the police and told them her boyfriend had essentially stolen her horse and was selling it without permission.

If she had refused to go ahead and marry that creep, she would have had her self-esteem and her horse.

No one should give up a loved one — animal or human — to marry a person who is demanding that happen. In this case, the boyfriend committed a crime, and she could have nailed him for it.
