Hey there, time traveller!

Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I’m very sad and alone tonight — my young wife has finished packing and left the house. The rooms echo. She says she wants to be single again after just a short time married. I didn’t want our expensive leather furniture we got as a wedding present, so I just gave it to her for her new apartment.
I knew from the start she was too young to be married, but I loved her so much. I’m not nearly as young as she is. I’m almost 30 and ready to settle down, but she wanted her freedom back so badly and I just loved her so much that I wanted what she wanted, even though it was/is painful for me.
I told her she’s welcome back any time in the next year. Should I have left that door open? Does it make it easier for her to take the time off without worrying about losing my love? What do you think?
— Sad and Worried Guy, Winnipeg
Dear Sad and Worried:: Rrrrrr — the Marge Simpson growl of disapproval is rumbling in my throat. Take back that free pass, my friend. That was a big mistake. You don’t reward someone who dumps you with a year’s freedom and an option to come back. She took your heart and stomped on it; your offer came out of sheer desperation. Before saying anything, you needed time to change the locks, cry out your pain and humiliation and then rear up and get mad.
So phone her and tell her that crazy deal is off and that you weren’t thinking straight when you said those words. And this week start seeing a relationship counsellor or a psychologist and get someone to help you put your head back on your shoulders as quickly as possible.
