Find a different man when you are out of jail

Opinion

Hey there, time traveller!

Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I’m a confused 27-year-old woman in jail caught in a love triangle. My husband, whom I love dearly, is in Brandon. I also have a lover in Winnipeg. I’m starting to have serious feelings for him. My lover treats me so good, gives me what I want when I want it and our lovemaking is amazing.

My husband, on the other hand, cheats on me and is physically abusive, but I still love him with all my heart. My lover in Winnipeg keeps telling me to come be with him when I get out. What do I do?

Dear Confused: Deal-breakers for a marriage include cheating and physical abuse, and you have both going on with your husband. This other fellow is offering you a different lifestyle and you’re getting serious. How about the “love” feeling with him? You don’t mention that word in connection with him.

As for your husband, whom you do love, you can’t always be with people you love, especially if they cheat and are abusive. Luckily you can love more than one person in a lifetime.

It may be time to try this new man, or to wait until you get out and look around for a third man — peek behind door No. 3 and check out a whole new world combining what you like in your husband and your lover. Neither one of these men seem to be the whole answer for you, though. Luckily, there are millions of men in the world and it only takes one great one. You’re still young enough to have a good choice of men if you get in shape, get a job and a get a good life going. Good luck!
