Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I'm in my mid-20s and have no excuse for what I'm doing: I'm sleeping with my friend's divorced father behind everyone's back. But I'm not the lowest level of slut because nothing ever happened when he was still with his wife. We didn't even flirt.

Opinion

Hey there, time traveller!

Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I’m in my mid-20s and have no excuse for what I’m doing: I’m sleeping with my friend’s divorced father behind everyone’s back. But I’m not the lowest level of slut because nothing ever happened when he was still with his wife. We didn’t even flirt.

He’s a new man now. After the house was sold, he moved into my apartment block. He had a girlfriend at the time, but then they broke up. I knew he lived in the building, but didn’t look for him. I swim laps daily, however, and I met him in the pool. I had always thought he was kind of handsome, but he had daddy fat. Since the marriage ended, he has slimmed down and started pumping weights. He doesn’t look like anyone’s father now, unless we’re talking about David Beckham.

He finally invited me over for a drink after swimming to see his place, a gorgeous apartment. One thing just led to another, and I admit I started it. How do I get out of this when I am so hot for him? I really don’t want to say goodbye to this.

— Horrible Friend, Winnipeg

 

Dear Horrible Friend: You can’t have both the friend and her dad anymore. If it came out, it would mess up your friend’s head and hurt her deeply. She would hate you as only a person who has loved you can hate. So, now that you’ve had your fun and the cloak-and-dagger romance, stop now. If you get out of this before anyone finds out, your punishment is to live with the guilt of doing the deed, but not the guilt of messing up your girlfriend’s whole being.

And think about this: you might also want to back off being so close with her. You have betrayed her and are no longer a trustable friend she should be confiding in, especially about her father/your sex partner.
