Question - (7 July 2015) 4 Answers - (Newest, 11 July 2015)
A female Nigeria age 41-50, anonymous writes:

Hello everyone. Been a while.

So here's the deal: I'm now in my mid thirties and very single. I've been happy about my life so far. I got out of a toxic relationship about 5 years ago and have not dated since then. I've been enjoying my freedom until the most amazing man came into my life early this year. He's simply everything I want /need in a man. He's super intelligent, has a crazy sense of humor, suave, caring, open, disciplined. He and I can rub minds in a way I have never been able to with someone else my entire life. In fact I see so much of myself in him, it's scary. He stands out among men and I'm afraid I'm falling for him. Thing is, I don't want to because he is in a relationship and I really don't want to catch feelings for someone who is not available.

We talk regularly and even though he hates phone calls he calls me and spends a lot of time talking to me. We can talk for hours and not get bored. He is so relaxed with me and tells me a lot of stuff. So you see, he is a total package. But he is taken.

People, I need your help! How do I get him put of my head? I don't want to become emotionally vulnerable, and I certainly won't come between him and his woman! I just need advice on how to forget about him and kill these feelings I have. I know I MUST NOT fall in love with him!!! We live in the same town so avoiding him is possible to a certain extent. Please help me out with mature advice, and save a soul :( ... Thanks so much.

Honeypie agony auntI agree with eyeswideopen, you NEED to cut the contact. You can be polite IF/WHEN you met him around town, but I would STIP with the phone-calls ,texting etc.

Trying to pretend that you CAN be a friend is not working out for you, so better just DROP it.

If you REALLY and TRULY respects his relationship, that IS the only option.

boo22 agony auntHi

Please think about what you are doing

Live a life and not a pattern

Your last relationship was toxic and now it looks like you are going the right way to step into another with a married guy

If you get involved the chances are it will end in heartbreak

You've not had a relationship for a while and I think your fantasy's are running a bit crazy about this guy

Hope you meet someone fabulous and single soon x

eyeswideopen agony auntYour only choice as I see it is to cut contact with him. The more you talk to him the more involved you are going to get. You will either hurt someone else (the girlfriend) or hurt yourself or both.
