Dear Breakup Girl,

Eight weeks ago I wrote you a letter regarding my recent breakup with a wonderful guy. I was feeling guilty because I broke up with him for financial reasons. I'm a single mom and was going broke (half) supporting my ex. When I tried to submit the letter, it wouldn't go. As I was trying the 2nd time, the phone rang. Yep, it was him. He said he'd been working the last 6 months to get in better financial shape for our future. He was so sincere, and had made so many changes, that I went back to him. Now we share the bills equally, and are getting ahead already. We are engaged to be married, and I wonder if it had to do with the letter that never got sent. Well, thanks anyway.

-- Not Guilty Anymore


Dear NGA,

1. Who-HOOO! Congratulations.

2. All other second-timer wannabes: heads up! Don't just tell your re-intended that you've changed -- or, worse, that you will. Hint: proof helps. This gentleman may still lapse back into [in this case, financial] problems here and there, but he demonstrated a clear willingness to acknowledge and take them on. That's the difference.

3. You guys should still actually send your letters.

Love,
Breakup Girl
