Dear Breakup Girl,

I need advice on how to deal with my hypocrisy / jealousy. I'm about to renew an affair with a married man (Guy A). At the same time, I just got out of a casual sex relationship with Guy B. I'm totally in love with Guy A; and I only have slight feelings for Guy B. Guy A knows about Guy B; Guy B never knew the true extent of my relationship with Guy A.

Guy B and I recently broke things off because he's about to embark on a yearlong world tour. He leaves in a few weeks and already he's sleeping with someone else. Also, it's understood that if he has the need to, he will be sleeping with whomever when he's on his trip.

I know I'm about to sleep with Guy A again but at the same time I can't help feeling jealous about Guy B having one last fling before he leaves. Plus, I happen to know that he'll be hooking up with a female friend while he's overseas and I know the electricity is developing between them.

So here's the hypocrisy: I feel "justified" (for lack of a better term) in my developing affair with Guy A, yet a part of me can't help feel that Guy B "should" be faithful to me!!! It sounds ridiculous, I know. But how do I get over this?

Dear Wondering,

Easier quipped than done, but: you will get over this when you get over the idea that when it comes to love and romance, "this" is as good as it gets.

Love,
Breakup Girl
