Dear Breakup Girl,

I went out with someone who was a very close friend of mine for almost two years. He's 7 years younger and just before he turned 30 he said that he needed sometime for himself, not have to report to anyone, bla bla. Because of our friendship we stayed in contact and now for the past 8 months have been sleeping together even though he's been dating other women. He says he still has feelings for me but doesn't know what he wants in life. I'm 37 years old, I've done all the travelling & partying I've wanted and am now ready to settle down and thought this was the guy for me. In the last couple of weeks we've spent quite a bit of time together and I've been asking him a lot of questions about this other girl he's dating. He claims that they are just friends but I'm starting to wonder. I've known him for over 10 years and he is a decent and kind man, but he hasn't been acting himself. It's now almost a year since our breakup and I haven't been able to stop thinking about him. What do I do? Do I believe him when he says there's nothing going on between him and this other woman? If there's nothing going on why is she the one that he goes out to dinner with, or to movies and I'm just the one he's having sex with? Am I being just one big sucker?

Dear MM,

It would be so much more delicate for me to put you on the Breakup List than it would for me to say Yes.

Love,
Breakup Girl
