I raised my three children alone while working a 40-hour week. Now that my youngest is 15 and the older two are out on their own, I decided to go out with a man I have known for five years. Harold accepted me, my relatives and friends.

We get along beautifully. I have been swept off my feet by Prince Charming. I have never been so happy. Except Harold never mentioned that he has been married for 27 years and has a large family with many grandchildren. I got a phone call from a woman named who told me that Harold is her husband.

She said she loves him, and begged me to end the relationship and tell him to go home. Itold him about the phone call. He deny any of it. He says their marriage has been over since 2000, but because they are wealthy, a divorce would be very expensive, so better they live together and go their separate ways. He wants our relationship to continue.

Abby, 45 years old and believe this has happened to me. brokenhearted. Please tell me what to do. Miserable in Massachusetts Dear Miserable: Harold may be wealthy, but it appears morally bankrupt. He may but he loves the status quo and his money more.

The longer you allow this relationship to continue, the harder be to make a new start and frankly, you deserve better. Write Dear Abby at www.dear abby.comor P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069. Dear Abby A perfect relationship, until the wife phoned Dear Amy: Ihave been divorced for a little more than a year now. I met a lady four weeks ago and she is wonderful.

To tell you how great she is, I had surgery to remove my appendix two weeks ago and she never left my side. She has showed me in every way that she is a special person. My problem is that I have come out of a terrible marriage and divorce. She is pushy about marriage and wants to be with me all the time. I have learned to be and do things on my own.

When she talks about marriage, I feel closed in. What should I do? Concerned Dear Concerned: If this womanis pushynow, imagine what she would be like if you caved in to her wishes. After only four weeks of dating, bringing up marriage is inappropriate. Because you and she seem to share the same values, you should proceed cautiously. Dear Amy: Idateda wonderful manfor a few months, but I was busy with schooland fighting demons of relationships past.

want to ruin our friendship, so I took some time to be alone. Last year I finished my degree. I started dating that man again four months ago and it has been great. Then he fell seriously ill, and not sure I want to continue with the relationship. I lost aboyfriend to illness two years ago, and not sure if I want to deal with the emotions again.

Now Confused Dear Confused: Iassume that your previous experience of losing a loved one has made you risk-averse when it comes to relationships, but relationships are often painful. You seem to want permission to dump this wonderful guy in his time of need, but you need permission. As you know, one aspect of being in control of your life is that you get to do what you need to do. I just guarantee that you feel bad about it later. Because your experience left you skittish about being in another risky relationship, you need to find a counselor with whom you can talk this through.
