Today’s Column: February 22, 2023

TT,

I have a new girlfriend and I really like her.  She is nice, kind, really friendly and a total fox.  She is fun to be with.  The thing that bothers me is that she still has photos of her old boyfriend in her apartment and on her phone which she barely tries to hide.  It’s kind of clear that she still likes him even though he dumped her for one of her friends.  I try to overlook it, but it’s just too much.  What advice do you have for me TT? (Brantwood, Ohio)

Brant,

You must accept the fact that you are most-likely a rebound relationship and she will dump you as soon as it suits her.  She may even be using you to make the other guy jealous and to get back together with him.  What you need to do is continue to date her, but also look for other women as well.  Put her on the back burner and drop it nonchalantly that you can’t see her because “Olga’s” having you over for dinner or whatever. No matter what you do, make it clear that she’s a side interest.
