writes: I met a man about 4 years ago and we spent about two weeks together. I absolutely fell in love with him, and he claims he felt the same way about me. But he lives on the other side of the country. He soon had to return home, and I found myself able to forget about him for about a year. During that time, I met another man and I've been in a wonderful relationship with him for the last 2 years. The problem is, that as soon as I met this new guy, I received a letter from the first guy proclaiming his love to me. Everything I felt a few years before came flooding back, and we began sending letters, e-mails and talking on the phone. I would never leave my boyfriend for someone who lives so far away, but the guilt that I feel knowing that I've always and will always love someone more than my boyfriend is slowly killing me. What should I do?

I think the best thing would be to try and forget it again. You probably have such strong feelings because what you had with this first guy is an unfinished story, making it all the more exciting. If you talk to your boyfriend about it you run the risk of him becoming upset and it could lead to a breakdown in your relationship. So try to forget first. This first guy you've only known in a fantasy way, having only met him once, for two weeks. It is best if you try and forget this, and if you really really can't, you will have to talk to your boyfriend about it.
