Dear Pastor,

I am a 27-year-old woman who is madly in love with a policeman. He was a taxi driver before. I used to live with my child's father until I started dating this man. I love him more than my child's father, but he treats me badly. He cheated on me, but does not want me to cheat on him. I give him everything that he wants and there is nothing that I wouldn't do for him. Pastor, I just want your advice. I was going to have a baby for him, but I lost it. From the first day I met him, he has been cheating on me, but I still love and care for him. He keeps telling me that he is not doing anything to hurt me. The way I love him, I will kill him, then kill myself. We have been apart for two weeks and it's driving me crazy.

I have been going to rum bars to get him off my mind. I am trying to get over him, but he keeps calling me. No one in my family likes him, but I don't care. Everyday my mother tells me to break up with him because he means me no good, but he keeps telling me that he loves me. Everyone has something bad to say about him. I don't know why.

Pastor, please tell me what to do because I still love him.

M, St. Catherine, Jamaica

Dear M,

You are not listening to anybody because you believe that you are in love with the greatest man on earth. Even when he lies to you, your love for him remains the same. You would prefer if this man will stick with you only, but you know that this man has many other women. He may deny it but you know better. Regard-less of what others say, your love for him is strong.

Well, I am putting it to you that I am not here to say anything negative about him. You have already decided to stay with him and only God can change your mind. The only thing I am prepared to do is to pray for you and wish you well.

Pastor
