Dear Pastor,
I am a 23-year-old woman who has been in love with my boyfriend of six years. Two years ago, I found out that he has been sleeping with my cousin. He told me about it also. The worst thing about it is that I am still having sex with him because he is the only man I love. I am hurting so much. I can't stop crying. He made it even worse when he showed me pictures of him and her and expects me to suck it up.
I don't have anyone to talk to about the problems that I am having. If I were to tell you everything it would take all week. My cousin is my father's niece. She is 19 and he is 30.
Please tell me what to do. I will do anything you say.
K.B., St. Andrew, Jamaica
Dear K.B.,
End the relationship with this man. He is not good. Your cousin also is not a good girl. This man doesn't have any good intention towards you. If he had, he wouldn't be sleeping with your cousin, nor would he show you pictures of both of them.
I understand how difficult it is for you to end the relationship because you have never had another man and you have been with him for six years.
Regardless of what he tells you, you should not stay with him because it is likely that he will continue to have an intimate relationship with your cousin.
You are going to be very uncomfortable with your cousin knowing that both of you are having sex with the same man and, if you continue with this man, you may suffer from depression. Let him go his way. Take care of yourself.
Pastor
