I am frustrated. I have been living with a man for the past 2 years and we both have a child together. He doesn't love me anymore and is in love with someone else. He loves her because she is a 'browning'. He told me he doesn't love black women.

He works six days per week. Sunday is his day off, but he doesn't stay at home. She calls him regularly, telling him to come to see her. Because of that, he doesn't come home after work or comes home early in the mornings. I don't know what to do.

Dear M.G.,

Has this man suddenly discovered that you are not a browning? When he wanted to have your body, wasn't he conscious that you were not a browning? I hope that you are not going to allow what he is saying to damage your self-esteem. Do not stay at his house and mope. End the relationship with him. He is trying to belittle you. Find a place and go there. Take your child with you. He has declared that he does not love you anymore. Don't try to beg him to love you.
