Dear Rosie, I find myself in a similar situation as Guilty Not in Love from last week's column. Note to her do it and good luck!! I too am living with my boyfriend and finally had the nerve to tell him that I can't continue living with him or being his girlfriend as I don't see a future for 'us'. I think I may have had an easier time because there is a guy that I liked that I work with and realized I could move on. Nothing has ever happened romantically between us but when I am with him I feel secure and safe and protected. This is the first time in my life that I feel this way and we have spent a lot more time together recently my question is now that I am single (even though it's only been a short time) and my boyfriend is currently in the process of leaving our house is it o.k. to see where this goes with my co-worker? I just don't want people or my ex to think that I ever cheated or left him for another person when in reality I just want to get to know him more and see where it goes? I just don't want to get a reputation for something that I am not. Sincerely, Worried in Texas A. Dear Worried in Texas, First of all the only opinion that matters about you is the one that you think of yourself. Does it really matter what other people think of you? Don't let other peoples perceptions affect your life. As long as you are happy with who you are and the decisions that you make each day then don't worry about others think. Be honest with your boyfriend so that there is no animosity and let him know that you are hanging out with a friend because that is all there is to it at this point. If this upsets him it would only be worse if you were hiding the truth because you are no longer together. Good Luck and keep me posted!
