Published on December 9, 2019, a reader sought advice on whether to continue a six-month relationship.
She had been dating a man with an eight-year-old son from a previous relationship, who initially promised to marry her but only maintained the relationship for three months.
As the relationship progressed, he became distant and lied to her, often declining her calls and telling her to stop disturbing him.
JUST BRENDA, a reader, responded by saying, "The writing is on the wall. If he wanted you, he would be clear. Now that he doesn’t, he’s trying to drive you away."
She advised the woman to stop disturbing him and to stop disturbing her own spirit, as the relationship was over due to his lack of honesty.
