He's Our Ex-Lover

Dear Prof,

You may call me Tammy. I'm writing to you not because I have a problem that I needed help with, but I have just this situation. And I would just like to hear your thoughts or your opinions about it.

I have been an avid follower and I know that your wisdom transcends the normal understanding of the average person. I also put so much value into it. I would just like to know how a man of your stature views my current situation.

I know that you are pro-heart kind of guy and it would really mean a lot to me if you could weigh in on my current state of affairs.

So here it is. I am currently seeing a guy. And we can say that this guy isn't just any guy. We can even call him a special guy. And that's because he's an old flame of mine back in high school. We were soul mates. When we were going out, it felt like we were in our own little world. We were on top of it. Nay, we were the only ones there that mattered.

But as they say, good things are bound to end. And we did. Some small things led to other things and we just drifted apart.

After we broke up, he got together with our common friend. It was okay with me, in fact, I was rooting for them. I know that they were both in good hands.

Years have passed and I was with them all throughout but again, good things seem to never last because they just decided to call it off. And this time, I think that I am inclined to try it again with the guy.

Yours,

Tammy

Response:

Beloved Tammy,

First off, I would like to thank you for reaching out to me. I could truly admit that your situation is something of interest. It's absolutely provocative and amusingly intriguing. Color me engrossed.

As I was reading your letter, the emotions and sentiments inside my chest and head were colliding and battling it out. You stirred quite a commotion inside of me. Dare I say, are you serious? Are you just not yanking my chains and trying to make a fool out of this old man? If you were, then nice try, but if you're dead serious. Then I am impressed.

What a turn of events that was. It looked to me like a plot of some fascinating prime-time television show. Something from the telly, something that I would surely not watch. Not because it's boring, but because it will infuriate me. I would be just be agitated watching it and I'd scream in front of the screen that no one in real life is as stupid as that. But then again, the reality is sometimes stranger than fiction.

And it was clear from your letter that my advice wasn't warranted but you are asking for my opinion and my say on the matter. Well, I have no right to judge your situation or anything like that but since you asked for it, the least I could do is give you an honest take on it.

That is really weird and it borderlines in dysfunctional relationships. From the very start, a normal person would distance himself or herself from his or her former lover when the lover became involved with another. But since you all thought that it was okay for you to not only linger around but to actively meddle with their relationship, I guess that's the root of all that's happening now.

But then again, every situation, just like every human being, it's somehow unique. If that works for you, then you go girl.

Our happiness should never depend on what society dictates to us. But personally, I wish that our happiness is bound to the legal walls. Lol.

In my personal opinion though, it's alright. If you are okay with it if he's okay with it, and if she's okay with it. Then I do not see any problem with it. But I would just like you to exercise extreme caution. I hope that you bear in mind that history may repeat itself anytime given the same set of events and attitudes. Also, if there are three people involved in a relationship, that's already one too many people in a relationship.

Love,

Prof.
