Dear Diana,
I am in a relationship with a guy who has a drinking problem. He is abusive and goes berserk when drunk including sleeping around with other women. As I love him, I have been turning a blind eye. I recently met another guy who is caring and loving. He proposed to me as he wants to marry me. I know that I have no future with the first guy. Should I just go by my heart this time?

Dear Janice,
Why do you even have to make a choice? Isn't it clear that you are being abused in the relationship, but still holding on. You know the guy is not going to change, so why even give it a chance? Now that you have found love again and a guy who cares, move on. What you are doing is the right thing as this man just does not care for you nor respects you. It's been a while that you have patiently borne his abuses, there is nothing left in this relationship except pain. It is better that you begin anew with this new guy.
