My love married elsewhere. Tell my parents or not?

Dear Diana,
I am 22 now. I was in a relationship with a boy for eight years. My family agreed to get us married but none of his folks were interested. Even so, my family accepted him. He ditched me. On May 8, he married another girl his family chose for him. He didn't even bother to tell me that he's getting married. When I confronted him about his marriage, he broke down and told me he was forced to marry that girl. I told him I'd accept him as my husband only if he left that girl for me in front of his parents. He flatly refused but told me that he wanted me in his life as his wife as well. The thing is, I want to start a new life and he isn't allowing me to do that. Another thing, my parents don't know that he's married. Should I tell them or hide it from them?

Dear Friend,
This lover of yours is up to no good. He wants you to be miserable. If he really loved you, he wouldn't be 'forced' into marrying someone else. Simply don't buy that line. And tell your parents about this recent development. Let them know what a slimeball he is. If he had even an ounce of decency, he'd not be able to stand and lie to you to your face. It cannot be anything else for the simple reason that if his family can bully him into doing something as extreme, they can bully him into doing anything.

I want her back!

Dear Diana,
A year back, I was in love with a girl I likd very much. Now she's with another guy. She never keeps in touch. I always remember her smiling face and sweet voice. I want her back in my life.


Name withheld on request

Dear Friend,
She wants you out of her life. That much is apparent. She can't have put it more clearly. By cutting off all contact with you, she's bluntly letting you know that it's over between the two of you. She has moved on and you should do the same.

My guy is really addicted to alcohol

Dear Diana,
As usual, I am in a problem again. The guy I love, works with me. He listens to whatever I say but is really addicted to alcohol and once he starts, he cannot stop. He won't even listen to his parents. I am really tense about him. He cannot control himself when drunk. I have no problems with him drinking but I just want him to keep to his limits. What should I do?



Kuku

Dear Kuku,
Well, try as you may, the addiction won't disappear overnight. You will have to work on ensuring that he doesn't take to the bottle at the least provocation. Try and cut down his supply and thereby, his intake. The only way he will stop drinking obsessively is if he sees what that does to a person. Introduce him to someone suffering from cirrhosis (due to excessive drinking) and he will gradually waneu00a0 off from the habit. Or at least, you can hope that it will scare him enough.
