Dear Bubby,
I feel so foolish for telling you this but before I met my wife, I went out with a divorced woman with a 3 year old daughter. I absolutely loved them both and our relationship was exciting. At the time I didn't have much money and wasn't exactly husband material in terms of financial stability.
The relationship failed mainly for these reasons. This woman didn't have much money either. Although I believe that this woman really loved me, she needed something beyond a loving man with a lot of promise. Eight years later I am happily married to another woman. I am now 45 and have been married 6 years. I consider myself extremely lucky to have met my wife. She is beautiful and intelligent, rich... and gives me everything. I am very successful now too.
For some reason, as much as I love my wife, I feel the girl with the kid was my soul mate. I still love them to this very day and find myself pining for them. I feel guilty for my feelings because I didn't have very much before and now I have everything because of my wife. I feel selfish but love can be weird. I also get the feeling that she thinks of me. I might be projecting but I think more like telepathic. I miss her a lot.
Don't get me wrong, I really love my wife and our marriage is good and strong. But what do you think? This other woman is now remarried. But like I said, I think she felt it too. I mean the love between us. But she had to think of her daughter.
Tell me I am a shmuck and to get with the program.
Sincerely,
Heart of it all

Dear Bubby,
I'm 17 years old and I've been with my boyfriend for 2 years. Everything has been going great. I'm pregnant and I dropped out of school. I feel like my life is going down hill. But lately it's been looking up.
The only thing wrong is that my boyfriend seems so immature. All he cares about is himself. Well, that's what it seems to me. Maybe I'm just being to sensitive because I'm pregnant. But he always thinks about himself and it's like he only wants everything for himself. Like we went shopping and I went shopping for the baby and he went and got like $150 worth of stuff for him. I didn't get anything for myself. Now today he wants me to ask my dad to take him to the store for another pair of shorts because one pair of shorts was missing.
What should I do?
From,
Young Mommy
