My boyfriend has been living a double life

MY BOYFRIEND and I have been together for 10 years and we have a three-year-old daughter. We have been living apart as I was studying and he works in Johannesburg.

MY BOYFRIEND and I have been together for 10 years and we have a three-year-old daughter. We have been living apart as I was studying and he works in Johannesburg.

He visits me once a month and when we are together everything is wonderful. I have been saying that now that I have finished my studies I would like to move to Johannesburg, but he keeps finding excuses why I shouldn't join him.

One weekend I went to visit unexpectedly, only to find that his friend lives at the address where I was told my boyfriend lived. I discovered that my boyfriend has been living with another woman for the past three years and that they have a child. He said he doesn't love this other woman but cannot leave because she is pregnant again.

He says he wants me to wait for him until after the baby is born. -Betrayed

Only you can make this decision but I don't think you should wait for him. He is a liar and a cheat. Will you be able to trust him? I understand that it will be hard for you to get over your boyfriend but it is possible with the support of your family and friends.

He will have to help you maintain your child but do you really want to settle with a man who has so many complications in his life? Concentrate on your work and improving your life.
