Q: Dear Great Scott! I am engaged to a man but have been unhappy with the relationship for a while. Well, recently a guy who makes me happy and has been in my corner for a while told me that he LIKE-likes me, not just likes me. Well, I LIKE-like him too and would be much happy spending the rest of my life with him.
But I don’t want to hurt my current love any more than I have. What the heck is a woman to do?

SCOTT: A woman is to do the right thing for a woman, that’s what a woman’s to do!
To stay with someone only to spare their feelings is an insane waste of time for both of you and the relationship will become even more painful as time goes on. It’s time to be honest with your inner woman and make that change. Otherwise, all of this wasted time and dishonesty will combine to result in a less-than-satisfying future for you.
Break off the engagement and go for the guy you really want. People pass through your life for a reason and sometimes it’s just to pass.
