Dear Miriam: I fall for his lies; ADVICE.

Byline: DR. MIRIAM STOPPARD Noun 1. Stoppard - British dramatist (born in Czechoslovakia in 1937)
Sir Tom Stoppard, Thomas Straussler, Tom Stoppard

Dear Miriam,

If a man with a wife and no children is unhappy, why doesn't he leave her? I'm having a relationship with a man at work and he claims he doesn't love his wife.

I want to end our affair but he tells me he loves me and I'm being silly - yet he doesn't want anyone in the office to know in case his wife finds out.

He buys me expensive presents and says he cares about me, so I hang on.

Mandy

Dear Mandy,

Stop kidding yourself. He's a user and a skilful skil·ful

cheat. He's not going to leave his wife for you and things aren't going to change. Being a mistress Mistress, the feminine counterpart of master, may mean:

Mistress (lover)
Mistress (form of address)
An old-fashioned term for the lady of the house, especially one who is head of the household
A dominatrix in BDSM

only suits women who aren't looking for commitment in a relationship and that's not you. Find another job, run as fast as you can from him and don't look back.
