Dear Christine,
MY BOYFRIEND and I have been together for two years. Within that period, he has cheated on me several times.
He hardly spends time with me. In fact, most of the times he turns up it’s either for money or quick sex. I feel obligated to give him both, since he is the father of my eight-month-old son. After the sex and money, he leaves right away and I do not see him again for another week or so, even though he would call.
I am 20 years old and he is 24. I believe I have a whole life ahead of me. However, I am not sure if to throw in the towel or hope for the best. I believe he will change, but deep down inside, I know I’m not getting the best deal right now. I promise to do whatever you tell me to.

Dear B.E.,
Will you really do what I tell you to? Here’s my advice: dump this serial cheater. He is using you to the utmost.
You are right in saying you have a whole life ahead of you. I am also sure there is someone out there who will treat you a whole lot better.
You don’t owe him anything. Just make sure you pay the court a visit and secure child maintenance for your son. After that has been resolved, don’t look back. Keep moving forward.
– CHRISTINE
