'My guy has fallen for another girl...'

Dear Diana

Dear Diana,
I have been seeing this guy from Jabalpur for over a year now. Everything was going fine and I thought our relationship was for keeps. Last week, he gave me the biggest shock of my life by telling me that he had another girlfriend. I was so blinded by his love that I did not see it coming. I was devastated. I felt cheated and used. I love him so much and don't know why did he do this to me. He says he is attracted to this girl. How could he just dump me like this? It is just not fair. When I asked him for an explanation he said that I was a fool to think that he would be mine. I have been crying my heart out. What a fool I was to believe in him and trust him.

Dear Mareesha,
This man has taken you on a royal ride. You did not see it coming as you were blinded by his love. You gave him your everything and were serious about him. He however, had other things on his mind. He was with you for just a good time. As he was not serious about you, he has decided to dump you as someone else has caught his
fancy. It is going to be hard, so give yourself time. Try to build your confidence up, but keep moving on with your life. You need people around you who care about you and can cheer you up. Everything will remind you of him, but instead of wallowing in self-pity, the only way to come out of it is to blank him out of your life. Let him remain in the past. There is no point thinking about him or crying as this man did not deserve your love. Keeps yourself busy so that there is no time to reflect on what went wrong.
