Dear Peace:

This man, your two month boyfriend has unfinished business that he needs to conclude, so he told you, in other words, before he can marry you: he has to buy a home for his ex wife and child, and that will take him two years. You just met this man two months ago- very recently. You don’t owe him to be in a relationship with him, and you don’t owe your friend (his roommate) to be in a relationship with him, and you don’t owe either one to wait 2 years so that he will marry you. It is your life, your body, your heart and mind- not this man’s and not your friend’s.

What do you want to do?
