Dear Nurse Ansalong:
I'm having the ever present boy trouble. I've been in a long distance relationship for a couple of months. I love the guy, but he lives about 5 hours away by car, and I haven't seen him since New Year's Eve. As I said I love him, but there's a whole new problem! I met this other guy, and he's totally awesome. Another plus is that he's here, now. I know I can't string Arron (that's the long-distance guy) like that, and I don't want to lead the new guy on. Any advice?

Split, what you're going to need to decide is who your feelings are stronger for. This new guy might be closer to you, but if you feel the stronger emotions towards the long-distance guy, then you should stick with the first relationship. Before you make any final decisions, you should try to find out how the new guy really feels about you. If all he's feeling is infatuation about you, you could wind up breaking up with Arron just to have the new guy decide to do the same to you. As you mentioned, you should definately be honest with whomever you want to break up with once you've made your decision. If something like this goes on for too long, you could wind up with it hurting both relationships. Whatever happens, I hope that you make the right choice.
