you say

I WOULD like to reply to the lady whose partner can’t seem to sever ties with his estranged wife (Dear Coleen, June 1).

It would appear that he is with you in body but would go back to his wife in a heartbeat. He clearly hasn’t committed to you and I doubt he ever will, as his heart seems to be with his wife.

You need to decide what is best for you and how you think you can get further down the road in this very odd relationship, which is founded on lying and cheating.

Maybe it’s payback time. Garry Larkin
