Dear Dipo,
 You are the first person am sharing this problem with, I graduated in January 2004 and went for the mandatory NYSC in march 10th 2005 and was deployed to Ebonyi state.
Â
  Prior to this time I had a girl I have always preferred to call my wife because of the traits inherent in her. No sooner had I resumed in Abakaliki than I met a girl, it first started as a joke but when she moved her things to my lodge I was to understand that I was in.
Â
Â
Whenever I traveled home my girlfriend complained that I was not giving her the due attention which was true, that led to the breaking up of that age long relationship. I was content that I still had someone to tenaciously hold onto.
Â
Reality started dawning on me when we were getting to the end of the service year. As am writing this I have lost both, though we still speak on phone with the service girl.
Â
To crown everything up I am yet to get a job that leaves me more confused. The reason for this piece is that my mind is still with my age long girlfriend which someone told me is in a new relationship. I am messed up and do not know what to do.
MR. NYSC
