Dear Annie: In 2015, I met a man through a dating website. We got together shortly after and I was enamored by him. For the next five years we seldom got together in person, but we had almost daily contact via texts and such. I didn’t mind this at first because I was overweight at the time and overwhelmed with caring for my parents, who have since died.
I stopped communicating with him in late 2020 because our relationship was going nowhere. Five months ago, in 2023, he got in touch with me, but it is just like before. Lots of excuses for not getting together, but constant texts, and explicit photos and videos. I learned through the grapevine that he is not married but has been dating someone for the last two years.

Why does a man do this, and what does it say about me that I allow it? We are not teenagers but both in our 60s. His real relationships tend to only last two to three years, and his exes have nothing good to say about him. — Wondering
Dear Wondering: If it didn’t work before and he has not changed his ways, then chances are you are wasting your time and it won’t work again. Run 100 miles from this guy.
