I trusted her with my darkest secretBy Amy Kean and John D. Schwartz
Q: DEAR AMY VS. JOHN: I
used to have an amazing relationship with my boyfriend's Mom, Liz, until she completely betrayed me! I'm 26, and I've been dating my boyfriend for almost three years. He still lives at home with his single mom, and I go over to his place a lot to hang out. His mom's only 45, and I've always thought she was really funny, cool, and sweet. We all got along so well that often Liz would come out with us to movies, dinner and even night clubbing! (I've never gotten along with my own mom at all so I was really happy to spend time with her.) I always assumed she liked me because she'd say cute things to her son, like, "You'd better put a big ring on
her finger before some other smart guy does." I tried really hard to make her like me too, often buying her DVDs of movies she might like, and
never forgetting to buy her nice birthday and Christmas gifts. Then, about three weeks ago, Liz asked me out (alone) for Mexican food. I guess I had a few margaritas too many because I ended up confessing my biggest secret, one I've
never told her son: I worked as an exotic dancer for a couple of years after high school. At the time, Liz just laughed it off, saying, "Don't worry Honey; your secret's safe with me... now that you're getting your college degree, all that's behind you."
BUT right afterward, my boyfriend started blowing me off, not returning my texts, calls or e-mails. When I confronted him, he finally admitted, "My mom says you used to be a stripper
and you drink too much, OK?!" I'm so upset! I trusted her, and I wanted to marry him. Any advice?
