My boyfriend and I have been going out for three years and although we talk about getting married, I'm really bored with him.

I've been on the lookout for someone else and

am now attracted to a man I work with.

I know he's married with kids, but he's always chatting to me and walks me to the bus after work.

I really like him and would like him to be more interested in me as I'm sure we'd be perfect together.

FIONA SAYS: What are you asking me here? Do you want me to advise you on how to cheat on your boyfriend or to suggest ways you can break up a family?

Sorry, but I'm not prepared to offer you help with either of these options and neither one of these men deserves the cavalier treatment you seem prepared to dish out.

If your relationship with your boyfriend is over, end it, because it sounds like all you're doing is stringing him along until someone better comes along.

If you want genuine happiness, forget about this married man.

Even if you had a relationship with him, you'd probably only be a diversion from his marriage.

Married men with children generally struggle to leave their wives.

I'd venture to suggest that you're better off on your own until you can learn to respect other people's feelings.
