Why do people stay in a loveless marriage?

Dear Friend,
Well, this had better not be a rebound affair. If it is, it just wouldn't be fair to this guy. That said, ask common friends to set you up on a date. What happens there, is up to you.

He says it's just meaningless sex!

Dear Diana,
I am in a long-distance relationship. My boyfriend says it is okay for him to have sex with call girls since it's just 'meaningless sex'. I begged him not to choose a call girl over me and my love. He refused. I feel really disgusted and dirty for falling for him and even going to the extent of begging him to choose me over call girls. I really sound pathetic. Do I have low self-esteem?

Dear Friend,
Yes, you do. To pine after and long for a guy who unabashedly clamours after easy lays, is a classic trait of low self-esteem. If he's so persistent about having meaningless sex, let him. Just tell him that if he does, he loses you. If he still persists, it will tell you what a class-A jerk he is. It does sound pathetic that you want him so badly. Woman up, girl! Dump him pronto!
