Dear Mimi,
While I was in university in Ireland five years ago, I met a Nigerian lady at a church service. After the service, we went to lunch together and got along so well that we ended up in bed that same night. In the morning, the lady told me she was not interested in me past this and refused to give me her address or number.
I was heart-broken and spent many years hoping to see her anywhere in Ireland. I moved back to Nigeria after school and now engaged to a beautiful lady. Our wedding is in September.
Last week I took my fiancée to the airport to pick up her elder sister. I was shocked to see the elder sister was the same lady I met and loved all those years ago in Ireland.
The sister doesn’t seem to remember me but seeing her has triggered all these feelings I buried inside and I don’t know what to do. Should I break my engagement and see if I can get a real chance with my love from the past?

Dear Stuck In the Past,
Leave the past in the past. She didn’t want you then even after sleeping with you and made sure you never found her and thus will probably still not want you know, especially since you are engaged to her younger sister. Do not approach her or break up your engagement. You need to become more emotionally mature and focus on your future with the fiancé you have spent real time with growing to know and love each other. I wish you well.
Love,
Mimi
