Dear Breakup Girl,

My boyfriend is a popular disc jockey where we live, and it's very hard for me to separate work from home. He's not as bad as Howard Stern or anything, but it's enough to make me worry constantly. He has hundreds of girls calling him every night at work, and some of them will just come right out and ask him for sex and everything. It's horrible the way these girls talk to him, but anytime I say anything, he gets mad and tells me it's his job. I wish I had a dollar for every time I've heard that one.

I have a reason to be jealous, too. He cheated on me in February, and it nearly killed me. I'm the very first girl he's ever told he loves and the first one he's ever seriously dated or lived with, so I know he loves me, but this jealousy is driving us apart because I resent him so much. Please help me.

--Nicole

Dear Nicole,

Hey! If you had a dollar for every time he said it's his job, then hearing him say that could be your job! Just a thought.

Now. BG, who is frankly amazed that Howard Stern and his wife lasted as long as they did, does think that well, if that's part of his job, sigh, that's part of his job. BG also will allow that perhaps mad on the outside is actually guilty and defensive (which is his punishment) on the inside. And yes, BG does believe in post-cheating rehab.

Part of that job, however, is to be contrite -- and behave accordingly. But even if he's 100.1% faithful now, the fact of the matter is that when he cheated before he forfeited his FCC license to dismiss any future suspicions/concerns. He may have a jillion listeners, Nicole, but if he persists in not being one for you, then I'd say your call letters should be WALK.

Love,
Breakup Girl

PS You could also tune in to Lessa's predicament.
