Dear Catie,
Hi, I’m Juliet; I’ve always been a big fan of yours, I’ve never had a big enough problem to write to you but these past few days I have gone from single 13 year old to a married woman and I’m very unsure if this is the possible source of my problems. My lover, Romeo, is a charmer for sure; we met at my family’s ball. The ball was set up to mingle and find a potential husband for me and I found Romeo, he is so wonderful and kind. He was not supposed to be there but since I stayed inside most of the time I did not know who he was. He has such experience in relationships from what I can see. I feel almost distressed by the fact that I don’t see him from long periods during the day because he managed to attract me without any problems… if he can do that, is it possible that he’s going to other women? Or am I overly stressed? I wish he would have stayed with me for longer times. I have never felt like this before. Not only is Romeo a charmer but he is also suppose to be my enemy in which I hate, yet I truly feel like I love him. Is it wrong to have such emotion towards an enemy? On the day of our wedding there was two deaths in which Romeo was apart of, the Prince of Verona took pity and spared Romeo his life but only to have him banished from Verona. This deeply depresses me because I have lost both my lover and cousin forever. In hopes to make me content my father has arranged a marriage for me and some horrible man, Paris. My whole family has turned on me saying I should marry this man because he will be faithful. Should I wed this man and forget my dear Romeo? I truly need advice for this and very soon.
Sincerely,
Juliet
