Actually, my problem is more complicated. I met Bob seven years ago when I was in college. He became my first boyfriend. I am a late bloomer, so at that time I was still quite ugly. Bob was not so good looking either unfortunately he s not a late bloomer). We never had a very deep relationship. After graduation I began exercising and caring about my looks. I changed myself from an ugly duckling to a Snow White. Bob was pleased by my changes. He sent me flowers and cards, but somehow I didn't feel like Bob was right for me anymore. Bob sometimes got mad that I didn't respond to his gifts and yelled at me. One time he even hit me. It has been four years since I graduated from college. During this time I have wanted to break up with Bob, but I just don't have the heart. After all, he has spent so much time and money on me. On one hand I feel I should be loyal to Bob, but on the other hand I just can't stand this ugly man with bad breath and body odor (i'm sure I can do better than Bob).I never seem able to say "no" to Bob. He begs and begs until I give in. When he calls for a date, I always end up saying "OK." Sometimes I feel like I am leading him on. Last week I finally decided to tell him that it is over between us, but I ended up agreeing to go with him to a movie. After the movie a terrible thing happened: he proposed! He made me take the ring. If I don't say anything, we'll be married in June. It would be so easy just to go along with everything. After all, Bob cares for me so much. I just don't know what to do. Sincerely, Confused in Chicago. Comprehension: 1. Describe the two people in this letter. 2. Describe the problem. 3. Describe the background of the problem. Discussion: 1.
