Hello Tyra,
My name is Meg. I need your advice and/or favor to ask of you. Okay, here it goes. I am 25 years old and have two children. I have a five year old girl and a four year old boy. They are my world! I am a substitute teacher during the day and I go to school at night. I have been married for five years now to a wonderful man. He is handsome, patient, sweet and a terrific father. We met and started dating in high school and got married our freshman year old college cause of the pregnancy of our first born. He is a fire fighter and my best friend. Our first year of marriage was very tough since we were both so young. He was hardly ever around and just partied with his friends. I knew he was not ready to be a husband or a father so I didn’t blame him. The second year was tough as well. We were both growing and coming into our own and struggling to make it. This wasn’t in the plans for either of us. That year we separated. I moved out. It wasn’t too long before we got back together. This was short lived and we separated again. I could not move out right away so we lived together, but did not consider ourselves together. Mind you, we hardly ever argued and almost never yelled it was more like we were roommates or brother and sister. We had stopped being intimate for quite sometime but were still best friends. It was at that time that I became a police officer with the local police department. There I met a man. He was 34 years old and amazing. It was love at first sight. From the day we met til the day it ended we were bonded. He is also an officer. He is divorced with an energetic, gorgeous daughter. He unfortunately has a very rough relationship with his ex-wife. Anyhow, I became his girlfriend and moved out and got my own apartment. We were in love. Completely. I met his daughter and he met my kids. My kids loved him as well. I then moved in with him and his daughter. This whole time, I am not divorced and my ex is still a big part of my life. Him and I had become co-dependent on one another throughout the years. He would call all the time and want to hang out all the time. My new boyfriend was very understanding of this but it still hurt him. My ex and my current boyfriend at the time got along great, however, it was almost too good to be true on how well this was going. My new boyfriend had already met my family and we had decided we wanted to get married. At this time, my ex started really wanting me back and begging me to try again for the kids and the family. I felt bad and had thought we had never really given the marriage a real try since the first year was so tough and we were so young. I told my current boyfriend, we were together for seven months, that I was going back to my ex husband. It was hard. VERY HARD. And we tried, my ex husband and I, but we couldn’t get back what we had. We were still just like brother and sister. After awhile, I met another officer and dated him for a short time. Like, three months. He was a good guy but, It was a bad relationship and it was the reason I left the force. At that time, the only person I could think of to console me, the only person that would not leave my mind, was my previous cop boyfriend. I told him how much I missed him and loved him and we got back together. I truly believe he is my soul mate…I truly believe that he was made for me and I for him. He is my happiness…my peace…the love I have for him is so overwhelming that its almost too much to handle if I dwell on it. We got back together and we were terrific. At this time, I was still living with my ex husband. I filed for divorce. However, my ex husband wanted to get back together again. He begged and cried. He is a good man. My family loves him, my kids love him, I love him, even my boyfriend at the time loved him. He made it clear that he did not want me to move out again and he thought we could work it out. Like I said before we didn’t argue it was not a terrible relationship, just an unhappy one. My current boyfriend, had to talked to my dad who had suggested that maybe he let my ex and I alone to work things out without him in the picture and then if it didn’t work , he would more that approve of him being with me. But, since technically I was still married and also we have strong church beliefs that he should leave us be. Well, he did just that. He had brought up that my ex was a good man and maybe I should try without any interference to work it out. Then one day he just disappeared and stopped calling. This was eight months ago….I have not seen, talked, texted, emailed…him since then. I don’t blame him. Maybe he got tired of waiting for me to completely let go of my past. I now live with my husband and we have been trying very hard to work on our relationship. My family is pleased, and my church friends claim I am doing the right thing, and all is well I suppose. From the outside looking in it almost looks like a perfect American family. It is on the inside too…just not inside me. I miss my previous boyfriend. That is an understatment . I long for him…I cry myself to sleep. I cry when Im driving…when Im in the shower, in the bathroom at work, etc… My every thought is of him and I miss him so. I hurt. I feel that he is the one for me. He makes me smile, he makes me laugh, he makes me feel great about being me….we have so much in common….he is amazing and I love him for all that he is. I pray every night to God that I let him go so that I can move on with my family and I pray for his happiness. I try not to cry in front of my husband. I love him as well. Differently, but a great deal. He is supportive and tells me that he sees it in my eyes…and he just hopes that one day I love him the way I love my ex boyfriend. Wow…. I know that I am a lucky woman to have a man who would stand beside me through all this and still want me. I don’t take that for granted and my family reminds me all the time on how lucky I am that the situation didn’t turn out far worse. I am trying to do the right thing and I smile for the public but behind close doors I am in love with another man. My heart wont let go…I won’t let go. Perhaps I’m hoping he will come back again….I don’t want to hurt my family again or my children. Cause they did grow very attached to him and they ask for him and talk about him. I miss his daughter as well. Her and I got quite close. Him and I were so dynamic together! We had so many plans….we wanted to travel…especially to Paris. We were spontaneous…we would dance in the middle of the street….we would be complete goofballs no matter who was watching…he completed me. After we had broken up I got his name tattooed on me. He does not know that I even have that. But, when we were together I had promised him I would. I need to cover it up, it obviously is disrespectful to my husband since we are back together. But, I can’t bring myself to do it. My husband and I are good. Still no intimacy…still just best buddies. It’s good. I am just in love with another man. My husband is such a good man, he truly is. My husband and I had even talked about having a wedding. We have never had one. But I can’t go through with it. Not yet. I don’t have closure. I even have the dress and everything….sigh. I feel so guilty for not being able to move on or let go. Should I follow my heart or do what is right? It’s been over two years since I have met the man of my dreams…but now that’s all he is…just in my dreams. It’s not fair to my husband….should I just let time pass and in time it will go away….? I’m very confused. I don’t even know why I am writing someone I don’t even know. Guess I just wanted to talk to someone who would not judge me. I love him…but I love my family more…..I don’t even know if he would even take me back. I don’t know if he has a girlfriend already or if he still loves me. I don’t necessarily want to be on your show…would just like some advice.
Thank you….a fan of yours…Meg.

Well, Tyra I am 19 years old and I live in San Antonio, Tx. I attend college at the University of Texas at San Antonio where I major in Criminal Justice, I know that a lot of girls probably wish this, but I truly want to be a model, it has been my biggest dream. The only thing is I'm 5'1'', not exactly the idea height for a model. I wanted to audition for Americas Next Top Model but when I saw the required height you need to be that ended it right there. I wish there could be a Modeling show for short girls.

Hello tyra I will like to write a book on my life experiment growing up in ny state coming from an alcoholic family dealing with a learning disability and how i had to deal with it as a child and teenager and not really knowing anything about life until i moved from the annoying city i grew up in and how i'm dealing with everything today and how I found out why i had so many problems and was their ever a way out.

I have always wanted to be a fashion designer. If you take a look at me you would probably ask me what made me think fashion designer.

My wardrobe consists of scrub uniform tops and jeans, and that's on my days off. I believe that garment is much more than a look, it's a feel and an understanding of what feels right to the individual. I used to wear designer this and that but would act like a loser because I felt like one. you can't put a designer label on low-self esteem. Now I found that It shouldn't matter what others call fashion, style, "the look" , what's in or out. If you feel good in a garment and live through that that becomes your ready wear, for everyday of the year!

Dear Tyra,

My wish is to hang out with my favorite male singer, Chris Brown for a day. When he was Chicago for his concert i really wanted to go but i couldn't because my mom didnt have the money to send me.

If i got my wish i would be one of the luckest girls in the world.

Love
Nadija♥

Hi Tyra, I love you show especially with Steve Harvey as the Co- Host ( great idea, for a male point of view). You asked a question on you website in Refrence to something I wanted to do, I live in Houston Texas but I would so love to move to another city such as Atlanta where the employment oppertunites are great I don't mind working I would just love the oppertunity to prove to myself I am 28 years old and it is past time for me to this I just need a little boost in the right direction. I would really love to start over with a clean slate with a total make over to start my new life. What should I do?

Hi Tyra my name is Latoyia and my dream would be to be in a soap opera! I love the Young & the Restless. I always think and tell my sisters I would really like to act on this show! Can you make any of this happen Tyra! I also would like to say you are an amazing and successful woman and I love your shows! Thank you!

Hi Tyra,

I loved the episode where you had the lady on there from the "What not where show" anyways, I have alot of things that I've always wanted to do. Some are freaky and others are not. I think one of the main things I'd like to do is get a prettier smile to take pictures and smile and have the confidence i know i have deep down inside, but i don't let shine, because of my oddly shape teeth. I have children and I don't want to raise them up with a bad smile and I don't want to hear my own kids say "mommy whats wrong with your teeth are they broke" You know kids can say the darnest things. I think that would hurt me the deepest. I'd also like to have a honeymoon with my hushand somewhere where we would be close to a beach ,eventhough I can't swim lol, and I'd like to rock his world so to speak. aI'd liket to show him all the love he wants and make some of his fantasy's come true. I'd like to show him why I LOVE HIM SO MUCH. And thank him for all he has done for me and for putting up with me. We are newly weds partially. We got married on the 12th of april 2007. We didn't have a wedding because he was training to go to Iraq. Therefore we've been separated most of our marriage and our two years relationship. We didn't have a honeymoon either. Our marriage is not like most. We love one another dearly and want the best for one another, that's why we can deal with some of the things we haven't done since we've been married. I don't wonna bore you to death so i'mma let you go.I'll be watching your show as much as I can if i'm awake, because I'm in the late stages of my pregnancy so I get sleepy early. ttyl Love ya take care.

Sincerely ,
Mary
