Hands off my man!

Dear Killa,

I am a regular reader of your column and I see where you have helped many people. I am currently living in Maryland. I have been with my boyfriend since high school and all my schoolmates know him. After I left, one of my friends started to pressure him. His sister told me the girl comes to the house all the time and when she isn’t at the house, she will show up at parties and his work place. She has even started to go to the church they attend. I love my boyfriend very much and I plan to marry him and bring him to America. None of my schoolmates are going to have him, because they know I was first and they shouldn't push themselves on him.
