They may never admit it, but deep down inside anytime photos pop up of Kim Kardashian next to a paid brotha, black women all around cringe. Similar to the way many of them hate on Vh1′s latest reality hit starring Bengals receiver Chad Ochocinco. You know, the show, where number 85 has a tournament style dating elimination bracket, and 75 percent of the women are not black in it.

In this weeks Monday’s Mailbag, one of our readers asks for advice regarding his relationship that has recently become too close for his comfort. Check out his dilemna below, and the response after the jump.
YoungBrothas,
I find myself checking into your website on the regular, but I miss the weekly relationship and dating articles. I hope you choose my question to get things going again. I have been dating my current girl for almost a year now, and for all but the last month, it had been somewhat long distance. I live in Lorton and work in D.C, and she was going to school in Maryland. We would see each other usually on the weekends, as our weekly schedules kept us both too occupied. Ever since the middle of June, she has moved in with me, as her summer internship is close to my house. At first, it was cool, but now I am ready to evict her! What would you do?
