I regret being nasty to my ex while on drugs – have I lost her for ever?
DEAR DEIDRE: MY girlfriend ended our relationship and I know it’s all my fault. I was horrible to her.
I’m a guy of 27 and we’d been together for three years but I started drinking a lot and took drugs. When I was off my head I was spiteful to her.

I regret it. During lockdown I have thought about the person I was becoming, I’ve stopped taking drugs and I’m trying to cut down on drinking.
My ex-girlfriend is 25. We’ve started talking again but she hasn’t been in contact for a week. Have I lost her for ever?

DEIDRE SAYS: If you were abusive, either mentally or physically, it is going to be hard to get past. Three months may have felt a long time to you but it could take a year of staying off drink and drugs to convince her.
