DEAR DEIDRE: LAST week my girlfriend broke up with me, saying she no longer wants an exclusive relationship.
I’m 26 and she’s 23. We first got talking as we are neighbours, so we saw one another around all the time – on the stairs, in the local shop, on the same bus.
My team and I are working safely from home but we are here to help you as always.

We were together for nearly a year but she said the last lockdown made her realise she is not ready for a serious relationship.
She still wants us to hang out, watch TV and be friends.
But how can I when I love her yet she doesn’t want to be with me?
DEIDRE SAYS: It is all too raw for you right now.
Tell her friendship would be good in the long term but for now she will have to give you time to adjust.
Go out with other friends when that is possible and find new interests so you are not moping at home looking out for her.
My e-leaflet Moving On has advice for getting over a lost love.
