DEAR DEIDRE: HOW do I break the news to my friend that I am now dating her ex?
It’s been three years since they broke up, but I can’t help worry she will be hurt when she finds out.
I’m 24, she’s 25 and her ex-boyfriend is 27.
They were together for two years.
I had no intention of falling for him, but when we bumped into each other on a night out it became clear that there was something between us.
I fought it for as long as I could, but no matter what we did we couldn’t stay away from each other.
Now we’ve been together for six months, and things are starting to get serious.
I know sooner or later I need to tell her, but I’m worried that she will never talk to me again.

DEIDRE SAYS: There’s no easy way to approach this situation, but you said it yourself, sooner or later you’ll need to tell her.
If you truly see a future with this man, better it comes from you and not from somebody else.
It’s impossible to tell how she will react, but honesty is the best policy.
