DEAR DEIDRE: MY former boyfriend has come back into my life but there’s one problem – his new girlfriend.
I am a woman of 30 and he is 32. We were together for four years and he broke my heart, cheating on me with a colleague who he left me for. I never got over him but recently we rekindled our friendship and realised where we went wrong.

We are desperate to get back together but his girlfriend is abusive. She controls him and threatens to ruin him financially.
She is 35 and has said she will ruin his good name in the workplace if he leaves her. He can’t even go to the HR department at work as she is best friends with one of the women there.
DEIDRE SAYS: Do be wary. This man has hurt you badly once and now seems to be coming up with lots of reasons why he can’t leave his new partner, though you only have his word for that.
If he is sincere, he has to tell his girlfriend that blackmailing him is never going to make him love her. My e-leaflet Ending A Relationship will help him find the right words.
Meanwhile, he should keep a note of any work-related threats she makes and, if needs be, talk to the head of HR.
