DEAR DEIDRE: I KNEW I shouldn’t have got together with my childhood ex as he’s a complete womaniser.
I’m a divorced woman of 36 and I’ve not had the best track history of dating.
I went to a school reunion and met a guy I went out with when I was 17. He cheated on me back then. He’s 37 now.
He’s never moved away from our home town and neither have I. We were flirting and he said he was separated and he’d like to take me out some time.
I said, “No way. Why would I want to go out with somebody who treated me badly?” He said he’d changed and he wanted to prove himself to me.
We started dating and I then found out he’d been seeing me and still sleeping with his ex-wife as well as somebody else. I ended it.
Since then, I find myself missing him terribly. We aren’t dating now but meet up for sex sometimes. I don’t think I can move on.

DEIDRE SAYS: You can and you must, for your own integrity and self-worth. Some people won’t ever be monogamous – which is what you crave – he’s not the one for you.
Tell him that casual sex isn’t your style and you aren’t going to allow yourself to get into this situation again.
You deserve better so wait until you really know somebody well before letting them into your life. You’ll be glad you did.
My support pack called Finding The Right Partner For You explains more.
