When things were good, they were very good. When they were bad, they were awful.
He cheated on me multiple times but stupidly, I took him back.
The pain of our break-ups was matched only by our passionate reconciliations. The make-up sex was incredible.
However, last time we split, two months ago – after I found out he’d slept with yet another woman – we agreed we would split for good.
He admitted he couldn’t ever be faithful and that I deserved better.
But he can’t seem to leave me alone. He sends chatty texts and messages on social media.

And every time I hear from him, I get butterflies. I know I still love him and it hurts.
I think he still has feelings for me too. Should I give him another chance?

DEIDRE SAYS: He is not playing fair with you.
Perhaps he doesn’t want you to get over him or he thinks you can be mates. But he’s admitted he can’t be faithful and that you deserve better.
He’s made it very clear he won’t or can’t change. If you try again, you will inevitably get hurt.
Try to move on and find someone new. If hearing from him is upsetting, ask him to stop – or block him.
