DEAR DEIDRE: THE happy family images my secret lover’s daughter draws are driving me crazy.

Whenever I mentioned moving in together she said she was ‘in love’ with me but ‘loved’ him because of their family

She was married but said she felt more like a single parent.

Her husband worked away so much we spent plenty of time together. 

She is 41, I’m 43 and her husband is 45. 

I fell deeply for her. Whenever I mentioned moving in together she said she was ‘in love’ with me but ‘loved’ him because of their family.

But over the last year her husband has started working from home more.

Now her eight-year-old daughter, who is in my class, draws herself smiling with her mum and dad holding her hand.

Is there any real future for us?

DEIDRE SAYS: You were a loving shoulder for her while her husband was absent. But now he seems more involved.

Ask if she sees a future for you both and give her a time frame to commit.

Otherwise, walk away so you can meet someone else. My pack Your Lover Not Free will help.
