My boyfriend dumped me after I devoted myself to him through his cancer

When he called to say he had got the all-clear, I was so happy and suggested we went out and celebrated.

But while we were sitting in our favourite restaurant he told me he wanted to finish our relationship. I honestly thought he was joking. 

It soon became clear he was absolutely serious. He said he wasn’t happy and didn’t love me any more.

I feel like I have been used as his carer, until he was well enough to get on without me.

A year on, I’ve heard he has a new girlfriend and they have even bought a house together.

I am still so full of hate and anger towards him, and don’t know how to get past it.

DEIDRE SAYS: The way he ended your relationship was cruel and selfish.  He didn’t allow you closure, which is why you are finding it hard to move on.

Perhaps having cancer made him reassess his life.

Whatever the reason, tell yourself you’ve had a lucky escape. He is not worthy of your love.
