I can’t say no to my cheating ex
DEAR DEIDRE: My ex keeps asking me for money and I can’t say no to her because I still love her and don’t want her to go without.
She has another boyfriend now and when I send her cash the next thing I see is her Instagram posts showing her doing shots on a night out.
I’m a man of 41 and she’s 36. She works for the local authority and doesn’t earn much. I didn’t mind paying when we were in a relationship.
We were together for four years before I ended it because she cheated.
I keep trying to move on but all the girls I date friend-zone me.
Nobody measures up to my ex. I’d do anything for her and know she’s taking me for a fool.

DEIDRE SAYS: I’m afraid she is. You are no longer responsible for her and the more you give her money, the more she will ask for it, keeping you hooked in.
She’s not being fair to you and you deserve better.
Make a pact with yourself that you’re not going to give her any more cash. Block her number if you need to and don’t follow her on social media because it’s tormenting you.
Get out with friends and network that way. Look for friendship rather than girlfriend material and a relationship may naturally come your way.
My Moving On support pack will help you.
