Sudden ending

Are my boyfriend’s break up reasons genuine?

DEAR DEIDRE: My boyfriend dumped me because of his mental health.

He said he wasn’t in the right headspace for a relationship, but we were so happy, and now I’m confused and sad.

We’re both 18 and we were together for six months.

But, suddenly, he changed. He got really down and wouldn’t talk to me.

Did I do something wrong? I miss him and what we had.

DEIDRE SAYS: You’ve done nothing wrong.

Sometimes, relationships don’t work out. People’s feelings change.

If your ex was depressed and withdrawn, he probably felt unable to open up to you and unable to give you what you need.

Let him know you’re there for him as a friend. But it’s best for you to move on.

My support pack, Mend Your Broken Heart, should help.
