My boyfriend broke up with me and now he’s using me for sex
DEAR DEIDRE: My boyfriend broke up with me and then told me he felt horny and wanted sex.
I agreed to go to bed with him in the hope he’d change his mind about ending things.
We are both 27 and I’m female. We’ve lived together for three years.
I know something has been wrong for a while because he doesn’t seem the same towards me but when I’ve asked him he says, “It’s fine. Everything is good.”
We went out for dinner with his parents last weekend and when we left, they hugged me for an extra long time. It was as if they knew something was going to happen to us.
When we got home, my boyfriend suggested that I move back in with my dad, but I didn’t want to. He said he needed some space.
It was after that he initiated sex.
For the moment, we are still living together but I feel as if I’m on borrowed time and at any moment, he’ll insist I pack my bags and leave.

DEIDRE SAYS: It’s difficult for you to make a proper assessment of the situation if you’re still having sex together.
He shouldn’t even request it. He’s not being fair. He owes you an explanation but perhaps he feels your relationship has run its course.
It’s best to have an honest conversation rather than hope he’ll change his mind.
Hanging around will only leave you feeling used and confused.
My support pack called Mend Your Broken Heart shows you how best to move on.
