DEAR DEIDRE: MY friend-with-benefits dumped me because his new girlfriend was jealous of me, then expected to pick up with me when they split.
When I said no, he told me our friendship was over. I feel really hurt.
I’m 26 and he is 27. We met at university and had a brief relationship before deciding to be just mates.
However, we ended up in bed a number of times, and agreed to be “friends with benefits”. It suited us both.
Last year, he met a woman he said he’d really fallen for.
