FLOORED BY HIS CRUEL DUPLICITY

Dear Coleen

I feel like a complete idiot after being badly let down by a man I was in a relationship with.

We’d been seeing each other for several months and were extremely happy – or so I thought – until he dumped me out of the blue a couple of weeks ago.

One evening he called me and admitted to having a long-term girlfriend and that he’d decided to stay with her and end things with me. He was so cold about it – he even claimed that we were friends more than anything else, which is simply untrue.

We slept together and went on dates and even had a couple of romantic weekends away. How can he have such a different version of our relationship?

Then there’s the betrayal – juggling two women and lying to us both. I feel so hurt and also embarrassed that I fell for it hook, line and sinker. I just didn’t see it coming – how can I get over it?

Coleen says He ended things in a heartless way and he also deceived you throughout your entire relationship, so I’d say it’s a very good thing that it is over.

Now you have the opportunity to find someone who really deserves you.

It hurts like hell when someone lets you down this badly, but you can either continue to let this man have a negative effect on your life and make you angry, bitter and unable to move on, or you can learn from it and focus on your future and feeling happy again.

He simply is not worth spending so much time thinking about.

Many of us encounter someone like him in our lives, but make sure you don’t give him the satisfaction of seeing you miserable – and don’t let what happened stop you from trusting other men.

When you are in a relationship with a nice guy, this fella will be ancient history and you won’t give him a second thought.
