Dear Coleen

I’D been with my boyfriend for three years when he ended the relationship out of the blue a few weeks ago.

The worst thing was, he did it via an email, saying he just didn’t feel the same about us any more and wanted to give us both the chance to meet new people.

We don’t live together, so I suppose it was easy for him to end it without having to face me.

As well as being shocked, I was heartbroken because I thought we were fine. I definitely didn’t see this coming and there were no clues that he’d been planning this.

I’ve tried to get in touch with him but he just ignores my messages, apart from one, when he responded saying he’d be in touch once the dust settled and we’d had some time on our own.

I’m confused and angry because he’s left me with no explanation. It’s as if the past three years never happened or meant absolutely nothing to him.

One of my friends said she suspects he’s been seeing someone else, as a couple of people have spotted him with another woman.

I can’t understand why he’s been so cold. My family and friends are all horrified too.

Any advice would be appreciated.
