I’D like my partner and I to get back together, but her friends are leading her astray.

We’re living apart. me with my brother, her in our old flat with two, much younger, lodgers.

The problem is her pals (and these two lodgers) are party animals.

We’re supposed to be trying to save our relationship, but all they do is drag her out and get her drunk.

I turned up at the flat unexpectedly recently. She was sitting on the sofa with a cocky bloke.

I got the impression they were laughing at me. I actually caught him brushing himself up against her, while she was whispering in his ear.

I suspect she has been unfaithful but have no proof. Is it worth hanging on?

JANE SAYS: Your estranged partner is a fully functioning adult. Neither you nor she can blame her friends for leading her astray.

She has to take full responsibility for the way she behaves and you have to accept that she gets drunk and plays up because she enjoys it.

I urge you to have that all-important talk where you tell her that you’re not prepared to be walked over or strung along for any longer.

Is she serious about saving this relationship or not? If she’s not prepared to meet you half way, then you must think about yourself and move on.

I worry that you’re wasting a lot of energy on a woman who now has her own agenda.
