DOWN IN THE DUMPS | Since I started seeing my boyfriend, my friends have dumped me.

DEAR DEIDRE: SINCE I started seeing my boyfriend, my friends have dumped me. I’m heartbroken.

I’m 18 and in my first year at university and was so pleased to find a group of good friends. I’d never really had that before.

Then I met this lovely guy on my course, who’s 19, and we’ve been spending a lot of time together.

I thought my friends would be happy for me. Instead, they’ve stopped asking me to hang out.

We’re supposed to be sharing a house next year.

DEIDRE SAYS: Friendships can change once a boyfriend comes along.

Perhaps your friends are jealous or feel you no longer want to spend time with them.

Talk to them – perhaps pick the one you felt most close to – and say how hurt you are and that you would like to repair your friendships, as you value them.

My support pack Rows With Friends has useful tips.
