I’m filled with regret since finding out ex has new girlfriend
DEAR DEIDRE: I WISH I’d been more honest about my feelings. My ex has a new girlfriend, and I’ve realised too late that I love him.
I’m 19 and last year I was in a casual relationship with a guy I met online, who is 20.
He said he didn’t want anything serious, and I agreed because I didn’t want him to think I was needy.
Eventually, it fizzled out.
When I heard he’d got serious with someone else, it really hurt. I miss him and want to tell him my true feelings.

DEIDRE SAYS: Finding out your ex has a new girlfriend has made you regret not telling him how you felt.
Sadly, now it’s too late.
It’s natural to think “what if?” and to feel nostalgic.
That doesn’t mean you love him or that he’s right for you. Talking to a close friend about how you feel will help you to start getting over him.
