Dear Diana,
I have been confronting my girlfriend on several occasions because I know something is amiss. I can tell from her behaviour. But she simply accuses me of being paranoid. Things are not the same as before. She laughs at whatever I say. But after weeks of mental games, she has now admitted that there is someone else on the scene. She says they have been only going out for coffee. At the same time she says, she is unsure about him and wants us to rekindle our relationship. I have agreed to this as I am willing to give my 100 per cent. I think it’s a shame to throw away the last five years due to a lack of communication. She says she went astray as he showered her with attention while I did not. She felt he cared for her more than I do. I really want us to be together. Why can’t she be honest and forthright like me?
