Dear Diana,
I’ve been with this girl for a year, but I can now sense that something is wrong. It is not that I am insecure, but her behaviour towards me has changed. When I am around, she does not want to talk on her cell phone or check her messages. It was not the case earlier. The other day, I saw her phone ringing and it was her ex. She knew I had seen her phone, but she preferred to keep quiet about it. I know for sure that he is back in her life. A common friend has been filling me in with details how she has hooked up with her former flame again. I wonder why she cannot tell me clearly what is on her mind. At the same time, she says that we should plan a future together. Why is she playing this game with me? Should I believe what the common friend is telling me about her ex-flame?
