DEAR DEIDRE: EVEN though we split up six months ago, my ex-boyfriend is still trying to manipulate me.
He’s taunting me with his new relationship in an attempt to make me jealous.
I’m 24 and he’s 27. We were together for a year and he was really abusive.
As it was my first serious gay relationship, and I didn’t know what was normal, it was hard to leave.
Eventually, I ended it. We agreed to remain mates.He kept trying to win me back, but I said no.
