<\/picture>DEAR DEIDRE <\/span><\/p>\nDEAR DEIDRE: MY girlfriend is the love of my life, so why do I cheat on her?<\/p>\n
I know how much I hurt her the first time I did it, but now I\u2019ve done it again. What\u2019s wrong with me?<\/p>\n
I\u2019m 40, she\u2019s 38. We have three children and split up two years ago, after she discovered I had been chatting to another woman online.<\/p>\n
She couldn\u2019t forgive me, even though I begged her to, and in the end I moved out.<\/p>\n
Then I was involved in a serious car accident and was in hospital for months.\u00a0 <\/p>\n
My girlfriend realised how much she loved me and was by my side throughout my recovery.<\/p>\n

Once I was out of hospital, she took me home and nursed me back to full health. We started being a proper family again and even decided to get married.<\/p>\n
But then a woman at work started flirting with me and, stupidly, I started flirting back.<\/p>\n
We haven\u2019t had full sex but have kissed and been intimate. I don\u2019t know why I felt the need to do it. I didn\u2019t even like her that much.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s my girlfriend I love. We have a great sex life and loads common.
Of course, she found out about the other woman and was heartbroken.<\/p>\n
She said this time it was over for good. I can\u2019t believe I\u2019ve been so stupid and thrown away the best things in my life.<\/p>\n
Now I\u2019m living in a tiny flat and only see my kids at weekends. I miss them and my girlfriend so much.<\/p>\n
I know she misses me too and still loves me, but she says she can never trust me again.<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t blame her. I admit it\u2019s all my fault and I think I need help to work out why I\u2019m like this.<\/p>\n
<\/picture>DEAR DEIDRE <\/span><\/p>\nMy husband assured me he\u2019d had enough of his ex\u2019s fickle ways – and still\u2026<\/h3>\n
