I had a secret fling with my mate’s mum now I’m worried he’ll find out
DEAR DEIDRE: IF my best pal finds out that I’m having an affair with his mum, it will ruin our friendship and tear his family apart.
I’m 20, the same age as my mate. He has two siblings, aged 17 and 15.
I’ve known his mum, who is 49, since I was a kid. She used to pick me up from school sometimes when my mum was working late.
She was our biggest supporter when we played football for our local team, always ready with encouragement and snacks.
When we were in our early teens, her husband cheated on her.
My mate told me how she didn’t cope well, but within the year she’d moved on with another guy, who she was with for three years.
But that relationship also ended when he moved abroad for work.
Soon after, I bumped into her in a new cafe in town.
I helped her carry her shopping home, chatting all the way.
When we got there, she asked me to do a little DIY job while I was there.
My mate is away at training college so isn’t around to help her.
She also asked me if I could do a few other repairs for her and I agreed to do them.
The next time I went round, though, we began flirting.
Before I knew it, we were kissing and cuddling. We went to her bedroom — she led me there by the hand.
We ended up having the most awesome sex. Afterwards, she said it was a one-off not to be repeated.
However, we have had sex many times since then.
She is really worried that my mate will find out, but we are very careful — and so far our secret is safe.
I love her, but she says I need to find a woman my own age. I worry that someone will get hurt and it’s likely to be me.
DEIDRE SAYS: This relationship won’t ever work. She’s running a home with no partner to give her support, but she should know better than to seduce her son’s friend.
Your mate would be devastated if he knew what his mother is doing, and you stand to lose his friendship if he ever finds out.
You don’t have to give in to temptation. Don’t go round to her house again.
Get out with friends your own age and give yourself the chance of a more equal relationship.
You’ve had a lucky escape and got away with it.
Put it down to experience and get on with enjoying your life.

I STILL FEEL ANGER OVER CHEATING EX
DEAR DEIDRE: I CANNOT stop feeling angry with my ex-wife – who I broke up with after coming home early one day and seeing her in bed with another guy.
I am 36. I thought we had a great relationship, but clearly I was wrong.
We had been married for five years and were talking about starting a family.
But she began going out regularly, getting drunk and not coming home until the early hours.
After I caught her cheating, we divorced. She has remarried and has a baby. I have moved on, too, and am now with a wonderful woman.
Our mutual friends have accepted my ex’s new husband, yet they don’t seem to want to know my partner, who has done nothing wrong. It feels like I am being punished for her affair when I am completely innocent.
My ex’s life seems to be going so smoothly. She hasn’t suffered in the way I did and I sometimes wish she had. Why can’t I just move on?
DEIDRE SAYS: The fact you are still hurt and angry over the loss of your marriage is understandable. You were betrayed in the worst way possible.
Counselling could help you to find peace and contentment with your new partner and leave the past behind. My support pack, How Counselling Helps, explains more.
Unfortunately, many people feel pressured to choose sides when a couple divorce.
Building up new friendships will help shift your focus from this pain.
WORRIED TO DATE WITH STD
DEAR DEIDRE: AFTER my ex gave me genital herpes, I worry my chances of dating someone new are ruined. I am devastated.
I am a 24-year-old single woman. I was with my boyfriend for two years, but I discovered through a mutual friend that he had been cheating on me all the time we were together.
And he gave me herpes. I am so ashamed because I know the stigma around this condition. The thought of telling someone new is so daunting, but saying nothing is putting them at risk of going through the same nightmare.
It is all I think about from the minute I wake up until I go to sleep at night.
It is really knocking my confidence as I’m scared about what any guy’s reaction will be. I think they are likely to run a mile.
I feel very alone and it’s never off my mind. My mum keeps telling me not to worry about it as it’s very common.
It is stopping me from even attempting to date and getting close to someone.
DEIDRE SAYS: There is no reason to avoid meeting new partners. You can have a safe sex life without passing on the virus.
Don’t feel ashamed about what has happened, herpes is a common virus.
You can get detailed advice from the Herpes Viruses Association (herpes.org.uk, 0845 123 2305), who can help you get on with your life.
My support pack, Raising Self-Esteem, will give you a confidence boost.
SILLY GAME HAS RUINED SEX LIFE
DEAR DEIDRE: A DRUNKEN game of truth or dare went disastrously wrong when I admitted to my husband that my ex had a bigger penis than him.
I bitterly regret blurting this out and, since then, our once regular, amazing sex life has virtually died out completely.
I am 33 and my husband is 35. We have been married for eight years.
He was so hurt and admitted that something inside him just switched off and destroyed his sex drive.
Apart from the lack of sex, we have a wonderful relationship.
We are very tactile and always have lots of kisses and cuddles.
He is my best friend and always calls me every day when he is at work to say that he loves me. I know that I have let him down terribly.
Since that night, sex has dwindled to a couple of times a year at best.
And it’s always me who initiates it when my husband has had a few drinks. He admits he probably needs help, but he never does anything about it.
It is so frustrating. I feel like I am being punished even though I have apologised for my mistake many times.
I am missing the sensual closeness and intimacy of sex. My friends all say we are lucky to be so in love and happy. If they knew the truth, they would be shocked.
DEIDRE SAYS: If your husband already had insecure feelings about his size, then your confession would intensify that.
You have apologised and I assume that you have never complained about your sex life before this.
Reassure your husband that being a great lover is about skill, not penis size, and you are more than happy.
Tell him how much you miss being intimate and want to get your sex life back to normal. My support pack on Penis Size will reassure him.
Watch what you drink in future, to avoid being insensitive.
Shane Lowry flatlines after hot start to final round at at RBC Canadian Open
OFFALY star Shane Lowry came flying out of the traps on Sunday and briefly looked like he might run away with the RBC Canadian Open.
BUT it didn’t last long as the Clara ace faded away at TPC Toronto.
The 2019 Open champion slammed through his opening four holes in five-under-par.
The overnight four-shot overnight gap evaporated as the Irishman grabbed the outright lead at Osprey Valley.
But he couldn’t keep the pedal down as he flatlined after the turn in Canada.
Lowry played his final 14 holes in two-over-par, eventually to sign for a three-under 67 on his final round.
That meant the Irishman finished on -13 for the week, which will likely be enough for a top-15 finish.
American Sam Burns set the clubhouse target with a stunning 62 to post -18 after finishing a couple of hours before the final groups signed off.
At time of publish, New Zealand’s Ryan Fox slammed in a 17-foot birdie putt on the final hole to force a playoff with Burns.
The winner of the PGA Tour’s RBC Canadian Open will receive $1,764,000 from the $9.8 million purse.
