Girlfriend told me she has fallen out of love with me and now I feel so lost

DEAR DEIDRE: AFTER I met my girlfriend, I haven’t been able to imagine my life without her.

But now she has admitted she has fallen out of love with me, and I don’t know what to do with myself.

She’s 30, I’m 34, and we were together for more than seven years.

Our relationship was always happy, and I felt certain we would be with each other for the rest of our lives.

However, in recent months she started working longer hours, and would often spend most of her weekends out with friends.

Then one day she told me her feelings for me had changed and she wanted to break up.

I begged for her to stay, but she said nothing would change her mind.

Now I feel so lost, and I don’t know what to do without her.

Please help.

DEIDRE SAYS: It is so devastating when these things happen and you don’t see it coming.

However, your girlfriend may have been feeling unhappy for some time.

It takes two to make a relationship. You can’t do it on your own, nor can you make somebody feel something that isn’t there.
