My new friend is close pals with my ex who made my life hell

DEAR DEIDRE: I HAVE a new friend who I am really into but I’m unsettled by her friendship with my ex-girlfriend and her mates.

They bullied me two years ago.

I am 18 now and she was my first gay relationship, but her group were snidey to me for our whole relationship.

I have suggested I walk away if that friendship is important to my new friend.

But she says I’m unfairly making her choose.

DEIDRE SAYS: If your friend wasn’t involved with the bullying, perhaps it is better to set out some ground rules to give you confidence.

You can suggest she keeps your friendship separate and doesn’t talk to your ex about you at all.
