I am a woman aged 21 and my ex-boyfriend is 24. We were in a relationship for a few years.

He broke up with me because we lived in Johannesburg and he told me he was going to work in Cape Town.

I was devastated.

However, I eventually found out that this was a lie and that he had broken up with me because his family did not like me.

We have sometimes passed each other in the street and he always ignores me.

Eventually, I stopped him and asked him why he treated me so badly when I had done nothing wrong to him.

My current boyfriend was angry with me over this and said I was obviously not over my ex.

What should I do?

Your ex-boyfriend is really not worth another tear or another thought. He has lied to you. Your relationship is over and a friendship is impossible.

If you carry on trying to sort this out and you don't get over whatever feelings you still have for your ex, you will lose your present boyfriend.

Put yourself in your boyfriend's shoes and ask yourself how you would feel if he still had feelings for an ex and seemed to still be so involved in her life.

You would feel second best, which is awful. You need to leave the past behind and look towards your future.
