DEAR DEIDRE: WHILE I was on a month’s break from my girlfriend she kissed her ex. She says it meant nothing but I’m gutted and can’t get past it.

We’ve been together for two years. She is 30, I’m 32. She has a six-year-old daughter with this ex, so he’ll always be in her life.

She said it happened when he was bringing their daughter home after a weekend with him.

Their girl was getting upset because her dad was leaving. Then my girlfriend got upset because her daughter was crying.

Apparently her ex went to hug her and it just happened. He’s a good-looking guy, 34 and plays rugby. I feel like I can’t compete.

We were having a break because we kept arguing. Now I don’t know how to move forward.

DEIDRE SAYS: Of course you can compete with this guy. They are history. It sounds like he made the moves and she must be confident about what you have or she wouldn’t have told you.

The kiss was a betrayal, yes, but nobody died.

Don’t bother having it out with this guy. You are the winner. Just insist you are around when he picks up or drops off the girl.
