I have begun spending a lot of time with another mum because her son and mine are best friends – and I have started to develop feelings for her.
I’m 41, my ex is 40 and this other mum is also 41.
The problem is, my ex-girlfriend was always paranoid that something had happened between us, even when it hadn’t.
So now I’m worried if we did get together, my ex would think I had cheated after all.

I heard some of the other school mums giggling and looking over at us last term and I really don’t want to start being the talk of the school yard.
The problem is, I just can’t stop thinking about this woman.

DEIDRE SAYS: Your ex and you have done well to create such a stable co-parenting arrangement and it is understandable that you are wary of ruining that.
If you ignore the school gossips, they will soon move on to a new topic.
But be mindful of fuelling loose talk which may get back to your ex.
