DEAR DEIDRE: I SLEPT with my best friend of eight years.
Then three days later he got back with his ex-girlfriend.
I’m 17, and he’s 18. We met at school, and have been pretty much inseparable ever since.
In September, he broke up with his girlfriend of two years.
He was pretty upset, and so I invited him round.
After a couple of beers, we ended up having a really intense conversation about how much we meant to one another.
Suddenly, the words “I love you” came tumbling out of my mouth.
The next thing I knew, we were kissing and taking off each other’s clothes.
He left the next morning, promising to call me later, but I heard nothing from him for three days.
Then I saw on Snapchat that he and his girlfriend were back together.

I feel heartbroken and confused.
Was I just a rebound?

DEIDRE SAYS: Without talking to your friend, it’s hard to know what that night meant to him.
But getting back with his girlfriend suggests he doesn’t want to take things further.
Perhaps that’s because he doesn’t want to risk losing you as a friend.
