“Is that what’s been happening?”

‘Sarah’ replied: “Yeah, the messages weren’t really chit chat. He was asking them to come round.”

Deidre said: “I hate to tell people to end a relationship but this is repeat behaviour on his part. It’s up to you.

“If you want to give him one more chance… I suspect it’s engraved behaviour with him.”
