It's your extra fix of dilemmas in the week! Should you stop texting your ex-boyfriend when you know he doesn't want to get back together? Do you go on nights out and trips abroad with your boyfriend and his best friend who you have issues with? How do you deal with a super clingy and crying best friend on nights out? And how do you stop thinking about your colleague who's in a 4-year relationship with someone else?
