DEAR DEIDRE: MY bestie is dating one of our lecturers in secret.
We’ve been best friends since we were 11.
We went to the same secondary school and now we both study Economics at the same university.
We’re currently in our second year and admittedly I’ve found it harder to settle in.
She has made more friends and the course is going surprisingly well for her.
My grades are normally better than hers but for the first time she has been beating me.

Before the end of term, I caught her making out with our lecturer in an empty tutor room.
And now everything makes sense!

DEIDRE SAYS: They may be keeping their relationship private to protect his job – some universities do not accept staff/student relationships.
It sounds as if you are struggling to settle in and feel envious of your friend.
This may be clouding your judgement.
Please check on her to make sure the relationship is consensual.
She may need someone she trusts to confide in.
My support pack on self esteem may help and please contact your university’s welfare team if you continue to feel low.
