DEAR DEIDRE: WHEN I had a miscarriage, not only did I lose my baby, but I lost the man I fell in love with too.

I’m 32, my boyfriend is 35, and we’ve been together for six years.

After being diagnosed with endometriosis in my early 20s, I knew having children was going to be hard, if not impossible. So when I fell pregnant with our first child, we were over the moon.

However, four months in, I tragically lost the baby, and things between us shifted.

Suddenly the caring and loving boyfriend I knew was distant and cold. He started doing more and more overtime at work, and the intimacy in our relationship completely died.

I tried everything to reconnect with him, from trying to arrange date nights to suggesting couples counselling, but he was never interested.

Now I’ve been sent photos of him snuggling up to another woman in the pub, and it’s undeniable that he’s cheating.

I’m heartbroken. After everything, I can’t believe he would do this to me.

DEIDRE SAYS: The way your boyfriend has been acting is immature and selfish. While he’s dealing with his own grief, he’s failing to support you in yours.

You need to find a moment to have a serious conversation with him. Tell him that you deserve a partner who will be there for you in times like this and explain that something needs to change.

If he refuses or deflects, you may need to consider making the break.

I’m sending you my support pack on miscarriage to help you find some emotional support.

JHON DURAN made a shock revelation after sinking Bayern Munich to maintain his sensational super-sub season.

The Aston Villa striker lobbed a glorious Champions League winner just nine minutes after coming off the bench on Wednesday.

And after the crazy celebrations at Villa Park – with Prince William losing his voice – Duran claimed his goal fulfilled TWO of his footballing fantasies.

The Colombian said: “I feel happy to be able to score, and even more so against a great team like Bayern Munich, which is the club of my dreams.

“I am happy to be the man of the match against this team, which was also my dream.”

The 20-year-old’s verdict might be taken by some as a hint he has one eye on his long-term future.

Duran netted eight times in 37 games last term, but mainly as understudy to Ollie Watkins.

And his frustration led to transfer talk over the summer.

Chelsea were interested in swapping the 12-cap star for England midfielder Conor Gallagher, who eventually moved instead to Atletico Madrid.

And it’s understood West Ham were keen on a £30million swoop for Duran – £10m short of Villa’s valuation.

He even whipped social media into a frenzy by sharing a picture of him crossing his arms – a possible nod to the Hammers’ crest.

Again this term Villa boss Unai Emery has preferred to start with Watkins in a one-man attack.

But with Duran netting five more goals off the bench – more than any other player in Europe’s tp five leagues – his bid for a regular start could soon be irresistible.

Emery said after Wednesday’s epic triumph: “He arrived two years ago, he has huge potential, sometimes passion.

“Sometimes I need to speak with him as a person and connect with him and as a player to let him play and put him on the field because his talent is there and his capacity to improve us.

“We have two very good strikers and the challenge is to manage both.”

Whatever happens, Emery doesn’t shy away from big decisions over his team – such as bringing on and then subbing Leon Bailey against Bayern.

FIFA have announced a special transfer loophole will be created for next summer’s new Club World Cup.

Chelsea and Manchester City will be England’s representatives in the 32-team tournament to be played in the USA.

And both Prem clubs – and their rivals – will be able to complete some of next season’s transfers early to allow the players to take part in Fifa’s new flagship competition.

Under current transfer regulations, the majority of contracts, alongside player registration periods, run until June 30.

The new competition will be played from June 15 to July 13 – meaning that players and managers  could theoretically be out of contract half-way through.

Current contracts for City’s Kevin de Bruyne and Ilkay Gundogan will expire on June 30, as will Pep Guardiola’s, although the manager has indicated he is keen to sign a new deal.

Jadon Sancho’s loan spell at Chelsea is also due to finish on the same date, while Harry Kane’s Bayern Munich have SEVEN senior players out of contract at the end of the season.

But at Thursday’s meeting of Fifa’s ruling Council, global chiefs agreed “unanimously” to bring in rules that will only apply to the 32 teams taking part.

As long as their national associations, including the FA, agree, competing clubs will be allowed an 10-day “exceptional registration window” from June 1, allowing players joining them to play in the planned £600m prize fund tournament.

There will also be a second temporary window lasting six days from June 27 for participating clubs to replace or re-register players who start the tournament on their books but whose contract then lapse mid-competition.

The changes mean Bayern could end up facing Real Madrid target, Canada’s Alphonse Davies, former Etihad winger Leroy Sane, versatile defender and midfielder Joshua Kimmich or keeper Manuel Neuer in the US less than three weeks after they feature for the Bavarians in the Champions League Final in the Allianz Arena.

Early registration will only be permitted if both clubs and the players involved approve and nobody will be allowed to play for two teams during the month of action.

Fifa said the “objective” was to “encourage clubs and players whose contracts are expiring to find an appropriate solution to facilitate the players’ participation”.

In an additional move, Fifa chiefs agreed that any players called up for the Concacaf Gold Cup taking place on the west coast of the USA at the same time will have the choice of whether to represent their club or nation.

That mainly applies to Mexican players, with three clubs – Monterrey, Club Leon and Pachuca – having qualified for the Fifa tournament but would also see left-back Davies having to choose between club or country.

Fifa President Gianni Infantino said: “The FIFA Club World Cup 2025 will kick off a new era for club football across the world, with the top teams competing to be crowned the official FIFA club world champions.

“These regulations will ensure that the best possible conditions are in place in order for all 32 participating clubs and the best players in the world to shine at the highest level.”

DEAR DEIDRE: MY mother’s drinking is out of control, and I’m worried sick about the impact it’s having on my dad.

There isn’t a day that passes where she hasn’t drunk herself into a state, and I’m at a complete loss of what to do to help.

I’m 30, my mum is 65, and my dad is 72.

While my mum has always had a complicated relationship with alcohol, over the last few years it’s grown into a real problem.

Whether she’s at work, out with friends, or just watching TV at home, she’s constantly under the influence.

The worst part is that my dad is taking the brunt of it. Most days he’s having to look after her and put her to bed because she’s got herself into such a state.

He tries to hide it, but I can tell it’s taking a toll on him. It doesn’t help that she speaks so nastily to him too.

I’m so worried. How can I help them?

DEIDRE SAYS: Unfortunately, the only person who can make a change and stop the drinking is your mother.

Try to catch her in a more sober state and tell her how worried you are and that you want to help her.

My support pack, Dealing With A Problem Drinker, explains how to have this conversation and where your mum can go for help, if she agrees to.

In the meantime, let your dad know you’re there for him, but make it clear he can lean on you.
