CRUSHES

Advice

He said, she said: Did he cheat or did she make it up?

My boyfriend and I have been dating for a year. Last September he went camping and one of his childhood friends who happened to be a girl was there. A few weeks after he got back she friended me on Facebook and was posting a bunch of stuff about him. Long story short, she told me that he cheated on me with her, but when I asked him what they did he said that they hugged and that was it.
One day when we were on the phone he asked if I would be mad if he ever kissed anyone else while we were dating and I thought that was a little suspicious. This has driven me crazy ever since the day I found out. How do I get the real story?

Hmm that does sound suspicious. Either she made up the story for attention, or he's covering his butt. Both are plausible, but the odds aren't looking too good for your guy with that hypothetical kiss question. The problem is you can’t strap your BF to a lie detector test to guarantee that he’s telling the truth. Though that would certainly make this situation easier!

 

Sadly, since you didn’t see for yourself, you can never be fully sure that you got the real story. But the bottom line is you need a boyfriend that you can trust. If you stay with your BF, are you always going to wonder if he’s telling the truth? Will you continue worrying about whether or not he’s cheating on you with someone else? If you’re being driven crazy, then is this relationship really worth all that stress? If you feel like you can’t trust him, it may be better to fly solo. Go with your gut on this mind-boggler.
