Expert Answer

That all depends on why they cheated in the first place. Some people cheat to get attention, to spice things up in the bedroom, or to meet their needs. It's best to sit down with your partner and discuss why they did what they did.

Question

What should I do when he cheats on me continuously?

Community Answer

If he cheats on you continuously, he isn't respecting your relationship. It's unlikely that he's going to stop doing it. It may be best for you to break things off with him so you can meet someone who is faithful to you.

Question

Is it possible to forgive him when he admitted that he cheated?

Danielle Husband

Community Answer

It's possible, but it will likely take time for you to feel ready to forgive. Give yourself as much time as you need to get over this. Then, forgive him so that you can feel better. However, that doesn't mean you have to stay with him. It's up to you if you want to save this relationship or move on. If you want to save it, talk to him about what you want and work on rebuilding your trust.

Question

What do you do if your boyfriend is cheating with your friend?

Danielle Husband

Community Answer

Talk to your friend and your boyfriend separately about what happened. Tell them how their actions made you feel and what you need moving forward. Give yourself time to decide if you want to keep them in your life. It will take time to rebuild trust, but it's possible. Spend time with your other friends to help you feel better.

Question

My boyfriend of 2 years has never been intimate with me. However, I found him sexting and also spoke with a woman who said they had sex. Am i wasting my time?

Danielle Husband

Community Answer

If your boyfriend is seeking sex outside your relationship, talk to him to find out why he isn't being intimate with you. Tell him how you feel about what happened and what you want from your relationship. Then, decide if you can stay with him or not. It may be best for you to move on so you can find someone who is fully committed to you.

Question

My friend just told me the man I'm seeing regularly for about 8 months has been seeing others. What should I do?

Danielle Husband

Community Answer

Talk to the guy you're dating to find out if the rumor is true. Then, ask him if he's planning to be exclusive with you. If you have different relationship goals, it may be best for you to break up with him.
