Your Call: Should She Give a Cheater a Chance?
Dear Em & Lo,
My boyfriend and I have been together for a year and a half. I love him very much but have recently found out that he likes another girl. We have spoken about it and he says that nothing has happened but he is tempted by her everytime he sees her. He says that he loves me and doesn’t want to jeopardize what we have, but he has cheated on all his other girlfriends. What should I do?

You need to have trust, trust, and more trust in a relationship, and it would be hard for me not to have that little voice in the back of my head telling me all kinds of stories with a guy who has cheating on all his girlfriends, and now tells you that he is tempted with another girl. If it were me, I would be heading on out of there.
It’s a tossup here. I voted with the top one but I guess I could have gone with the second as well. I have to give him points for honesty, but if you’re a stickler for monogamy, I think the relationship is going to end up doomed anyway. Doesn’t sound like he can maintain it.
I don’t think you should dump him because he has cheated on all his other girlfriends. That’s the past, which in my opinion shouldn’t affect the now. I think the fact that he told you he LIKES another girl is the reason why you should consider breaking up. He may love you, but if he likes another girl he probably shouldn’t be with you. He should probably be single…and so should you.
