Significant Others: Girlfriends & Boyfriends / Question
Published: May 9, 2002
Dear TeenHealthFX,
Okay, there is one girl who is really nice, but I am not really friends with her. She has been going out with this player guy for over a year, and she is completely in love with him and thinks that he loves her too. Well he cheats on her constantly, and all her close friends tell her this and they know it is all true, because it is usually with one of them, or saw it going on. I was never close to this girl and she was always acting all superior, and I kissed her boyfriend a couple of times. I confronted her, and she won't believe me. Her boyfriend denies everything, and I don't know what to do. I don't like him or anything, but he tells everyone I made the whole thing up. Any help would be appreciated.

Dear Boyfriend Who Cheats,
TeenHealthFX thinks the best thing would be to just forget about the whole thing. You told the girl and if she does not believe you or the other people who have told her about her boyfriend cheating, there is not much you can do. Do not worry too much about the boyfriend distorting the facts about you, since most people realize he has a tendency to lie anyway. It sounds like this girl's "superior" attitude bothers you, but it is probably the way she protects herself from accepting what is going on. For whatever reason she chooses to ignore what is obvious to everyone else. It is also kind of sad that her close friends are some of the ones who fooled around with her boyfriend.
