We are living in world where cheating is a big problem. When your boyfriend/girlfriend would cheat on you what would you do? Would you leave him/her without thinking? Or would you be able to forgive? My boyfriend cheated on me with one of my very best friends. It was the worst feeling ever. I am still friend with that girl, but my ex-boyfriend is so far in the past. I haven't heard about him for a very long time and I am happy about it. some things I think I would be able to forgive and forget. To that boy I forgave, but I didn't forget. So how do you feel?

cheating is quite a hurtful word to hear and nobody wants to be cheated. its the betrayal, teh feeling of being betrayed by that person whom you love and you would think was all of those times that were together a lie? but as for me? i have been cheated and ofcourse it hurts a lot. to saw in front of my boyfriend is kissing another girl and that hes calling her baby when i was his baby as ive thought. that was the most hurtful part of my life. and it seems that my heart was torn into pieces and that my world just crumbled down. but when i think about the situation and try to analyzed it. i was part to be blame, knowing that hes just 17 and im 19. i was older than them and teenagers especially guys wanna have some fun with their lives and i was a more serious one. i shouldv'e allowed myself to be in such relationship. but still i forced myself into for desperation of having a bf. my bf was not a bad person, he's just being himself who wants to have fun with life. it hurts what he did but i have to moved on and live a life. he's probably living a life so am i right now. in order to heal one's wounds its best to forgive and let time passed by and heal myself through time.

CHEATING is not a unique thing in todays life, but it has become the normay part of one's life, Every now or then any person is cheated by the closest person, even the family members are cheated by each other, How can we expect the friends not to do so.. There r several cause for it, It is from the Money/Social Status/Belongings/False gossips/EGO Problem.. Having witnessing it from very close I feel it is part of life and remain cool. THANKS

I think be honest. If things are good, say that. If things are not good and you are not happy say that. If you are thinking of getting with somebody else, say why, try to fix it if you both are up for it. Then if it isn't getting fixed and she doesn't care enough to try. Say you are going to get with somebody else, then if she deosn't hear ot or even seem top care much, then do it. Tell her too. If she wants to hear about it even. If you say exactly what is happening, it isn't "cheating". If you make aggreements think about it a few times before you mess up.
