Dear At the Fence:

I have been dating my boyfriend for 2 1/2 years. We have been living together for 1 1/2 years. About 4 months ago I found a girl's number in his pocket. I confronted him about it but he said that it wasn't his that he must of picked it up by accident from one of his friend's house.

Then 2 weeks after that a friend of mine told me that he had slept with a girl with the same name that was on the piece of paper I found in his pocket. I confronted him again on it and he got really upset and said that he would never do such a thing. Now, 4 months later my roommate's ex boyfriend who is also friends with my boyfriend, was talking to my roommate and he mentioned the fact that my boyfriend had sex with this girl. I asked him how did he know about that and he told me that my boyfriend told him that he had sex with this girl.

So I confront him again about it and he tells me that he doesn't remember telling this friend anything about having sex with any girl. I don't know who to believe or what to do. I just want the truth and I just keep getting pushed back from it. I love my boyfriend to death. I have always been here for him through the good and the bad. But this knot in my stomach gets worse by the day when I think about this.

Is is true or is it not?. I don't know what to think or do. Please help. Do you think my boyfriend is lying to me and is hiding something from me or should I just brush this off my shoulders since only two people that I know say that he did have sex with this girl.

PLEASE REPLY ASAP!!!

HELP.

Dear  Help.

I don't know if it's true or not. Neither do you. I always say that until you know something for sure you shouldn't be bothered about rumors. You asked him and he denied it. Relationships are built on trust. It's true that some people take advantage of that, but if you want a good relationship, you have to take the chance.

If he's fooling around with other women, and you find out for sure that he is, then you can end it. But don't make matters worse by checking up on him, or looking for evidence. If he's innocent, that will ruin the relationship for sure. Just let the truth come out by itself.

Under the circumstances, if it turns out that the rumors are true, I wouldn't bother asking for explanations or giving him another chance. He will have proven that he can't be trusted to be faithful or tell the truth.

Best Wishes
