Question
ok so i've been dating my boyfriend for seven monthsand we were perfect, like i thought nothing could go wrong. About a month ago he told me he has a kid with another girl, and i accepted it, i stayed with him. He always said he hasnt cheated on me then i finally belived my best friend when he said he cheats on me so i asked him, and he admited it. At first i didn't talk to him. I broke up with him, then a week later i saw him and fell in love again. I can't imagine being without him. He said he'll never do it again. And he said if we make it to a year, hes buying an engagment ring. I'm 16, and he's 18. I cant tell my friends i got back together with him or else they will never talk to me. I don't know what i should do. Should I belive him? help help help!

Answer
Hi Maggie.

You are still very young and their are plenty of men out there.  If it was once, then a second chance may be worth it if you love him, but if it was an ongoing affair, then he clearly doesn't have a problem with cheating on you.  In this case, I would say you should move on.  Give him a chance though if it was a one time thing.
