She Said – 2/5/10

Okay, so remember that little thing you did over break? You know, the whole cheating on your boyfriend? Well, he found out, and the time has come for you to figure out what your next step is. To come clean or not to come clean, that’s a really tough question. I think that many people would say "hey fess up, you cheated." But there are things to ask yourself before you do this. In the end, I sincerely hope that you don’t get beaten with golf clubs (Tiger Woods y’all). As we all know, cheating can be really ugly.

I know you’re feeling really guilty about the whole thing (or at least you should be), but is it worth messing up your relationship, and having your boyfriend go totally insane just so you can relieve some guilt? After you cheat, you should try to show your boyfriend that you want only him. You do want only him, right?

That brings up another question. Why did you even feel the need to cheat? Most people cheat because they’re unhappy in their relationships. So, if you’re not happy with your significant other, then you probably shouldn’t be with them anyway. If you are happy with them, and the whole incident was either due to drunkenness or a lapse in judgment, then like I said before, try to make it work. Don’t confess unless you have seriously thought about the consequences of your actions.

If you cheated on your boyfriend because you like another guy, then you need to choose one, and fast. If you try to keep both, you will most likely end up with neither. Come on girls, watch some movies, this is what always happens.

If you cheated simply because you like to play mind games, are self-centered and narcissistic, then you probably don’t deserve your boyfriend anyway. So come clean about it so that you can be single and do all the dudes you want to. Honestly.
