there's this guy i really like... i'm not sure if it's lust or if i really care for him... but anyways he's been going "steady" on and off with this one girl for about 2 years... he says that he really loves her... but he's constantly cheating on her... and he's lied to me before about not going out with her when they were so we could hook up... now he says that they're back to being just friends and they've been broken up for about 2 weeks... he only told me this after i told him i didn't wanna hook up if they were going out... so what should i do? should i give him the benifit of the doubt even though he's already let me down, or should i tell him that i just can't trust him or what? i'm so confused...
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self‑seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
this is love but
what you have described is not love, but lust. if this guy has cheated on his girlfriend so many times what makes you think he will treat you any better if you eventually made a go of it?
you deserve better. i know this probably isn't what you want to hear but you know deep inside you that its wrong and that this guy doesn't deserve you. you know that the way he has treated the other girl is wrong or you wouldn't have asked him what you did. if you trusted him you wouldn't have asked this question. yes, if you love him you will be able to forgive him, but i don't think you will find it easy to trust him.
i cannot tell you what to do, you need to assess how you feel. trust and respect are both necessary for a relationship and i don't think you two have either but if you want to go for it then do!

but basicly if he loves her hes just doing what all coupples do and seperate so move on you dont want to be on the side forever [ jenniferp's advice column | Ask jenniferp A Question ]
