ok, let's say there's a girl at your school, and *everyone* knows that her boyfriend is cheating on her, but she doesn't seem to realize it. do you feel sorry for her, or do you just think she's stupid for not seeing it? and then... when she does find out, she forgives her bf and gives him a 2nd chance. do you think she's a nice, forgiving person who loves her bf, or do you think she's a complete idiot for letting him play her like that? just wondering, becuz that girl is me and i wonder what people might be saying/thinking about me!
christina answered Saturday June 2 2007, 10:36 pm: I would think both opinions. I would feel sorry for you because your boyfriend is doing this to you & I'd think you were dumb for not seeing it.
When you give him a second chance, I'd think you were an even bigger idiot than before and I'd say you're too nice.
Shortcake22 answered Saturday June 2 2007, 10:34 pm: You are not an idiot. I feel bad for girls in your situation. Everyone else thinks they're so high and mighty and they get all judgemental, but it's soooo easy to say that you'd never take him back until it's actually you in that position. And you're not doing anything wrong here. I don't think there's anything wrong with giving him a second chance. Everyone messes up, and everyone deserves a second chance. However, don't be naive this time around. Keep your eyes open for signs that he's being unfaithful again. On the other hand, don't become a super jealous, accusing girlfriend either (Although you have the right to be). Because then your relationship will go nowhere. And if he does do it again, don't give him a third chance. It will be hard, but don't do it, trust me. And make sure he knows there is no third chance. You are kind enough to give him a second
Christeena answered Saturday June 2 2007, 10:20 pm: Don't worry too much about what other people are saying about you because that's not what matters in the end. I know what you mean though, I've been that girl and if you're worried about what other people around you are saying or thinking it just makes things harder because you feel worse. Do what you do.

BrittanyMegan answered Saturday June 2 2007, 10:10 pm: i dont think your stupid for one. you just didnt know the facts. And that doesnt make you stupid for not knowing the facts. But the truth of the matter is if you were in an exclusive relationship and he choose else where for companianship ,he didnt think enough about you or to see only you OR to be honest with you that you both might want to date other people or that the relationship with you wasnt working for him and that happens sometimes. ITs a good thing to forgive someone but its a foolish thing to give them a second chance and opportunity to do it again. ;] Because if you gave him a second chance because HE WILL DO IT AGAIN!! And sometime people are in relationships that really arent just right for them, and you cant force something. It either is or it isnt. hope it works out for you!

CheerCandi answered Saturday June 2 2007, 10:06 pm: i would think that your being stupid for not noticing it. then i would find you and give you a talk on how you really feel and how you probabally dont deserve him. [ CheerCandi's advice column | Ask CheerCandi A Question ]
Cux answered Saturday June 2 2007, 10:05 pm: Honestly I would feel sorry for that girl (you). I don't tend to think people are idiots for not knowing things- just a little naive. And forgiving him (not a choice I would have made if a girl cheated on me- but hey- we all have different views)- it just shows that you are a forgiving person and can see the best in people- something most of us can't do.
And as for wondering what people think about you- ignore it all. Trying to manage what people think of you will only lead to you striving to be what they want you to be and not what you want you to be (if that makes any sense).

LoveNJstyle answered Saturday June 2 2007, 10:03 pm: Well, people would definatly talk about it. it really depends how the cheating thing went... if the guy kissed another girl and told the girl, then it's ok to be forgiving. if he was hooking up with some other girl all the time and such then i would just think that the girl is weak and not confident enough to just dump the guy. I would feel sorry for the girl..and hope that the guy got dumped but that's just me. <3 [ LoveNJstyle's advice column | Ask LoveNJstyle A Question ]
