Question Posted Tuesday September 29 2009, 8:09 pm
This guy I'd been dating had a birthday party on Saturday. I got wasted and made out with his roommate for 3 hours. My best friend had a crush on his roommate. Now pretty much everyone hates me. Any ideas for damage control on this one?

(only if he is very important to you)..mostly when people are drunk they show their true feelings and thoughts..so maybe deep down your not in love with this guy, but i understand if you want to still be with him. i know your probably told him you were sorry and everything else that everyone says. and if you dont normally do this stuff, then let him know. it was a first time mistake. i learned from it, but i dont want to lose you. and about your bestfriend, if she really is your best friend, then in the end she will get over it. tell her that you had no intention of ruining your friendship and that you understand that things might not be the same but maybe you can rebuild your friendship and trust slowly. its going to be hard, no one likes to lose friends or boyfriends over these stupid reasons of drinking. i have been through it too. but your going to have to wait it out. it will take some time. all you need is hope and patience. any questions?

lolalufonda222 answered Wednesday September 30 2009, 12:45 am: so you cheated on the guy you were dating, and made out with your best friends guy. but its really not youe fault.
first of all you were drunk, which isnt completely an excuse but definatly makes you do things you wouldnt do otherwisee.
plus did you know your friend liked this guy?
if not then its totally not your fault.
the best thing to do is first try and make excused (above) and then just fess up and say your sorry.
admit it wad your fault and that you would take it all back if you could. and that you would never want to hurt either of them. hopefully they will forgive you. good luck. let me know how it goes? [ lolalufonda222's advice column | Ask lolalufonda222 A Question ]
Lauraaxhelps answered Wednesday September 30 2009, 12:36 am: Well, cheating is never good. You had poor judgement and i know you were wasted, but it was a huge mistake. You need to explain to your friends that you were completely wasted and you had absolutely no control over yourself, you already hurt your boyfriend when he found out you cheated, and you hurt her for cheating on your boyfriends with a guy she likes. you simply just need to make a really formal apology and hope for the best. maybe take your friend out to lunch and explain yourself a little, and your boyfriend out to lunch the day after. and if they still hate you after you apologized, atleast you clarified stuff with them right?

That is a pretty crappy thing to do and there's really no excuse for it.
