how do i handle this?

Question

i am 18 and have been with my boyfriend for 3 years we have had our ups and downs. he has cheated on me and he says he loves me and will never do it again he sounds honest and sincere, this is the first time he has cheated in 3 years and i dont know if i should beleive him. he said that i am the only one for him and that the sex is great but i cant help but wonder how am i great if he cheated on me? i mean yes it was only once but it could happen again. so should i beleive him or should i leave him? i love the guy and im really confused. i have a few secrets to but none while we have bewn together. i use to be a slut and cheat but i stoped and i dont know if he will though. should i trust the man i have loved for 3 years. i am 18 and hes 22 so shouldnt i be the one who is not ready to commit. iwould really like some help. he said he loves me and he wont do it again but should i beleive him. i really love him and im confused.

Answer 1

you can't really be mad if you use to cheat if you really love him then forgive him and move on don't cry over spilled milk because it's already wasted he's a man and man gone be man and that's part of it y'all been together 3 years and he cheated once he didn't have to tell you he could of kept it going and never said a word to so shouldn't he get some plus points for that all i could say is forgive and forget if you love him stay if not then leave.

Answer 2

You are still young and the question you have to ask yourself is: Is he worth the trouble? Yes, I know you have been together for the past 3 years (you were 15? and he was 19?) you have alot of exploring and he may be tired and ready to explore himself.

Answer 3

O sweets... Once a cheater, always a cheater! I say leave.... or else you will always wonder if he is going to do it again and it will destroy your relationship.
