Have faith in girlfriend
By Jon Busdeker on Jun. 14, 2007
Dear Emily: My girlfriend and I will be apart this summer while home from college, and I’m worried that she might cheat on me. Her ex-boyfriend from high school, “Gary” will be around her constantly, and I just don’t trust him. What should I do to make sure the two of them don’t decide to become more than friends?

Dear Doubting Devotion: Is it Gary you don’t trust, or your girlfriend? Because it sounds like your lack of faith in her is what is causing the problem.
If you have a strong relationship and no reason to believe she would cheat, then just relax and trust her. But if there is a reason why you think she’d be unfaithful, you have more to worry about than just Gary.
The two of you need to work on trust building, and you can start by telling her how you feel about Gary. Communication will be the key to making this work.
