YOU CHEATED

GUILTY GAL: Relationships shouldn’t be mathematically complicated: One plus one equals couple. The definition of cheating may be different for everyone—but you know that bringing another “one” into your life totally crossed the line…and unfortunately, so does your ex.

WHAT NOW: Think back to your dating days with your former BF. Why exactly did you cheat? Were you unhappy with him? Did you get bored? Was it hard to control your wandering eye? Whatever it was, you don’t want to be known as “the girl who cheats” (talk about ruining your chances with a future flame!). So next time you’re tempted by someone else, think about what you have in front of you. If you don’t want to be with him any more, break it off right away—don’t go behind his back.
