He Has Cheated, What Do I Do Now?


Submitted by: Ginger

Q - Dear Annabelle,
I have been dating this guy for about two years. At the beginning he treated me great. A few weeks ago, I found out that he was cheating on me with a whole list of people. I felt like dying. Ever since then I have been seeing a therapist. I need to know what to do? Now, he wants to marry me

A - Dear Ginger,

This is a situation best dealt with between you and your therapist. Youâll need to address you anguish at the abandonment, and your feelings of betrayal. Youâll want to discuss how it is that he is cheating, wanting to marry you, and that you are asking Îwhat to do?â about the situation. I can certainly hear your pain on this one. Be glad that you found out now....and, be aware that, at 19, youâre nowhere near the age where marriage is a good idea. Marriage is NOT Îadvanced datingâ....you want to be a good deal more mature and able to attract a better quality of guy before you consider a decision that will have you paired with another person for 50+ years. There are WORSE situations, you know......like having this question arise AFTER youâve married someone. Donât be in such a rush.
