Dear Jasmine,
My boyfriend went to the bowling alley with some friends and his ex was there. He tells me that he did not invite her there. I asked him if anything happened and he said that they only said hi to each other and that was it.
The next day, my friend told me that she say my boyfriend flirting and kissing his ex girlfriend. When I asked my boyfriend he said that he didn’t kiss her but that she pushed his head to kiss her.
So he retells me the story and admits to the flirting but says that some of the things my friend said was not true. He said that he lied about it because he was afraid I would get mad.
Anyways my boyfriend has a history of flirting with girls and has lied about it one or two times. He swears that he didn’t do anything with her but I believe he is lying.

Dear Terrisa,
Your boyfriend sounds far from ideal. How many times does he have to lie to you before you realize that you need more respect then what he is giving you? Relationships aren’t just about how much you like one another.
Relationships also include mutual respect and trust. If you don’t have that, the relationship isn’t going to go far. If you stay in the relationship, you will probably just continue to listen to his lies time and time again.
Only you can stop the cycle by leaving the situation and realizing that you deserve much better then that. Many girls stay in this kind of relationship because they don’t believe they deserve better or they just love the drama.
You can choose the road you take and your future. Do you want this kind of guy in your future?
Always here,
Jasmine
