DEAR DEIDRE: MY boyfriend and I have a relationship our friends and family envy but he had a drunken one-night stand that changed everything.
We met two years ago. He’s 25 and I am 24. We knew we were soulmates.
Every day was fun-filled, we were always laughing and joking. Friends said they wished they had what we have.
But he met a girl in a bar in August and had sex with her. He was completely honest and asked me to forgive him, but I ended our relationship.
He kept calling me and sending me flowers. Eventually I took him back. He is doing everything possible to rebuild my trust, but I still think about it 24/7.
I feel embarrassed that others know and are judging us. Am I stupid for forgiving him?
DEIDRE SAYS: No. Those other people are probably envying the way you two are rebuilding trust.
Don’t value yourself through others’ opinions. Your feelings are what matter. You want to be with him and he’s doing his level best.
If you deepen your understanding of one another your relationship can be stronger for knowing what you nearly lost.
