Could He Be Cheating?

Dear Miss Emily:
I feel paranoid that my boyfriend is seeing other
girls. He has this one girl friend that he hangs out with and plays
video games, but I keep asking myself questions about what if he isn't,
and what if he's just lying to me to make me feel better.I have talked
to him about it, and he said that nothing is going on and they are just
friends. I wish i could stop over-thinking things. Help!

Well, he wouldn't be lying to you to make you feel better, he would be lying to you so he could get away with something he wouldn't want you to know. Playing video games with this girl is not a glaring example of cheating. You'd need more info to take him to the mat. There's nothing wrong with him having friends of the opposite sex when he is involved with you -- it's just a matter of how much you would be included. If you're not a video player, there's no harm in him playing with her. I'm not saying he's innocent, because I don't know him. But you don't really have anything concrete in terms of his disloyalty and, until you do, I'd enjoy my relationship with him without the paranoia. Just let him know that if he does decide to move on, you want to be the first to know, and you will handle it with unparalleled sophistication!
