Too Tall, Too Dishonest, Too Fond of His Phone

Dear Ms. Meniscus,

I have been living with my boyfriend for about three years now and we have a beautiful 10 month old son together, but recently I have found out that he has been cheating on me with a girl he does training with by exchanging dirty emails and text messages on his mobile phone. He says that he loves me and that it was a big mistake but I can't seem to get it out of my mind. He tells me to get over it but it is so hard. Please help me get over it and gain the trust that he has broken.

-Not Getting Over It

Dear Not Getting Over It,

Ms. Meniscus believes that you have to make a choice to either be with him, or find someone who can have a relationship with you without seeking companionship elsewhere. If this person has cheated on you once, who's to say that he won't do it again. Ms. Meniscus advises you to think about this and decide if you really think that this was a big mistake and that this behavior is clearly over. If you do choose to stay with him, it will be a long, hard road for him to gain that trust back. If he is telling you in the meantime to "get over it," perhaps this is not an emotionally stable or mature individual, and perhaps you should consider a break.

Dear Ms. Meniscus,

It's not really a problem per say but just a question that I need to hear the right answer too. See, I am madly in love with this guy. It's been a year and I have had no regrets yet. The only slight issue is his height. I'm 5'10" and he's 5'4" but we still are a matching pair together. The thing is is that when we go in public, I feel kind of self conscious because all the other couples around us, the guy seems to be taller than the woman. Of course if I had one wish it would be for him to be taller. But he's the one never the less. And I'd take him whatever height, whatever color, whatever country, etc. I just need someone to make me feel better about this situation before I decide whether or not to tie the not. Thank you.

-Tall and In Love

Dear Tall and In Love,

Ms. Meniscus advises you to put aside your self-consciousness and be happy with what you have. It sounds as though you have a wonderful relationship and that you have found someone who although is not big in stature, is big in his love for you. If you love this person, that is enough, and it sounds as if you yourself have come to this conclusion as well. Ms. Meniscus cannot tell you whom to marry, but she can encourage your self-assertion.

Dear Ms. Meniscus,

Ok, so I started dating this kid like a year and a half ago and the relationship was on and off and I always went back to him. He wasn't even a good boyfriend but I really liked and cared for him and like a few months ago we broke things off completely and were still seeing each other (I thought we were seeing each other and he told me we were when I asked what was going on between us.) only I didn't know that he was saying the same thing to one of my good friends that I was close with for almost 5 years. He was screwing with both of our heads at the same time. Is it really crappy on my friend's side for seeing him at the same time or is it even more crappy of him to do it? or is it both? Should I just forget about both of them?

-Betrayed and Befuddled

Dear Betrayed and Befuddled,

Ms. Meniscus advises you to move on from both your lacking relationship with this boy and your lacking friendship with this girl. Both are clearly interested in their own priorities, rather than thinking of others, and only hurt can result from this behavior. Keep in mind that their are many fish in the sea, including ones that do not lie or cheat but instead appreciate you for all that you are. Put some distance between you and these individuals, and you'll be better off!
