TEEN QUESTION/PROBLEM:
So, I'm straight, so it might seem weird that I'm asking a question on the GLBT board, but something has happened to me that has suddenly made me become a part of this world, and I have never needed more help in my life. I've been dating a guy for a year and 8 months. I love him, and he's told me that he loves me. We've been sexually active since six months in. I have no regrets. However, I got an email the other day from one of my best friends since I was six, who is gay. In this message, my 'best friend' told me he had had sex with my boyrfriend six times over the past two months, and that my boyfriend has had sex with three other guys, all while I was dating him. I honestly thought it was a joke because I completely trust my boyfriend and know he wouldn't do anything like that. After talking to him, he admitted to it. He said that he was experimenting on feelings he had been having, and that he now is a bisexual. That's not what my problem is. I'm so angry at him for cheating on me, and it wouldn't matter if it was with a boy or a girl. He said that he only feels sexual attraction to men, where he feels emotional and sexual attraction with women (he's had like 4 other girlfriends). Help. What do I do? It's still fresh, and I don't know what to think? Do I forgive him? My greatest fear is that he will cheat on me again because he feels unfulfilled by me.

TEEN LINE WROTE:
Wow a thousand feelings must be running through your head. Angered that he cheated on you, confused on whether to stay with him or not, shocked that you found out about him and your best friend, and betrayed that he would do that to you. You must really feel overwhelmed by this whole situation. How do you think he will react if you would be honest with him and tell him exactly how you feel? What about your best friend, could you talk to him about this situation since he is gay and might have a better understanding? How about talking to a trusted friend of relative? You also mentioned that you really love him, if you still feel that way, do you think that there is anything you can do to make it work? You can always call into TEEN LINE if you ever want to talk.
