I got some bad news recently.
I mean, when I think about what’s going on in the world, I know it's not that bad. But in my little corner of the world, it's bad and...I'm devastated. I found out my boyfriend (my doting, loving, fantabulously fantastic boyfriend) kissed another girl.
That's news you never expect (or are prepared) to receive.
But, I have to be thankful I found out. He actually told me (after trying his best to conceal it for one too many days). And the girl, she was my friend (or at least I thought she was). It was apparently after their office Christmas party and they both had a few drinks in them (to say the very least). It has turned into a game of ,"He said, she said, they said", and the opinions are all starting to wear me down...
My boyfriend says that she kissed him, that she pounced on him and kissed him. The girl says she can’t remember who kissed who. He says he loves me and he wished it didn’t happen. She also says he loves me. My friends say that he’s “shady”. I say it was what he says it was… a drunken mistake that meant nothing. But I have to wonder, am I being naïve?
As anyone would, I have concerns. It's been two weeks since I found out and I am definitely not over it. The whole situation crosses my mind at least a few times a day and I can't help but think about...
1) The fact that they still work together, which makes me completely and totally uncomfortable. Should I ask him to quit? Is that overbearing? Do I have the right? I trust him, but I absolutely don’t trust her. She has always made ridiculous comments to me about finding him attractive and thinking he is (and I really am quoting her), “an amazing guy”. Clearly, we all know what kind of girl she is…
2) If he's lying. Did she really kiss him? Or is he only saying that because he knows it'll make me the least mad? If she did kiss him, then he claims innocence. But can a fairly intoxicated man in the back of a taxi with a fairly attractive female (and oh how it pains me to say that!) really not kiss back??
And finally…and I think, most importantly...
3) What will this do to our relationship? Am I always going to be worried about where he is and who he’s with? Is this a breach of trust that can never be repaired? I hate them both for doing this to our relationship…because quite honestly, before this, it was pretty much perfect.
I love my boyfriend; in fact, I hope one day to marry him. Should this be a dealbreaker?
I’d love to hear what you think.
