I recently heard that my boyfriend is cheating me, but I don't know if it's true. He told someone that he would hook them up with his friend, if they hooked him up with another girl.  He denies it, and I think he's sincere. What should I do?

Beware of secondhand information.  Unless the informant is a true-blood friend, you have no idea how the situation transpired or how the results were interpreted.  The exchange could have been casual flirting, raunchy joking, or symbolic poetry.  The only way to know what really happened is to have been there, or ask the person you trust most.  In this case, it sounds like you have more faith in your boyfriend, than in just "having heard."  There are too many variables for me to take a position about your man's wanderings, but I for sure would reconsider putting stock in the information presented.

What should you do? It depends - do you trust the "tattle-tale" more than your boyfriend? If so, break up with the lying scum. If not, break off with the lying troublemaker!
