Hey Guys, It's ,e again. It's not about me this time, it's about one of my close friends,she was recently dating a guy, that cheated on her... He told her straight over the phone and for a few days was a total mess, crying over just his name. But today she got back together with him, I'm really worried about her being cheated on again, he said that 'didn't want to' and stuff but I just don't like to see her upset. He says he would never do it again, but don't they say 'once a cheater always a cheater'?

BondGirl72 agony auntYou just have a to be a friend and hope she makes good decisions. I know it is hard, particularly when you are probably the one she runs to when things go wrong. Some women will always go back to a cheater. Sometimes they think he won't cheat again...and sometimes he doesn't. Usually he finds out that if he did it once and he got away with it, he can do it again and she'll take him back.

Try to be a good friend and stay by her side if you can. She probably needs as many good friends as she can get if she is going through this with her boyfriend.

janniepeg agony auntShe is going back for the reassurance that she is still desired by her boyfriend. I don't believe in once a cheater always a cheater. After this incidence the trust is gone but what she wants right now is not a long term thing with him, but a desperate repair for her broken heart. He was the cause of it and she hopes he can be the cure of it too. She is counting on the hope that love conquers everything and could right the wrongs, the love that can reform a bad boy.

lmao1989 agony auntThis is true i mean i cannot say it is completely true as I am not sure whether people can change if they really want too i'd like to believe that they can.

With your friend the only thing you can really do right now is just be there for her and support her decision right now. Don't tell her you think it's bad and that you feel he's going to do it again you'll just have to bite your tongue for now.

When people are in a relationship it is sometimes difficult for them to see the guy you see because they probably don't want to believe it whether or not he admitted it if she feels he is genuine then you'll have to be there for her and comfort her if it goes the way you think it will.

Right now just be supportive in her decision making whether you feel it's right for her or not.

She'll make up her own mind on her own if it happens again she'll know whether she made the right choice.

Some people don't want to believe it whether or not it is true and believe that giving more chances will help it change.

Just be her friend and if she needs you provide that help you want to offer to her.

Hope this helps and i hope he does change for your friend.
