Friends vs boyfriends

If he's this smarmy, dump him

Hey Contessa and Vanessa,

I have a boyfriend who I've been going out with for 2 years and my friends have never particularly warmed to him, but recently they've told me he has cheated on me. A couple of my friends said they know he's been with at least two other girls, but I fear this is all just stemmed from jealousy, because they fancied him to start with! I've broached the subject with my boyfriend and he was fuming at the accusation! He swears he's been faithful, but who do I believe, my friends, or my boyfriend?

Please help! Fiona, Manchester.

Hey Fiona,

Obviously your friends are there to look out for you and if more than one friend is telling you these things about him, it strongly suggests there may be some truth in it. Why have they never warmed to him? You have to ask yourself that question, because sometimes when we're in so deep with someone, we lose sight of reality and your friends are there to keep you level headed! Perhaps you should find out some more details from your friends and try and suss whether this is just jealousy (in which case, they may not give much detail!) or whether this is fact, especially if they've seen it first hand. Your friends are there for a reason - so use them!

Hello Fiona,

You have to be wary here. Often if friends don’t outwardly “warm” to your beau that means that inwardly they are red-hot with either lust or jealousy (or both). Do your friends have long-term boyfriends? If not they may just be extremely jealous that you have a constant supply of sex, hugs and lightbulb-changing whilst they sit at home and cry into their cats. Either that or your boyfriend is a scheming prick. It’s a tough one to call. Ask your friends for video evidence, or hire one of those honey-trap girls. It’s a small price to pay for peace of mind my dear.

Good luck, Vanessa
