Hi Princess Darby!

You are simply an amazing person who has been able to help me out of some of life's tough spots with your advice column. Thank you!

I now have a question about cheating boyfriends. Is it worth staying in a relationship with someone if you've found them cheating on you not once, but twice in your time together?

Dear Unsure About New Romance,

What, this was allowed to happen a second time!? What's that saying, once shame on him, twice shame on you?!

Even in baseball, three strikes and you're out. But, I wouldn't wait for the third strike! This game is over. If you strongly think about this, you may agree that in one's love life, and commitments, you can't always hit a home run.

There's a foul game here. The players in this relationship aren't playing by the rules. The umpire calls this game over due to cheating.

You know your partner and the circumstances. I don't. No matter how much time you have invested in your relaltionship, cheating is not tolerated in a trusting partnership. You make the decision on how you want to handle this and approach your partner.

It's spring season, there are alot of fabulous players out there, so I'd get out there and have some fun. You'll find someone who'll appreciate you and a faithful relationship. I know change is hard, but that's how we grow, and life's too short for any time of abuse.
