"We're talking about our relationship skills today, in particular how to deal and handle a cheating boyfriend. My name is Joe Cuenco, I'm with Family Resources and what actually is the best way to handle a cheating boyfriend? My question would be, why would you want to? But if you're going to, you need to understand what really is the root cause of this behavior. And you need to take an introspective look because, is he cheating because he's not getting satisfying sex? Is he not being physical enough and is there not enough physicality in your relationship together? You need to communicate, talk about it. If he's got an issue of a low self-esteem or a low self confidence, then he needs help, he needs professional help. There's nothing that you're going to be able to help him from that view point. Or, could it be that there's some excessive drinking, some drug use or some issues going on to where he's getting involve and feeling need to cheat. If you feel like you need to keep him out of harm's way, let him stay away from strip clubs and bars and places where he might have the opportunity to cheat. But realistically, why would you want to? I mean, this is really a slippery slope and it's a bad situation with very few good and positive outcomes because it really displays a lot of deep respect, trust and trust according to relationship experts is the paramount issue. So realistically, how do you deal with a cheating boyfriend or handle a cheating boyfriend? Realistically, it don't. You look for somebody whose going to treat you with trust, respect, love and commitment. I'm Joe Cuenco with Family Resources Relationships For Life."
