Although I’m not thoroughly experienced, in the small (very small) number of relationships I’ve been in, I can recall a certain boy who was a lesson learned. I can remember some of my guy friends and the problems they sometimes had. Cheating is a double edged blade and it effects both boy and girls.

So how do you prevent it? How do you stop it?

If he or she was disrespectful enough to manipulate you or cheat on you then you shouldn’t be concerned about stopping it. If you’re insecure enough to need information on how to prevent it then your relationship isn’t where it needs to be.

This is where point two comes in. High school isn’t for serious relationships or worrying about whether your significant other is cheating on you because if you’re worried about it, chances are it’s happening. The burden of an unhealthy relationship is nothing someone needs on top of classes, jobs and other friendships outside the relationship. If you suspect your significant other is cheating, save yourself the hassle and pain and confront them. There is no use in dragging out something that is already dead.
