It’s time again for “Dear Wendy Updates,” a feature where people I’ve given advice to in the past let us know whether they followed the advice and how they’re doing today. After the jump, we hear from “Scarred by Past” whose ex-boyfriend confessed to cheating on her after she dumped him. She writes: “Why would someone in a healthy loving relationship do that to the person he loves? [...] Will it always be impossible to be completely sure that the person you’re with, even if they love you to death, is not cheating on you? I know there must be guys out there that don’t do this stuff, but I think I’ll never truly trust any guy again. At the same time I don’t want to be that girl, like many friends of mine, who never allows herself to get really attached so she won’t get hurt. How should I deal with this?”
