A female United States age 30-35, *Kimmi3* writes:

Dear Cupid,

My best friend is 17 and is in a relationship with a 22 year old. They have been together for 3 years and have an infant child together. He is constantly cheating on her, so she leaves him but he always comes running back and begging for her to take him back, saying he will change. So my friend and I would like to know how to prevent him from cheating on her again, so she and her baby can have him in their lives and have a happy family together once again?

A female reader, TasteofIndia United States +, writes (6 August 2009):

TasteofIndia agony auntShe needs to stand her ground or leave him. One or the other. She shouldn't have to put up with cheating, and if he won't stop then she should stop being with him. You can't force him to change and if he won't, your friend shouldn't tolerate the cheating so that her child can have an extremely half-ass, disrespectful father. Her child deserves a better role model and your friend deserves a better partner.

Tell her to be firm, and that this is his last strike. He's got to make a major turnaround and commitment.

He won't stop because she doesn't demand it.

If she's taking him back then she's tolerating it. It doesn't matter how dissatisfied she says she is, she's obviously still not dissatisfied enough to permanently kick him out. So he doesn't have to stop doing it just to keep her, does he?
