I live in DC and I’m 20 y/o. My boyfriend and I have been together for 3 years and I think he’s cheating on me. I’ve never had evidence to prove this but there are certain things about his behavior that leads me to believe that he is not being faithful to me. We are trying to have a baby, but I want to know for sure if he’s faithful before proceeding…

Okay! I’ll tell you like my Granny told me, if you think your mate is cheating, 9 times out of 10 HE IS… I don’t know exactly what he’s doing to make you feel this way but it’s always smart to follow your intuition.
What concerns me is that you guys are trying to have a baby which means you are having UNPROTECTED SEX (nooooooo!!!). First things first, the baby can wait. You have your whole ahead of you. Live your life to the fullest. Gather experiences and inspirations to past down to your children. Think this through fully. Wait a little while; your child will thank you for it.
And listen, always, I mean ALWAYS practice safer sex. Questions… If you’re not sure that this guy is being faithful to you, uh, why are you sleeping with him without protection?!? You’re putting yourself at risk for contracting an STI and/or HIV. In your area every 1 out of 20 people are HIV Postitive. This is a very serious situation.
Here’s what I want you to: For starters, go to your doctor and get tested for HIV and any other STI’s. If you feel uncomfortable doing this at your regular Primary Care Physician, contact your local Department of Health for resources to clinics where you can go and have this done. Most of the clinics are free. (Yay!).
Secondly, if you don’t trust this guy, “Can Him”! Move on to someone that you can trust. If you choose not to do this, promise me you’ll stop sleeping with him without protection at once. If he loves you, he’ll understand. If you love yourself, his decision won’t affect yours. Self-love is vital for our survival.
Make wise choices,
E.
