Dear Pastor,

I am 18-year-old and I just can't seem to trust my boyfriend. We have been together for a while now, and it is like it has been the same from when we started as friends. He is still seeing other girls who are calling him late at nights when we are together.

I just don't know what to do. The other day I got into an argument with his ex because she saw us together. I walked away because I am not the type of girl who curses over any man. He told me he loves me, and that the feeling is strong but I don't believe him. What should I do? I need your advice because I am very uncomfortable.

Uncomfortable,

Dear Uncomfortable,

You are only one among the number of women this man has as his girlfriends. The woman who challenges you and cursed you is not his ex as you described her. She is very much in the 'runnin'. Therefore, you would be very silly to consider yourself his special woman. He does not see you as special. You are just another girl with whom he has fun from time to time when you can facilitate him.

May I encourage you to try your very best to get an education. Don't allow young men to fool you or hinder you from making progress. Men will always be around and they will always want to get under your skirt (or in your pants). Therefore, you should learn from early not to believe everything a man says, because even when some men are shedding tears they are lying.

Pastor
