Dear Kareem,

I’ve been dating my baby daddy for 5 years on and off. We are talking about getting married soon, but I keep finding and hearing things about him cheating on me. He says I’m the only one, but there’s something deep down in my heart telling me there’s someone else. I love him to death but I don’t know what to do CAN YOU PLEASE HELP ME!!

Kareem Says:

I have always felt like you should follow your gut instinct. When you feel that something is not right about a situation, it usually is the case. I have gone against my better judgment several times in my life and regretted it each time.

You have been with him for 5 years and have a child together. You need to ask yourself: do the pros outweigh the cons? Is having him in your life really worth it? Take “love” out the equation and really make out a list of how this man benefits you, your child, and your future. Since you have no proof that he is cheating on you, all you can do is speculate and worry. If you really want to find out, hire a private eye to follow him for a month. Then make your decision.

Got a question for Kareem? Email him at Kareem.JenkinsNYC@gmail.com

Should you forgive a cheater? Kareem answers!

Should you live with your ex for the sake of your child?

    go with your first mind sweetie. if you continue to stay in this relationship with him and you feel that he is cheating on you then you are not doin nothing but making it harder on yourself. its plenty of fish out there in the sea. i agree with kareem. good luck with what you decide to do.

    I got cheated on through myspace…when I was pregnant. I kept having dreams and seeing it over and over…I went with my gut and was right. Not only iwll my baby daddy/ ex fiancee` never meet this girl that lives hundreds of miles away. He’s lost my trust because he couldn’t handle the stress…don’t put yourself through it. IT IS A WASTE OF TIME!

    the answer is all in you really. you dont have to go anywhere else. its hard to accept that we already know the truth, so we go finding it somewhere else. stay strong for you and your son. i just got myself out of the same situation and all though i thought i was so lost without him, i didn’t let him break me but i used the situation to make me stronger. i was going crazy for a few weeks, i thought my world was over! theres a lesson to everything and you’ll only repeat it if you didn’t catch the point of what you’re trying to teach yourself. hope all goes well.

    IF HE DID IT ONCE, HE’LL DO IT AGAIN. LONG AS HE SEE THAT YOU’LL FALL FOR THAT LIE. HE’S GOING TO KEEP CHEATING. I’VE BEEN THERE!

    i agree with goddess_987. i’m going through the same thing. i’m expecting my first and me and the baby daddy been together off and on for 3 years now. i see it like this, he hasn’t changed last year or the year before, what makes us think they gone change next year. if a man really cares about us they wouldn’t put us through all this. it may seem lonely at first but there is another man out there who will care and do for u and your child. that’s how i motivate myself but i hate sittin here wondering what he doin when i know he’s cheatin still.

    my story is almost exactly like ‘MzBubbleButt22′ and now my son is a year old. i left my child’s father at the beginning of my pregnancy for the same reasons. he hadnt shown progression & i wasnt trying to wait around & see if he would. he’s been just short of a dead beat father. i can count on my hands how many times he’s spent time with his son & contributed with money. currently i am happily engaged with an awesome man who stood by me through my pregnancy & now adores my son as his own. anythings possible!

    I know this may seem strange and this maynot be your case but i have a few friends that use to cheat on they girlfriend like it wasnt nothing, then they told me they was going to marry the girl friend and i would say are you going to be faithful. Well these same friends been married 2 and 5 years now and they havent step out cause they say they love their wife and they made an oath in front of god. So who knows.

    I love the subtraction of love from the equation…. That how so many people get caught up, thinking that love is the only thing that matters. That’s a big reason why there is so many couples are divorced now.

    But no, I wouldn’t (if I had one) marry my baby daddy. If all you two do is fight and ooze negativity (whether its cheating, or speculation of it etc); that can’t be good for the child and his/her possible view of relationship and love. It could start a vicious cycle.
