Dear Miss Smartypants, I can't really begin to explain the particulars, but my boyfriend and I broke up for bizarre reasons a couple of months ago. We stayed in each other's orbit, so we were constantly pulled back together. Eventually, we decided to get back together. We are both pretty excited to be together again. Except for one thing -- while we were apart, I slept with one of his friends. It was just one time. One that neither of us has any interest in repeating. The friend thinks this should stay between us. I want to tell my boyfriend. Not out of guilt, exactly. We were both free agents at the time. I just don't want this hanging over my boyfriend and me when we're just starting out (again). Should I say something? Or should I keep this to myself? One Night Stand Secret Dear Secret, At the beginning of the final season of Felicity, Felicity cheated on her boyfriend with his roommate. Her advisor/guidance counsellor/weird contrivance person advised her that honesty isn't always the best policy, kindness is. Whenever people wonder what the next step should be, that scene always comes back to me. Of course, Felicity was a TV show, so loads of drama followed. So ask yourself this: how likely is it that boyfriend will find out what happened through some other means? What will the fallout be? What happened wasn't just some random hook up. You slept with his friend. As long as your STI panel comes back clean (yes, you need to get one), keep your lips, and your pants, zipped. Kindly, Miss Smartypants Got problems? Sure ya do.
