Justin Timberlake, 30, accompanied combat instructor Kelsey De Santis to the Instructor Battalion Marine Corps Ball on Saturday, making good on his previous promise.  The singer and actor accepted De Santis’ invitation over the summer.  After the fact, Timberlake had nothing, but excellent things to say of the experience, saying that it “was one of the most moving evenings” he’s ever had and that he was “really blown away.” The star was very humbled by the experience and was surprised that such a young lady was representative of those that look after our freedom, according to People.  He described them as “humble, concerned for others before themselves.”

What do you do if your partner continually breaks promises?

Cupid’s Advice:

If you’re in a relationship and your partner continually breaks promises, it’s time to take some action.  Here are some options:

1. Talk to your partner: It might sound simple, but sometimes the best solution to broken promises is by talking to your partner and getting more information.  Making them aware of how these breaks in trust affect you may appease the situation.

2. Put it in perspective: Decide whether their broken word is something minor or major.  If it’s something as inconsequential as not putting out the trash after he said he would, there may just be a problem with communication.  Don’t let a minor problem escalate for no reason.

3. Think about your relationship: Discern how you want things to develop in your relationship.  Perhaps make a list of pros and cons and look at them with an objective eye.  If the pros significant outweigh the cons, it may still be worth working on the relationship.

    I made it clear with my partner that I don’t like him to break any of his promises unless it’s out of his hands. Setting the right expectations sometimes help and of course talking to him will really help. Letting him know how you feel will help him think twice the next time.

    As they say promises are meant to be broken. Not for us because we both agree that we will not promise a thing unless we really are truthful about it. We don’t want this issue to be the cause to end our relationship.

    If things go out of your hand, always talk to your partner. They are not mind readers so always tell them what you feel about a certain issue. I learned this the hard way so have to share it with you.

    I just think and put in my heart that we’re not really meant to be.

    To deal with broken promises is just let it go easily and never look back on the good things before.

    Whenever someone promised something to me, I just let my heart open on it.
