Although they got engaged in Switzerland last November, things have been questionable between The Bachelor‘s Ben Flajnik and Courtney Robertson.  In the show’s After the Final Rose episode, Chris Harrison asked the duo about cheating rumors which have been circulating about Flajnik.  Although Flajnik ultimately denied the rumors, according to UsMagazine.com, there’s indisputable evidence in the form of three photos catching him in the act.  The photos supposedly prove that he’s had “more than friend” relations with at least three women since being engaged to Robertson.  One insider says, “Ben did not seem to care who saw him, considering his status on a prime-time reality show about finding true love.”  Perhaps the truth will come out soon!

Cupid’s Advice:

Cheating on a significant other is the ultimate betrayal of trust, so it’s important to get the facts before jumping to conclusions.  Cupid has some advice:

1. Approach the situation calmly: If you’re too quick to accuse your partner of cheating, you’ll destroy the relationship before hearing what your partner has to say about the allegations.  It could very well be some kind of miscommunication, so make sure to get the facts before letting your anger get the best of you.

2. Drop some hints: If you’re not comfortable simply bringing up the topic, drop some hints that there’s something important you need to discuss with your partner.  Usually a change in your usual routine will draw some curiosity.  That way, he’ll be prepared for the serious conversation.

3. Be prepared: There’s no doubt that cheating is not a pleasant conversation topic.  Make sure you’re prepared with the points you want to make before going into it, so you can get it all out right away.  This way, you can keep the topic to one discussion instead of multiples over time.
