Does his mistake make me niave for forgiving him?

My boyfriend and I have been together three years. He's a great boyfriend, and we love each other dearly.

I found out he's was calling some girl he met on myspace, and it really upset me. (He hasn't met this girl before she lives out of state.) I confronted him about it and we argued. I asked him to give me some space for a few days. After several days he came over my house and we talked about it. He hadn't spoke with the girl since our argument and we called her. I politely listened to what she had to say and asked her nicely not to call anymore. She agreed and apologized and that was the end if it!

It's been three months, and everything is back to normal. We both decided to delete our myspace pages and spend more time together to reconcile. My friends keep calling me "dumb" and "stupid" for forgiving him. They barely even know him! We have no mutual friends.

Does anyone think that relationships can be salvaged anymore? If everyone gives up, how is anybody going to find happiness

It sounds like the two of you discussed the problem, dealt with it and moved on. Your friends should do the same. Your relationship sounds fine and your communication is great! Well done!
Sometimes friends can be jealous of great relationships. Don't let them ruin what you have with this man. He sounds like he genuinely cares about you and stopped his behavior. It's not like he was sleeping around. And you just need to trust that it will never get to that point.
I think it's big of you to listen to him, to her, decide together what to do and proactively go about enriching your relationship. Kudos!

It's not a matter of giving up; however, you have to find out what his intentions were behind talking to that girl from myspace.

If he has intentions to cheat on you, then there's a great chance it can happen again in the future; but this time, he'll try to be more slick about it to not get caught.

You're not "dumb" or "stupid" for forgiving him; however, think about it, would you want him to forgive you if you had done something like that? This is just to test out the waters on how you would feel about a decision like that was made.

I'm not saying that he cheated once, he'll cheat again because he didn't do much but he was being secretive and that's not good; everything must come out on the table in a relationship in order for that relationship to work out. Talk to him about it and let him know that it took a great deal of effort to forgive him and that you've lost in a little trust in him because of that. If he's in love with you, he'll never do it again but you must keep him satisfied.

I know you feel betrayed and all..but it's just myspace..a place for friends..ya'll are going to be just fine...
