What do you think of this advice?

Asked by wundayatta (58722points) August 18th, 2009

My 13 year old daughter is a bit of a “Dear Abby” for her friends. So she has an “advice column” of sorts. Someone asked her what she should do if her boyfriend went out on a date with her best friend.

My daughter said, to summarize, that she should dump the boyfriend and forgive the bf, after talking to her. I guess she believes that boys come and go, but friends are for forever.

So what do you think of this advice? Would you be as forgiving if your bf went out with your boy or girlfriend? What would it take to be able to forgive the bf? Is this sensible advice for a novice teen?
