[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think I'd take the opportunity to tell her what you overheard - you were not eavesdropping, she was talking in the room right next to where you were.

Talk to her about integrity, about treating others with kindness and respect. [b] She is young and there is no need for her to have a steady boyfriend or to commit to one boy.  It is o.k. to play the field.  What is not o.k. is the way she is being dishonest with her boyfriend - giving him the impression that they are exclusive while seeing other boys behind his back.[/b]  That sort of behavior is not only hurtful to her boyfriend, it also reflects very poorly on your daughter in so many different ways.

+1.  In high school I considered kissing another guy to be cheating, and I did it, and they never found out.  I am incredibly faithful wife.  I had boyfriends because that's what we did in my small town, but wasn't sleeping with any of them, and knew that I wasn't ever going to marry any of them.  She's just learning about relationships, and if she's "cheating," she's probably just learning how to deal with receiving attention, and there will be some bumps on that road.  I disagree that it reflects very poorly on her, and disagree that this is a sign of an absent father.  OP should talk about relationships generally, how jealousy feels, how she would feel if she thought her boyfriend were kissing/flirting/whatever with another girl.  OP should just talk about it and not assume that her daughter is lacking empathy or that her behavior is in any way indicative of what her later relationships will be like.[/quote]
