- So it looks to me that your dilemma is that your girlfriend might accuse you because her cousin called you. Honestly, I find this a little strange in two ways.

Hi Philip,
I am in a big dilemma. I have dated my girlfriend for two years now. It just so happens that she uses her cousin’s phone to call me. One day she forgot to delete a record of our communication so my phone number was left on her cousin’s phone. Her cousin called me insisting that I date her. My girlfriend doesn’t know this, but worse still, I have never even met her cousin.
What should I do?
Hi,
If I understand you correctly, your girlfriend’s cousin called you because your girlfriend left your phone number on her phone. So it looks to me that your dilemma is that your girlfriend might accuse you because her cousin called you. Honestly, I find this a little strange in two ways.
First, if she regularly used her cousin’s phone to call you, then you should not worry since you did not not initiate the call or exchange phone numbers with her. If this is the true position, you should let your girlfriend hear about it from you.
Second, it is strange that your girlfriend’s cousin would actually have the guts to call you yet you have never met her in person. Besides, her cousin — that is, your girlfriend — was not not even aware of her moves. Did she do it intentionally to trap you or was it an innocent call?
Since your girlfriend is not aware of this call, and if you truly love her and would like to maintain the relationship, she will have the right to be angry with you. The questions that your girlfriend might ask are who initiated the call and what the two of you discussed. If you are still interested in your girlfriend, be honest and disclose this to her.
To heal your relationship, there is a need for you to come clean on this issue.
What you should not do is to cover up this call since it could be used against you later. Do remember that cousins can be jealous of each other, particularly where one is dating and the other feels left out. I trust you will be man enough to deal honestly with these girls.
