Dear Mamma Souffle,

I caught my boyfriend cheating on me with my suitcmatc last week. I'm absolutely devastated by it. The worst part is that they don't know that I know. I keep hoping that they'll confess what they're doing so that I don't have to confront them. I'm afraid of confrontation. Now I just don't know what to do. I'm really hurt and angry. I definitely want to g"t back at both of them, but I'm not sure how. Nothing like this has ever happened to me before. I'm not real- ly good friends with my suitemate. but I never guessed that she would do something like this to me. Please help.

Sincerely, The Betrayed

Dear Betrayed,

I'm so sorry for your terrible situation. Nothing is worse than being cheated on. It's a shame that we can only converse through the written word. There are lots of things that I would like to tell you in person. The first of which is how to recognize the kind of guy who'll cheat. They're pretty easy to identify. Now let's get down to business. I know you're feeling wounded and depressed, but you really should be happy. You definitely have the upper hand in the situation and heads will roll once you're through evac»ing your revenge. Since neither your suitemate nor your boyfriend know that you arc aware of their little indiscretion, you'll be able to circulate between them and do all sorts of nasty things to tliem that they'll never realize are coming from you. Your first area of attack should be the suitemate. I can only hope that she is taking the pill as a means of birth control. I would recom- mend replacing her pills with sugar pills that you can purchase from your local pharmacy. Be careful not to get caught doing this little exchange because it might land you in serious trouble, but the anxi- ety it will cause might be well worth it. You be the judgw When people cheat, sex is generally the main reason why. So attacking your enemies sex lives will be the best. There are all sorts of ways that you can make their sexual activities difficult. I would recommend giving your boyfriend a pill that enhances libido in men. You could always tell him that it's a headache medicine or a mind- altering drug if he's into that sort of thing. Now these sexual enhancement drugs are designed for older men. The results in younger men are much more extreme since they generally arc not in need on any improvement in their libido. The results will make for a painful and embarrassing evening for your cheating boyfriend. Just make sure when you give him the pill that he isn't planning on reporters & editors spending the night with you. but rather with your treacherous suite- mate. Your second course of action should be to find a new boyfriend news right away. Just make sure that you don't tell your cheating boyfriend about it. This will give the cheating boyfriend a good healthy dose of his own medicine and you'll be all prepared to move features on with your new boyfriend oncc your old one goes down in flames.
