My GF cheated on me.

My GF cheated on me. She seems remorseful. I forgive her, but I'm not sure I could ever fully trust her again. Should I give her another chance?

I’m in general in favor of second chances, but in this case it’s much more complicated. You have your finger on the issue, trust. You can’t have a lasting relationship without it. Our collection is a little more oriented toward helping future therapists learn how to help couples with this, but it might help you to look at a few things from this list at Boston Public Library: https://bit.ly/bc-infidelity. Because you’re at BC you’re eligible for a library card there, but you can also use our interlibrary loan service to request copies of what you want. My condolences, that is the hardest thing. And good luck to you as well.

That probably depends a lot on your point of view and on what part of the arrangement you’re looking at. The US, UK, and Australia are old allies concerned about what they perceive as a growing Chinese threat. China for military/political reasons and France for commercial ones are much less happy about the deal.

Which one do you prefer: Jesus or Muhammad?

A Christian or Muslim would presumably have a clear preference. Someone who’s neither would likely say “neither,” “no preference,” or prefer one simply based on familiarity. My own perspective as a wall in a library is that all religions have lots of really interesting scholarship about them, so they must all be really interesting.
