Q: Scared that he's cheating on me

I dont even know where to begin with this. About 2 1/2 years ago I met this guy at work..nothing happened..I went to college for my freshman year, he finished his senior year in h.s. Came back that summer...and we met again, and sparks flew...we started dating exclusively but neither of us would put a title there bc we didn't know what the other wanted..well, i was leaving again for college soon so we wanted to figure out what we were exactly. We decided to go through with a long distance relationship. Before I left for college I ended up giving it up to him. I've never been with any other guy. He was just different. 8 months of college and we're still goin strong. We've been dating 16 months yesterday and recently things have gone downhill. About a month ago I caught him in a lie that I wished I'd never found. He was texting some girl who he said was "his sisters friend" and the text messages were out of line. I called him out on it..then called him out on his lie..it wasn't his sisters friend. He admitted it was a girl from work and came clean and apologized..he was in tears because he felt bad about it. He hadn't cheated on me, and swore he never would (since thats the reason his last relationship ended..the girl cheating on him). We talked things out..and I truly believe things would be fine, but theres still this parania in the back of my mind you know? So tonight..I grabbed his phone and found another outbox text message to a random number...I saved it to my phone for later and questioned him about it...he got pissed and said he was tired of me being all up in his caca,and went to bed..leaving me crying and upset. Well...I texted the number and get a call back...its another girl from his work. We talked..she said they were just acquaintances but he had tried to take it further though she wasn't interested. He's been asking her to chill and watch movies and hang out, when she couldn't he would text back sayin "well you'll have to make it up to me some other time then"...she said she saw his "promise ring" i gave him and asked if he was married...he said "no, i'm too young to be married"..."is it from your girlfriend"..."no i dont have a girlfriend"....well..the first girl..i just wanted to believe was a prostitute who was bullshitting me..this is the second time this is happening to me...i know what I SHOULD do...i should dump this loser and get over it right? easier said than done being that he's the guy I lost my virginity to and my first love. I hasn't cheated on me...but the fact that he's being flirty and trying to hang out with other girls and being all secretive about it drives me INSANE...as pathetic as it sounds..i'm scared to loose him...he's all i've known and i dont know what i'd do without him...i dont know what to do....sorry its SO long

It seems to me that you're caught between who to believe. Your heart wants to believe that she is lying, but your brain sees what he has done before and wants to believe the girl. I understand it is hard to let go of the ones you love, but you need to put yourself first here and if being with him is hurting you, you may want to end it sooner than later so the healing process can begin. You need to love yourself first here, put your mental and emotional happiness first. Talk to him about how he is making you feel and if you think you can trust him, then hopefully things will get better...but don't let yourself live in pain.

I want a man that wants ME.. one on one.. and if it looks he doesn't "so early in the game" what will he be like latter in life when the thirll of new wares off.

I won't tell him to hit the road. First love or not you are way to young to have a man that is already lieing to you! You caught him twice.. one time is a mistake and you can forgive.. The second time is a way of life.. MOVE ON!

I know it will hurt but the old saying "times heals" really is ture.. Do you want to go through life wondering if he is honest? NO.. one one does..

I'm talking to the girl he texted, texting her and whatnot..she said she would let me know what was up, whether he got her number in a friendly way or if hes screwin around, last I heard she said she would talk to him but not be obvious then text me, but..i haven't heard from her so...we'll see...and I have the exact same thoughts as you..thats why its so hard for me..i KNOW that if he's making a pattern of doing this...good lord..marriage life with him would be terrible..i hate that constant worry, I can't deal with it and eventually its gonna screw up the relationship, i'm just confused about things right now, hoping the girl will text me and say nothing is going on..

Stop calling these girls, stop texting these girls, and stop seeing this guy! Doing anything else is just opening yourself up for more hurt. Marraige with this guy? You don't want it. Even if you do resolve this situation, hun this is going to be in your head forever! And obviously things weren't perfect besides just this because you felt the need to poke around in his phone anyways.

A relationship where your just waiting to catch him in another lie isn't a relationship. I know it will be tough to leave him because he's your first, but not very many women get to do the whole "he was my first and last" thing anyways. And making it work-- never works. Move on, and find a guy you can trust and love. Good luck.

What advice would you give your best friend if she approached you and told you this story? I think you know the answer, so stand up and be the strong woman you are.......don't settle for garbage. Never, EVER, stay with someone that makes you an option rather than a priority. You're so much better than this, move on and find what you truly deserve. A better man is out there waiting for you.

he was crying because he got caught.

also, if you two were dating exclusively, i think that means you two were in a relationship. So this 'having no title' thing, is not right.

honey, you're in college...so many other boys!

now, if only giving advice to other people were as easy as taking it yourself! haha!
