Question - (25 April 2009) 2 Answers - (Newest, 26 April 2009)
A female United States age 51-59, anonymous writes:

My boyfriend and I have been together and passionately in love for 3 and a half years now. It seems as it has been getting more serious and his love became more ardent because of all the love texts and expensive gifts he has lavished on me lately and he has mentioned that he could marry me. Everyday he has assured me that he is so in love with me.

However one morning two minutes after he told me in a text that I was his true love, I received a text that was clearly meant for another girl. The text states that he misses her and wants to ger to send him more pics. I cornered him on this and he got extremely mad. Since then my trust in him has greatly diminished. He has denied sending the text. He denies that he has another girlfriend and denies that he is cheating on me. He has acted extremely worried that I would end the relationship, but some of his patterns have changed and I'm not seeing him as much anymore. But everyday he sends me multiple texts saying that he loves me and is still so so in love with me.

I'm not sure what to think. Can you love someone or be in love with someone and in lust with someone else? What should I do? I am truely in love with him and do care so much for him, but I am afraid of being severely hurt.

Thanks Gina. I have recently spotted another cell phone which he is carrying to work...we work at the same place. I asked what it was and he said 'a new toy'. I said thats a cell phone can I see it. He said 'no, it's broke and I'm trying to fix it'...duh. He gets mad and shuts up like a clam whenever I want to discuss this. He said he's tired of being prosecuted and accused and called a liar. But still tells me he is in love with me. I don't understand this. How can that be? Should I end this relationship? If so how is the best way?

This reminds me of my partner. At the time she was divorced and occasionally had a 'boyfriend' come to stay the night. I was fairly new on the scene and she had both of us on the go at the same time. I was aware of it but he was not.

She is useless at using a mobile phone and never has got the hang of sending text messages. I tried to show her how it was done. She managed to write out a text that said "Shirley Valentine here - you want to make fuck?" she meant to send it to me but sent it to him instead as he was the first number in her address book, his name being Anthony. He texted her back asking "Are you pissed?". We still laugh about it.
