nelle2472002 is verified as being by the original poster of the questionTo the anonymous writer, no he did not openly tell me this. He got caught texting her all hours of the night while i'm sleep, then again through email once they seen they got caught that way. To You Wish, Yes I do understand what you are saying. I think he should leave the job as well. Everytime he is there I suspect or think negative things because its happened when i thought everything was all fine and well. He gets certain perks about working there even part time and don't want to lose those perks like discounts on the stuff he loves to do half of the day. I just can't trust him and i tried but it always plays back in my mind. but, thank you for your advice it is greatly appreciated.

The simple answer is that you can't trust him, and you shouldn't trust him. He cheated and shattered your trust. You didn't have to forgive him, but you did. However, forgiveness doesn't equal a restoration in the trust that was lost. That takes time.
If he had been working a full time job with her, it would be a little dicier in terms of getting a new job, but you say that he's only working part time on Saturdays? Sorry, but unless he's making $100 or working for the CIA, those jobs are a dime a dozen.
He needs to get away from her and never be where she is. You can't believe his claims. Believe his actions. If he's serious about rebuilding trust and making things work with you, he will leave that job and find a new one. No 6 hour Saturday job is worth a relationship if it puts him in contact with the girl.

That would be evidence of a man willing to change. One that was caught cheating or called out on it and then admitted is a man on good behavior...a man who will say anything to not deal with the consequences. Men like this are far from changing.
