He recently intercepted an email from a friend that implied that I was emailing/texting/talking on the phone to another man that I recently met while away. we recently broke up because of this, he knows that I am a flirty woman, it is my nature to be like that. He thinks that me doing the chathost thing is a big problem mentally I have, that I like that men watch me and talk to me naughty. I have told him many times if he commited to me more I would stop this, he says that this is an addiction, I do not think that, I do this to make money, its pretty good. I want him back in my life I love him so much but he thinks he can not trust me, I have cheated on him he thinks.Please give me your advice on this.MSxtra

Have you been doing this chat host thing (which I'll admit I'm not completely sure what you're talking about) for the same 6 years you were dating this guy? If so, then this is nothing new to him and should know (by now) that this is simply a job. Also, even if he has not been around over that time, it does imply that he's been around long enough to recognize this as your source of income (or at least a supplement to it).
The trust (or rather, his thinking that it's a trust issue) is in his lap. I would turn this around and ask what would he do/give/something to regain/reinforce his trust? And in my opinion, it shouldn't be a one-sided deal here. If he's willing to meet in the middle someplace, you could make some concessions as well... maybe less hours and a more traditional job? ...but that's for you to decide.
