I don't keep secrets from him so I expect the same in return, so why is he continuing to lie to me?

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

I have been dating this man for about 4 years. Two years ago I ran across a few emails between him and his ex girlfriend. If I hadn't seen these I would have never known. I told him how this made me feel and he seemed a little angry with me for looking through his email. He told me he wouldn't email her again. Last night I checked his email and there was one from her again. He doesn't know that I read this. Should I let him know that I did see the email from her? Why wouldn't he tell me he had an email from her? I don't keep ANY secrets from him so I expect the same in return.

shygrl86 agony auntI think you let him know that if he is going to continue to keep things from you then you are going to go your own way.

Up front and honest is my policy. Honesty is the most important part of a relationship.

To top that off he lied to you by telling you he would not contact her anymore. He needs to follow through with that and ask her not to contact him as well so he won't feel tempted.

But don't stand by and let that happen, It is not okay.

i know my husband would be furious if I looked through his e-mail. your boyfriend told you he will not contact his ex, how do you know he did? There was e-mail from her.

You keep no secrets from him, this is your choice, of -course it would be nice if he did the same, but he chooses not tell everything about himself. DIFFERENT PERSONALITIES.
