writes: I need to know what you think, my boyfriend and I have been together for almost 3 years. Even though I've never caught him, I suspect he's cheating, I have checked his cell phone bills I never seem to find anything out of the ordinary. THe thing is, it's kinda hard. He works in construction so I can't keep track. I catch him in lies, for example he tells me he's still on the freeway and still needs to drop his co-worker off when he is already in town. This has been more than once. Not all the times that he has lied I've caught him, but a couple times, I've checked it out and he is where he says he is, so it's unclear to me if he's really with his friends - why does he lie??? Just a few days ago, this text message came through on his phone, him not knowing I replied back, thinking it was him the girl kept texting back, adding "what's going on for tomorrow" I replied (pretending to be him) - "going out w/girlfriend, care to join us?" She replied back, "preferably without the girlfriend"...well after that it gave me that funny itch to keep on texting back....I kinda kept going along with her texting, "well, see if I can get away." and she text back"well, let me know if you can get away and will meet at the bowling alley" The thing is, he denies seeing her. I says she was an old friend, and he hasn't seen her since before me and him met.... she told me that he and her had sex before me, but whywas it so easy for her to be willing to meet him??? She told me that him and her ran into eachother at the bowling alley, the only time I have known of my boyfriend going toi the bowling alley was with me??? this was a couple months ago, but I know that he has been in contact with her since last year. He had told me he ran into an old friend when he originally got her number and she sent him a friendly text so I didn't think nothing of it. But now, it's clear to me what her motives are... and his too for that matter! I dont know what I shoud do? Is that grounds for cheating since I was the one pretending to be him, it was his cell phone, she was the one that said first "preferably without your girlfriend" but why if just friends, would she say that. For that matter, why if they haven't seen eachother for so long did she wanna meet up to jump his bones??? I don't buy it...and there is just something there...I'm not sure what. He accuses me of just being jealous and he says he would never cheat on me...i dont beleive it! What can I do to find out more and what do you think about that whole situation??? Is your opinion he's cheating or not????

Hey you can't torment yourself, it;'s not healthy, if you feel you can't trust him, it's going to be hard to have a good relationship, and keep building on what you have. Remember there's always two sides to the story, it sounds to me like she was the one hitting on him. But you found out alot, the funny feeling in your gut says alot, but it could be that you knew they were talking, and it didn't start bothering you til later, and you found out she wanted more. them having a past makes it alittle worst. Keep your eyes open, think with your brain and not just your heart. Keep your head up, and do what's best for you. Sorry your going through this.

Well it is hard to tell. It was a good idea for you to pretend to be him when texting her, but you are no closer to knowing the truth. It could be completely innocent as you say she sent that first text saying "preferably without the girlfriend", he may of just played along with it, but then again he could have been serious. You need to keep an eye on things as at the moment there is no concrete evidence that he has cheated. I would see how things go, monitor his phone and just be alert.I will say though if he is lying to you there is a reason for that and your suspicions could well be proven. Take care.

You can Google your question, "How do you know if your man is cheating?'There are a lot of the tips online and if he is cheating , he will leave tell tale signs.I think he is meeting up with her because the recent text proved it. He lied about his whereabouts to cover his tracks . Otherwise he has no reason to lie about his whereabouts.I would get suspicious too when you add them together.You need more concrete proof of his cheating. Observe his daily patterns and then do some detective work .

If you do feel very strongly about this and your instincts are telling you something could happen then you have to do what you feel is the best for you hunny, From the text it sounded as if she was teasing him to meet her on his own so her reasons are not good, But that doesnt mean his are not.Is he likely to go and meet up out of pure curiosity thats another thing as she could make his mind work overtime and mistakes could be made, Mistakes that he could later regret, You cant keep an eye on him 24/7 Ive been there and I didnt want to as in my heart I new the girl who was texting my husband would get his attention for a small amount of time and he may stray but thats the choice he was going to make not the choice I was so I left it and waited untill I noticed a change in his behaviour and I did, He wouldnt admit it but I live on a very small island so people talk and I new if I told him to leave within an hour I would no the truth and so I did.So that was marriage num 3 out of the window, But they were not my choices and he regreted it. You could hire someone I no of people who have as to put your mind at rest, The way I look at it is if the trust has gone then its time to either sit and talk it through and if that doesnt work move on. Hunny I hope this all is not bad for you and you do get this sorted just remember to always have faith in yourself as a strong person and you will come through with your head held high TAKE CARE OF YOU WITH LOTS OF LOVE AND PRAYERS MANDY XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

CherryChick28 is verified as being by the original poster of the questionThat makes sense, I know that I can't live like this. You are right, it's killing our relationship. I feel like I'm always living in fear that he's going to do it, or that he did and I have to find out. I was cheated on before with my X and the thing that gets me was he showed no signs of a cheater. Not till the end but now that confuses me. I try and not compare because they are two different people and my boyfriend, I know he loves me but there's issues, with sex, and reasons why I started getting these feelings of distrust. Thanks for your advice.

You can hire a PI or you ask a friend or you become a PI... Follow him from a distance and see where he goes and who he meets.But make sure , you are not caught by him for spying on him.You cannot live on suspicions all your life or it will gonna kill your relationship or kill youOnce you made up your mind, you should learn to trust him.

CherryChick,Lets look at the facts.1) You know he already lies about miniscule things2) The texts from this other girl3) "Preferably without the girlfriend"4) They had sex before you two were an item5) They are still in contactI would have done the exact same thing in your situation by pretending to be him. You came to this forum for a reason. I must be blunt.What you have here is a cheater.The one thing in the world I cannot stand is dishonesty, and all cheaters are dishonest, self serving jerks. The answer is clear....RUN FROM THIS AND DO NOT LOOK BACK!

You need to be more clever if you think he is cheating dn't let him think you think that he is. This way if he is cheating you will catch him out. My opinion is his thinking about cheating.Don't cause arguments let him know how much you care for himand how happy you can make him.This should make him forget about any other girl cause if he loves you and is happy he shouldn't need to go eleswhere!Good luck. xx
