writes:Me and my boyfriend have a long distance relationship. I see him once a week (maybe) and we've been dating for two years. I feel silly saying this, but I feel like he's lying to me about a girl he follows on facebook. He insists he doesn't know her, but I'm pretty sure she was at a wedding he was at. Anyways, today he liked a photo of her on instagram and facebook. I asked him who she was and she said "he doesn't know her personally" and that "he accidentally liked it" I then informed him he liked the same photo on instagram and he got mad and stopped talking.I would normally not care but I know he has cheated on girls before. Though I'm not saying he's cheating, I just want to know why he would tell me a lie. Sorry to post about such petty social media activity, but it bothers me he lied. I want to know if I should bring it up to him or let it go at the risk of sounding accusatory of him cheating..

 I know this feeling all too well.. don't ignore it, but don't go crazy about it. My boyfriend in fact did that same to me and latter admitted to knowing the girl. Just be prepared for what you will find out weather it be good or bad if you continue to wonder these questions.

 Social media is a terrible thing, and it encourages all sorts of behaviour which in turn creates anxiety.
You obviously don't trust this boy, for whatever reason, and your gut feeling is that he is up to no good.
The majority of teenage boys are not really emotionally mature, and in reality are not ready to be in any kind of "relationship", long distance or not. The fact he is still only 15, and already has a reputation for being a cheater, really does suggest that he just is not ready to be in a relationship and is just "playing" at it.
If you are 15 (even more so if you are younger)then you have plenty of time to be in relationships.
In reality, very very few teenage relationships last beyond school, as people grow up, change and want different things in life. At the moment (whether you want to hear it or not) you are still a child, and have not yet discovered who you are as an adult.
Relationships should make you feel happy and safe, not paranoid and anxious. I think it is time to move on.
