You need to leave him far far behind. He is playing you, I don't know the nature of your relationship, he may honestly love you. But even if he does, he is still playing with you. If he is texting other girls and deleting the messages that are exchanged with them, then he is obviously hiding something that he doesn't want you to see.
He is being completely disrespectful. Insecure? You have every reason to be hurt, upset, insecure and whatever else you're feeling. It isn't okay that he is doing this. Would he be alright with you texting four other dudes and deleting the messages?
Confront him, say this makes you uncomfortable, feel disrespected and unloved and if he doesn't make some drastic changes, then dump him and find someone better. Someone who will treat you with some respect.

If you are ok dating a cheater and having no trust in your relationship, I think you should stay.

Bottom lline he's playing you for a fool; he knows you're too blinded by your love to see it and his actions are unacceptable! he has no right to throw any kind of strop because he's a manipulative sly cheat, I'm sorry regardless of how much you love him, or think you do, you're better off without this creep, really! Anyone deserves better xx

You say you have the right to be insecure, but at the same time you have taken him back after he has cheated more than once. You know this guy is shady and can't be trusted, so why continue a relationship with him? What you have basically signalled to him by taking him back after just two weeks (no one changes in two weeks) is that it is OK to cheat. You'll be pissed off for a while but ultimately he'll win you over because you are weak for him.He is sneaky, he's a liar and he's a cheat. You say he is a good boyfriend in other ways but those are three pretty bad characteristics. You have to weigh the good against the bad here. I understand that you love him but I think that if you were to take a step back and try to look at the situation a bit more objectively you would see that the bad outweighed the good. I know what it's like to be with someone who makes you feel insecure. It's horrible not being able to trust someone you love. Your boyfriend should love you and cherish you and make you feel secure and happy. This guy cheats on you and makes you feel unhappy. He's not going to change, so you have to change and walk away from him.

Trust is everything in a relationship, if you don't have trust you can't have a good relationship. I've had the same problems in the past and the relationship didn't work and turns out it was just my mind thinking the worst. I would talk to him and tell him how you feel and if things don't change I would just give up and move on.
