writes:Could some one advise me what to do please? I have found my boyfriend to be registering on different date sites. This is the fourth time I found out about it now. He says its just for a laugh and unregisters from them, but then secretly registers on one again. Is he to be believed because all I can think is that if it was just for a laugh, then why is he risking breaking down our relationship? Reply to this Question

its up to you whether you put up with more of it now. you shouldnt even need to be here asking.

 He's on the hunt, OP. He's not doing this for laughs.
Even if he were, as Honeypie points out, what sort of person goes to the trouble of creating an account just so he can laugh at others?
Definitely not a joke.

You are worth far more than this.

 You ask: "Is he to be believed (?)" NO.

I knew an online romeo once. Lie after lie, but he kept on doing it. I eventually dumped him because of it.
Whenever I went out and I met and talked to new guys I subtly asked them if they had ever tried online dating sites, because I never wanted to think about or compete with a dating site again, honestly, Im telling you.
Get rid of the clown. If he was that much of a good catch, he wouldnt have to use dating sites to cheat on you. Yes I said cheat on you.

It went on for years and never changed.
He is behaving like he is single, so give him his wish.

There is nothing funny about this. Dump him. Dont listen to anything he`s has to say. I have had experience of a dating site addict. Nothing ever changes.

 Join a dating site yourself. See if he finds that a "laugh" or not.

 I he looking for greener grass, keeping his options open - NOT looking for laughs.
Even if it was only for shits and grins, how callous is he to sign up so he can make fun of women looking for a good man? What a douche-canoe move!
Sorry I'd let him sign up for as many dating sites as he wants, because.. he would be single in a heartbeat.
And he keeps signing up because YOU haven't walked away yet, so what would be lose by signing up? Nothing... Maybe he'd lose a quiet night over it, but nothing else.
And he OBVIOUSLY don't really care how you feel about it.

 For a laugh? Who's laughing?
It's time to dump his sorry ass. Why do you keep putting up with his lies? He's not doing it "for a laugh" - he's doing it because he's trying to cheat.
Break up with him. Show him that it's not okay nor acceptable. The way to do that is by not putting up with it like you've been doing. Put your foot down.

 Four times you are aware of.
The reason he is risking your relationship is because you have not acted the previous four times so he is pretty sure you wont act the fifth, sixth or seventh time either.
He knows it hurts you but does it anyway. He doesn't care, and there is your answer.
Either leave him or put up with it, those are your choices.

 Why? Because he can. Obviously if it's happened at least 4 times and you're still together, he's no longer worried about the relationship breaking down as he can get away with it. The only one who's laughing here is him, at you. He doesn't respect you.
I can guarantee you it's not just for a laugh. He's out there looking for other women. I don't want to be hurtful, but by looking for ways to fix things and change his behaviour you're just burying your head in the sand. He's not going to change. He thinks it's fine. Funny, even.
If you were to give him an ultimatum, would you be able to stick to it? If you adopted a zero tolerance policy and you found his profile on another dating website, would you leave him immediately? If not, then you just have to accept that this will happen, over and over, and that you will lose a little bit of your confidence and self-respect every time it does.

 I think you need to stop being so guiliable. If he is registering on dating sites its to chat to/meet other people. When he says "its just a laugh" maybe his idea od a great joke is to cheat?
