How can I prove to my boyfriend that I’m not being unfaithful?
… and that I’ve never been!
Background info: he’s been cheated on before. Those weren’s relationships as serious as ours, but still. He told me from the beginning he was jealous. I’m jealous too, so I didn’t think it’d be such a big deal. Ok, see, the guy who introduced is sort of an ex of mine… we never dater or were in a romantic relationship, we were very good friends, and for some time, there were benefits (this was waaay before he introduced me to my boyfriend). And I never had a proper boyfriend… my “experience” was making out with guys at pubs. I only made out with two guys when I went to pubs. This is something I never wanted to tell my boyfriend, because I knew it was unnecessary…
Ok, so one day he asked me about my ex friend. And I lied, I said nothing had ever happened. But he didn’t buy it so I came clean at the spot. That was enough to break the trust. He got so so so jealous, so angry, so everything! Just like I predicted he would, or even worse. I lied about a couple more things, but I came clean. Still, eh thinks I’m a cheater because of my “promiscuous” past and because I’ve lied. But i’d never cheat on anyone, especially him (if I wanted to be with someone else I’d dump him first… I’m not that stupid, I know you don’t cheat, especially on jealous people or people who’ve been cheated on… why hurt them like that?).
Now, I do as much as possible to avoid any triggers. I cut contact with guys that made him jealous. I try to hang out only with girls, I never party alone, etc. But the problem is, I have to classmates. One is a girl, and one is a guy. They’re each other’s best friends. This year we started hanging out more, and working on projects together. I only hang out with them at the university.
The problem is, the guy sometimes calls me, to ask about projects or tests. He has called me when i’m hanging out with my boyfriend. And this made my boyfriend suspicious. He thinks I’m having an affair with my classmate, because according to my boyfriend he calls me “way too much”. He’s called me lie 2 or 3times when I’ve been with my boyfriend. But my boyfriend thinks he calls me more often, when I’m alone. He doesn’t, or if he does, it’s about college stuff. He lives in a nearby town that is like an hour from here. He doesn’t know my boyfriend.
I even let my boyfriend go through my cell phone if he asks. But he thinks I’ve been deleting the “evidence”. I don’t know what to do. When he gets jealous all I can do is deny, deny, deny. Because I haven’t had anything with my classmate! But my boyfriend doesn’t believe me and I need to prove it to him. I try not to freak out when he starts asking or gets mad, but it’s annoying, I’m tired of it already, so sometimes my patience blows and I just freak out.
He also gets jealous of ex classmates or other friends from the past because he believes there are things I’m still hiding, he believes I’ve been with more guys than it’s actually true. I haven’t. He already knows about every guy I’ve been with. Oh, well…
