Love help: The other day it came to my attention that my boyfriend was using - Help.com

The other day it came to my attention that my boyfriend was using a dating site…

I know he had them before he got with me a while ago and I understood that he still had them out there and didn’t remember the passwords so he couldn’t sign on to delete them. Well when I was shown this site it told me that the last day of log in was 4 days ago. That blew my mind. He’s a truck driver and he’s on a team so I know there truck never stops anywhere but the place they deliver to and home. So I know when he can and can’t be online. 4 days ago was the first time in the week he could have been online. I then decided to instead of fighting while he’s on the road that I would write him a letter and let him read it when he got home. Print out the pictures that I took of the website and show him. Well I told him I was writing a letter and he asked me about it and after about a half hour of him trying to find out what’s in the letter I finally just confront him about it. He then goes on saying that it must have been linked and when he clicked on it in his email it logged him in. Ok so maybe I would have bought that if this same thing wouldn’t have happened in August also. So for the last two days we’ve been fighting about it and he doesn’t understand what the big deal is. He thinks well it’s just a website so what… So what… it’s a website you sign onto to find people to one either just fool around with or two date. When your Status still says single and that what you’re looking for says dating, friends or just to hook up … that kind of sends up a red flag in my book, don’t ya think… Last night he tells me, I love you and you know I would never cheat on you, yes that is what I thought but after finding these am I really that sure that you wouldn’t anymore?

I love him and we have our ups and downs just like every other couple. But him thinking this stuff isn’t a problem seems to be a problem with me… Sorry this is so long it feels good to just vent. I don’t really want any of our friends or family to know about the situation so I figured I’d come here for a little advice. You can tell me straight up if you think I’m being ridiculous about the whole thing and I will go and apologize to him about it then but I really don’t think I am with this one.

Have a great day everyone!! And again sorry it’s so long…

He may not be cheating on you yet but the idea he can is obviously in his head…. there is only one reason you use dating sites and that is to find someone to have a fling/relationship with. I met my partner on a dating site and it took me months to convince him i was very unhappy with him refusing to delete his account once we started a relationship…. my account was immediately deleted. He eventually did delete the account but i caught him months later using the same site under a different name…. He reeled off every excuse he could for going back on…. chatting on the forums( he had never posted on any of them), just having a look for a laugh, just catching up with other people he had chatted to when he had been on there the first time, it didn’t mean anything, he loved me….. When i asked how he would feel if i did the same he said it wouldn’t bother him… so i put up a profile…. with his full knowledge…. i didn’t actually speak to anyone but within two days my partner was asking who i was chatting to, what was i chatting about etc…. he didn’t like it one bit. He agreed that he didn’t like the idea of me being able to chat to men at any time… just the thought of it would drive him mad…so i deleted the account assuming my point had been made… two weeks later he was back online again…It’s an awful thing to have to come to terms with but dating sites have made it so easy to cheat… it doesn’t even have to be physically cheating…. there is something wrong with your partner emotionally connecting with another person.

I would personally tell your partner that you won’t stand for it anymore… but i don’t think you can trust him not to use the sites again which means you have to decide if you want to be with a man you can’t trust.

First off never apologize for getting something off your chest. No matter how it takes to vent it, it will always feel better to get it off. even to a stranger. You are not wrong for sending a red flag up about that site and what it says. Any human with half a brain would have sent up a red flag. It really boils down to weather you trust him or not. Don’t apologize for being concerned about the relationship. Ask him to honestly tell you how he feels. about the relationship about you about your future together. there is no point in wasting time with someone you cannot trust cause thats what a relationship is.
Good Luck my friend

youre being taken for a ride girl.
why are you letting him treat you like this? you KNOW its not ok, think about what you would say to a friend in this situation. you most certainly wouldnt want them to be with someone who would treat them with so little respect, im sure.
