cheater

Hi, I am with my partner for over 8 years. We met on dating site. For past 3 years we were busy me with my studies him with his work. I moved to another town and was back home for weekends. He was traveling a lot for his work. He gradually became very hostile towards me, sometimes aggressive and very annoyed by anything. He made me cry a lot coz I did not understood why he is like that. He spent a lot of time on his HTC and laptop. He changed his passwords. He was very protective of his mobile and laptop. Once he fell asleep. I looked at his mobile and I saw he open new email account which contained 100 Russian females addresses and lots of posts dating 2 years. From emails I found out that he dated at least 1 of these girls. I confronted him. At first he denied it but I pushed him and he admitted it. I am heart broken. Learning how to trust him again. It's so fresh. It keeps coming back to me every single day. I might not to have power to keep the relationship going. Time will tell. Kate

I found nude pictures of a female on his phone. He says its a friend. They both call each other. She's 20 years younger than him and lives in the neighborhood. He says she is a b and still talks to her. But want me to think he is not cheating.

he lied

..He cheated, we had been together for three yrs. and his prom was comin up.. him and I picked out colors and I bought my dress. a few weeks go by and then he asked me if he can take somebody else (a girl who had liked him for a very long time). i said that if he wanted to take her we had to break up. we argued about it but a few weeks later they had sex and there went three years down the drain...... PS: i forgot,to mention that I found out he cheated with her three other,times before that...

he cheated

I found out my boyfriend was cheating when I caught him kissing another girl behind a dumpster. I had known that our relationship was going through a tough time as I was about to change schools but I never thought that he would cheat. After finding them, I told him it was over right then and there and that he was a bad person for doing this. He begged me not to go but I didn't listen. In the end, he got what he deserved, a nice slap across the face.
