He never lets me touch his cell or ipod touch, he wont add me as a friend on his facebook cuz he says he thinks ill start stuff on his page with other girls, he has this one girl who he always calls,texts,emails and any other possible way of contacting her he does it. ive caught her coming out of his dorm room just like a month ago at his job to pick him up and he denys doin anything with her but yet she insists theres a relationship between them.

I just had a boyfriend only recently, and he showed so much affection for me. But soon he started talking about other girls and helping them so much and then finally, he told me to avoid him at all times. I told him I'd avoid him, so now I don't know what he's up to anymore, while still telling me he wouldn't love them instead. He's always talking about how much he talks to girls, and never mentioned once that he liked me ever since the day we got together. I am going to dump him for good. And if anyone has the same situtation as I do, just dump your boyfriend. It isn't worth it.

I am going through this exact same thing at the moment but I know he has joined dating sites even though he denies he has met with anyone. Also I've read texts in his mobile phone where messages from his so called female friends and he has suddenly had to start going away with work more. I offer the chance to end it and he refuses. I have the signs I've just not accepted it cause I can't, I'm in the process of just making sure by a mobile phone I can leave it has and log into, so I can hear his conversations, once I actually heard it, I think I'll accept it but if you have signs like this in your heart you'll know.

You will never know unless you catch him in the act!!But instead of worrying, learn to live with it because all men will cheat if they get the chance. There is no point worrying your head over it, life is too short! Everything thats in the dark will come to the light. And when you find out, it will be his loss, because he will never find any1 like you and he will regret it forever. Trust me i've been there!! What hurts you only makes you a stronger person, whereas it makes them weak!!

My Boyfriend just recently cheated on me. i found out today actually. but i had seen it coming, because of the signs i saw:

1) He talked about how much he wanted to hang out with these two other girls, right in front of me.

2) He left in the middle of my volleyball game to go hang out with the two same girls. (to go out and stand in the rain)

3) he was being a jerk, and kept bringing up cheating. saying that everyone said he was cheating when he wasn't and he got very mad.

4) i told him i didn't accept cheaters or date them and he told me i didn't have to wory about it, but laughed afterward.

5) this is probably the TOP...he had cheated on me once before.

girls all i have to say is from my experience...once a cheater...always a cheater. i learned the hard way. don't make the same mistakes i did. don't let him say the nice sweet words, because it'll work and you will be putty in his hands. don't fall for it, be strong.

ps. when i found out i slapped him across the face. he so had a red hand print on his face now.

Wendyg agony auntSorry must have mis understood, I thought he was already cheating on you and you were trying to catch him out ? Not setting him up as though to cheat?

Dangerous I would say, most men out of curiosity would want to know who it is thats suddenly texting them and may keep it going just to see who indeed is playing a prank on them. Not that often that a guy would get a text out of the blue of that nature.

Bit like a honey trap doing this, and is none to savory. Thing is if you have these doubts before doing all the games, then you clearly dont trust him anyway and probably shouldnt be with him. Just say he doesnt go for it this time, what then, will you continue to play the games until one day he does ? You could be setting yourself up for a relationship based on you trying to trick him. If hes not cheating right now, what makes you actually think that he will ? Trust is huge in a relationship and its not there in your relationship hun.

Toria agony auntThe truth does come out in the end and if he isn't doing anything then testing him and trying to catch him out maybe what causes you to lose him over your lack of trust in him.

Yos agony auntThose are the classic signs. The shower especially, he doesn't want give you a chance to smell him (and her) before he can wash the smell off.

Perhaps try just straight out saying that you know he is being unfaithful. Stick to your guns and see if he cracks. If you can convince him that you do have evidence that you are sure of, then he might just come clean.

Ivanna22 agony auntOh my god! Wendyg just mention A LOT of signs he's giving. He's out longer then usual, his phone is ALWAYS on silent when he's around me, and takes more showers. If i'm at his house waiting for him to get back from college or his friend's house, when he gets back home he'll RUN to the bathroom, he'd barely say hello and just run to the bathroom to take a shower which is weird because he always takes a shower right before he goes to college, and what does he need to take another shower for??? It's not even hot out!!! He doesn't live at college this year but always goes there til' 1:30 in the morning. He says he was working at the library on a project til' this late, but everytime I call him he doesn't pick up, and he always has an excuse, like I didn't know it was ringing, or I left it in the car. I always know what excuse he's gonna give me for not answering his phone, he's just soo predictable. I always think: Oh he's probabbly gonna give me some stupid excuse like I didn't know it was ringing, and then he actulally does. What I don't understand is that he says he has his phone on vibrate when he's not with me, and he has it on silent when he is with me because he doesn't care about anyone else when he's with me. Then how can he not know i'm calling if he always has his phone on vibrate when he's not with me???

David Lewis agony auntLook at his eyes when you ask him. They show you everything you need to know. See if he can maintain eye contact, listen to his voice, watch his body language.

I can pretty much read a persons thoughts by analysing body language and looking into their eyes. My fiancee hates it because she can't hide anything from me.

A private detective is a good option, although can be expensive. Just be prepared for the findings. I got photos of my fiancee having sex with another guy twice her age.

Fear is one thing, confirmation is another. Be careful what you ask for, you just might get it!

Toria agony auntI have always found that a reaction to something you say is more honest than an answer to a question you could ask.

I would act on your suspicions, if you feel he is follow your gut instint and challenge him about it all the time watching his reaction and body language.

Theres not alot else you can do unless you check up on him constantly and try to catch him out.

If he isn't cheating though this way round could be the relationship breaking as to you not trusting him.

Good luck :o)

Wendyg agony auntFollow him ? There isnt a sure fire way, but if you have a gut instinct about it, then its only a matter of time before he will foul up. There must be some reason you think that he is cheating ? How he behaves, what hes been up to etc.. Far short of coming out and asking him, you say he wouldnt admit it, what man would! then you either have to go snooping, which is also a relationship breaker, or indeed just ask outright. There are no common signs, but is out longer than usual, is he uncontactable for periods of time, is his phone on silent around you, does he shower more often, make more of an effort with his appearance, does he suddenly want less sex at home, or more than usual ? now all those things can be pretty normal but if its exaggerated in anyway it could be an indication that hes cheating but not a guarantee.. Be sure you think he is cheating before snooping or following him etc, as if he isnt you will be the bad guy!

Good luck and I hope things work out for you!

Yos agony auntOther than hiring a private investigator (or becoming one yourself) there is no guaranteed way.

The simplest way is to ask him directly and look him straight in the eyes when you do. You will know in your heart if he is telling the truth. It sounds like you might know already. Trust your instincts, they are very powerful and in this situation usually reliable.
