writes:Dear CupidMy bf broke up with me a month back and then we got back together. Since we work together he gave me his password yesterday to do some of his work. I know i am not supposed to check his IM conv history but out of curiosty i did and i found out as soon as he broke up with me he started hitting a collegue of us. He was texting her 10 times a day (never replied to even one of my text when we were dating) and from his conv with her i found out that she was not interested in him and after that he came crawling back to me.I kind of asked him today whether he was trying to date anyone after he broke up with me and he said he never did that.I feel like i am being cheated, i cant confront him since i read his msgs. Please help me to resolve this issue.

You mustnt let him treat you as second best. It will happen again when he sees another girl he likes the look of. Dont set yourself up for the pain of it, show him the door now before its too late and you are being hurt again.

Meaning that it was planned, and he knew this girl while he was dating you. It didn't work out with her, and he went back to you. (Hard to say without know the details of the break up, and what he said when he came back).
I agree with the other people that he it seems that he is treating you as second to the other girl. Are you okay with this? How much do you care for him?
I wouldn't tell him that you looked at his chat history, and I wouldn't push him to answer whether he was with someone else, etc, while you weren't together. At least for not for now. The thing with that is, yes, you shouldn't have snooped (well there are exceptions), but right now you need to know things from him, and what I've seen is that if a person has done something wrong, and they find out they've been discovered through snooping, they will latch onto that and turn the tables on you. I'm not saying he doesn't have a right to get angry, but I think you first want to find out answers without this extra issue.
So leave that alone for now. But instead of asking if he was in any relationships during the break, I would ask him why he broke up with you, and what made him come back. Tell him it's important that you know this and that you can't just accept him back without knowing (even though you've alraedy taken him back). Just let him know that you've been thinking about the relationship, and thinking about how he dumped you and came back, and that he can't just treat you as some default because that's how you feel. This is your reason why you want to know (without going into the other girl he seems to have been pursuing).
Good luck!
See what he says and then assess it again from there...

If you had broken up with him then maybe it might be different - as why not pursue someone if you have been dumped. To get back with you after things did not shape up with this girls looks bad. He does owe you an explanation. Who wants to be someone's back up plan? So have it out with him.

Move one, tell him what you know, and let him know that you need someone who isn't taking you for granted and knows what they want and "what they want is me".

hey yea i think you should leave him. He's lieing to you and if he lies now he's gonna lie from now on and the fact that you accept it, it's just gonna make it easier for him to cheat and keep on doing whatever it is he does because he's gonna get suspicious since you asked him that quesstion that obviously you know something and then to him you accepted it and that just to him gives him the slightest thought that "Oh yea she accepted this what else will she accept" Anyways at the end of the day you need to do what makes you feel right and happy because at the end of the day no one is gonna care about what you feel and everyone just thinks of themselves so just worry first about what you feel cuz you can't do anything about that. You can let it go and be the second best or you can leave and wait for someoen who really cares about you and be the number one

Some people are better off not being in your life.
