Jmtmj agony auntIt's not a crime to have opposite sex friends and no wonder he didn't own up to talking to her given the way you're reacting.

You know nothing for sure, don't delude yourself into thinking that two wrongs make a right.

she said hes been texting her and flirting. So i ask him if hes talked to anyone in the last month from this particular state and he says idk give me a specific date. NO GIVE ME A name!! He wont. So does that possibly mean theres toooooo many names he doesnt wanna say the wrong one???? Hes up to something and i know it for sure

Jmtmj agony auntYou know what happens when you go looking for trouble?

You find it... even when there is none.

Your snooping is a worse violation of trust than anything you have evidence of him doing. I wouldn't bring it up unless you KNOW he's guilty of worse than your snooping.

the reason i snooped in the first place is because he was being distant and acting just shady. Hes always acted shady but like i know hiim enough to know if somethings up...his phone was hiding on the top shelf in the living room when i found it.

CJH agony auntThe very fact you had to snoop in the first place rings alarm bells with me. You clearly dont trust the guy do you?

By the sounds of things you have every reason to mistrust him too!

He`s lied outright about texting and chatting to this girl, doesnt that make you want to just save yourself being told yet more lies? If I were in your shoes, I`d be walking away at this precise moment but I accept that you love him and that may not seem like a good option right now.

Just don`t lie to yourself. We could discount this other girls opinion of dear sweet Bob as perhaps bitterness or just hearsay but the fact he isnt being honest with you does seem to back up at least SOME of what shes saying.

If you want to see the REAL Bob, tell him what youve done, tell him about the conversations youve had and watch as the blood drains from his face as he desperately tries to conjure up excuses and yet more lies.

I`m sorry, by the sounds of things, you want to continue in your relationship whilst the only advice I can give you is to escape.

I`m sure you`ll soldier on with him a while longer but you will come to your senses at some point and, when you do, come back and re-read this answer. You`ll think to yourself "ahh yes he was right!"

Good luck. Remember, its your happiness that counts here, I very much doubt, knowing what you now know, that the remainder of your relationship with Bob will bring much of that (happiness)

Good luck.

Snooping is bad and now you've got yourself in a proper pickle about it all. What can you do? Stop snooping. Don't mention it to Bob (the ex-married player - but you knew that ...) He's obviously not having an affaire with this girl, so leave her out of it.

Why did you sneak a peek at his phone in the first place? Just being nosey, or were you already suspicious about this guy?

If you can't trust him, be fair to both of you, and end the relationship.
