Jolin agony auntthere are thousands women outside looking for the kind of man like your fiance.. still remember to call his gf on the weekend.

why cant u be so grateful for this luck?

Cut your sneaking out action with your ex. What goes around, comes around.

Trust me. I have met many women so-not appreciative to their relationship, and then they end it with everlasting regret and tears after losing their men.

Love is wonderful, but all relationships require trust to survive the tough times. You are being dishonest to your fiance and he doesn't deserve that. If the lies start before the marriage ever begins, where is that going to leave either of you. Think long and hard about what you have done. Be honest with your fiance. Then be honest with yourself about why you said yes when he asked you to marry him.

Honeypie agony auntYour phone was off because you KNEW that if your fiancee called he would figure out in 5 seconds flat that you were "hanging" out with your ex. It was EASIER or CONVINIENT for YOU to have the phone off, rather then being honest and DEAL with the facts.

It's called guilt..

FACTS are, you need to be honest. That means telling the truth. If you can not do that you really need to let your fiancee go. He deserve better.

If he did this to u, would you want him to ask us how to cover his ass?

Tell him what happened and your sorry and it was a mistake (assuming it was?) and you don't wana lose him.

But don't expect an ok with a hug then its back to normal. Either way he deserves to know..wouldn't u wana know if he did this to you?

SweetStu agony auntWhy were you spending time with an ex boyfriend? Is the golden question. With or without your phone off at the time.

If I were in his shoes and my partner couldn't talk to me and chose to spend time with an 'ex', it would break my heart. And you could do this to his. But then to protect his heart you will have to lie. Tell the truth or you'll hurt yourself and others around you. The longer it goes on the more painful it will be - and these things always come out in the end.

I don't know the full ins and outs, but you need to speak to him immediately and be honest. Tell him why you didn't feel like speaking to him, if there's anything on your mind tell him that. But your actions alone, regardless of their intention are very difficult to oversee without a large amount of blind trust and belief on his part.

If you lie you may not lose him now, but you will do. Trust is paramount in any relationship.

I wish you both well.

if the situation were reversed and it was he who put his phone off to hang with an ex gf would you fall for that crap? You caused this and made a delibrate choice to emotionaly cheat, so woman up and deal with the consiquences and let him decide whether or not to stick around.

good luck

You should not be sneaking around behind his back in the first place!

I think explaining that you were with 'an old mate' could ease his mind.

A reader, anonymous, writes (11 August 2009):

A lot depends on why your phone was off. If you were innocently passing the time of day with your ex, and nothing untoward happened, then tell your fiance the truth. He'll still be mighty suspicious though, I don't doubt. Why was it switched off? Only YOU can answer that one.

If, as sounds probable, you were cheating on him, this isn't the place to canvass advice on how to cover your tracks. Google 'how to cheat on your man', or visit 'Our Cheating Ways', which seem to be very popular sites with people who behave that way, and have an eye-poppingly inventive, but morally very dubious, litany of do's and don't's.

And try not to discard your conscience. If you're actually planning to marry your fiance, and the lies are starting already before you've even said 'I do', you'd do well not to condemn the poor guy to a life like that.
