writes:We've been together for 3 months and a half. We met online and I found some time ago the profiles he had before we met, and asked him to please take them off, since anyway he was not logging in them (I saw his last log ins and he had stopped) and he did for a while, but it all started again in our 3 mo. anniversary, and just 2 days ago, I found out he had put up NEW profiles, and was writing to other women, and claiming that he was single and looking for a serious relationship.... He denies that he was there to date, he says he was there to make "friends", but to be honest, I didn't believe that and told him so, since then he's been crying and swearing to me that he'll never do that again, that he's changed, and that he knows he did something stupid, that I'm the one he loves... Well, you may guess all the stuff that men say when they're trying to keep you there... And well, I agreed to give him a chance... But, I. JUST. CAN'T. FORGET. , I still feel hurt and don't trust him at all, I think my feelings are getting in the way, and I don't know what else to do, whether to believe him and stay at my own risk, or just leave and try to move on, which I know will be difficult, because, apart from this, he was always great to me, really affectionate and considerate and overall a good boyfriend, I think my decision would've been easier if he was mean in other ways too, but what makes it hard is the fact that outside this whole online thing, he's great to me. I'm torn apart. I think what troubles me also is the fact that he looks very depressed, it makes me angry that he feels so sad about this, when HE caused it! The worse is that commonly I'm a nice person and don't like to make people feel bad, but right now I just want him to suffer the same I've been!

They tell you you mean the world to them and play on your emotions when actually they are very insecure. I doubt you will ever change him. Imagine being married and settled and he starts playing again...he most probably will. You have an instinct. Get angry and let go! Its basically and addiction he has an it is you who will be hurt, not him.

And the worse is that he's EXTREMELY depressed right now, has become very clingy, and just yesterday, I was talking normally with him (trying not to rub things in his face no more) and he burst into tears, I didn't know what to do, because, in my own pain, I'm supposed to have "empathy" for him... I'm still with him because everyone deserves a second chance, but to be honest, I have one foot on the door and I'm not giving him my all anymore... This event TOTALLY changed everything between us, and I think he is actually sorry, and he cries all the time because he knows this, I just wish he didn't do this to us in the 1st place, and I know he wishes that too, but now it's too late to turn back time...I will still keep an eye on him and have my heart distance until enough time has passed... Maybe he'll change, maybe he won't, I'm just gonna put my bet on the table and just hope to win. I want you all to know that yes, I stay at my own risk and that I'm not dumb, he didn't do this for months, I caught him within the 1st 10 days of this going on, so maybe we'll have a chance... But again, it's just a maybe...More feedback and advice is still appreciated :-)

I dont trust him but I have just grown not to care anymore and just do what I want, I dont make an effort for him anymore and sort of just do my own thing instead of worrying what he is doing all the time. but it still hurts and the pain never goes, its not something you just forget. so if you stay with him, it wont ever go away.

He needs to understand that it won't fly in your house, make that clear as day. If it continues, get clever. Make your own account on the same site and harrass him if need be, show him how you feel so he knows first hand.

 The sooner you get out of this relationship, the better. It's easy to say "just get over him," but it takes time to love again, and the sooner you dump him, the sooner you can find someone who is trustworthy. He's already betrayed your trust. Leave him before he can break your heart again, he's a loser and a player.

RUN!!! If he is cheating in this way now it will most likely continue or move form online to real life. Find someone you is interested in only you. As for him looking depressed--don't buy it. You can't trust him.
