Im not sure why im writing on here but I
just need to get this out. A few months
back, I was at school (I go to college at
night) and my boyfriend text me and told
me he was going to hang out with some
friends. So i was like ok cool where are
yall going and he told me. That was fine
with me until a few minutes later he text
me and says I'll just tell you now, that
im going with amber (my 26 yr old cousin).
Thats when I hit the fan. All I could
think about was why did he think he had to
lie to me about going to hang out with
her. Right then, I knew there had to be
more to the story. He never lies to me. I
didnt know what to do so he kept texting
me saying are you mad at me? and i ignore
him for a little while then I finally
wrote him back and asked him why he felt
that he had to lie to me about it and then
he started this you dont trust me do you?
I just ignored that because I wasnt saying
yes or no, but at the time no I didnt
trust him because he had just lied to me
about going to hang out with my own
cousin. So I called my mom and asked if
my bf had left and she said yes and that
they had told my cousin not to go hang out
with him because she wouldnt like it if I
went and hung out with her bf while she
was busting her ass at work all day and
then at school at night. So she went
anyways and the whole time they were out
(they went to play pool) he was texting me
and we were arguing. When I got home from
school at about 9:45 he texted me and said
I dont know if Im coming home tonight
(since we had been fighting). So i called
him and was like I see what means more to
you and blah blah. So a little later he
gets home and I hear him throwing my stuff
out of his car so that he can take his car
and leave. Right before he had got there
I had seen that she (my cousin) had sent
him a picture of her boobs (naked) on his
phone and he had forwarded it from his
phone to his email. Wow right then I hit
the fan and couldnt think of anything
except how hurt I was. So I went outside
and went up to him and he was so mad (and
i knew he was mad bc he knew he had done
wrong) but he was mad and wanted to leave
until my mom made him come in and talk to
her. The whole time she was talking to
him I didnt know what to think. This is
the guy that I had given everything up for
and I worked and went to school so that I
can make more money and help us better
ourselves. I did everything for him and I
knew everything about him. Our
relationship was much more than people
thought they knew. We have been through
things that no one knows about and I
couldnt believe that he would have done
something like this to me. So then I
talked to him and he just sat there and
didnt say anything. He never would admit
that what he did was wrong (until we went
to bed that night) and he still never said
he was wrong he just said he didnt mean to
hurt me. But he told me that she had sent
that pic to his phone for a coworker the
day before. I was livid. I dont care if
it was for someone else she knew he was my
bf and she shouldnt have sent it to his
phone. Then I couldnt believe that he
didnt tell me about it and then he went
out with her. That was sooo messed up.
Well we worked it out, technically he
didnt do anything with her. Then about a
month ago one of my other cousins told me
that my cousin amber (the girl my bf went
to hang out with) had told her that my bf
had told her if she would give him the
time of day, he would cheat on me. That
just started it all over again for me. I
asked him about it and he admited to it
but wouldnt say anything else about it.
Needless to say I lost a lot of trust in
him because like I said he never lied to
me about anything major or really at all.
Once again I got over everything and
decided to be with him because I loved him
way too much and no matter what he did to
me I couldnt be without him. But still to
this day I find myself questioning our
relationship and if I trust him or not. I
really dont trust him and for some reason
I always doubt myself and make myself feel
like Im not the one he wants. I say stuff
about that night all the time and he gets
mad at me about it and tells me not to say
things like that but its just my way of
getting it out and i dont know. I want to
leave it alone and put it in the past but
for some reason I keep letting it get to
me. I love him more than anything in the
world and he loves me too but then again I
think if he loved me he wouldnt have hurt
me. I would never do anything to
jeopordize our relationship and I know
that two wrongs do not make a right. I
just cant help but re live it over and
over and wonder if he will do something
like that to me again. Im pretty sure he
did it because he was lonely. I went to
school in the morning, worked till 4 then
went to school at night from 5 to 1030 at
night. And he worked too so we didnt get
much time together on the weekdays. He
never would say that was the reason but he
did ask me if he was going to get to see
me more. But even if that was why he did
it, that does not justify it. But I just
needed to tell someone else and I hope
that someone will reply even though I just
wrote a book. Sorry. But someone please
share a similar story or just a little bit
of insight.

First of all I dont blame you for your
paranoia about him cheating on you..he has
betrayed your trust...thats something HARD
to regain once its lost..its the
foundation of any relationship and if
theres no trust..eventually the
relationship wont work....i cant tell you
how many times i used to argue with my
boyfriend over similar things..he hasn't
gotten any naked pics or hung out or
cheated on me or w/e but there was a
questionable text msg in his phone that
was NOT ok from him and some chick at his
work...thinking about it now makes me
LIVID...i have to take my mind off of
it...I still question some things and some
days it kills me not to look at his phone
bc honestly..i'm not the type of person to
waste my time on a b.s. relationship..if
you want me..be with me and be HONEST with
me..dont waste my time if i'm not good
enough for you bc I'll find a guy that
will respect me and appreciate
me...anyway...he saw how much he hurt
me..and he got caught..and he KNOWS i'm
good at finding out about that sort of
thing..so if he even tries to be a
player..he WILL get busted..and let him
just TRY and find another girl that treats
him half as good as I do...this
was...alittle over a year into our
relationship...and for a while things were
really rocky for a while...i was obsessive
at looking at his phone which ultimately
continued to cause fights...but we've made
it through it, and i'm starting to trust
him more and more each day
your situation to me seems MUCH worse off
considering it is your cousin AND the
whole picture thing which is NOT ok..i'm
sorry..you dont flash your cousins
boyfriend and then come up with some B.S.
excuse that it was for a coworker..i would
NOT trust her and i would say honestly
that if he wants to continue the
relationship with you then the two of them
should have NO contact at all
whatsoever..the number needs to be deleted
from his phone and if he talks to her
again you're DONE...given the situation he
should have absolutely no problem with
it...why would he need her number? as for
her...well, i couldn't tell you what I'd
do..probably give her an earful of
some...not so pleasant words...also, if
she had a boyfriend and was messing with
my boyfriend..i'd make CERTAIN that her
boyfriend knew what exactly she was up
to(sending pictures of herself topless)
if you truly believe that you two can
recover and move on with this relationship
then give it another chance...but the
trust thing will drive you crazy...and if
you dont feel like you can ever trust him
again...then its probably best to just not
waste your time...he cant NOT talk about
this situation..it needs to be talked
about...maybe sit him down..in a nice
quiet place and tell him that if you two
want to save the relationship you need to
talk about this..talk it out..and after
you've talked about it..dont bring it up
again...
sorry its so long! I hope things work out
for the best for you

Thank you very much for taking time to
reply. I definately made it clear the
night that it all happened that he would
have absolutely NO more contact in any way
with her and if so I was done. I deleted
every number of hers out of his phone,
deleted her from both of our myspace and
from our instant messaging list. I no
longer associate with her and I cant stand
her anymore and she knows not to be around
me. I really do not think he would ever
talk to her again especially in a way like
that but because he lives with me and she
lives with her parents which live right
down the street, it still bothers me. But
my family all knows what happened so they
would let me know if something else came
up. I just cant stand the fact that any
of that ever happened. She did drive by
his work the other day and like stared at
him and then another day when he was on
lunch she saw him and honked at him, but
he comes home and tells me everytime he
sees her or whatever that way I know. Its
just hard for me because he never lies to
me and why he would choose to do something
like that Ill never know. I dont think he
will cheat on me but because of that I
still have doubts in my mind. Sometimes I
realize that I try to pick fights about it
and I think its because Im still not over
it. In his mind its been over and done
with but he doesnt understand that it will
take me a lot longer to completely let it
go. But I love him more than anything and
other than that we have never had any
major issues. It just bothers me because
all of that stupid bs makes me question
our relationship but he always assures me
that Im the one he wants. its just hard

at the beginning of my relationship with
my current boyfriend he did the same. but
in this case it was with his baby mama
(weve been together 1 1/2 years now) but
they would flirt and she would send him
picks of her boobs cause he would ask her,
and then show it to his friends(gross and
disrespectful)
so i found them and chewed him out on it
and he erased them, second time he was
drunk and his friends were pushing him to
txt her and get her to send some pics, so
he did and although he says she didnt send
them i found out that she did so again i
chewed him out on it. but now he doesnt
talk to her cause of a little insident
that happened, were she lied about her
current boyfriend not wanting my boyfriend
to visit his daughter(which ended up being
a cover up because she still had feelings
for him, to make a long story short she
yelled at him saying it should have been
her not me he was with, that she was
jealous and mad cause we were together and
that he loved me) so i was happy he saw
what shes really like, but dissapointed
that i couldnt get to meet his daughter
because of her immature lieing butt lol
anyways after all those little insident i
did loose alot of trust in him, but i
would always keep my guard up and i
learned to pick my battles. i try every
day to make myself trust him a little bit
at a time, i still love him the same but
after all weve been thru, the
argument,fights, almost breaking up
once...you have to draw the line as to how
much you.ll put up with. if i EVER found
out that my boyfriend said what your said
about if she would give him the time of
day, he would cheat on you, it would be
over. cause one thing is being bored and
immature and flirting harmlessly with his
female friends, co workers etc, but
another is being serious about if given
the chance that he would cheat. you have
to draw the line somewere. be strong

Never do this for anyone. Do these things
for yourself.
Anyways, this sounds like a whole lot of
juvenile drama. Dump the lying boyfriend,
forget the vicious cousin, and don't play
games anymore-the ignoring, the picking
fights, etc. Since like-breeds-like,
you're going to end up in more
melodramatic relationships unless you make
a change. The only person you can control
is you.
