Is He Showing Signs of Cheating On Me??? Posted: 09-08-05 04:43am
Hi everyone,
me and my boyfriend met two years ago.
We've been living together for about 9
months now. It's been very difficult
since we moved in together--we've had a
lot of problems on and off. He is often
very insenstive and irrisponsible, and I
have schizophrenia and have been having a
lot of trouble with that. The stress of
our relationship has caused me to relapse
many times and i've already been back to
the psych ward once this year. Almost
went back again tonight.
Anyways, aside from our problems, we do
still love each other and still have fun
together sometimes. Although he can be
very insensitive about half the time, the
other half the time, he is very loving and
supportive and tells me all the time he
wants to do everything he can to help me
and take care of me. So this makes things
really hard, because I love him so much,
yet sometimes I really really dont like
him and I just want to end our
relationship.
So anyways, i've been real suspicious of
him cheating on me, especially these last
couple weeks. Maybe I am just being
overly-paranoid, due to my 'condition',
but he hasn't had or wanted to have sex
with me for over 2 weeks now. He just
doesn't seem interested in me that way
anymore. He says it's because he's so
tired from work, but I dont believe it,
because he's never so tired that he can;'t
go and hang out with his friends.Every
day, after he gets home from work, he goes
over to be with some friends. I've never
met these people before, but im so scared
that he's really just going out and
cheating on me with some girl. The
thought makes me feel physically sick.
Well, the only thing I knew about these
friends is what neighborehood they live
in, so earlier tonight I drove down there
because he was not answering his cell
phone and he had been gone for over 3
hours-way longer than he said he'd be
gone. He had promised me he would not be
gone for more than an hour and a half
because we made plans together to watch a
movie.
So, I saw his car parked in the parkinglot
of the neighborehood where he told me he'd
be. Right when I was about to drive off,
I saw him get in his car with some girl
and drive off somewhere!!!!!!!!!!.
I went back home and tried calling him
about 5 more times. He finally called me
back about 10 minutes after I saw him
drive off with this girl. I told him i'd
been wondering what the heck he was doing
and been trying to call and he said "oh,
sorry I left my cell phone in the car" so,
I know he was in his car with this girl
when I made the last 5 calls that he
didn't answer.
He got home about 10 or 15 minutes after I
saw him get in the car with that girl.
That's why I am not too freaked out yet.
I told him I had drivin down there to see
if his car was there and had seen him get
into the car with the girl. He said she
was one of his friends friends and she
just needed a ride home.
I am so scared. I feel physically sick.
When he got back tonight, I decided to go
over to my mom's house. But when I was
halfway there, I decided it was a bad idea
because it was so late and I would wake my
mom up and she has to work tomorrow. So I
came back to our appartment. My
boyfriend's car was gone. I called his
cell phone, and just like earlier: no
answer. I called again and again. I
decided to drive back down to that
neighborehood to see if his car was there
since I could not get a hold of him. It
was. But I drove right back home. I did
not want to stay around to see if he and
some girl would come outside again. I
felt sick. I still feel sick. It's
almost 4 in the morning and he still
hasn';t come home and he still isn't
answering his phone!!. Im surprised he
didnt even try calling me earlier to see
if I had made it to my mom's house alright
because he always calls me when I go over
there to make sure I made it.
Oh god help me! I can't take this
anymore. I've asked him many times if
he's cheating on me and of coarse he
denies it. But strangly, he doesn't seem
all that disturbed that I think he is
cheating!!!
I want to get out of this relationship. I
want to just break up with him, but I also
still love him--although I dont think im
really in-love with him anymore, if you
know what I mean. If we break up, I know
i'll miss him so much and I will get
really depressed and probably suidical,
like I have been in the past. This is so
complicated.
Sorry this post got so long. I just
really needed to get this out. Thanks if
you read this and thanks if you have any
advice/support.

Maybe he is cheating on you, I can't see
any other way around that, but at the same
time I think he didn't end the
relationship because you said you'll be
suicidal and depressed. You probably
mentioned it once a long time ago, and if
the guy can be sensitive he'll remember
and be unsure of breaking the relationship
off.
At the same time, cheating is never the
answer, and you shouldn't have to make
yourself feel so much pain just for a guy.
We all may meet a love and feel we can't
find another one, but, blackwinded, I
think you'll find someone new and caring
if you try.
Good luck, no matter if you decide to stay
or to go. Try to make him sit down and
talk with you about what's been happening
recently and see what he has to say...Hope
it helps.

I'm Sorry Posted: 09-08-05 10:30am
This sounds just like the situation I had
with my ex. I have two children with that
man and it was the worst thing i've ever
had to endure. One things for sure is
that you are so very lucky that you do not
have any children with this guy. You can
start a new life with no strings attached.
Honestly, I wouldn't wait for him to
leave you or to find out for sure if he's
cheating, I would end the relationship for
my own reasons. Change is always scarey
and the death of any relationship is
always hurtful even if it is for the best.
My ex did cheat, and I swore to leave him
if I ever caught him cheating, I cried, I
begged and I thought I could never live
without him but after 9 years of this and
emotion/physical abuse I finally got the
courage to stand up for myself and admit
to myself that I did not love this man, he
did not love me and the best thing to do
would be to walk away without a fight.
I understant that you are hurt, you are
afraid but by staying with this man you
give yourself no chance for a good life.
I'll admit that it was one of the hardest
decisions and actions that I ever had to
make but after only 3 months I felt the
best that i've ever felt before that time.
Don't let depression take hold of you
regardless of your condition. Keep busy
and surrround yourself with positive
influences and people, join a club, go
back to school or what ever it takes to
keep your mind off of negetive thougths
including he may be doing. Don't feel
that you need this man as you came into
this world alone and you lived your whole
life without him up until you go together.
I believe that once you heal and start to
get to know and love yourself you will
meet someone very special who will treat
you the way you should be treated. He
will spend all his time with you and call
you his best friend because that's the way
it should be.
The decision to leave will be up to you,
but in my opinion now is the time to end
this relationship regardless if he was
cheating or not he's not there for you and
regardless if he's good to you half the
time it doesn't make up for being cruel to
you the other part of the time. It's been
6 years since i've left and it was the
best thing I could have ever done as now
i'm with my bestest friend, who treats me
like a princess and my children as his
own. We don't fight, there are no secrets
and our decisions are made together no
matter what they may be. I could go on
about how great my life is now but this is
not about me, I just want you to know how
much better your life will be after time
passes and your wounds begin to heal.
Keep strong and do whats right for you.
Best wishes

Whether real or imagined--i am sorry this
is hurting you so much. I hate guys
they so suck. If its not cheating it is
something else.
