cheating: My boyfriend is meeting people on dating sites... is this cheating?
Question Posted Tuesday May 1 2012, 6:05 am
I just learned that my boyfriend of a year is still visiting dating sites. He has friends on facebook that I had questioned him about. His response was "they are just friends." I msgd one of them and she informed me that she did meet him on one of those sites. Should I consider this a form of cheating and should I let him go?

There is no such thing as a guy being just friends with a girl and vice versa...don't believe that for a second. This is definitely cheating!! I too caught my boyfriend on a dating site and was packing my bags and told him "whatever is good for the goose, is good for the gander"...he begged me for forgiveness, gave me the password, then deleted the site for good. I read everything he had been saying to those girls...he was giving his # left and right. Why did he delete? cause he didn't want to lose me. He admitted it was wrong and it IS cheating and he definitely wouldn't want me to do that to him. [ justagirlfriend's advice column | Ask justagirlfriend A Question ]

No. If you truly are in love with him, tell him it bothers you and see if he will bring it to an end. But to me, it seems like he is trying to keep his options open and is looking for a fling more than anything else. He's the type that cheats on you.... But like i said, confront him about it. Ask him to stop visiting these sites, tell him how him staying on these sites make you feel. If he stays on them I suggest letting him go! [ awesomeal16's advice column | Ask awesomeal16 A Question ]
parsimoniousdino answered Tuesday May 1 2012, 6:11 pm: I would say drop him. He sounds like one of those types that explores his options and sleeps with any girl he gets a chance with. My best friend was married to a guy that was exploring his options on dating websites, she just ignored it at first. Later she found out he was meeting those girls. If you really like this boy, you could wait until there are signs that he is cheating before calling him out. [ parsimoniousdino's advice column | Ask parsimoniousdino A Question ]
scooperster answered Tuesday May 1 2012, 12:55 pm: I can give you the answer you probably won't like. Odds are if you suspect him, you're right. If he's meeting people on sites or being secretive, than odds are he's cheating/or leading up to it. You may confront him and he will keep denying it until you find out the truth, but by then you may be the only one getting hurt.
Someone in a serious relationship who cares about the other person doesn't need to reach out to sites like that. That shows a complete lack of respect and a future tendency which should be flags for you. Think about moving on and good luck. [ scooperster's advice column | Ask scooperster A Question ]
