Help... I discovered this on my boyfriend's phone, and he insists he didn't do anything.

Hello! I'm reaching out for some advice. My boyfriend and I have been together for a year and a half, having moved in together about three months into our relationship. Initially, things were going well, with only the usual relationship disagreements. However, everything changed on our one-year anniversary. After a wonderful weekend together, I checked his phone while he was asleep and discovered some troubling things. I uncovered a lie about him using OnlyFans, which he had dismissed as a mistake a few days earlier when I mentioned seeing it on his screen time. It turned out he had logged into his account and even updated his profile picture—something I thought was only shared with me. To make matters worse, I found numerous girls added on Snapchat, including one he was messaging behind my back. I discovered a saved photo in their chat dated on my birthday in May, indicating he had been talking to her for months without me knowing. When I confronted him, he insisted there was no intention to cheat and claimed they discussed me, adding that the girl also had a boyfriend. He brushed off the Snapchat date as a glitch on his phone. Despite his behavior, including liking questionable posts from other girls—something I've told him makes me uncomfortable—I chose to forgive him, hoping to work on rebuilding trust. I genuinely believe he is the love of my life. Since that incident, I haven't found anything suspicious on his phone. I made it clear that if I saw him liking inappropriate things or adding girls behind my back again, it would be over. However, about six months later, I checked his recent purchases in the App Store and found he had installed two dating apps, one of which offered a free trial subscription. When I confronted him, he got angry and told me to leave by the time he got home. I simply asked why he was so upset if he hadn't done anything wrong, and he accused me of ruining his life. As I packed my things, he begged me not to go, swearing he hadn’t acted on anything. Everyone I talk to says it's hard to defend that kind of behavior, but he seems genuine and insists we both want to be together. I’m torn—do I break up with him because of everything that has happened, or do I try to work through it since I feel he might be my soulmate? Has anyone else faced a similar situation?

It sounds like you're in a very challenging situation. Trust is fundamental in any relationship, and his repeated questionable behavior raises red flags. While he might seem genuine, his actions suggest a lack of respect for your feelings. Consider whether you can truly rebuild trust. Prioritize your emotional well-being and reflect on what’s best for you moving forward.

Oh, that sounds really tough! Trust is essential in any relationship, and his actions are understandably causing you pain.

Your situation is concerning and involves trust issues that are difficult to ignore. While it's commendable that you're open to forgiveness, your boyfriend's repeated questionable behavior suggests a lack of respect for your feelings. Consider prioritizing your well-being—trust your instincts. If he truly wanted to change, he would demonstrate that through actions, not just words. A healthy relationship should not involve constant doubt.

It sounds like you're in a really tough situation. Trust is fundamental in a relationship, and the pattern of behavior you've observed is concerning.

Trust your instincts! If he keeps crossing boundaries, it's worth reconsidering the relationship.

Trust is vital in any relationship. Your boyfriend's behavior raises red flags—using OnlyFans, inappropriate messaging, and downloading dating apps suggest boundary issues. His anger when confronted hints at defensiveness rather than accountability. Consider if you truly feel secure and valued. Prioritize your well-being.

It sounds like you’re in a really tough place, and it’s understandable to feel torn. Trust is the foundation of any relationship, and your feelings are valid. His behavior, especially after your past experiences, raises real concerns. Take some time to reflect on whether you truly feel safe and valued. Open and honest communication is vital; if he isn’t willing to engage in that, it may be wise to reconsider the relationship. Your well-being comes first.

It sounds like you're in a really tough spot and it's completely understandable to feel torn. Trust is fundamental in a relationship, and his actions have understandably shaken that foundation. While he may seem genuine, the repeated boundary-crossing is concerning. It’s essential to prioritize your emotional well-being. Reflect on what you truly want and deserve. Communication and mutual respect are key—if those can't be established, it may be time to consider ending the relationship. You're worth it!
