for the past 5 or so week my boyfriend has made excuses to not see me on either a friday or saturday. Mostly they've been because he has headaches, which may be true because of the rain. Other reasons include getting called into work (hes a fire fighter) and just being too tired, because whenever we hang out it always til late. One time I did go by his house(I got him ice cream) when he had a headache and I noticed his car wasn't in the driveway like normal. The only excuse I can think of is that it was in the cole-de-sac and I didn't see it. He was home by 11pm though that night, because he was online. I know sometimes he does like to do things by himself or with the guys.
I'm worried he's cheating or has another gf, but other than this I have no other proof. No weird actions or anything weird on like his Facebook. He has let me look at the pics on his phone, and goes on Facebook when I'm in the room. I mean nothing I really notice. I don't know what to think or if I'm over reacting. I know I know I make a lot of posts but if someone could just help me rationalize that would mean a lot to me
Truth is he might be cheating, or he might not. What is worrying is your obsessiveness regarding this.
Checking his phone and his Facebook account, driving by his house to check on him and spending hours conjouring up ideas about what he may or may not be up to is not healthy.
If this guy likes you and you are good together then you have nothing to worry about, if on the other hand he is indifferent, then he may well be cheating.. either way there is nothing you can do about it.
So get out there, enjoy the company of your friends and family, have interests, do things, meet new people and stop obsessing about what this guy may be up to.. He will find you more attractive in the long run.
Yes I do know I need to stop worrying, but based on what I said what do you THINK? he is cheating or not? obviously you don't know for sure - 4 months ago

I'll be brutally honest with you.. I came to this site because I wanted a woman's advice.. and I don't really know any that don't know my ex-girlfriend.. If you read my original question you will see that I have cheated on my girlfriend..
I really want to help you and give you a staightforward answer, but unfortunately you will never be able to provide as much information that you know about this situation to anyone who is likely to give you advice here.. (cont) - 4 months ago
Men in this type of profession, are ones that may or may not come home one day or night. Whether they have a relationship or not. But most do! and perhaps with this gentleman, there maybe a small part in there somewhere in him, that wants you the most, but that small part of him that knows his profession might take him down. This might be a man that doesn't wish to lose you. this is the surface level I speak of. Beneath that it maybe he's afraid of losing you to his profession and he knows this. With this behavior you write about, would make perfect sense of what seems like the feeling of in and out with you, not sure. You are a woman, and I don't feel you are over reacting, you just really like this man, he's struck a note in your heart somewhere deep.
I think you're overreacting to it, but I do think that you do have a reason to be suspicious about him. Other than that, I suggest you confront him to make things clearer.
he might be trying to be careful about whatever he is up to , like if I was trying to meet other girls or allready meet one I wouldn't be mentioning that on Facebook if I had a girlfriend , so the lack of anythign there isn't surprising . but his behaviour is very odd and the fact he's a firefighter could mean there is a lot of girls who might be interested in him , so yeah I'm not sure what's going on but maybe you need to talk to him about this if your concerned he's up to something .
What should I talk to him about? which actions are "very odd" i mean he also lets me look at his phone somewhat like pics and he answers his phone when I'm around. he doesn't ACT like he is hiding anything I mean. he also has top friends on his phone and I'm on there as well as two other close friends who I know. so idk. what else can I look for? - 4 months ago

Since I don't know him I'm not sure what specifically you should be looking for , mean its possible too he just needs some alone time with himself or the guys . but who knows , you really have to go with your gut on this one , if you thinks he's up to something and have a gut feeling that he is plus some evidence or he's not where he is suppose to be or always out , its more than likely he is up to something . - 4 months ago
Question Asker
And by up to something do you mean cheating? or just out my himself and doesn't want to tell me "ya know what I want to spend tonight alone" - 4 months ago
As someone who left her husband because of an affair, I can tell you that there are so many signs to look out for.
1. His behavior changes. He seems extra happy like he can do anything. 2. His interests suddenly change. This was a red flag for me. He suddenly had an interest in Country music. 3. He is texting all the time and gets furious if his signal goes down. 4. His affections for you change. 5. When he's with you he seems distant like he's hiding something.
After reading what you described, it doesn't sound like he's cheating. Do you make plans and he cancels them? I would say that if his actions haven't changed and he seems fine when he's with you, then you are most likely okay. Believe me, guys can be mysterious. When they are, we tend to doubt their commitment to the relationship. One thing I'm trying to learn after being burned in that past relationship is that all people are inherently good. You have to give them a chance. Trust can be hard especially now when technology makes it so easy to communicate with each other. But if you love him and you know he loves you, then you have a lot to be thankful for. If it continues to bother you, talk to him about your commitment to each other and how important it is to you. Sometimes guys need us to be bold and say what we need from them. If he is happy about the way you feel about a commitment, then yay for you! :)
If he likes you, he would've found the time to hang out with you! Move on to someone or spend some time being solo! Being single isn't as bad as it seems! And if this isn't what you want to do, talk to him. If he's pushing you off, then let him go.
That's weird. When I was around 18, I had a boyfriend who started claiming the same thing. Than every Friday he started claiming a headache & how he couldn't make it. Than on my B-day at a party held in my honor at his parents he announced he was being accused of getting a 14 year old girl pregnant at a camp ground. It explained a lot of why I was asked why I was with such trash at the prom. I never did know the outcome because I didn't stick around long enough to find out. One day 2 mths L8r he did call me to see how I was. I could hear someone in the background yelling hurry up with the phone. It sounded like when in a movie your in jail & people are waiting in line to use the phone
my ex always did that but he would say he's busy and he's working so much or always something unexpected comes up..but he proven me that he hasent lied..so I got to see him only every saturday nite.. so I don't think he's cheating on u..just maybe has a lot going on..
btw I think you should look at my question and try helping me out 2 please... ;] I would really appreciate it
I mean its not thar often. and I shouldnt say its ONLY friday and saturday. there have been other days of the week where he gets tired or has been called into work or doesn't feel well. Its just not as common it seems. And like I said I know sometimes he does just want alone time or an hr bowling with the guys then go home to sleep. Or he has a headache and just wants to be alone or watch a movie alone...which I can understand. - 4 months ago
Wait for the past week or so or 5 weeks?That confused me. He does have a stressful job. That was a good thing that you took him ice cream to try to take care of him but did you get it to him? You said his car wasn't there but was he? If not did you call to find out? Have you been cheated on in the past? Maybe your over reacting. Is it all in your head or do you have a GUT feeling. If you have that GUT feeling go with it. Mine has never let me down. Also why would he have headaches cause of rain?
