I've been together with my girlfriend for about 1 year now. When we first started dating, she didn't want to tell her family or anyone at home because they all thought she was still with her last boyfriend (even HE thought that). She doesn't like confrontation, so I presumed this to be the reason. He came to visit her (a 700 mile drive) on the presumption that they were still together, even though I told her the decent thing to do would be to just tell him the truth and save him the trip. That never happened, he visited for a weekend, and they had sex. I forgave her for that, because after talking with the boyfriend I found out that she really didn't want to, and of course at the time he didn't know what was wrong. They broke up, and she despises him now.
The problem is that her other ex boyfriend texts her just about every day (throughout our relationship), and calls her time to time as well. She says that she's glad they decided to be just friends because they get along much better that way. So I let that go on. She was also very friendly with other guys at school, naively trusting everyone. I found her once watching a movie in her room alone with another guy at school, the same guy that took her rock climbing during the beginning of our relationship. I expressed some concern over that, and I got the "we're just friends. What, I can't have any friends now?" The scary part is that she used to walk to just any guy's house. When one called her and asked her to go party with him and a few of his friends (he mentioned they had alcohol) I cautioned her to be careful about situations like that, but I let her make her own decision (which was not to go).
She is also very friendly with other guys in school. Sometimes she'd start a text to a guy with something like "Cheer up, love." I'm not sure if I should worry about that or not, but I do. Now she's out of school for summer, and 700 miles away from me. Her ex (the one who texts her often) lives about an hour and a half away from her, but somehow finds time to stay with his grandma down the street from my gf. He visits her house sometimes because he used to work for her father and I guess he's a friend of the family too. I recently asked her if she had another AIM s/n (which I know she does), and she said no. Her other s/n is "Crazy4BLANK," where BLANK is her ex's s/n. She also swears more often than she used to.
One night, her ex and a few other people were at her house, everyone left but her and her ex. I told her I'd call her in an hour, but decided to call a half hour early. She answered the phone, sounding very tired, and she repeated a few times that she fell asleep on the couch. What worries me is that she never mentioned when her ex left. Afterward, she said he left when everyone else left. Her stories are usually missing details, or they change. She also got REALLY lovey dovey to me all of a sudden. She says she loves me. I love her so much. Please help.

Update: The thing is that she lives in an area where the closest Wal-Mart is over an hour away; it's desolate, and I know because I've been there. There is nothing to do but hang out with people.    3 months ago

Update: I asked her on the phone about her other AIM s/n, and she said it was really her first, and she just kept both on so people could contact her after she switched to the new one. It seems reasonable.    3 months ago

Update: She called my roommate today to get my exact address (I just moved). She just called me before she went to sleep, and told me she had a surprise for me. It seems like she's just very naive, which makes her too trusting of other people.    3 months ago

Update: Honestly, I don't think she'd cheat on me. SHE actually talked to ME about marriage first. Because of where she comes from, she's not used to so many people at college, and so much attention from guys.    3 months ago

Update: Since I've met most of her guy friends (who either like me or are afraid of me), I don't think anything would've happened. Even if anything DID happen, is there any way for me to find out?    3 months ago

Update: It's also very possible that I either forget the details of her stories after the first time I heard them, or what she tells me is true so the details aren't too important. When we first met she also told me she's always had mostly guy friends.    3 months ago

Update: So maybe it's all normal for her, and I'm just not used to girls like her. She says she doesn't drink (and I've never seen her drink). I guess she and her ex (this is her ex before the last ex, mind you) are just very good friends, like she says.    3 months ago

to your girlfriend, how did you know that everyone had gone home except him? did she let that info slip in the first phone convo? so you call 30 minutes early, no biggie. but then she sounds out of breathe, it would probably raise a confusion in my head a bit, especially her feeling the need to convince you that she had fallen asleep on the couch, but what really would've raised a red flag was her lying about when her ex left? that's pretty suspicious if you ask me. if nothing was going on, she would've left NO need to lie about it. it just doesn't make sense to me.

with her getting lovey dovey on you. and I am not insinuating that your girlfriend is a cheater, but typically, after someone cheats on their significant other, they get very nervous about it, then comes the regret, so from the guilt comes this lovey dovey cover-up to reassure the relationship, like if they assure you they love you, you won't ever suspect that they're f***ing around on you. you get what I'm saying?

I don't know you two personally, so it's impossible for me to make a proper assumption about what may or may not be going on. but from all the shit you've put up with, it's safe to say you love this girl. but the question is, does she love you and ONLY you? You really sound like a lovely guy, you don't deserve some girl that's messing with your head and heart this much. on that note, FOLLOW YOUR INTUITION. Do you think she's cheating on you? Throw away thinking the whole "she seems very very sweet and says she loves me" for one moment, listen to your logic this round. what is your logic mind telling you? Because even though I don't know you two personally, and from an outsiders view, I'm having some intense suspicions about your girlfriend

hmm, okay well first, I want to mention what happened with the 700-mile away ex that was under the impression that they were still together. okay, so you mentioned at the time he didn't know what was wrong with them having sex. you shouldn't have had to clarify that, she should've made that VERY clear before he even showed up, but since that wasn't in her plans, she should've made it crystal clear as soon as he showed up to the house for the weekend . I really cannot grasp how she allowed him to have sex with her? that's so f***ed up on SO many levels. that would've been it for me, I would've long gone told her to f*** off. not trying to condemn or anything, I'm just sitting here with my face like this :O reading what she's done to you throughout this relationship. so okay, back to the story. obviously, the feelings between you two are strong, and you were able to over-look her little rendezvous and forgive her, awesome.

now with her and this OTHER ex who texts everyday. that's awesome you let it go and just overlook it, I would probably be okay with the occasional texting and stuff, but they're texting back and forth daily? I'm sorry, friends or not, they used to have sex. that would NOT be okay with me. by any chance do ever 'lurk' the texts? it might be a good idea to SECRETLY scan through and just see what's being said. especially after summers over and she and him part ways.

so wait, you and her are together. but she gets invited to parties with guys and doesn't bring you along? also, she's out of school for the summer. can't help but wonder why aren't you 700 miles away with her?


It really sounds to me like your girlfriend doesn't fully understand the boundaries of BOYFRIEND;GIRLFRIEND status. such as:
*you don't text daily with a guy, ESPECIALLY when he's an ex boyfriend. um, HELLO!
*you don't let your ex-boyfriend think you're still together, so much to the point that you allow sex to happen
*you don't hide your boyfriend from your family, and let them think you're with someone else. that makes no sense, why would there be a confrontation?
*you don't lie about when your ex-boyfriend left your house, after picking up the phone sounding like you just ran a mile. I'm sorry, fell asleep on the couch.

bear in mind, I'm really not trying to offend you;your girlfriend. I've just really got the impression that she doesn't fully understand the boundaries of girlfriend;boyfriend status. or maybe she does, and doesn't care. you sound absolutely lovely, and you need to make these boundaries very clear to your girlfriend, you don't deserve to be treated this way, bottom line. Right now, she's not acting like a girlfriend at all, she's acting more like a friends-with-benefits

as for the s/n situation, maybe she misunderstood the question and thought you were asking if she had another s/n that she actually uses. so that's not too big a deal to worry about ;) with her and this ex-boyfriend who's finding a way to stay VERY close

Question Asker Most of the people she's with are either friends of her family or her family itself. The ex visits around the holidays, and at irregular intervals (she still lives with her parents, mind you). Her parents love me, so I don't think they would keep me in the dark if something were going on. It's tough to diagnose when you don't know her personally. She's really very sweet, and this makes her look much worse than she probably is. - 3 months ago

I'll admit that I only read the first few paragraphs to your novel but I had a girlfriend like that once. She treated me like a king when she was around me, never argued, did any and everything for me without asking, cooked for me everyday, bought me stuff, sex all day everyday anytime anywhere. like she was crazy about me. So I dumped her.why?
Because when she was not around me she was just a ho starving for male attention. Doing the same thing for other guys too. she always wanted to lie or omit parts of the truth under the guise of "avoiding confrontation" which in time I discovered was really a big load of crap which really was the fact that she didn't want to be exposed for the fraud she really was. She would never break up with a guy. Only stop calling them after "she woke up and decided" they were no longer together. In the beginning she'd run to me crying about her ex was stalking her so I called the guy and told him they were through. come to find out (from him at least) that he thought they were still together. I still to this day have no idea what the hell she wanted me or why she did so much for me if she wanted to screw and be a servant for everyone else too. some women are just retarded that way and can't stand to spend a minute alone.
so what I'll say is dump the chic if she is making your life way too confusing. don't even offer an explaination or closure. she doesn't deserve it.

Dude are you kidding, what is there to say to that she's been cheating on you is that not obvious, she's still having sex with her ex and prob a ton of other guys, dang, man if I were you I would get out of that relationship asap cause if you don't this girl will eat you alive man, if that was me, I wouldn't have put up with any of that crap if my girlfriend had a ex boyfriend that came to visit her and if I found her with other guys alone in her room, there would be hell to pay. In the end I prob would have cheated on her and broken up with her. But hey that's just me.

tazzy I totally agree to tex151. I wouldn't tolerate seeing my girlfriend alone in a room with another girl, unless he's one of our/my super close buddies. But in the situation you describe, I'd say I would have been at least inquisitive. Ask yourself this, If a girl that truly liked you and wanted you solely, she would be furious and dump you asap, if you did the same as what she is doing right now. - 3 months ago
