    I am having a serious problem. I just found out a few days ago, my fiance, who I have been dating for five years, has been calling girls on and off in the past, trying to “get with them.” He swears he never actually cheated, he only did it for the “rush of getting away with it” and because he “was afraid to be with only one person.” I was in complete shock, and I really don’t know what to do. I love him very much, and I know that he loves me too, even though it’s hard for me to understand why he would do this. I caught him doing it. I heard something from a girl at work that raised concern, but I just blew it off becuase I assumed he was always honest. My mom wanted to check the phone records, and I thought she was crazy. But she found that my fiance had in fact texted this girl. We couldn’t view what the text said though. I told him, and he was in denial at first and then broke down and admitted to it all. I left, and called off the wedding. Could I ever trust him again? There have always been other issues in our relationship. He’s unemployed and hasn’t really been job hunting as much as I think he should. But I love him so much and my heart is so broken. I told him I need time to think, but i would really like some advice from someone who doesn’t know either of us personally. He swears he will change and do anything in the world to get me back, anything I ask. He says I’m his world, and he won’t ever give up on us, that he’s sorry and he knows it was a terrible thing to do. He says he never cheated, and though I know it might just be me being stupid, I believe him. Could I ever get back together with him or trust him again? Is this a sign that we shouldn’t be together? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Please.

    Sometimes a bad thing can be a gift in disguise. Consider yourself a kid at Christmas, because you just got a huge gift in finding out about your fiance’s true character before you married him.

    Your fiance is not mature enough to be married, and you deserve a LOT better than someone who’s texting and calling girls off and on during your entire 5 year relationship and engagement. You should call off the wedding and say goodbye to him forever. You can do A LOT BETTER.

    His behavior alone is a giant deal breaker. But that he’s getting married, is unemployed and isn’t using every waking moment to look for and obtain employment tells me you need to raise the bar on your standards! This is not what love looks like, and it’s not what a healthy relationship looks like. Sorry. 😕

    Your feelings of love need to be re-examined. You can love lots of people, things, pets, causes and men — but it doesn’t mean that any of them deserve your hand in marriage let alone your time on a date. You need to start valuing yourself so that you understand what you have to offer a man, and what you expect and deserve in return. (Get my book, Think & Date Like A Man [url]http://www.askapril.com/relationship-dating-advice/think-and-date-like-a-man.html[/url], and read it!) Until you do that, you’re going to continue to settle for unemployed guys who cheat on you. 👿

    You dodged a bullet by finding out about this cheating. Anything he says in response is silly. Move on. Mr. Right is out there for you. 🙂
