    This is a very complicated situation but i hope you can give me some insight into this. Well my bf found out that i lied about my virginity about 3 months into our realationship and never confronted me about it. He was being the perfect bf anyone can ever have. we wanted to get married and had so many plans. After about a year he started being different and was like since we’re gonna be together anyway in the long term, lets just not go out right now. He was going through a hard time since his father passed away so i did as he said. So i was ok with it all till he started being different and having a change in behavior. Started to smoke and have a different group of friends. Then recently i started getting very mysterious because he started lying and hiding things from me. I discovered that he had naked pics of his ex which she kept sending during our relationship. And recently he sent them too. I was very upset because this seems like he cheated on me the whole time we were going out. So i finally confronted him. He said that he knew about my secret and that this is the way he was trying to get over what i lied about. i dont know what to do. he says that nothing was going on btw them but those pics say different. and there are posts of him saying he loves her but he says that he was just confused and it meant nuthing. I dont know what to do. he wants to start fresh as friends all over nd do things right. but i dont know if i believe what he says. I agreed with him starting over but i dont notice any change in him. he is acting different towards me and i dont know what to do. I really do love him thats the only reason why i agreed with him for the fresh start. But should i believe him? He doesnt like showing his emotional side and its so hard for him to jus let go and talk to me. What should i do?

    You [b]both[/b] aren’t being honest with each other. If your virginity was important to your boyfriend, it was important for you not to lie to him about it. He felt betrayed when he found out that you weren’t a virgin, although you said you were, and then he was doubly betrayed because you lied to him about the fact. Not everyone cares about virginity, but if it’s an issue in a relationship, then it’s important to respect your boyfriend’s feelings.

    Unfortunately, he wasn’t able to be honest with you either. Rather than confronting you with your lies, he behaved in kind. It would have been better if he told you that he knew about your lie and that you weren’t a virgin and asked you why you lied to him. But because he didn’t, he acted out instead, suppressing his real feelings towards you.

    I don’t think that the two of you are well suited for a healthy relationship. Honesty is one of the cornerstones of intimacy, and when you can be honest with each other about something as important as sex, you don’t have good building blocks for a relationship.

    My advice is to start practicing honesty. Not just with your boyfriend but with everyone. Check yourself to make sure you’re being scrupulous when you talk to people — with what you say, and what you [i]don’t[/i] say.
