    I’ve had some suspicions for a while about my girlfriend cheating on me with one of my friends. The other night she was chatting to this friend on facebook and as i looked over from my book she quickly deleted the chat history. All that was posted after that was “lol phew!” i asked her about what it meant and she said she couldn’t remember and that she couldn’t check as facebook had deleted it even though i saw her delete it. So the day after i logged into the friend’s facebook account for 2 reasons 1. I knew she would have deleted any proof but he wouldn’t as he didn’t know i suspected anything. 2. Because he had left his password saved on my pc. I found several messages from both of them saying things along the lines of “its been ages since we kissed like we did last night” , “can’t wait to get you back in bed so we can cuddle and have some fun” and “you can come round early today as my bf is at work an hour earlier”. So now i have all this evidence saved on my hard drive and neither of them know that i know about it so i’m waiting for her rent money and to see if she gets her period (i know its horrible to think like that but i loved her for a 18 months and i’m going through legal proceedings with her to help her get full custody of her 6 year old son) so i’m heart broken, i wanted to be a good male role model for her son, but i have to move on and i will. The question is how to confront them with the evidence considering i got it under unorthodox methods. Do i post the evidence on all three of our facebook pages for all our friends to see and just change my status to single. Or do i ask her if she has anything to tell me about her and my friend then if the answer is no show her the evidence. Any other suggestions are more than welcome i’m in dire need me advice.
    P.S. Some things you should know i’m 23 she’s a year younger the “friend” is 20. The girlfriend and i have been together for 18months and have being living together for 9months. I will not fall out with these people i will give them my blessing. I will keep things civil and i will not spoil her chances of getting her son back but will remove myself from all legal proceedings and as we have accumulated a small debt i will pay my half and start looking for somewhere else to live as i do not mind moving. All comments welcome.

    She’s a liar, a cheat and terrible role model for her son — and she doesn’t deserve you! 👿 You sound like a GREAT guy, even in what must be an incredibly painful situation. 😥

    I’m sorry that this happened to you. The only good news is that you didn’t marry her and can get away.

    I say confront her and no matter what she says or what excuse she gives — RUN! A cheat is a cheat is a cheat and they never change. Do NOT give her a second chance no matter what she says or excuse she gives. She has proven to be a liar and you cannot believe a word she says. 😯

    I also do NOT think you should pay any of the legal fees. It’s her child and her legal battle — not yours. While you were acting like a great boyfriend (to say nothing of assuming the responsibility of being a step-dad) she was acting as if she didn’t even have a boyfriend (except when it came to using you and your money to get custody). 👿

    Drop her. Drop the legal bills. And get away from her ASAP!

    YOU DESERVE A LOT BETTER!!!!!! 😀 😀 😀

    I love [b]ThinkingRight[/b]‘s passion! 😆

    I think you’re right in breaking up with her, but cool it on the drama!! 😮 [i]Don’t[/i] post anything to anyone’s Facebook pages — and [i]don’t[/i] confront her with your evidence. The bottom line is that YOU know the truth now, and that should be enough for you to act. Don’t get down in the mud or throw the first mud ball in a mudslinging war. Stay out of the gutter and take the high road — especially when you’ve suffered a betrayal. 🙁

    I know you’re hurt — and you have every right to feel that way — but don’t waste your time with your soon to be ex-girlfriend looking for justice. You won’t get it from her. Instead, cut your losses, sever your relationship and extricate yourself as cleanly and quickly as you can, given your rent and debt agenda.

    You deserve more than you got in a girlfriend — next time will be better.

    Hi, topic poster here. Thanks for all the advice but i will have to show her the evidence whether it seems dramatic or not as she will need a good reason for the split. What with trying to get her son back. I have so far paid no legal fee’s and nor do i plan to her new man can do that although i found out a few minutes ago that he is asking out practically every girl he see’s on a night out (i can’t say i didn’t laugh at the thought of her reaction when she finds that one out in the due course of time)

    It’s funny as at the start of the relationship we were both hurt from the past (her more than me as her ex used to beat her black and blue) she had just got help out of that relationship with the help of yours truly. But i digress we promised each other right at the begining “NO SECRETS, NO LIES” and so i lived happily all this time safe in the knowledge that i could tell her anything good and bad and it would help us grow stronger. After being with her for so long i will have to show her the evidence as i cannot just up and leave without justification. I also need to do this so that she cannot lie to our friends and put me in a bad light. I now have her rent money all i’m waiting for is her period to show i’m in the clear. (i know i should always use protection, and if there is a pregnancy involved then i will love that child, if its mine, more than anything on this earth)

    in essence she’s actually giving u the drama..just takin u for granted until she gets caught. mite as well give the drama back and be out!
    i like the facebook idea.

    goodluck 🙂

    She’s been using you to fix her problems and all the while cheating on you and lying to you. Dump her ass. She’s a piece of garbage! 😡

    I wonder if she really did come from an abusive relationship or if she lied about that too and made it up just to get you to feel sorry for her and to get you to help her solve her problems. Unless you way actual proof, i’ll bet she lied.

    i say post both of their crap on facebook and let everyone see these two for what they really are! 😮 😮 😮

    I know for a fact it was an abusive relationship cause i saw the actual abuse and the after effects (black eyes, etc…) hence the reason i stepped in to help i cannot stand a man hitting a woman in any circumstance other than life or death

    There has been new developments as i got home tonight from work i noticed she was on facebook, and i saw the chat window open to him there was no messages just a blank screen then a second later he typed “i know”. So in general conversation i asked “what does he know?” she said “i dunno and once again i can’t check cos facebook keeps deleting it.” i wanted to scream out YOU LYING COW but i kept my cool. We are going out with a few friends tonight including him to celebrate a birthday, so as she was in the shower i checked his facebook and saw the entire conversation. (i will use S for her and H for him) S- i miss u x. H- me too x. S- when are we going to make time for each other. H- im rarely free these days. S- we need to make a day soon when both of us are not workingxxx. *delete* H- i know Then after we were both ready i went downstairs and she said that when she was talking to him they where talking about plans for tonight and how they are all going horribly wrong and that is probably what he was saying i know to. I have her red handed i’m reaching my boiling point but i must wait. I am sorry to say that am not the perfect man i’ve made myself out to be i was not the best boyfriend in the world i sometimes didn’t listen and other times was annoying as a fly buzzing in your ear. So i understand why she has done this to me but do not think that what i’ve done justifies her cheating. If i had cheated then i wouldn’t have been able to lie and we’d have split up long ago.

    no one is perfect and based upon what you’ve said about her son (and your willingness to help) shows that you’re way too good for this tramp. she’s using you. she’s lying to you. she’s sleeping with your friend (who is NOT a friend btw!) and she’s able to do all of this with zero guilt.

    drop the slut and say good riddance!

    Don’t for a second think that this is YOUR fault! She has a choice, she is in complete control of her actions. She IS taking advantage of you, lying to your face, and cheating behind your back. She didn’t have to do any of this. If she respected you AT ALL she would have done the mature and right thing by ending things with you FIRST. But instead, she has done all this, which has hurt you. Don’t blame yourself for anything. No one is perfect, okay? No one, and no one deserves to be treated the way she has treated you. End of story.

    I hope you get out of this toxic relationship[i] soon! [/i] And when you’re ready to start dating again, I hope you’ll be slower to get involved and REALLY get to know a woman very well next time so that you don’t wind up with someone like this who betrays you systematically. 😳

    Hope to see you on Facebook at my new group page, AskApril.com at this link: [url]http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=110265355684755&ref=mf[/url]. Join me! 😀

    well… i’ve done it and tears galore…. plus a shed load of excuses “so you dont trust me?”, “would i be this cclose to you and lie?”, “its called having a laugh, i was kidding around”, “we were joking”, “you can’t tell from the writing that we were joking but we were”, “so you think i’m like everyone else?”. that last one occured when i said that people have been face to face with me and lied. she has now stormed out of the room and i have called him and told him that as soon as he gets back from town at 4 he is to come here. she seems sincere that nothing happened and they were only joking and i’m guessing he will do the same. PLEASE HELP!!!!!! i need advice here its tearing me apart to see her like this and i’m already heart broken. 😥
