This may be an odd post or it may be becoming rote due to the advent of technology in the dating world, but here goes:
I met my boyfriend on Craigslist when he responded to my ad for a long term relationship. We hit it off immediately and spent 6 happy months getting to know each other. I consider myself pretty open minded, so when he asked if I would ever consider a threesome I went back to Craigslist to see who might be interested in being our third party. A woman responded and we began to chat with each other via email, and then one day she up and stops responding to me. Thinking I had been duped by some hairy 60 yr old man pretending to be a woman to see how far I would go, I didnt think much of this until two days ago when I found more than a dozen naked pictures of this woman on my boyfriends phone, two months after she stopped talking to me. The first was sent via email, the rest directly to his phone from her number, and there were texts spanning the past two months and a call as recent as that day on his phone records. I confronted him, and he denied involvement (of course), saying he had met her ‘hanging out’ and had not cheated on me. Well the pictures told a different story, and the call logs backed it up so I dumped him right away — but not before contacting the woman in question and asking her to give me her take on things. Without even needing to introduce myself, she knew who I was as soon as I texted her and that leads me to believe her keyed her into the story and her tale that they had not had sex was fabricated. I take full responsibility for bringing that woman into our lives, but believe or not was totally shocked to find out he was cheating on me, or at least intending to. So the question is, does this mark all craigslist relationships in the ‘sketchy’ category? Am I vindicated in believing he is full of it and did physically cheat even though they both say he did not, and that he is possibly is a serial craigslist relationshipper? And now, when he is begging for me back, how do I convey to him that although I realize my HUGE mistake in bringing this woman into our lives, his mistake is much bigger?
