    I am new to all this but would really like to hear some advice from both girls and guys points of view.
    Basically i have been with my bf for 2 years but this time last year i found out he had been talking to girls (he has never met) online and using webcam. Without being too explicit, he would ask them to do stuff over the camera, for his enjoyment. Don’t get me wrong, i have no problem with him looking at porn, after all its perfectly healthy. However i felt it was far too personal, having this one on one communication via webcam. Once i found out, he swore down he wouldn’t do it again. I believed him as he was truely upset and embarrassed, however a few months down the line, it kept coming up in conversation, arguing loads and so we split up. We got back together again in October ’09, (three months after) and to this day i am still a bit worried about what he’s up to on the net. We are both at different uni’s so i am not with him everyday and we see each other at the weekends. Its really getting to me now cos i worry everytime he is on his computer! This isn’t right. I really don’t know what to do and I have talked to him about it but he says hes not doing anything behind my back (eg. talking to other girls or going on webcams.) I know i need to trust him, but he really hurt me and is difficult to forget.
    Please help 🙂

    Because you took him back, and he agreed to change his behavior of web cam porn, you have to find a way to forgive him and trust him unless proven otherwise. Forgiveness can be extremely difficult, as can trust, but if you can’t find those two things in your heart you shouldn’t be with him.

    Allow yourself time to work through these emotions. The distance between the two of you is going to be difficult because dating someone at a different university, even without the past issues you two have, is often fraught with mistrust.

    Keep your own life active and full. Remind yourself of why you forgave him and took him back — over and over. And understand that each day that passes where he does not do what he’s promised not to do is a day of progress and commitment towards your relationship.

    This is an “inside job” you have to do on yourself. Keeping the communication open with your boyfriend is good, but if you make this an issue when it isn’t one, the ghost in the relationship will destroy it. Let go and forgive.
