He is not being honest with me (cheating???)

Ok so tonight dp fell asleep on the sofa with his phone infront of him ...It's not been a great year in this 6 days already he has lost his job and was tired today after couple of interviews. Soo a message flashes up on his phone...A woman saying she's not doing anything just waiting by the phone for him?????!!! ... I picked up his phone and began to read through it which I never do. There are 3 diff women conversations ....Ranging from meeting up, him saying hello sexy and then later saying it was nice to see her she looked good but tired and he had sent her a pic of the lamp in our bedroom, and his hair today. Another one he was asking if she needs a massage. And one was thanking him for gifts. Also he was asking them if they were in town today. ....So I'm sure u agree it sounds like he is cheating or at least trying to with several women. When I wake him up with a zillion questions, He shuts down on me .... He suffers anxiety anyway so am used to that. He eventually snatched the phone from me, promised not to delete the messages and later deleted messenger. I wish I had been wise enough to send them to myself or something so I had the proof infront of me instead of it being a big heart thumping blur but I remember what I saw that can't be denied. He wanted to leave the house .... I convinced him to go to bed as leaving will only make things worse and he can tell me gradually what's going on but as I suspected he's then playing on the limitations of what I know from these few conversations ... At work we give the upstairs workers left overs ...This is what she means by gifts. ...Not giving me a straight answer to where he met up with this past 'friend' he is calling sexy & sending pics. So now I can't sleep ... He is but I can't and I don't know what to do next .... All I know is I need to know the truth for myself and my DD. Sorry just needing to rant ....Feeling numb.

Hey, sorry for no message since that dreaded night ... I've been wanting to just feel what I feel myself if u get what I mean even though I really like to have support and advice I needed to be away from it for just a bit. Well the girl he met up with and hid it from me is willing to meet up with me ... She assures me he is telling the truth and nothing has ever happened between them ... Do u think I should meet up with her? I'm leaning towards it to see if it helps in any way ...Either way! I feel like I'm going mad one minute I'm fine the next minute I'm raiding his phone but as u know he deleted messenger, I re installed but couldn't bring anything back. The problem is with his anxiety he finds it hard to open up anyway and he gets himself into such a state when I am talking to him about it and asking questions he says it was wrong what he was doing but has sworn on his mother that he didn't do anything with anyone. I'm just taking it one step at a time hoping to find out more ... Seriously thinking of couples counseling to see if it will help him open up ... It's just the expense of it (gulp). Thank u all for paying attention to my post it's horrible feeling so alone with my emotions it's so good to have some feedback xxx

I wouldn't meet her, what is the point he wasn't only talking to one woman so she can't tell you that he has been faithful, even if he hasn't slept with her.
Maybe you stumbled apon things before he had the chance to go further but from what you've said I would say the intent was there for sure.

OP OPEN YOUR EYES!

Op. So anxious that he's messaging 3 different women inappropriately? Calling one sexy, giving another one gifts etc - it's BS and you've seen it with your own eyes.

SandyY2K · 10/01/2017 22:24

I think it's the desire to keep relationships going that make people believe silly stories in order not to end a relationship.

All this anxiety and he'sconfident enough to be offering massages and gifts. I call pure and utter bull on that one.

It's not the Old Bailey.
He's not on trial for murder
And he's not being sent to death row

^^ Therefore, you don't need a smoking gun or CCTV footage to prove that he's not relationship material.

When you see a dodgy used car, why would you continue with the purchase.

Potnoodlewilld0 · 10/01/2017 22:29

He is lying through his teeth.

If it was innocent he wouldn't have deleted app. OR be calling other women sexy.

op you know he is cheating on you.

Amazing how a man who "suffers from anxiety" would choose to lead such an anxiety-provoking lifestyle. Maybe he doesn't have a disorder, but is just having trouble keeping his lies straight with all the women he's seeing.

Costacoffeeplease · 11/01/2017 07:08

Has he thought that lying and cheating is causing his anxiety

Or his the anxiety a ploy to stop you questioning him too much?

And does it really matter, he's taking you for a fool whatever lies behind it
