Am I seeing things?

I posted last week about me and my DP. We've not been getting on the best - not really arguing just there being more of an atmosphere. I spoke to him on Friday night and said our relationship was starting to feel more like living with a friend than a partner e.g. He doesn't really greet me when he gets home, no hugs, kisses etc. Yesterday we had a lovely day together, lunch out, a nice long walk with his mum and partner and then tea with my parents and kids yesterday evening. It was a lovely day. So.. we were upstairs last night and I came downstairs first. My p's Facebook was logged into my laptop where I'd asked him to log in the night before so that I could print some pics off ready for his birthday. I opened the lid and a conversation he'd had with another woman came up. She's 22, they are friends apparently, although I did corner him a few weeks back when I noticed a text from her saying is myself with you? If she is I'll text later. I was suspicious but p said that friend just didn't want to be a pain. P has always been negative about this friends boyfriend, has messaged her before saying to dump him and that p cares about her etc. They've been chatting loads over the last few weeks. Anyway. The message I saw last night was p telling friend me and him had a chat the night before and that I'd said it felt like friends ATM and he'd agreed, even though he hadn't. She'd asked what he was going to do and would the relationship last and well I can't remember the rest cause I just panicked. If they're friends genuinely then fine I suppose he was just talking to a friend BUT when he came downstairs I confronted him about discussing our relationship with this girl and told him to look at the screen. He said there was nothing there and there wasn't, the conversation has completely disappeared. He completely denied having written it and said there was no way I could have seen that. I feel like I'm going mad, I'm questioning now whether I imagined it. We argued for ages and it eventually ended with me apologising, as I normally do. He did the whole my chest is killing me, deep breathing thing. This morning however he'd obviously messaged her in the night as she'd written 'what did she see?' And then 'yes you can text me instead as I don't have what's app'. He'd already left for work and this time I sent him pics of what I'd seen but he's still adamant that what I saw last night wasn't real. He maintains that they are just friends and that he hasn't discussed our relationship with her. Meanwhile I'm ready to go yesterday the Drs cause I think I'm going crazy. My ex used to do this kind of thing, say I hadn't seen something and then argue it with me and my p keeps saying 'I'm not like ex'. I don't know what I hope to achieve from this but I just needed to get it down. I feel like being gone to be honest, I love p to bits but I just don't know what's going on.

I feel like such a twat. They're definitely not having a physical affair but he's told her she looks stunning in a fb pic and that he loves her for having text him first on his birthday. I tried really hard to make sure he had a good birthday and I've booked a huge party for him for next weekend and I feel like I've been blind and stupid. I've also found evidence that he definitely lied to me about seeing the original message

He's the twat. Bin him off.

He loves her first for a fucking crappy text when you've done all that?

That's handy op, he can read that text over and over instead of the nice party you had planned for him

If he hasn't shagged her already, he wants to and probably would given the first opportunity.

I want to jump in my computer and give you a shake! You are fighting a losing battle here OP. Find your dignity and self respect. Leave him, throw him out, bin him...just stop jumping through hoops trying to 'win' this 'prize'.

You'll send yourself mad and it is so clear to us that he's not worth all this angst. He's enjoying attention from a young girl because he's a twat and doesn't respect what he has with you. Your relationship is so off-kilter that you feel it's your fault, and your place on this earth is to make him happy, You must see how wrong all this is. Get shot of him.

Thank you so much for all your replies. They actually made me smile a bit! I text him earlier and asked him about the original message where he'd told her about the conversation we'd had. He still denies it! He's lied x 3 now... I have a 3000 word assignment due into uni tomorrow and that's after an extension. I have 1500 words left and I'm quite drunk. I've supported him financially at uni since September to my own detriment. How dare he lie to me! I've just put my dd to bed. I've sent my two boys up my parents tonight so they don't have to listen to us. He told me they would section me when I asked him to ring a dr when I thought I'd seen the first message! He made me think I was mentally unstable! I've got three kids - twat!!! I'm going to have it out with him in a bit. I've been at two friends houses this evening and they're fuming. Is it acceptable for him to say 'I wish I could see you this week'?, 'I love you for that'. 'You look stunning in that picture', WTF!!! Sorry I'm ranting but I've given up a whole year of my life YET AGAIN on an absolute user

You are right to be angry but you need to calm down, stop drinking and do your uni work. Don't let him fuck up your degree.
