Relationships

boyfriend obsessed with texting dirty to other women

Ive been with my boyfriend for just over a year now, i have never felt insecure in any of my past relationships but i always felt anxious with him for some reason (i think because he is so chatty and such a likeable person). But i caught him taking my name out of his relationship status on facebook and so i started questioning a whole lot more.. turns out he had messaged a few women on instagram direct sexually.. i raised it with him and was absolutely broken and he begged and begged for me back.. i had never seen such a broken man before, he was on his knees pleading for me to forgive him. I forgave him. He was making all the right changes and i thought things were going well.. but 2 weeks later a lady on facebook messaged me saying my boyfriend was messaging her on tinder sexually talking about her playing with herself and him also. He asked for her snapchat and he sent pictures of his downstairs region.
I had lost the plot at this point.. i raised it with him and he denied all the way, then finally after i told him i had proof of it, he finally admitted it. Again hes crying begging for me back. Weve not been together for two months but ive started texting him again. My heart just cant leave him. My dilemma is should i take him back again? Its hard because when its written down like this, its a bit black and white like yes leave the dick. But I am so in love with this boy and he has done so so much for me, we have so much history. Also does this really count as cheating? Im taking it as if he has slept with another woman but he hasnt. Hes admitted to me that before me, hed never been in a proper relationship, and when he texts other women on tinder its literally for 10 minutes whilst he plays with himself basically and then theyre deleted. Hes not interested in any other relationship. He says its like people who are addicted to pornography, he's always done it and is trying so hard to break it. We only get to see eachother twice a week and i refuse to talk sexually or send him pictures or anything over the phone so i suppose hes looking elsewhere to satisfy himself. Im not making excuses as such or being naive, i just really love him and want him in my life, so is it worth taking him back? And if so, how can i stop being so anxious and insecure in the relationship? Thanks girls. :)

Ah, seen the end of the thread. You did come to your senses and leave him? Good. Don't ever let your standards drop that low again.

Classy 😳

I would sack that off immediately because someone who conducts themself like that is a fucking embarrassment and is of absolutely zero use to me!!

Listen OP if you want to accept that life for yourself then do so but at least be honest with yourself about what you're letting yourself in for.

All I'm seeing when I read this post is a dog humping any legs it can latch on to.

They're called crocodile tears op, broken my arse.

how can i stop being so anxious and insecure in the relationship?

You aren't the issue. You aren't anxious or insecure. You're in a relationship with a total douchebag and you are responding in an appropriate way to someone who's partner is shagging about.

Get rid of him, stop all contact and you'll be fine.

It's called instinct & intuition. Yours is spot on - but you aren't listening to it, you're covering your eyes a d shouting lalala and doing everything you can to silence it.

It's because youve spent lots of time with him and been having sex with him and caught feelings for him etc. Oxytocin is a bitch.

You can uncatch the feelings and recover and move in if you let yourself. It will be painful at first but will get easier.

Sorry, posted before saw your update - good.

He was contacting other women in a sexual way via Instagram while with you .. you gave him another chance due to the above and the quality of his begging performance (sounded quite impressive) and what did he do with his second chance? Onto another platform (that he thought you wouldn't catch him on, and you wouldn't have if a woman hadn't gone out of her way to contact you and let you know what he was doing) ..... There's no point. Unless you want to give him a third, fourth etc chance.

As for using sex talk with other women on tinder to wank to .. well faithful men manage to do that with their gf, or use some porn (some people find porn unacceptable but there a while other subject) or use their imagination. So why does he get a pass to sext other women?

Do you get a pass to sext other men?
I'm guessing not.

Even if you did, most normal people who like and care about and are attracted to their partner don't want to sext other people and exchange pics with them.

Have some self respect and leave the vile little fucker to his disgusting behaviour. Maybe look into some counselling to help you see that you’re worth more than this and that being alone is better than being with someone so repulsive and immoral.

Put aside his unfaithful behaviour-he clearly has zero respect for women and his treatment of them is stomach churning. Imagine having a daughter with this bloke one day.

I think you can find a man who doesn't "have to" contact other women when he's having a wank.

He's a disgusting dickhead. He doesn't love you, he just cares about having a wank.

He's been unfaithful to you multiple time's - where's your self respect?? Block him and move on!

You might find it useful to do the Freedom Programme so you n raise your bar and boundaries for future relationships so you don't put up with this shit again...

He is disgusting and a user. Why would you put up with this creeps behaviour? He is telling you what he thinks of women. Believe him.
Dump his ass and find someone who doesnt see women as purely wank fodder.

Try picturing your life with someone who loves you instead of that tosser. Now that's something to imagine.

For anyone who didn't see my update - Not sure why this thread is alive again haha, this was a year ago now. I read back at this post and cringe at how naive I really were Still I only managed to proper rid of him 6 months ago and it's still a fight to this day to keep him away. I couldn't understand what everyone was saying on this thread and I felt like I were being attacked. Only after counselling and actually leaving him properly that I understood and completely agreed with every comment on this thread! I were manipulated and controlled in every way what on earth was going through my brain!!
