His best friend told me he was cheating!

Hello ladies, honest opinions please! It's a long one!

So I've been seeing this guy for an intense 3 months now. I've met his friends, work colleagues and brother, he has also mentioned me to his mum and wants me to meet her. Before now I've trusted him with everything even when he's gone out to the club with his single friends as I've had no reasons to doubt him until now....

The whole of Wednesday and Thursday we spent quality time together before the manic time of Xmas comes along! Nothing seemed out of the ordinary when he left for work in a bar.

After work he stayed for a few drinks with his roommate and younger brother. Until I went to sleep at 12 he was quickly replying and telling me what was going on including the fact that his best friend, who struggles with mental health and a drinking problem, took a girl back upstairs to their flat prematurely.

I was woken in the night and checked my phone to find a messenger message from his best friend saying that 'your partner is currently cheating on you thought you should know I can't stand it he's my g but'.

This sent me into complete confusion and after finally getting through to him at 7 am he explained that his brother and him started talking to some old school friends (who were apparently lesbians) and invited them both back upstairs and those were the voices his best friend would've heard and he told me he didn't cheat.
He went to speak to his mate and didn't reassure me or see how I was until I rang him at 12 to see what the deal was.

I had a reply from his best friend later in the day apologising saying he doesn't remember sending me the message or searching me on Facebook.

I don't know who to believe. My partner - who only told me about the girls once I pressed him on why his friend would've thought that. Or his friend - who went through all the effort to let me know when he was with another woman.

Did my partner tell his best friend to deny everything or is my partner telling the truth?

It's likely they brought the girls back you're precious dp got the girl his mate wanted so he messaged you and told you! It doesnt take a genius to work it out op you would be a fool to accept what nonsense he comes up with.

At 3 months in I'd walk away from this drama before you get more involved. It's only been 12 weeks. You will be always wondering what the truth is. It's no way to start a relationship.

Leave before you invest real emotion in this.

Of course he cheated.
He got his friend to backtrack.
It's so very obvious!

3 months? You barely know him. He is not your "partner". Where there's smoke etc... Get rid.

Save yourself some time & heartbreak & walk away. I mean, the lesbian excuse, really? Surely no one would fall for that one.

They were lesbians? Yeah right.

I agree with the scenario several pps have said - Your guy pulled and the friend didn’t like it so messaged you and had to backtrack when your bf confronted him.

Definitely walk away.

I don't think it matters whether or not he cheated. What matters is that this sounds like an EastEnders episode, with repercussions which will come to bite everyone in the arse a couple of days hence (the Christmas episode where your BF and his friend have a stand up fight over who told who what when and whether they were drunk or not). Too many 'girls being taken home for drinks' and 'friends going upstairs with women' for it to be healthy.

Bin him off. Go and find someone from a quieter soap. Father Brown, maybe.
