Caught my boyfriend cheating with men

65 replies

So last night I caught my boyfriend of 7 years cheating, again. This time with men. As far as I knew he was 100% straight. He left me last year for another woman for example, never known him to watch gay porn and is very woman obsessed sexually, loves bums, boobs etc. always chatting up the women. A proper lads lad and ladies man. I am a little taken back of course but I’m not angry. He’s my best friend and still will be no matter what. The reason I bring myself here is because 1. I have nobody I can tell that I can trust with this 2. I want to know, do I confront him? Or do I wait for him to come out and tell me when he decides what he wants? I have a brother who is gay so I know how sensitive the subject can be.

Oh dear. If you are looking for 'evidence' that he hasn't cheated (again) then I don't think you'll find it.

Very accurate.

And they've always been 'hacked'.

In an update to my main post, the situation is that I saw a number of gay dating sites in our shared Mac history that was linked up to his iPhone. I then saw on his location that he was at two of the “meet up” points that one of sites recommends on his way home from family, two nights in a row. He says there was traffic and had to go these routes. So I’ve used the word cheating wrongly to be honest. Is it too much of a coincidence? I have confronted him and he’s saying he’s been hacked etc which is quite plausible as he has been getting weird things through on his phone for a number of months. What doesn’t add up is the location… how correct is find “Find My” on iPhone

I'm sorry but they always say they've been hacked. I don't understand why you're not more angry about his past and current cheating. You seem to be passively waiting to see what he chooses to do. Take control of your life. You don't need to be treated like this.

Find my iPhone is actually very accurate.

They've always been hacked. Weird things probably pop up on his phone because the sites he is accessing.

Smartiepants79 · 13/09/2022 08:05

Find my phone is very accurate.
This man is not your friend in any way.
Friends don’t lie to each other.

tsmainsqueeze · 13/09/2022 08:17

My best friend wouldn't treat me like that !
You are in for misery in the long term if you stay with someone who treats you with such contempt .
Get some self respect.

So he's been hacked, and the hacker is accessing gay dating sites where the meetup locations match his whereabouts more than once. Does this sound like the most plausible explanation? Thing is, you may never get solid proof such as a photo of him cheating, you have to weigh up the balance of probability in your own mind.

This.

OP you know he's bullshitting you but to admit that to yourself is too painful at the moment, I think.

You will believe what you want @Ez985 I would say you are being lied to and should leave the relationship but no one will be able to convince you, you have to make your own choices.

Name99 · 13/09/2022 10:08

You woll need to get yourself a full STI test and never have unprotected sex with him again
Get regular tests done for the rest of your relationship.
That's the reality of it if you stay in this relationship
Hes lying, you need to think very carefully about what is actually happening here
Why would a hacker access gay dating sites when they could be draining his bank account.

It doesn't make sense, because it is a lie

Ok, I'm out.

Good luck, you're certainly going to need it as well as the world's biggest reality check.

You are joking surely? Nobody could be this naive.

steeringclear · 13/09/2022 13:12

Before you got to the cheated with a man part I was already wondering why you put up with him at
So last night I caught my boyfriend of 7 years cheating, again.

And then I read

He left me last year for another woman for example,

Why did you let him come back???
And then...
is very woman obsessed sexually, loves bums, boobs etc. always chatting up the women.

But it got worse with..

do I wait for him to come out and tell me when he decides what he wants?

And I decided it had to be a joke, right?

Madamecastafiore · 13/09/2022 13:30

Wow you're nicer than me OP. There's absolutely no way I'd still be best friends with someone who could be infecting me with a virus that could end my life prematurely.

@Ez985

You really need to raise your bar. It's currently laying on the floor.
