How to get him to admit cheating

[Mumeries]

the other month my boyfriend and I were fighting and on the verge of breaking up. a friend who was there and didn’t know I was listening mentioned a woman’s name and I can’t remember exactly what was said but it was in the context that my boyfriend should be with them and my boyfriend didn’t disagree and I remember not liking their response but I didn’t feel I was in a position to confront at the time and ever since I wanted to keep the peace as much as possible.
He has been distant ever since and I was lying in bed when the woman’s name suddenly came to mind. I just tried to break up with him because of it and he has said I have no proof. So how can I get proof/admission, I’ll never get him to admit anything

If you want to break up with him, just break up with him. It’s irrelevant whether you have any proof.

I just tried to break up with him because of it and he has said I have no proof. what. This isn't a court of law. You don't need proof. It's not a criminal investigation. Just ditch the bloke.

Literally what the others have said. You don’t need a reason to break up.
”I want to break up with him” is reason enough.

You sound quite young …. Just get rid! Plenty more fish and all that. Wish I had listened to that advice when young, free - and beautiful!!!

As others have said, why the hell would you need proof? He sounds a prat.

Just dump him.

Why do you think you need proof if what you want is to end the relationship?

Just end it. I'm not happy and I don't want to be with you any more.

You don't need evidence or his agreement

Jesus fucking wept.

The maturity levels are astounding.

Lose him and work on your own self.

End it. No need to prolong a relationship that isn't working.

What? You don't need proof to break up with him.

I once asked a serial philanderer how they got away with it, and the reply was deny it. Repeatedly. No matter what anyone said, just deny it, and they let you get away with it because 'they have no proof'. Even if they walk in on you, deny it. It's not what you think. I was being a friend. Yadda yadda. Anyway, the point being, what everyone else said. You don't need proof.

If you find yourself casting around for proof, your suspicions are raised enough - trust yourself, just bin it off.

I agree with pp that you don’t need proof to break up with him.

His comment that you don’t have proof pretty much sounds like an admission to me though. If he hadn’t done it, surely he’d tell you that, not just say you don’t have proof. Get rid of him.

New boyfriend and new friend needed. And not dating until you are sure enough of yourself to speak up if something does not feel right.

hire a private detective ?

You don't know that there's anything for him to admit, do you?

You can still break up though!

Did he say how he knew her? Could they of been talking about an ex or a crush, the friend sounds like an idiot and your bf should of respected you by not going along with it. Don't keep yourself around these people that don't show you any respect.
You are trying to break up with him because you know it doesn't feel right.

Whether or not he cheated is neither here nor there. You aren't happy in the relationship so end it if you want to.

“Why do you think you need proof if what you want is to end the relationship?

Just end it. I'm not happy and I don't want to be with you any more.

You don't need evidence or his agreement”

This.

Walk away. You are not on trial.

It really doesn't matter whether or not he has cheated, he obviously isn't what you want, and his friend clearly has no respect for your relationship either so stay well away from those people.

Proof?? Listen to yourself…. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, you don’t need someone else to tell you or prove to you it’s a duck!!!

You’re smarter than that, it’s obviously a duck….dump him, you don’t need proof. Go and be happy.

you don't need proof. Just tell him to leave.

this is not a good relationship. It is very unstable.

this person is not your friend.
