Is he cheating

Soo a bit of backstory.. been with my partner 3 years and have an almost 2 year old together. Around feb last year I saw he was texting an ex - just under a month after I gave birth to our baby. In that time he’s gone though my phone multiple times when I’m sleeping - not ever found anything apart from me moaning about him to my mum.
then It might seem petty to some but I then caught him liking girls photos online - asked him about it always an excuse and really lame like she requested to follow me so I wanted to know who she was LOL. Fast forward this year hiding his phone, not calling or texting as he normally would and also out for hours or even days on end with little to no warning. Recently found him again liking girls photos online and asked to see his phone just to ease my worries and he’s flat out said no. Just Sunday I saw over his shoulder he was sending kissing emojis to an unsaved number on what’s app straight away I asked him about it and asked to see his phone he said no again and said that then I’m gonna make it a habit of wanting to look through it. And that I should just trust him. Am I being unreasonable?

Yes it does sound like he’s cheating, he’s certainly fishing for other women. He sounds utterly unsafe for you as a partner.

And as for monitoring your phone when you sleep that’s just controlling and down right creepy.

TBH he sounds awful. What on earth do you see in this man?

So he us obviously not interested in a monogamous relationship with you. He thinks he can play around but wants to make sure you don't.
Why are you still with this disgusting man?

Yes, I would assume he’s cheating.

Run !

GarrynotsoGorilla · 06/11/2024 07:44

Sorry, that behaviour is that if someone who is either cheating or will as soon as he gets chance. Move on from him. So sorry you have experienced this

You had a baby too soon with someone who isn't safe and doesn't love you. It's no use needing to go through someone's phone.

What are you thinking about doing next??

He is a cheating bastard and you will separate from him sooner rather than later either by your choice or his. I think it's much better to take control than wait for him to do so.

You’ve been together three years and have a child who’s nearly two? It sounds to me like this is a relationship that has continued through “necessity” and not through love/respect/choice. I think this relationship would have fizzled out long ago if not for the child.

You know he’s cheating. What are you going to do about it?

mamajong · 06/11/2024 08:48

It's shady behaviour, you need to decide if this is something you're prepared to tolerate or not

BunsenBurnerBaby · 06/11/2024 08:50

Cheat or no, this relationship has no trust or respect and you need to find a way to get out.

Agree with this. You can’t turn back time OP but you had a child with a man you barely knew and now he’s showing you the reality of who he actually is.

This won’t get better. Hrs a lying controlling cheat.

It does sound like he is cheating or looking to sorry to say.

Do you and this boyfriend live togther? Either way you need an urgent STI screen. You clearly didn't know him at all when you wanted a child with him and don't really know what he's capable of.

Please don't say the house and everything is in your boyfriend's name if you live together or are considering it.
