Is it harder to trust when you're in an LDR?
He's 31, I'm 32, we are 4 hrs apart and talk all the time, and see ea other every weekend.
We started off sorta rocky, and not sure when we really began our relationship.
But I'm having serious trust issues, and I'm not sure if they are all in my head or not. How can I tell?
My bf liked to talk to women online, like a lot, and even did it when he was with his ex. One of the girls he did it with, they ended up going out a few times, and making out once. Supposedly that was all because that's all he wanted to do.
And after we were together, and he professed his love to me...
I found out he still talked to her, and she had offered sex to him a couple times, and who knows what else they talked about. She invited him to go to a show, he refused, and when I asked why( i thought it was a different person than her he was talking about) he said "because I'm pretty sure she wants to jump my bones"
I lost it. Why was he even talking to someone who he knows wants that from him? He supposedly loves me?
What about all these other girls he talks to online? how does he talk to them?
I got mad and said,
"I know how you are with girls, and I just don't know if I can live with that"
After I got mad, he got mad and defensive back, saying that I was assuming he had all these other girls and was talking to them in that way. Ok, so I didn't ask him first about all his other women, but I did know his past(he cheated on his ex), and this girl and 3 others for sure.
He's told me many times that most of his friends are girls. He talks to other female friends regularly. Who knows about what anymore. He used to tell me what they talked about, but now that he knows I got jealous, he never tells me anything anymore. I hate that, I hate that he can't talk to me, and I hate that if I bring it up, he gets pissed at me, and doesn't want to even talk about it!!
He then tells me he deleted everyone on his IM list...
Now I find out that he likes to stare really hard at other women when we are out together. He never did that before, not to this extent anyway. And its so bad, its like every girl. Especially the ones that look about 16-20, Ewwww!!
I tried bringing this up with him too, and he totally denies it, of course, and says I should ask him if I think I see him staring, "are you staring at her?"
Well what am i blind??? He is staring, and it would be impossible to ask him that many times at once, lol. IT's insane and degrading, and I'm having serious serious doubts about this relationship.
Aside from all that, he is a loving, funny, smart, adorable man. He loves me to pieces, and in ways I've never felt appreciated for before. He wants to talk to me all the time and comes to visit every weekend. I have 3 kids, and he is willing to provide for us all, and wants one of his own too.
He's a very attractive man, 6' 3", dark hair the best eyes ever, just think superman... and I'm really worried about women throwing themselves at him and him not resisting.
He says he'll stick by me thru thick and thin, and had never met anyone like me before, and all that, but is it just a line?
How can I tell if this is for real?
I don't want to get hurt and embarressed, or get married then get cheated on and have to leave in 2-3 yrs, or worse in 10 yrs with 4 kids!!!!! Ugh!
But also, if this is for real, I don't want to throw away the best friend, love, I've ever had, just because of immature jealousy....
I know some of this jealousy has to do with the LDR, and I'm a very jealous female as it is...but I don't know what to do or think of it all...
