Well the guy I have been living with for the past almost 5 years, says he loves me right. Yet he has a friend that is 'in love' with him. He still talks to her, saying he wants to be just friends. But I know he has feelings for her in someway, even though he reassures me he doesn't. They have a very close relationship. And sometimes I get the feeling that he would rather be with her. But he said if he did he would. Am I being parinoid or do I have a reason to fear this women and what could happen between them? Or should I just trust in love hope she will go away or finnaly believe he is right for me and not her.:(

My advice? Get a boob job. He'll never leave.

That was a typical example of 'male advise' , Axhinde. I don't think that was the advice she needed. I on the other hand can't give you any advice either whichway, but that is because I was never good at my relationships either and don't want to screw anyone else up. I would say trust in love, but you never know.Which is why I think you are having doubts. All I can say is best of luck.

I don't think that's a question that someone else can answer for you. Talk it out with yourself. ;)

I don't think it was, either. Typical male advice? Feminist.

I'd take your man's word for it, as building suspicions over something that may very well not be there can create problems of their own. Don't dwell on it, trust your guy until you find evidence of him cheating. Other than that, not much to advise on.

You've been living with him for five years and you're not sure? How old are you two?

My boyfriend is one of my best friends. Whenever he was in a relationship, though I adore the hell out of him, I respected his relationships. I know he'd do the same for me.

If this woman can't respect your relationship with your man, she is not his friend. I wouldn't worry about it.

mid 20's to answer your question Warrior.
And lets say I have found some evidence that is why I believe he may like her more then a friend. I even asked him about and he said he was trying to somewhat make her feel good. What would be your advise to me ?

Why be greedy? Threesomes can be hot.

Or start taking it in the butt.

One of the two will keep him for sure.

You're not married...clearly there's some sort of lack of depth there/you dislike marriage. Arkans' suggestions might be solid.

Alternately, be direct with him. If he's evasive, you don't want to fall prey to the "sunk cost fallacy" you want to get out of there while you're still attractive and there's other men out there. It's much easier for a moderately attractive girl to find a partner than a guy. Even if you're not attractive or even nice you can probably find a partner.

If she doesn't have a computer, how did she find email evidence? :?: And if she saw it on his computer, then there's already a trust problem, thus rendering the relationship useless.

He wants to remain friends with her. Now there is the kicker. The other kicker is the fact that you are aware that she is in love with him and he WANTS to remain friends with her. That has to feel uncomfortable to you to some degree. I know, I know... she should trust her man, right? Not always. Go with your GUT instinct. Act on it. Don't go off of your emotions. You need to look at the situation logically. If you have any amount of proof that he has feelings for her or has acted on them and he has told you differently then you need to trust yourself. More than likely it's true that he does. It's at that point you have to decide what you want to do about it.

If this girl isn't respecting boundries, and if he is saying things like, "If I want to be with her I would be." Warning sirens would be going off in my head. Personally, there isn't much you can do other than

1. Bail because of insecurities (which is something I would most likely do.)

2. Wait it out and see if your trust in him is enough. Though you might be pushing him away with your insecurities, but I can't really say that, as I don't know you, or your relationship.

This is a little silly, sorry to say.

If you don't know someone after five years, you never will. I've been with my husband (from when we first started dating) for around five total years now, and though there are still new and fun things to discover about each other, I know I can trust him. If I couldn't... why in the hell would I still be here?

I realize a dating relationship is not the same as a marriage, but if he doesn't care enough about your feelings to ease your discomfort, ditch him. But I want to know - what did the emails say? Call me curious.

If you're that much in doubt, to the point you hang onto old emails and still aren't sure, but won't confront him seriously with it all, just leave, start over with someone else, it's only 5 years, Or stop being paranoid, let it go and try to act like you're happy in your situation. Another option is to become a swinger and invite her over for a wild party involving lots of alcohol and porn.... BTW after you go the third path you can't go back in that relationship, it just won't work.

Well. Lets put it this way. If you can trust him, then you should not have to worry one bit. However, he should be respectful of your feelings and not deal with her.

I would let him know that you do not feel comfortable with him being friends with this woman. If he can respect that, and put some distance between this other person, then I would say you have nothing to worry about.

If he says "don't worry" and dismisses your feelings, without trying to be understanding, then he is really not the one you should be with.

yup yup, if someone I had been dating for 5 years felt the need to go through my shit to find things out, then she more than likely has mental problems.

The reason she's probably still around is because she loves anal.

Or he is really good at hiding things and she's extinguished all other options.

I was trying to be subtle earlier but seriously, you need to move on. Your fears are more than likely true and if you have to go to those depths to find out he's lying to you about his emotional relationship with this woman then you are in store for some hard times ahead with this guy.

In the words of one of my ex-girlfriends, emotional infedelity is worse than physical infedelity to a large extent.

Truth. But we haven't seen the emails, so we don't have evidence of the emotional infidelity really. What one person considers infidelity, another may consider harmless flirting. FWIW, I don't care of my boyfriend flirts, as long as I'm on the end of it. My boyfriend doesn't care if I flirt because he knows I don't want anyone else.

There are definitely some trust issues here though, and I don't think they're entirely with the guy, judging from the fact that his girlfriend was reading his emails looking for dirt.

I don't understand this need to read other peoples' emails. I mean, what the hell is THAT all about? Are you looking to get your ass kicked? If you don't trust someone, move on. Don't go looking for ways to beat yourself up! ::weird:
