Dear Miss Emily:
Okay, so like three days ago my boyfriend and I got in a little fight and broke up. That night, he was messaging girls giving them his number and stuff, and before I found out about that we got back together. Well, the next day I got on his Facebook account and he had a message from a girl saying "I have a bf ok" I asked him about it and he said it was his friend joking around. I believed him until she messaged me on my account and forwarded everything to me. My boyfriend then said he was sorry and thought that we broke up for good. Wel,l then, the next day he got a message from yet another girl and it said "you can text me" me and my boyfriend then talked about that and they were both from the night we broke up. I messaged the one girl off his account and was like "have you been texting me" and she said "no" and I'm like "well erase my number" and she's like "I don't have it because I dont know you" and I'm like "well first you say to text you and now you say you don't have my number what's up with that?" and she's like "I don't know you now quite talking to me" idk what to do or to believe him :( What do I do? Like it takes him fierce to text me back sometimes. Do you think he's texting other girls behind my back? This morning, right when he got up, he called me and we talked for like twenty minutes and then he said "babe can I get off to eat" and hen I let him off he didn't text me for like twenty minutes and he always text me when he's eating. I mean, if he wasn't cheating he wouldn't waste his time tellig me he's not cheating and saying how much he wants only me right? HELP ME! :(

It appears your boyfriend was hedging his bets. You and he broke up, and he thought it was a good idea to scout out other prospects. He may care for you, but not in the way you want. I don't know what the "quickie" breakup was all about, but it doesn't seem as if you and your boyfriend have a deep enough bond, or the maturity to settle petty differences without something like this happening. I'd think long and hard on whether this relationship is even worth the effort of not trusting him, while hanging in there until something major occurs to break up completely. He lied to you about his actions, you felt you had to explore them in depth -- and now you're going to watch his every move. Doesn't seem like fun to me! Perhaps one root of the problem is that he's too gutless to tell you he thinks you're controlling. If that's the case, it's a shame he doesn't have the courage to lay the cards on the table. It makes his life more complicated because he sneaks and lies -- and you, ultimately, don't respect, nor trust him.
