I have been exclusive with my live in boyfriend. since this summer.
at least 6 mos. he still had is online dating profile up. that is down but he's still on myspace which he says he uses for playing games and music.... and finally admitted he emails some people that live in other states. he;s not on there when i am home because i react....
i did have a keylogging program on before when he was online dating. and he has lied to me.
i know he's not having sex with anyone but i know he chats online with other women. and gets texts. one time the name said "kim" on his phone. he was out of the room and i said you got a phone call or text. he said it was a text from the lottery about some numbers. but he could tell on my face that i knew he was lying and he said it was an old friend and he didnt want to say it was because he's afraid i would overreact. he hasnt told me that he loves me. but says that takes time to say that. he says i am special to him and that he cares for me....
my brother says i know in my heart that something is wrong.
but some of my friends say i am overreacting. and that i am just too jealous. please let me know what you all think.
i am 46. he is 38. we live in my house.

Gee, sounds similar to what happened to me, in a way.  My husband is 12 yrs younger than me, was living in my house, and had a secret Myspace where he communicated with three past ho tramp girlfriends, not extensively, but I found out about it accidently.  The proverbial stuffing hit the fan, I was so ticked.

The difference is that he verbalized that he loved me and he wasn't actively seeking out new hos..  I wouldn't let a guy live with me in my house if he couldn't spit out the words I love you.  I think you should show him some teeth and kick him out, saying you deserve better. If he doesn't come back saying sorry, that tells you something, and if he does come back saying I love you, that tells you something too.  Win win as I see it.

As a friend told me, you can be a dormat made of diamonds, but if you let yourself be treated like a doormat, people will still step on you...

What does he talk about with these women? Personally, I feel there is nothing wrong with guys having female friends so unless the content of his conversations with these women is inappropriate or if his contact with them is very excessive, I do think you're overreacting. No, he shouldn't lie to you but if you are overreacting, it's not surprising he tries to take the easy route and just lie. It does sound like you're trying to control who he speaks to and that is not healthy.

If he can't say I love you, why are you living with him? For me the amount of time you have been together, he should be able to say I love you. That's lame that he says it takes time. In my eyes it means he clearly doesn't love you.

From the begining he has lied to you. If women are texting him and he is lying about who they are, then there is an issue. If they are just friends and there is nothing to worry about then he should be able to tell who you is texting him, when you ask, with no hesitation.

I think it's ok for a man to have female friends but for me, I wouldn't tolerate secretive texting, lying about who is calling or texting and chatting with other females on-line I don' t know. That's my personal preference.

It sounds to me like you have a gut feeling and you already know what's up. You need to decide if this is how you want to live. It's easy for oters to say your over reacting, but you have to go by what makes you feel uncomfortable, not on what others have to say about it.

Last nite I told him I looked at myspace. but didnt go into what I saw. I left the room and we didnt speak much he could tell I was mad.
this morning I left for work and came back home, forgetting something.
he was off today. of course, the computer was on and he was on myspace.
I told him the reason i was upset, was that someone left "i love you" comments everyday on his page...
he said that she sends them to everyone, that its not what it looks like. just one friend saying i love you to another....
she lives in another state. and they would never meet.
he asked if he had to leave. and i said it was up to him. if he didnt want a relationship or not. because i could no longer waste my time and energy into something that will never be...
he accused me of spying on him. i told him i wouldnt do it anymore but the reason i dont trust him is because he's lied to me in the past.
he said he still cant say he loves me but he cares for me more everyday. and that i am beautiful...
he said that everytime he's said he loves someone. he gets his heart stepped on and crushed.
so for now he's staying, but i dont know how much longer....
before he moved in i was dating quite a bit. and meeting more new people.
i dont care if he has female friends on myspace. its the "i love you" comments that got me. everyone sends the kisses and hugs. thats no big deal. or the sexy comments. but like i told him if i was sending a certain man "i Love you" art every day.... he might get the wrong idea. i asked him if he asked any of them to send pics to his phone and he said no. but i knew that was a lie.. because i saw where he made a comment on one of her pics that he wished that pic was on his phone.
i really wish he would just leave on his own and do the right thing if he doesnt love me. its hard for me to put him out in the cold...
we'll see what happens next. he is always home every nite with me and is good to me.
