My boyfriend and I live about 3 hours away from eachother but we have made the effort to make this long distance relationship work for two and half years. We have a deep connection and we've talked about taking the next step after we are both done school. He is 25 and I am 27.
Last weekend he screwed up big time but it wasn't until I brought it up that he admitted to it. Last friday he said he was going out with his friend Matt... he text me throughout the night saying sweet things and when I asked if he was having fun he said "I think so". He called me when he was walking home and all of a sudden his phone cut out and I couldn't get a hold of him for a about an hour. I was more worried than anything and when he finally called back he said that he went back in to look for his friend but his friend had gone to another location blah blah blah. I knew it was complete bs.
I waited until the next time we saw eachother to ask him about it in person (1 week later) and I also looked at his phone to confirm my suspicion. There was a text message from Charlene, a girl whom I've heard of because he has told me she was a nerdy friend in his petroleum classes, telling him to bring beer to this house party she was at.
Long story short... he lied to me about where he was going and who he was going to be with. He said he made the decision to lie when he was drunk and stupid.
I don't believe that he cheated on me but then again I don't know why he would lie. Maybe it was just an innocent mistake...I don't know what to do. We talked about it and he said he was truly sorry and that it would never happen again. Would he have apologized if I had not brought it up? Has this happened before? So many questions but I will never know the answers to them. I just don't know if this is enough to break us up. I am so sad. What does this mean? He is the last person I would ave expected this from

Well, people are always sorry when they've been caught. Your intuition is right... he lied to you and it doesn't matter if he made the decision drunk or sober. If he was drunk and it really is the alcohol's fault, he'd give up alcohol to make it right. But he's not worried about making it up to you... he's holding back information and disappearing into some girl's house in the middle of the night. I know there was a reason he turned his phone off for that hour and so do you. I'd say that is enough to back off the relationship a little. See if he starts putting in more effort to see you. Sometimes guys want out but they're afraid to break things off without something else lined up. I hate to say it like that, but I think there's a pretty good chance your boyfriend is up to no good. It's not 100% certain, but what do you think he would have done if you did the same to him?
1Always trust your instincts These are all red flags in my opinion:
Lying about who he was with and where he was
2Not admitting to the lies until he was actually asked
Mysteriously cutting off all communication so you could not reach him
Text message from a so called" nerdy girl " named Charlene....yeah right.
I'm sorry but his hand was caught in the proverbial cookie jar.
The writing is on the wall
I believe if he had not been approached by you he would not said a word.Now it's up to you to try and get to the truth if it's possible and for the both of you work on this relationship, or let this go.If I were you I'd opt for a new relationship where honesty and respect for your partner was the number one priority .You deserve it. Either way good luck!!!
Well. If it were me. I would be raising questions. A lot of questions. If I decided to forgive I wouldn't let this one down ever. I mean never. Every once in a while, another question would come popping out of my mouth. Until it turned into a heated blown out battle one night. Like a volcano simmering. The reason being this has to be a stand off. It has to serve as a warning to him if he ever comes close to screwing it up again, its over. He needs a warning, and there's only going to be one, or your done with him.
3If it were me? I would cut off communication with this guy and move on....
You deserve a man who treats you better don't you? A guy who calls YOU in the evenings and shares time with YOU. A guy who doesn't turn his phone off for an hour and let you worry about him while he is out doing God knows what?
Woman's intuition is 'real' and don't second guess it - as women have lived by it for centuries.
