Girls and guys, I need some advice on what to do.
So ive been with this guy for 3 years, I'm 19 and he's 22. The relationship has had its ups and downs like any relationship does. No matter what however, we always made eachother happy in the end and we always look out for eachother and support eachother through every aspect of life. I really couldn't have survived my first semester of uni without him.
But anyway, to the point. About 2 weeks ago I found out he lied to me. Around a year ago I found a dating profile which had all of his details and up to date photos of him on it. I confronted him at the time however he said it didn't belong to him, his crazy ex must have made it to cause problems (we've had a few issues with her). Something didn't add up with it but I let it go, gave him the benefit of the doubt and trusted him. But 2 weeks ago I found out he had been contacted by a girl I know on the dating profile and it was definitley him who replied on it. So I confronted him once again, this time he told me the truth. That
he had made it on an app out of boredom with no intention of really using it and that he had forgotten about it until he looked at his old email and seen emails about messages on it and replied thinking it was me trying to catch him out (that turned into a whole other argument). He apologised and deleted the profile.
However now I feel that I can't trust him and I'm not sure I really believe his explanation. As it doesn't explain why he lied to me about it in the first place. It was also made while we've been together.
Im honestly at a loss on what to do. He's been my constant companion and best friend that last 3 years as well as my boyfriend, he's the one i always turn to. But now I feel that that's all in shatters.
I guess im just looking for some advice on what to do. And if anyone has been in a similar situation or what you would do if you were.
Sorry the post is so long
