Online dating sites-What??

Hello all. I just wanted to see how other people felt about this. One day I looked at my boyfriend emails. I know I shouldn't have invaded his privacy, but at the time I wanted reassurance that I didn't have anything to worry about. I have some major self esteem issues. Anyway, I found some emails to a woman in which he talked about hoping one day they could be more than friends...I also found out that he had met her (and her sister) one evening (while we were together), but based on the emails it never went any further. I confronted him about some of the things I saw and he told me that they had met before he had met me and that from the start she said she only wanted to be friends. He said it was just joking between them about becoming more than friends. After I told him what I read (I didn't even tell him I knew they had seen each other), he told her the situation and assured me that he wouldn't continue even talking to her. He told me that she was way out of his league from the time they met (before me). He apoligized for not telling me about her, and I accepted his apology. This was last fall and I don't know how (or if I should) to stop dwelling on this. I have checked his mail recently and have found nothing out of order. One final note: he still has his favorites folders on the side of his screen and still has a dating folder with dating sites (I have said nothing-yet). Any advice on how to get past this or other advice would be greatly appreciated!

First question, How old are you? Why do you think that it is ok to look through someone's private emails? Do you think that he should still trust you? To be honest, you are the type of female that men run from quickly! My advice is to make up in your mind that you will either be with the guy as he is or break it off. If you don't do this, your mind will lead you in all kinds of crazy directions. Yes, you do seem to have self esteem issues. When you have a low self esteem, you don't give yourself enough value. This results in you taking the first person person that comes your way; because naturally you believe that that is the best that you can do. I would say that your first goal is to work on becoming a better you and then find someone that you can trust. If you tell me that you are a teenager, than I say just enjoy some good times and don't even worry about things, because in most cases this person will not be your further mate.

hey leave him, that's all i can say.. if he didnt tell you from all that time then you can not trust him. so i would suggest you leave him because before he cheats on you.

I think it is better not to read too much on dating sites. These sites are just trying to make money and attract people. You will be surprised that they have hired people who writ fake emails on behalf of girls and boys and claim to be different persons. Actually just one person may be writing all of these emails.
