Me and my boyfriend have been together for 2 years now. We shared good times and bad times together. And we do love each other so much. He joined this site where in you can create avatars and interact with other avatars too. He find it so enjoying, and he has "girlfriends" there. They came from another country, so there is less chance for them to meet with each other. And he always reminds me that, it was all but an internet romance and nothing more.There is this on particular girl that kept on contacting him through his mobile and keep on posting comments on his facebook. I cant help but be angry at him sometimes, because we share common friends in facebook and they can see what that girl is posting. And what would my friends think about those comments. Am i wrong to get angry at him? Is it ok to get jealous at these stuffs? Is this some form of unfaithfulness? Have you experienced this too? If so, feel welcome to address this situation. Thanks!!

I can understand that you are very insecure when you find your guy talking to other girls. It is also right on your part to be upset as he has committed to you but I suggest you that don't retaliate. You just observe him and see what he does. If you find him innocent then fine otherwise ask him to spend time with you and find that how much he loves you.

because she dont want her man talking to other women makes her insecure? did you read what she wrote, this other woman is stalking her man on FB....just because she loves her guy enough to want ALL of his attention which show me a woman who dont, or a guy for that matter wanting his ladies full attention when they are together...well that dont make she/he insecure...put yourselve in her place...if your woman was spendng more time on the net with other guys and you sitting right there, well would that make you insecure?..honest answer now please...tell me that wouldnt piss you off to know end...ugh i'm sorry but your answer is making me nuts..She can be a very secure woman, she just wants her man to love her the way she loves him and ONLY her...since when is that a crime?...why isnt he sitting there talking to other buddies/guys on line? open your eyes..grrrrrr MEN!!

By the way why I am asking her to spend some time with her guy is because that is the best time she can talk to him about this matter. That is the best time she can ask him whether he is interested in the relationship he has with her or not and take an appropriate decision.

He is unfaithful. If he says that he does not have any feelings towards to that he had before then give him one tight slap and leave him.

Personally I will not share my love with anyone. Not offline or online. The person who will be with me will strictly be with me. See what will happen next is that if you think it is okay that your boyfriend do this online. What do you suppose he could be doing offline. It is a vicious cycle that unless you are not okay with it will escalate and you will be the only one hurt. Good luck to you, do not tolerate this hon, you must value you at no cost.

base on your situation is just be faithful and honest with one another if he says that his just only a girlfriends. I don't think is proper if that girl is posting on that site saying what she feels for is it so annoying when everybody knows that you and your boyfriend have relationship.its awkward to know that kind of matters for me and its bothering even just a friend cant even do such thing in the tip of your nose. Of course its normal that you get angry at. for me its unfaithful for they talk over phone...

internet 'love' games are okay as long as you don't get too much into them. so as far as your boyfriend is concerned I think he's very unfair to you playing like that. Even if its an online game, you even said it came to girls contacting him through cellphone and facebook, so I'd say it has gone too far. You should definitely talk to him and tell him he makes you feel very angry with him for treating you like that, because heck, if he's with you he doesn't need 100's of virtual girlfriends, does he? I don't think so. If he loves you he must stop with this and spend more time with you than playing those stupid virtual love games. I wouldn't call this unfaithfullness necessarily, but I'd say it's pretty close to that term, or similar, because first you gotta ask yourself what even made him start playing those games? were you two fighting lately? is there less attraction between you two lately? does he act differently? did he tell you why he does that (if you've talked about it yet) if not, those are the questions I'd ask myself and him, because for everythings there's a reason and I think if you two talk this through you'll find it 100%. And good luck to you! :]

If your BF would rather spend more time with cyber people then you, then I suggest either do the same or leave him that is sooooooo wrong. I hear so many relationshps breaking up on account of the net and its so sad...as far as being jealous you shouldnt be hun it will be his loss if you decide to move on..find someone who wants to be with YOU and not with someone who puts you on the back burner....what kind of love is that anyways?

Just ignore them.You should not get jealous over small things.Now that you have been going 2 years and all you should know about your guy by now.Nothing usually comes off a virtual relationship.You can make him jealous by having friends of your own on the internet.It is not going to be a big deal at all.*winks*

your bf is being unfaithful. i could not see any reason why he would do that and say as a matter of fact that it is all but an internet romance. what does that mean??? my gosh. if he is playing with them then he should stop. those girls are human beings not play things!

I would be very bothered too especially if it is outside of that site and even on facebook/mobile. I think your opinion should be respected by your bf if he really cares about you. It's not right that he's doing something that is uncomfortable to you, what ever it is. Good luck.

If i am in your shoes right now,i will also feel upset and jealous. It is not about internet or the long distance affair,but,it is about respecting your feelings. It is your right to feel jealous,becoz you loved him and if he cannot understand you,then,he doesn't respect your feeling too. This is just my opinion. Have a great weekend

I think you have the highest rights to get jealous because this is a form of cheating. I know it is hard to be possible the two people will be committed because of internet affairs. Internet affairs are just playing fool to each other. However what if this play may come true. You bf can do that to you through the net what more in reality. You have to think twice and be observant to his actions.

yap...the only difference is that they already met before that. Once I have known about it, I really confronted him and asked him to choose between me and the foreign girl. Because I won't think twice of leaving him. I won't tolerate it and know what, he chooses me. You have the right to be jealous just imagine if he is thinking so much of that virtual girlfriend when you are not around. It's not right, it's unfair it's so childish. Better talk to him and tell him that you are not ok with him flirting around like that.

Online relationships are still as real as being in together with you. You should not allow your bf to have relationships with other girls. For me, it's unfaithfulness. Just becoz the other girl is on the other side of the planet does not mean she's not real. It's real. And we all have heard of people meeting online and falling inlove for real.

If i will be in your shoes, i will definitely get jealous of what he's doing. It's not fair. I will not tolerate what he's doing. Tell him to delete this girl in his facebook friends, change his cel number or better change the mobile phone. If he will not stop doing it, i will do the same. If he can do it, why can't i?

I think your boy friend is not fair to you for having a romance relationship even though it is only online and that they would never met. He is being selfish. What if you do the same and have a deep and meaningful affair with a guy overseas? Let him taste his own medicine. Romancing girls online are not fair to either yourself which is his real girl friend and to other girls overseas who might think it is for real. And believe me, your boyfriend will emotionally attached to these girls, even if he said otherwise. He will start fantasizing these other girls. Will you be okay with that? If you are not comfortable with it, you need to talk it over with your boyfriend.

That is bad. You know that kind of stuff over the internet develops in another level. You should talk over and make clear the emotions your guy is putting in that cyber relationship.

Have you talk this problem with your boyfriend? That you are not comfortable with what the other girl is posting and that he should do something about it? An assurance on his part that it's all just for fun (just an internet romance) is okay since you trusted him and that he will not break that trust. Since you are the one who knew your boyfriend well then you will be able to tell if he's lying or not. However, tell him also that what the other girl is doing is beyond internet romance. So tell him either he should tell the girl to stop what she's doing or you will be the one to do something since you have all the right because you are the girlfriend. Have I experienced this? Well I experienced internet romance and now that person is my husband. :)
