Here are the facts. We started dating a month and a half ago. He calls every day except for a few times. I jokingly asked if he was seeing other women and his answer was no. Yesterday I got a little curious and looked at his phone's inbox and there I found text messages from another woman. Her messages read ?diner at my place.? ?I'm not sure what time I'll be done with work? ?Hi sweetheart? ?perhaps this weekend?
Now her last message ?perhaps this weekend? was a little puzzling because I spent all day with him on Saturday and we spent the night together. (well I guess maybe he'll make plans to see her tonight.) Well didn't want to ask him if he was cheating so I said a friend of mine was going through something. His answer was ?Maybe your friend's guy is hanging out with the other woman without having sex with her. Sometimes men take a little longer to decide which woman to pick?
SIGH. Now I'm left wondering why he calls all the time, spends time with me, calls to say good night, asks who I was out with, and says I'm the only woman he is sleeping with.
if he calls you all the time and spend time with you he likes you..the person who text could be an old friend or flame he no longer sure about..you need to ask where the relationship is going and stop looking thru his phone...being a taurus female it is one relationship at a time..
Thanks for your input. The writing on the wall says he is into me but i just had to go through his phone to make sure he isn't lying to me. What can i say i'm a curious gemini. But you're right i should stop because i wouldn't want him looking at my phone. I really want to believe he isn't with this other woman.
first off HUGE offense... wtf are u doing looking through his phone— if it was me and i eventually found out my guy went through my phone, i'd have shot you on sight!
Next are you guys offical? taurus' are fairly offical with things, if you're not then more of a reason why you shouldnt be going through his shit and dont question it. Last i checked if you're not offical, that means its all fair game. Just trust him, if hes calling you a lot and asking where you are, what you're doing... then um.... he likes you! trust me we're only curious if we like the person, if we don't we could care less where you go, who you're with and more. You got his response to your 'friends' issue, obviously hes still deciding on you, so be the most amazing person you can be and hes yours, end of story!
I know i crossed the line by looking at his messages, i guess i wanted to see if he is the player type. Last week i asked if he was sleeping with other women and he said no! The messages i saw made me wonder if he was being honest with me. Taurus35 suggested she could be an old friend or Flame. That i can understand. if he wants to spend time with her i'm fine with it. But if he is sleeping with her then thats where i draw the line. I guess whats puzzling is that he acts like he is really into me but his inbox insinuates he is keeping his options open. Come to think of it i remember him saying he wouldn't be happy if i was seeing other men.
heck no he would not be happy if you were to date other men or even talk of them!! I learned that long ago. although its o.k. for him... lol! Strange huh? I had a few really good male friends that I would hang out with and go to bbq's but my bull never wanted to go and would make comments... But after i stopped going over there, there was more time for him to be with me 🙂
sweet gem, you snooped thru his phone. why? because you don't trust him. what foundation are you hoping to build? you have all these assumptions as to why he had these text messages and that's just going to eat you up inside with guilt for going thru his messages. How would you feel if he went thru your phone, your email, your personal snail mail, listened to your voice mails, etc? That's his right to his privacy. If you aren't exclusive (my goodness, it's less than 2 months), then what obligation does he have to answer your aggressive questions as to if he's dating or sleeping with someone? Seriously....
oh and one text msg that says "Hey foxy lady. what are you up to?" What's wrong with that message? I send "Hey Sexy" to my male friends just for the fun of it and my boyfriend has no problem with that. Of course, I trust him and he trusts me...different story.
i know you posted this to get advice on what this guy is thinking or doing, but there's an underlying issue here and that is you do not trust the guy. If he finds out what you did, he WILL not have ANYTHING to do with you.
hustonpeach :I asked if he was sleeping with someone else because he kept saying how sleezy it is for a woman to have more than one partner at a time. Anyone would conclude that he isn't sleeping with more than one person. I guess his text messages show he lives on double standards.I won't snoop through his phone again but i'm glad i did it because i could have fallen for him and risked getting hurt.
you know what, dating is all one big risk. there will never be a fail proof relationship. so you dodged one heartbreak bullet, but there will be many others. You don't trust him...you've laid that foundation - it won't work.
Thanks for your help Hustonpeach. I'm hoping to get some feedback from more Taurus'. Have you ever cheated on your partners? Do Taurus men have a habit of keeping a pool of women until they make up their minds?
Mercinaries; We didn't sit down and discuss the dynamics of the relationship. I don't want to seem too pushy because i asked him him if he was seeing other women and he said no. Based on the frequency of his calls and our dates one would think we are in a relationship. (but i could be wrong). There is also another issue which i will wait a week a two before discussing it with him. The story is i'm moving 4hrs away and i guess we'll have to figure out if we'll do long distance or not.
Last night when i called him he didn't pick up. But he called me this morning (we usually at night so his call was out of character) explaining why he didn't pick up. The interesting thing is he volunteered the information without me asking what he was up to last night.
My mistak was not setting the rules. Before the text messages i was ok on nights we didn't speak. He didn't call tonight and all i was thinking was "he is with that woman" I don't think i can take this for much longer because i feel that all the trsut i had in him was lost the second i saw the messages. just a few more questions for Taureans.
The boards say you are loyal beings. When you tell someone that you aren't seeing other people is it usually true?
If i start going out more without asking him to come out with me will that make him want me more or will it turn him off?
Thanks everyone for your great advice. I am pleased to say i finally ended things with the cheating Taurus. He insisted i was the only woman he was seeing. It was quite a performance he put on. A stranger would have believed he was not lying. But as the saying goes "All good things must come to an end" My short time with the taurus was fun but obviously doomed. I enjoyed spending time on this board. Now i'm moving on to another board, because i met a Scorpio. My saga continues! cheers
I went through the exact same thing you are going through now, with the same person twice, except I didn't get to see his phone, but he would tell me texts he got from other girls and that they were from his past and he just didn't respond to them. *shrugs* I think that he likes you, but possibly his past or maybe his present includes girls that like him, if you have the patience which I gave up on my guy last week, stay and be around hang out with him and hopefully one day he'll make you his number 1. I couldn't deal with that though, it hurt me too much.
