Mysterious messages raise relationship questions
Dear Amy: I am a 28-year-old, college-educated woman who has been in a serious relationship for the past two years. Last year my boyfriend's job took him to a different state. I left my family and job and moved to be with him.
We were happy and made do with what time he had after his long workdays.
We had been in this new location for about seven months when I received a message from a girl, claiming that they had messed around. I asked for proof and she provided pictures of them posed together.
I confronted him about it and he said that he hung out with her a few times. He apologized profusely, but was adamant that they did not sleep together.
I thanked the girl for telling me and said that I would take it from here.
A few days later, she (and a friend of hers) sent me more messages detailing the relationship and asking if I had left him yet.
I asked him point-blank and he again told me no, they did not have sex.
Not to excuse his behavior, but his work was not going well and as a form of escapism he would go out, which is how they met.
Who should I believe? I find it extremely fishy that she keeps adding fuel to the fire.
I believe that he flirted and created a facade of a single life. I could work through that.
