How should I handle this situation with my boyfriend?

Me and my boyfriend have been together for 2 years I recently gave birth to our son who just turned a month old. Three months before I got pregnant my boyfriend was acting weird so I got on his phone and found out he had been searching for escorts I was hurt but talked to him about it and he cried and told me he’d never do it again that he was just curious an d sorry. I would search his phone and there would be nothing after I found out I was pregnant I’ve caught him twice searching up escorts and dating sites but when I confronted him about it he just cries and tells me he just is curious and that he doesn’t actually do anything and for me to check his bank account it is so hard for me to believe him now but he doesn’t let me leave he says he loves me and that it shouldn’t hurt me by him just searching up without him actually meeting up with them. Last night I went though his phone again because he’d been acting weird hiding his phone so I decided to go through it when he went asleep and saw he had been searching up escorts again, and also had been calling free chat numbers to talk to girls on the phone he made the call after he got off work and was on that call for 20 min and he had told me he was supposedly at work still I confronted him after seeing g it and he started crying saying his coworker had asked him for his phone and he had made that call but prior to the search for the number to call girls he had searched escorts and is blaming his coworker . What should I do?

He has a problem and he doesn’t want to take responsibility for it or stop. So you need to decide if you’re willing to accept his problem by staying with him or you leave him. Having a child is no excuse to stay in a relationship.

Leave! He keeps doing the same thing over and over and he won’t stop because he knows regardless of what he does or say you will stay. He is manipulating you into staying with him.

Stay if you don’t mind your bf seeing escorts on the side and leave if that breaks the boundaries in your relationship. Simple as that. It’s highly unlikely that he is just randomly looking at their ads constantly and someone else is calling them off your phone .Your bf is paying for the services almost guaranteed lol he’s just Gona cry every time you catch him because it works lmao

Shady is bad. Break up with this man. You dont have to put up with that just cause you have baby with him. Humans arent perfect, SHADY/LIES/DISTRUST are dealbreakers to me tho. No lies

He knows he can cry and you’ll forgive him and let it go. Break the cycle.

Just leave. He’s shown you he doesn’t care. He won’t change. He won’t stop. He will get to the point where he will actually meet up one day and you may or may not catch him. You can’t trust him so why live like that. You deserve better.

He will keep saying sorry and keep doing it, he obviously doesn’t respect you or your feelings. I went through same thing for 5 years, hv 2 girls with him and finally decided to leave and divorce him. Sorry doesn’t mean anything unless he actually changes and doesn’t do it again. He has done it numerous times. You keep letting it go so he keeps doing it. Leave for you and your child.

What do you consider cheating ? Sounds like he looks & talks, but who knows if he’s meeting up with anyone. That said, clearly his behavior is upsetting to you and his crocodile tears haven’t resulted in any behavior change. He could have a secret credit card or pay cash or another way that won’t leave a financial trail.

I’d say maybe he’s doing this for release because he knows sex is off the table while you’re healing, but this sounds like it’s behavior that’s been going on since before y’all even got together. I’m curious as to why you had a child with him if you knew he was this way but kept hoping he would change after evidence to the contrary.

Is he otherwise a great partner and dad?

If you want to save the relationship, get couples counseling. Someone else needs to get him to see how his actions impair y’all’s relationship and he has to be willing to work to conquer this addiction.

That’s a pretty tall order, so I think your choices are live with it or leave. I’m so sorry. But congratulations on your little one, and please use birth control so you don’t have more children with this disrespectful dude.

You’d be a fool to believe that mess. Crying is his way of guilty you into staying. Kid or no kid & confronting him will not make him do right by you.

I feel like this goes much deeper and further that you realize. He wouldn’t tell you to check his account unless he has another one he’s using for these indiscretions. I think he’s done a lot more than you realize. His tears are fake and guilt all wrapped up.

Something happening more than once is no longer a mistake. He knows you don’t like it, and continues to sneak around and who knows what else he might be doing. Cheating doesn’t have to be physical. I know having a child with someone can make you want to stay to work it out, but realize your worth and leave this situation. Manipulative people are going to cry when they get caught and sadly I don’t believe this situation will change for the better. Best of luck girl, focus on yourself and your little babe :heart:

Sounds like a narcissist. They will never be in the wrong,you’ll never change him either. They’ll cry bed plead to manipulate you. But only thing can say Is have more respect for yourself. He’ll keep doing it as you are allowing it he’s proven he isn’t changing.

Omg leave already he doesn’t wanna be with you. He is cheating on you with escorts. He is not just looking up escorts he is also hooking up with them. You can’t even trust him you keep looking in his phone. If you can’t trust who your with its time to leave. Go get urself tested asap.

I stopped reading at looking at his phone without permission. I’d never do that to a boyfriend or my husband :woman_shrugging:

Throw his phone in a lake and LEAVE. ASAP.

Leave. Want a plethora of std’s? That’s the way to get ‘em.

People are always so quick to say leave. Whatever happen to counseling maybe find out why he’s curious. Men are men and they are going to look. I’ve been in my relationship almost 10 years. In the very beginning I’d find him on these sites and yes it did bother me. But we found hope through communication. It don’t work for everyone but sometimes it’s worth a try

I feel like if you want to be able to love yourself you really need to think of how many times are you going to take “I’m sorry” for the same problem that keeps repeating. And remember that feeling of how hurt you feel. All I can say is choose yourself, love yourself. That man does not love you. You deserve someone that’s going to give you good sleeps at night instead of checking his phone, that’s going to comfort you, be honest with and do what is in your best interest at all times.

How many more times do you want to go through this is what you should be asking yourself. Can you continue on like that because that’s what is going to keep happening. He has proven it to you to over and over. You need to practice safe sex with him. I’m sure he’s not just looking

Obviously leave. How sorry can he be when he keeps doing it. His actions speak louder than words and crying about being sorry doesn’t mean a thing. Then he tries to lie with the worst obvious lie (it’s my friends :roll_eyes:) imaginable like you’re dumb and will believe it. Now he’s just insulting your intelligence. Leave, he’s just going to keep doing this whole routine for as long as you stay.

You gotta let him go love, at least do it for your baby

How many times now? I am in no way being judgemental. I know what it’s like to keep allowing certain behavior because you love them so much. But this behavior in particular worries me and has me worried for you. And you don’t find out until you go through his phone (which also is a problem)

I don’t want you to be hurt. Please see this as his behavior and a habit now. I don’t think it’s something that will change. I’m positive of it. But we can tell you all we want but I think it’s something you have to really sit and think about and how many times you’re going to allow him to say sorry for this crude and repeated behavior. If he cries and apologizes and you accept it. It will become routine. Again not judging but I’m hoping you’ll get some good advice here and think about it. I , myself, see major red flags. And I think you should leave before more years get out into this and it’s even harder to leave vs asking in a forum like this. Best of luck to you :heart:

Escorts and dating sites? You obviously lost all trust, rightfully so.
Value yourself (and health) more, not to mention the lifestyle you want your child exposed to since this guy does not care.

Crying doesnt mean shit. Unless you want to end up with a disease or your baby you need to run

Ask yourself if your ready to live your life constantly distrusting your partner. You deserve better.

Even if he hasn’t physically done anything, it’s just straight out disrespectful.
Disrespectful to you AND your baby.
People behave how you allow them to behave towards you, and you’re allowing this if you stay with him. By not walking away, you’re telling him it’s okay to keep treating you this way.
Walk. Don’t look back.

Hunny I’m so sorry. I think he likes the thought of it which is very hurtful. Good luck

Walk away. Set up a home for you and baby and focus on motherhood and making sure you’re good, be a great employee, friend, etc. Coparent in your child’s best interest. Make sure your doctor tests you for everything.

Get rid of him he’s going to or is already cheating. Technically what he is doing is already cheating as he wants to do stuff with other people???

Sadly it’s time for you to go. He’s def lying and you’re going to keep finding things until you either stop looking or leave. So sorry

Weak, cowardly men cry when they get caught. If you let him make you a doormat he will and he will laugh at you while paying his escorts . Value yourself and your child. Kick his cheating ass to the curb.

Why doesn’t his lying ass just come home to his gf and child and then just have sex with his gf? He wont ever change.

Love yourself and leave this man.
You and your child deserve better.

If you have to look at your man’s phone like that he isn’t a true man and ready to be in a long term relationship!

You already know what you should do. It’s your choice whether you do it & learn to love yourself and be happy, or stay and keep dealing with the same thing. If you choose to stay, might as well accept how he is and stop being surprised every time he gets caught. Seek therapy for him, hope for the best, but expect the worse.

He knows all he has to do is cry…

It’s obviously a problem for him. He won’t stop. You keep giving in. Leave his ass

You are looking for us to tell you what to do and we can only advise. You’ll "get"your answer when you’re ready.

But the truth? He’s gaslighting you and you’re allowing it bc you want to stay with him as a functioning family member for your new baby.

That’s not reason enough to stay. It gets worse. It always does. Think of the baby. Your son doesn’t deserve an unhappy disrespected mother. That’s what you will be if you stay.

He is very clearly the one who is making the calls. He is only Crying so you will feel pity for him. Its obviously gotten hom this far. Girl save your child from having to live through this and leave because he isnt gonna change .

Best advice I’ve heard came from the Braxton show. If you are brave enough to bring it up, be prepared to leave the situation. Bringing it up and staying is giving him the ok to continue to do it.
FYI the criers are the most manipulative. He isn’t going to change because he’s already broken that trust several times since being caught.
