My boyfriend recently went on a trip with his friends and accidentally sent a me a message that was intended for the group guy chat . He claims they were talking about how beautiful women can get whatever they want simply by posting or flaunting themselves online . He sent me the picture with a text underneath " trying to grab them DMS" he claims it was guy banter about how she puts a filter on and everyone is grabbing her DMS and nothing more but I can’t help but think he’s cheating . I’ve confronted him and he says it was a honest mistake and he’s sorry but it was nothing more than banter between men about women . He’s never given me a reason to think he’s unfaithful until this moment . Do I just believe his word ?
Help a mama out and respond anonymously on our forum. My boyfriend accidentally sent me a text meant for his guy group chat
Yes. He’s doing what we do with our girlfriends.

Ask him to show you the Conversation. 
If he’s telling you the truth, there should be no reason for him NOT to show you. And, there SHOULD be a conversation if it’s truly what he’s saying.

I would trust him if he’s never given you a reason not to trust him. Guys gossip and banter with the guys like we do with our girl friends.

Sounds like he wants her but can’t have her because why else would he care to say something like that while in a relationship? Typical boy behavior. Men don’t talk like that nor do they care. Cheating tho? No.

No matter what he’s objectifying is sexualizing that other woman and then talking about it to his friends

I’d base this on how your relationship is. Has he cheated in the past? Has he ever given you reason to not trust him? Women do this all the time. If you don’t, good for you but every woman that I’ve met, checks men out and talks about attractive men with friends.

I wouldn’t read that much into it if he’s never given you any reason. This isn’t even considered a reason in my book. This is typical guy conversation just like women have with their girls.

Yah saying she’s trying to grab them dms isn’t a reason to think he’s cheating. He’s basically calling her an attention whore
Sounds like the truth to me
Doesnt sound like it’s a cheating thing… sounds insulting to the girl… why would he be cheating with a girl that he is talking smack about?
He’s pointing out her being thirsty and putting herself out there being desperate… we as females do the same thing when we gossip about about other girls.
It’s just that it’s guys passing judgment on girls here instead of girls. Doesnt sound like cheating to me.

If you have to ask a bunch of strangers, you obviously don’t have trust for him. That is a huge issue in a relationship.
I once got a “text by mistake” saying “get baby some nuggets” he swore he was at his moms watching his niece… Yada Yada yada…Yada… found out he was at his baby moms and that text was meant for her, she was at McDonald’s. I felt like a damn 
believing him then only to find out the truth after lol
Unfaithful or not u don’t enjoy that mindset “women did dirty deeds to get the promotion” and on and on. My husband thinks the same way, and he’s finally respectful enough to quit talking that way about women to me.

Did you ever have brothers or guy friends? Just like women, they share unique banter you’d have to be there to understand. If that’s your only “evidence” he’s cheating, I’d let it go. Your thinking way to hard on this and it’s making you crazy. Change your focus… maybe plan a date night… Bet you have better things to think about!!
I don’t think he’s cheating. I think it’s men talking smack about some girl. Women talk smack about actors and the Chippendales, other male strippers and such. I don’t think there’s anything to it.
If he’s never given you a reason to doubt him then why are you now? It’s the way guys talk
I’d ask to see the conversation from when he was trying to send that and that would easily tell you the context. I could see how the message could go either way “she’s trying to get them dms” or how your brain went to “I’m trying to get them dms”. But context should she’d some light.

Doesn’t sound like cheating whatsoever. They’re clowning on the girl for being my thirsty. If he’s never cheated before, cut your man some slack.
To me it sounds like he is saying the girl was trying to get dms, nothing more, for you to go to he is cheating right away when he has given you zero reason to think he is being unfaithful, and I have no idea how you would get he is being unfaithful by that. So yes I would believe his word and stop looking for things that are not there.

There’s nothing wrong with looking at other people, online or in person. It’s just human nature. I would take it as he meant the girl in the pic was just trying to get DMs by flaunting herself and using the filter.

My thing is yeah guys can talk about guy stuff and women about women but for him to take his time to download the pic of another woman to his phone and send it to his friends is fishy to me no it’s not physical cheating but it makes me think he’s pondering. I don’t know it also depends on the guy! Would he like if u were send pics of men to your homegurls? That’s the honest question, do it to him and see if he likes it.

I understand your feelings. Something similar happened with my, and although it was a dumb conversation my husband was having with his friend, it made me uncomfortable. I can’t explain why it hurt my feelings so much because it was just banter but it did. With that said, I don’t think he’s cheating but if it made you uncomfortable or feel a certain say he needs to respect that. I know my husband has dumb conversations with his friends and I honestly don’t want to know about them, but at the same time there has to be a line or boundary out of respect for you.

I would HATE for an outsider to obtain any group chat that I am in. I’m a mom, wife, employee… my chats are ridiculously funny and borderline inappropriate at any given moment. Take his word if he is trustworthy. Time will tell. If he is a cheater no matter what you do, he’s gonna cheat.

How do you feel in your heart, do you feel he is cheating? My separated husband talked about the person at work compared her to me all of the time, I knew something was going on but sadly I was in no position to leave just put up with it and take it…I am a stronger person being away from him, so if you want to be with someone like him that is your choice, not strangers really helping you decide?

I’m sorry but all this “guys cheat if given the opportunity”, “he’s obviously cheating” crap blows my mind… not ALL guys are the same as those who have hurt yall. And to the comment of ask him to show the texts between him and his friends… 1. That’s an invasion of privacy to the other guys because you never know if 1 of them has asked for personal advice and 2. Would you show your man the texts between you and your best friends? Because I’m betting at least half of yall wouldn’t. Now as for the original poster if he’s given you no reason to think he’s cheating why does that picture and comment make you think that now? Do you think she was prettier or something? I honestly think you need to think about why this has made you think he’s cheating then have a calm sit down talk with him about all of it… no accusing him of anything just simply telling him how it made you feel and why. And ask nicely why he sent it. If he gets defensive that’s when you should wonder if he’s truly cheating… guys look at girls all the time… hell i look at both females and males even when i was in a relationship and even asked whatever guy i was with what they thought of a female i thought looked good… looking isn’t cheating.
