Been with my boyfriend for 12 years now. He had me get on his fb the other day to find a group he wanted to join. When I clicked on his search bar it popped up with at least 4 different women he had searched for. I ignored it but made sure to go back to his search bar so he had to have known what i seen. Should I confront him on looking these women up? I hate being the sneaky girlfriend and look thru his phone. If he says no should I ask to see his messenger to see if they’ve been conversating? I’m all in my head and that’s all I can really think about. He’s become even more distant than what we’ve already been. I tried showing him extra affection yesterday and got half ass back. I just don’t wanna stay somewhere I’m obviously not wanted.

If it is bothering you, you need to have a conversation with him. If thats something your not ok with you need to set that boundary.
Me personally I would be incredibly hurt by that. And my partner knows this. So if I was to find that on his phone we would have problems.

Be an adult and let it go. What is it going to prove? Maybe they are friends from school? My husband and I NEVER went through each others belongings and no relationship is going to work if you are going to be like that.
Just ask. I have a few people I’ve searched for different reasons. If he gets defensive then it’s a red flag but he may have a legitimate answer for you

No. We’ve all searched old loves to see if they are fat and bald…let it go.

I wouldn’t be a gf for 12 years. Also, just ask him about it. Women need to stop assuming someone is cheating. Men are allowed to have friends that are girls just as much as women are allowed to have friends that are boys. What if they are his coworkers? What if he wants to catch up with old friends from school? Instead of being a dictator, ask him about it. But don’t be that girl that says “YoU cAnT bE fRiEnDs WiTh OtHeR gIrLs”.

Depends on if they’re local girls he might be trying to hookup with, exes, or fan pages?
So you don’t look up any guys? None? Coworker? Neighbor? Friend from school?
If it bothers you that bad, just ask him. Just because he searches for someone on social media, doesn’t mean he’s slinging his goober around town.

If you have to ask yourself it’s because you already know and you’re looking for validation in what you already know. I personally wouldn’t be a girlfriend to someone for 12 years and when I show affection get 
on in return. Weird tho if he was that he’d ask you to search something on his phone for him. Or it was his way of showing you without telling you. Best thing to do is confront it see what he says and go from there. Don’t drowned yourself in questions and doubts you’ll drive yourself insane.

If you feel you need to have a conversation, have one. You can’t expect one day of extra affection to be the solve all of problems.
Have you never looked people up from your past? People you went to school with? New co workers? People you hear on the news?
If you are uncomfortable with it, then yes bring it up.

I would just ask him in a calm way and tell him you’ve been thinking about it. Watch his reactions and don’t get upset. You can judge by how he reacts if it’s was a malicious intention or not.
Male point of view I search up a lot of shit on Facebook my girlfriend has access to it not once has asked me anything it’s called trust in a relationship if you wanna know just ask and have an adult conversation if he gets defensive over it you know it’s a red flag…
Being a male myself I’ve looked up old girlfriends and old school mates to see if they’re fat or ugly
12 years of being his girlfriend and nothing more? I’d confront him about that lol

I’m not sure why so many people thing you man should not be allowed to look people up or have friends or talk to other people. You’re not his mama he is grown as long as he is being respectful it’s fine. If it bothers you be truthful and sit down like an adult and tell him when he had you do that you noticed it and you wanted to have a conversation about it. 12 years you should be able to tell if he is lying or hiding some information. Good luck!
Some guys for get to delete what they are doing behind your back. I had an ex that would cheat he was good at covering up and deleting messages until one day he slipped up. I would ask him about reading his messages I would just do because he may delete them. Then again if he’s distant and not showing you love call him out on it once a for all. Maybe it’s time to move on from each other. Don’t forget to check the achieved messages thru forget about those some save there as well.
Sounds like he’s staying with you until he finds the right one

Doesnt mean he is slinging his schlong in these girls. Maybe its old friends, maybe just curious, maybe just being nosey. Ever just looked something/someone up just wondering. If he was hiding something he probably wouldnt have let you touch his phone. But if its bothering you that much just be an adult and ask him about it, DONT ACCUSE… just ask.
Nope, just run for the hills

You weren’t snooping, he asked you to look something up.
Yes you should confront him about it and let him know that you will be respected or you will be missed.
Don’t get emotional or throw a fit, discuss your boundaries and either move forward or split.
Be sure your closet doesn’t have it’s own skeletons, nothing worse than a hypocrite.
3 options
-
Single people can date whomever they want, so you break up.
-
Open relationship, both sides know they aren’t exclusive
-
You make sure boundaries are defined and both sides knows they are to be respected. No point in being a dishonest cheater when he could just be single.
Cheating (this is a form of cheating) is a cowards way, you can let him know I said that.

Something definitely up id talk with him
I’m surprised by some of the comments. Me and my fiancé have been together for 15 years, have 2 kids together, have a house together and 2 dogs. We live the married life without the piece of paper and we are both perfectly happy. Don’t let people make you feel bad for being together for 12 years and not married! To answer your question, I wouldn’t be too upset about it but would probably like an explanation. I would talk to him and tell him you saw it the other day when you helped him find a group and you were confused about it. It could be completely innocent! I’m my own worst enemy so I understand all the made up scenarios in your head lol. I’m sure you will feel so much better once you voice your concern to him. Good luck! 
I think if he is asking you to get on his Facebook he is not worried about what you will see so my guess is it was innocent. I look up people for all kinds of reasons not cuz I’m trying to cheat is just talk with him about it

First of all seeing that and not knowing the reason behind it is going to make your mind go places like “he’s become distant” has he really or is that just where your mind went because you don’t have the answers? It obviously bothers you so yes ask him about it and then trust his answer. If you don’t trust his answer and feel like you wil need to dig deeper to find the truth then you already have your answer

In a calm moment, tell him in general terms how you feel about use of social media within a relationship “I think it is ridiculous when people are in LTR and still looking up and dm’ng other ppl to flirt etc” . Lean back and observe what he does with that information. If he continues, lay down a clear boundary. If he either gaslights/deflects or continues the behavior or both, he is showing you how he feels.
Ask him without it being negative. I know it’s hard but you have to pretty much trick him into telling you… act cool about all of it he’ll be more likely to talk… if he Immediately gets on the offensive then he may have a problem. People who don’t lie don’t get offended when asked questions. People who do lie get very offended when you ask questions.
Honestly I search up random people too sometimes, not because I’m interested in them, but because I’m nosy. 
I hear the name or see the name on a mutual friend and get curious who they are. 
could just be something totally innocent. But if you don’t trust him or you’re concerned then you should just talk to him about it.

It’s better to talk about it, holding it in is going to eat you up. Ask about it in a non accusitory tone, let him know that it’s not something that makes you very comfortable, and go from there. Express why it bothers you, ask yourself the same.
I get it, I really do… I have some issues myself, due to past problems in the relationship so the trust isn’t “back to normal” just yet. Things take time, and we’ll 12 years is a long time to be with someone and then all of a sudden find these things out I am sure is tough, emotionally. You’re left feeling like “Where do I stand in this, is he bored of me after all of this time, am I not enough anymore?”
In the end, we’re all human beings if you’re not happy with those things, and he finds it to be completely okay and again you’re not comfortable, it doesn’t mean you should dumb yourself down to make another person happy. Just because someone has different views, doesn’t necessarily mean you’re wrong in your own. It isn’t something you fancy, and that’s alright too. Just try not to stick around to potentially get hurt over things you’re not exactly okay with.
Ask him why he searched them… If he were hiding it he would have deleted it or made sure you didn’t go on his phone.
I wouldn’t be too bothered by it. Probably just people he used to know in school or something like that. If it bothers you that much ask him🤷🏻♀️

I think it is time for a real conversation, keep it calm and on point. If he has lost his feelings for you, I understand how you would want out. Talk with him. If you both want to keep your relationship, if you still love each other, perhaps you could suggest couples counseling. I wish you both well.

How about being an adult and having a conversation? “Hey, who’s Susan? I saw her name on the search bar when I looked up that thing for you the other day”.
That’s what Facebook is for, looking up friends and people we lost touch with over the years. High school friends, distant relatives, etc.
Between high school, college and a huge family, if I got upset over every person my husband looked up, I’d need a strait jacket

R you crazy if that’s love hate me awhile. He’s trying to send you a message. I’ve been in a similar situation longgg years ago. I’m old now but wise about this. So you need to move on bc old habits never go away unless you want to live knowing your seconds. I learned so much that I might want to seriously hurt them if I ever was young again. Guess I would be in jail. I hope your a person that will listen before you end up cripple or worse. Yeah, I th oil ought they would see I loved them & change. Not going to happen!! Do you like to live this way every day for the rest of your life? Or would you for sure know that you are truly loved like truly loved. Girl, get on kick that dead beat to the curb. You can do bad on your own!! You need to listen from a someone that knows!!! Love is blind sometimes & seems like you both got your priorities mixed up. He is breaking you & you know it so move on & give it to God bc he knows all about it. He may not be on time but he will when you least expect it

Ok I may have a different opinion but… maybe the women are friends or co-workers or someone from the past. I look up old friends pages to see how they are or what they have been up to.

Yeah he’s definitely up to jo good and probably already deleted everything now you can go to setting and go to activity log and see what’s left or go to messenger and archived messages but if he’s already checked and removed that it’s a pain I would also go to app and see what’s downloads that’s how you find hidden apps
