I completely forgot about even updating up until yesterday... And then I saw this thread up on the front page. An update is definitely needed.
I confronted him, he knew something was up, knew I had a clue about something, knew something was bothering me, but he is a guy and obviously had no clue how to approach it.
It was a Saturday afternoon, I had packed quite a few things in boxes and had my entire walk away plan set up.
I told him I knew he was talking to her, I even checked the cell phone statement. But to my mistake... I didn't check it well enough. All I saw was her number a good 8 times and was furious.
I was entirely calm about it though while talking with him.
We argued of course, about trust and dis-trust. And then he proved me oh so very wrong. We have had many issues in our past when we were younger and didn't understand how much we cared about each other and till this day have an insanely hard time believeing he has made some changes for me. Which is my mistake.
Mellisa is a girl I have met before, she's a little over 5 foot and rivals 180 lbs. The one time I met her she was wearing spandex pants and a cheetah bra trying to show off for the guys while we were out riding, she was very flirtatious with all of the guys and damn desperate.
One of our buddies really wanted it, another one already had it, and another one was still attempting to get it. The buddy who really wanted her was unfortunately dating another rather big girl and didn't want to mess things up.
She ended up breaking up with him and so my fiance and our guy who knew the girl decided it would be a good deed to hook him up with Mellisa. The day I saw those txts was the day my fiance and his other two buddies hung out around the house all day. That particular week our buddy had lost his cell phone while riding his harley drunk and was using my fiance's cell phone, those 8 calls I saw were all made in ONE day, the day they were hanging out together.
I stupidly stood my ground and told him I didn't believe it. He called Sprint and canceled his cell phone line... to further prove nothing was going on with any girls and that anyone who needed him could call him through my phone.
All in all, Mellisa and our buddy are doing quite well together, she thought she was talking to our buddy when we exchanged txts. I'm getting much more help with the bills, he even bought my $200 contacts, $160 glasses and $75 Eye Exam last weekend. His cell phone now sits on the night stand most of the time and I even use it occasionally, so obviously he isn't trying to hide things.
After out arguement and my almost leaving he quickly realized that he trusted me entirely and I didn't trust him at all. He then explained that maybe it's time for him to work on gaining my trust. And he slowly is.
I'm cautious, believe that, I'm not going to be able to shake that feeling for a very long time. But I think he finally understands it's time to be a bit more serious with our relationship.
So we are still engaged and probably will be for the next forever years. I appreciate the advice but I think it was very one sided and seen from eyes that fully concocked a story. I was a female being paranoid and stressed for a good reason but the wrong thing entirely.
