| I think you've made your point, so there should be nothing else to do but chalk it up and move forward. |

| The thing that is a little unnerving to me here is the fact that you asked him to give up all of his platonic girldfriends. Why would you do this? Do you not trust him to have a friend who happens to be a woman? Could this be why he lied in the first place? Perhaps he relies on this woman, which by the way is not a bad thing, however, he feels he can't tell you about it.
Seems to me that you should sit down and discuss what you are feeling before you walk down that isle. I have a feeling that there is more to this story then what you are telling us. Men and women can be friend platonically and not get romantically involved...my best friend is a boy (heterosexual) and we have been friends for over 20 years...and we have never even kissed. |

| hi no punctuation and no capitalization run on paragraph without any breaks or clues to phrasing makes it really hard to tell what youre saying you might get better responses if you made it easier to read not to be a stickler but surely you see what im saying
But seriously. I think you may be making a bit too much out of it, though of course he shouldn't have lied to you about it. It's really for you to decide if it's a deal breaker or not. If you're the jealous and suspicious type, you're likely to attract a guy who lies and sneaks, and even a guy who doesn't usually do so may be tempted to, just to avoid a big scene over some innocent thing. |

| Right now i'd say it's time to address these issues one at a time. You don't trust him. If you did, you would not be checking the numbers he called, and you really would not have dialed the number on separate occasions. That's not a reflection on you, i might add, i probobly would have done the same thing, but it still leads back to the fact that you don't trust him. Can you trust him again? If so, what's he going to have to do to get it back, or what are you going to have to do for yourself to trust him again. Right now it looks to me as if you're both in the wrong, because you don't know that this is what you think it is.
I wouldn't necessarily panic about this woman yet. From a guy's perspective, IF he percieves you as the jealous type that gets upset at the idea of him speaking with another woman, then yes, he would lie about something innocent like that. If you mean that much to him and he doesn't want to hurt you by making you think there's other women in his life, this sounds like a viable, albeit dishonest, route out. I've often fibbed to my girlfriends about other girls in my life, just because the situation looks so obviously like i was cheating or interested in cheating when i really just wasn't, and i didn't feel like she'd believe me. |

| The fact that he felt he had to lie tells me he knew how you would react, and he was right, wasn't he? So you either get over it, or show him that he must lie again to avoid you going lulu on him. Not a good situation, but You could help a lot by talking and reassuring him of your understanding, and not that oh wo is me you hurt my feelings. Not a mature approach in my opinion and demanding he has no female friends is UNREASONABLE, and insecure. |

This does change things quite a bit as if he makes demands then he must go by the same rules. You both have a lot of talking to do before you can walk down the aisle. |
