I've found my man on an online gay dating site.
Hi all,
I am a 21 year old woman who has been in a complex, yet wonderful relationship with a man who is 23 years old. We have been together for 16 months... although it has been on/off at times. Now when I say the relationship is complex, it is because we are both south asian, but of very different opposing religions. We love each other insanely, but our love is one that our families would not approve of. We basically, could never be together forever.
Anyway, I have been quite down over the past few days because my boyfriend has gone away overseas for two months to get involved in some charity work. He left a few days ago and I have been missing him terribly. Now, I know his email password, although he doesn't know that I do. I just happen to know, because he uses the same password for everything. Even so, I never ever have gone into his emails. However, for some reason I decided to go into his inbox today, I don't know why... I think it's just because I miss him a lot.
Once I'd signed on, everything seemed perfectly fine... until I came to a bit of mail from September 2008 that was from a gay dating site. It was a password reminder request. I immediately thought nothing of it; my guy is a very typical kind of guy, he's into very (dare I say it) 'straight' things, and I have never ever had reason to think that he could be gay. So I just assumed that it must have been a joke of some kind, that either he was playing on a friend, or someone was playing on him. So I ignored it at first. But then I couldn't help myself... and I logged into this gay dating site account of his.
What I saw shocked me. There were two new messages from last month, one saying "i thought we were meant to meet up?", and another saying "I've sent u so many messages, when are we meeting?". When I went further into his messages, I found some other old saved messages... one which really freaked me out saying "I can't meet you tonight, I have work in the morning, but call me". Others were communicating where they were from, and their telephone numbers. His profile states that he is bi and looking for 1-to-1 or group sex.
So I began to think, OK... he is just a curious guy. But then I saw an account logbook type thing, which said he's logged in 56 times, and sent around 79 messages to other users in total.
I am soooo distraught, I don't know what to do. I thought I knew my guy, but clearly I've been clueless to his second life. I can't prove that he has been sleeping with men, but it does seem that way. What do I do? It's tough because he is away for 2 months, and I don't want to disturb his trip. At the same time, I don't want to confront him, because I was so wrong to have gone in his emails in the first place. Another thought is, should I just walk away.. Like I said at the start, we can't stay together forever, so perhaps I should just leave without a word? And what if I am totally wrong about him being gay? Maybe he is just curious?
Please give me your opinions, I would be so grateful.
