renhjj Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Hi everyone, I hope you all can offer your helpful insight on my matter. My gf has hurt her neck such that she cannot really tilt it just yesterday which resulted in her going to the doctor's. Today when she went for a photo shoot (some background info. she does modelling and maintenance for a online clothes shop) which usually last 5 hours? i.e. 9am to 3pm including lunch time. Which means she would text me around 12pm sporadically for an hour during her break. At 12.13pm was the last message I sent to her which she did not reply. I just thought she must be really busy today. So I left her and did my own stuff, however at 3.54pm I got a bit worried that she may have gotten really sick or hurt due to over working so I sent another text. Which she replied 5 mins later saying I just finished work. I didn't think much of it anyway as coincidences do happen. Anyway, later at night while we were resting and watching a bit of TV, a message came in. I accidentally caught a glimpse of the message when it came in as we were then talking and her phone was facing me. The emoticons on the message were really outstanding and it said goodnight <3<3<3 from her boss. I know that it was an invasion of her privacy when I saw the message this is no excuse but I couldn't help it as those red hearts were really eye-catching. She was a bit secretive with her phone after, whenever she entered the chat app to talk to someone else for example she would enter to the person's chat directly and quickly exit the app after being done. Pressing the back arrow urgently many times. I feel really conflicted right now. I really trust her but upon seeing that message all the suspicions came gushing into my mind. Am I a bad person for having such a suspicion? What should I do now? Please help me!!! I actually had plans on proposing to this girl if things went well this year. Link to post Share on other sites
d0nnivain Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 The emoticons may simply be a less than articulate way of expressing sympathy to your GF because she is injured. Alone they don't amount to cheating but I would keep your eyes & ears open. Don't accuse but ask Qs. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Elle1975 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 My boss never sent me "good night <3" messages.. If you feel something is up, then something is probably up. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
lolablue17 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 What do you have here? 1. The exact time she sent you texts doesn't say anything. 2. The goodnight text itself says also nothing. 3. the secrecy of her behavior can indicate a lot of things. Have you tried to talk to her? You know... to talk... as bf and gf sometimes do. try and tell her what's bothering you. You might find some answers. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
tom670 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Do you two have a phone plan together? You could check the amount of texts if you have that gut feeling I would stay quiet for now. Can you surprise her and go there to take her out to lunch and meet her boss also. Too early to say if she is cheating though that text is a little out of line. You could put a voice activated recorder in her car and find out one way or another. Link to post Share on other sites
tom670 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Is the boss married or have a girlfriend? Has she been late on other occasions or leave early. Again a var in her car may give you answers or where her head is at. Link to post Share on other sites
tom670 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 if you two are in an exclusive relationship there is no privacy except for the bathroom. You should have each others passwords for everything. For now do not let on that you are suspicious. Did she have an answer why she didn't get back to you earlier? If it sounded lame or didn't make sense go in PI mode. Link to post Share on other sites
harrybrown Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Better ask the questions and tell her you have decided to postpone the proposal. Link to post Share on other sites
No Limit Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 I know some people will bash me for this but, ask her if she'd let you look and if she panics or goes nuts about it, there's your answer. 7 Link to post Share on other sites

Author renhjj Posted August 20, 2014 Author Share Posted August 20, 2014 Hey guys, so the update is... she is cheating on me... I asked her about her boss and she suddenly got defensive and acted really weird. Made up excuses about how I don't care about her being injured and hurt right now but instead here I am asking her about her boss. So I asked the right to check her phone and promised if she ever wanted to do so to me I would gladly oblige. She broke down in tears as I read everything. I feel dead inside right now but thanks everyone for your helpful suggestions. Link to post Share on other sites
Andy_K Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Sorry to hear that, how long have you been together? The one thing you can take from this is that your instincts were correct, and you weren't being paranoid or insecure. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

BeholdtheMan Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 I'm amazed at some of you. Apparently red hearts in a text message from GF's male boss to GF is not a giant red flag? Wow...incredible 5 Link to post Share on other sites

tom670 Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 That sucks but when your gut tells you something listen. So is she going to quit or are you just plain done with her. Once the trust is gone there really is nothing to salvage. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
smackie9 Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Oh dude I'm so sorry. Well it's worth the confrontation rather than snooping. Hats off for your courage to take assertive action instead of passive. Stay strong, we are here for you! Link to post Share on other sites

preraph Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Yes, the hearts are a red flag, but how many men actually text hearts like that? My first thought was her boss is a gay guy. Sorry to hear it. That guy probably bangs all the employees, if it's any consolation. In the end, she'll probably also get her heart broken as well. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
No Limit Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 That guy probably bangs all the employees, if it's any consolation. In the end, she'll probably also get her heart broken as well. It's actually very common in that business. It's also a very easy trick; amateurs who fake themselves as profi photographers can easily get sex by making them believe they can sleep themselves to the top. I don't think her heart's that much into it; she saw her chance with a guy she considered to be "an upgrade". I do hope she'll sooner or later test herself for STDs after the guy gives her up for a new model with self-esteem issues (and there's a lot where that came from!). Link to post Share on other sites
BDL Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Now you know she is not girlfriend or wife material. Time to give her the boot and start looking for a girl you're supposed to be destined for. Don't waste time on disgusting people like her. Count your blessings, dude. Link to post Share on other sites
LostOnes05 Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Sorry about that man! That stinks. I understand how you feel. She will undoubtedly ask if you guys can fix things and move past it. To this you say of course honey I already have...your things are in that box over there. If you give me your phone again I can call your boss to give you a ride. Lock the door and get yourself a loyal woman. You don't deserve that kind of treatment. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
