My boyfriend is acting weird, I think he is sleeping with men and women

i been with my boyfriend for 5 years, since we started dating he acted weird. he would not let me touch him or kiss him unless he’s really sexually stimulated. a few months ago we had a three some with another man( yes a man) and since than everytime we are having sex all he does is talk about the man’s cock it really bothers me and i told him that it had just been a fantasy,he’s fantasy and to leave it alone but he won’t stop talking about it and i know just by the thought of it it excites him. a few days ago i was (yes) snooping on his computer and i found out he has been answering to mans adds on the internet for one night stands. i haven’t confronted him but i don’t know what to do. i love him and its hurting me of just thinking that i’m going to loose him but i really need to know. something is telling me that he is sleeping around with man and woman also but i just don’t know how to approach the situation. HELP!

Hi Debbie,

From what I understand, your situation is really not easy. You are with your boyfriend for the last five years, and you really love him. But, you saw that he answered ads on the net for one night stand with other man, and you think he is cheating on you with other men and women.

My first question would be : are you still happy with that man ? Do you think that you have a future with that person ? Otherwise than this problem, do you have a good relationship ? If you, it might be a good time to reconsider this relationship. Although it is hurting a lot, you have to think about yourself too, and staying in a relationship with someone who is lying to you will not make you happy. And, it doesn’t seem to be a recent problem, because you wrote that is has been five years.

On the other hand, if you think that the relationship is still bringing you a lot of good things, that you still have a connection, that you have projects, you can consider options : would you have a boyfriend that is bisexual ? Because from what you write, it might be the case of your current boyfriend. If yes, you don’t matter having a boyfriend that is bisexual, you can see if you would tolerate to have an open relationship. If you don’t want to have an open relationship, you have to be very clear about it ; and if he cannot respect you on that, you might reconsider this relationship.

But if you are open to live an open relationship, you can also consider this option. Some people are not happy if they have only one sexual partner. It can be what your boyfriend is experiencing.

Anyway, I think that it is the time for you both to have a good discussion. If you want, you can consult a couple’s therapist, like a psychologist or a sexologist, to help you in this process.

Thanks for writing,

François, for AlterHeros.
