is he cheating?

OK ladies, a question -
your boyfriend of 2 years has told you of a girl from his previous work who fancies him and is pursuing him to the point of stalking him. You confirm this by seeing it for yourself. You ask him not to encourage the girl, and that he promise not to see her, alone or in company, without you being present. He agrees.

He is staying near his work midweek and coming home at weekends. His puts a promise ring on your finger one Saturday and swears fidelity. He goes back to his digs Sunday evening, and you ask him to text you. He doesn't.

In the next few days, you post several pictures and messages on both his facebook wall and your own. He has always “liked” everything you've posted before, but now he ignores them. You send him 5 private messages via facebook. He has always replied before but doesn't reply to any of the 5 messages you sent.

Monday you phone him. Before, he's always picked up straightaway or called you back within a few minutes. Now he doesn't take your call. And he doesn't call you back. He used to text you at least once a day, but now he's not initiating any contact. He doesn't call or text or message you at all on Tuesday. You text him to ask whether he is coming home on Friday – he does reply but says he doesn't know yet. Wednesday you begin to wonder what is going on and ask him to pop over for a cuppa. He says he's looking at new digs, but will try. He doesn't come and doesn't answer your next 3 texts.

Thursday he fails to reply to yet another text. You are concerned. You log on to his facebook account to see what is going on. To see a messaged conversation between him and the girl he promised not to see, which took place on Sunday evening. He is asking her out for drinks, dinner and dancing at your favourite nightclub. He asks her to show him the town. She is very happy to agree. He signs all his messages with kisses. She does the same with hers. She gives him her number. They switch to phone texting for the rest of the conversation.

You log on to the household phone accounts and see that he continued texting her through Sunday evening. The night he started avoiding your messages, postings and texts.

You notice that one of his facebook messages to her says that he already arranged to move in with an aunt, and even had the date for the move. So why did he tell you on Wednesday evening he had to view new digs and so wouldn't be able to come and see you?

You look at her wall. He has “liked” every one of the sexy photos she has posted of herself online, while ignoring all of your postings. In his messages to her he says he “loves” her new short haircut – while telling you he hated short hair and that if you cut yours, you'd have to walk on the other side of the road.

He wouldn't commit to coming home on Friday evening. You wonder - was he waiting to see if she was available before making a decision on whether to come home to you ?

When challenged he claims it wasn't a date, that there was nothing in it, and he “just wanted to hang out with friends”. He says “he would never have been unfaithful” Do you believe him? What do you think was really going on?
