My boyfriemd has a plenty of fish account still, what to do?

Postby Hurtwomen » Fri May 18, 2018 8:02 pm

So, I met my boyfriend 2 years ago on plenty of fish. Once we had been dating for a couple weeks he said he was going to delete the account which he did. We had some issues at the beginning of the year with him getting on craiglist personal and was receiving pictures from other girls, and trying to talk to them. So I checked his email the other day, and i see a message from plenty of fish saying here are his matches for the month, under a different username. I confronted him about it, and he had just said that he has had that, it's old and he never gets on it that's why he hasn't deleted it, but I'm not so sure. I know his full username but when I try to Google it I can't find it, and when I search on pof it doesn't come up. I really wanna find the profile to see if it is really an old account, but I don't wanna stoop to his level and starr an account, some help please!

You’re not sure? What is he suppose to say, “Yep, I’m not happy and am searching for another relationship?” OF COURSE he tells his current girlfriend that is monitoring his emails and snooping around that it is an old account.

but I don't wanna stoop to his level and starr an account, some help please!


Too late. Your snooping is stooping...and he has one foot out the door. Trust is gone, gone, gone.

So, why does he stick around? Because you let him and he rationalizes that he can shop around, hide it from you and when he finds someone new he will move on. For now, he avoids the pain of breaking up, still gets his intimate/sexual needs basically met, and if he fails in pursuit of other women he has you as a backup plan.

See, his way of thinking is you are a great safety net. Sure, it is a lack of integrity to go behind your back, but trust is already blown on both sides so who cares? He can pretend that one day when he is tired of hunting for strange he can shut down all his accounts and you will still be there. Until then he figures he is smarter than you and you can go ahead and snoop away. After all, what is the worst that wll happen when you catch him?

I'm with Richard the trust has gone. You've only been together for 2 years and he's keeping his options open...can you imagine if you was together 10 years from now ! He can't be trusted. Move on. Good luck x
