I have been with my bf for 2yrs 6 months now and he has always had a habbit of texting other girls and its driving me nuts cuz he keeps saying that its just texting and he loves only me. But how am I supposed to believe that if he gets the chance with one of them he won't take it? We are both 21 and born two days apart. I really love him but the texting is killing me. Any advice will be appreciated.

Hmm, follow the advice of your s/n and give up on this jerk. Texting other girls isn't okay.

You might love him, but you need to love yourself MORE.

All healthy relationships are based on RESPECT and TRUST.

He doesn't respect you and you don't trust him.

This relationship is a waste of your time.

Find your backbone and move on. "Love" doesn't look like this.

if he's texting in front of you, and its harmless, ask him to see the texts and responses. tell him you would like to be able to discuss with him the things that he is talking to others about. He refuses, hes cheating, or searching.

Depends on what he's texting. Are these platonic friends or what?

Maybe find out if they are just friends first?

I don't think he should have to give up his friends to be with you, but if they are just friends politely ask him if he could refrain from texting them when you two are together.

WTF?!?! So many posts saying that she needs to give up on him...?!?

If any girlfriend of mine ever said that I need to drop my female friends for her, she is getting booted out the front door sooner than it takes to post this reply!

If they are ONLY friends then you are far too insecure and you need to keep your emotions in check. He has a right to have friends, girls or guys, as do you! You should not expect him to drop his friends because he is now dating you.

Now, if they are "more" than friends, that is a different story all together... and you need to get rid of him if he doesn't stop.

You can't MAKE him do anything. You are the only one who can take action to improve your situation.

I suspect if he was just friends with these chicks you wouldn't be freaking out - it sounds like he's flirting heavily (unless you're one of those nuts who thinks people can't have friends of the opposite gender). If he is flirting excessively with other women via text, then you dump him. Hey some women are ok with this I guess, but you are obviously not. Neither of you will change your stance without a great deal of resentment. So let him go.

You're really young. Trust me - there will be other guys.
