Law School & 23...
When I read your post the first thing came to mind was "Love Addiction". I think many men and women should research that phrase. As for your situation; not really sticky and your hunch is natural (in my opinion). This great guy has confessed to you that he has cheated; any women would have the same feelings as you. I would take his words as honest until he or you find reason do believe otherwise. Trust him; you have not been given a reason not to. Since you guys are open with communicating with each other you should tell him how you feel about all the texting and IM conversations. I’ve stated before, if the conversation is not suitable for your ears to hear verbally then it’s probably a conversation that he shouldn’t have in your presence as well. Let him know and tell him why, if he loves you (as you do him) he will give you that respect. This guy probably never wants to cheat again, but I wouldn’t wait for him to mess up either (don’t hold in your thoughts about it, tell him what you think when you where thinking it and why). He probably wants this input from you and spends much of his time with b/c of wanting to be the “great” guy as you see him. Cheating doesn’t always mean “unloving” or “incapable” of love.
