Is my girlfriend cheating?

I guess I'll be as blunt as possible and describe the whole series of events. It started when my girlfriend decided to further her education. We have been together for 3 years now and in all they have been rather great. The only kicker is that she is taking a class with a female, lesbian teacher. They communicate regularly and I have no problems with her having friends. The problem I have is that I found out her email password after addressing said problems ("I feel insecure because you're spending more time with her than me" - to which the reply was "Don't worry.). Anyways after this little argument I still have my suspicions and looked into her emails. Anyways this teacher of her was talking to her and it seemed to be for more than just friends conversations. I found a love poem from my girlfriend to her about kissing, cuddling whatnot that she had sent to this lady and I also had the ladies reply about resting her head on my girlfriends chest. I went into orbit and yelled at my girlfriend. She proceeded to tell me that I was right but in the whole scheme of things. Right now I don't trust her. Mainly from the fact she lied to me and broke the bonds of trust between us. Though she told her friend that I became suspicious and that they probably shouldn't be friends "right now" that I still feel something is happening or going to happen. I guess I was upset that she didn't tell this lady - "I'm sorry for dragging you into this, I love my boyfriend, he's good to me and all I'm really looking for is a friend, nothing more" and "we can't be friends until I straighten this mess out."

I just don't understand a few things. (1) She was with a man for 8 years that cheated on her so she knows how it feels (2) She still keeps in contact with this woman yet not via email (3) I called her the other day to have her "Ignore" the call.

Oh and for the reasons/signs she's cheating I have this:
1. She likes to dress up more when going to school (understandable) but doesn't really do the same at home
2. We got love rings which were meant to signify our love for each other but when she goes to class (this ladies class) she doesn't wear the ring
3. Her friend still calls even though my girlfriend supposedly said her friend understands that she shouldn't.
4. I offered to take her on a trip (even up to 2 years down the road) and she was kind of vague about it. Though she said she would like to go on a trip with this woman (this was before the email BTW)
5. She is changing her music style to more Hip Hop / Dance based. She used to be a big Audioslave fan and whatnot.

I guess in all I'm scared to lose this woman. She's pretty much perfect and I don't know if this is just depression (stress from school) or that she wants someone else other than me. I would be perfectly fine if she came home and said she didn't want to be with me anymore but this secretive shit is for the birds. I've given her all that she's ever asked for and think that I've put in equal parts into the relationship. I guess I want to know if it's worth fighting to keep her, to kick her to the curb, or to keep an ear and eye out and have life play out?

Am I right ot have my suspicions towards her new found friend?

RE: Is my girlfriend cheating?



ok i know what you are going through you just dont want to be lied to i would sit down and talk with both of them and tell her to pick which one either she has devoted herself to you or she has changed and is with the other woman i would talk to them about this and think long and hard because you dont want to worry about what she is doing everytime she is out do you it is just gonna put alot of stress on you and thats not healthy. if all else fails yes i do think that she is having relations and probly not telling you move on if you can  its better.

RE: Is my girlfriend cheating?



The situation you describe is fishy.  Whatever you do, control yourself and don't kiss her butt out of fear of losing her.  If there is cheating or even the possibility of it, jealousy only gives power to the new, mysterious relationship.

Here's something you can try:

Make friends with a new, attractive woman, and talk about her once in awhile to see if she is jealous.  If not, it could be a sign.

If there is any way to get the two of them in the same place with you, you can usually read body language and figure out if they are lying or not.

RE: Is my girlfriend cheating?



ok u sound pretty smart you have already answered your own question! take your own advice guy! This girl is not for u, if after 4yrs of being with u as a couple, a mate. And she can just up and do what she is doing and being dishonest with out even caring about your relationship then that alone speakes for it's self! She is sneaky and a cheater weather it be physical or mental. once a cheater always a cheater! If she is lieing to u then how in the hell can she be perfect??? beauty is only skin deep, ugly goes all the way threw!!! I would say back off and watch to see if she notice u are not there any more and if she dont notice then u have your answer.... if u love something let it go, if it comes back to u then it was ment to be if it dont then it was never ment to be... i know corny but true!!  Good Luck...Peace out..

RE: Is my girlfriend cheating?



First of all, I think your girlfriend could be just flirting with this woman, maybe not to a point where she would cheat on you, but just in a way we all kind of do with people we admire. She may be in awe of her, just as a lot of people are when they come across someone in a position of power over them. As you said, she's changing her style of dressing and music, probably because she is looking for approval of this woman. In a way she could be somewhat obsessed with her and somehow wants to be like  her (she probably  has reached a high position in something your girlfriend is obviously interested in since she's studying and dedicating time to it). It's most probably a phase that she'll get over as soon as she sees this woman is human and has faults, much like the rest of us mere mortals. This usually comes in a hard lesson from disappointment.

About the love poems, I can't say, since you haven't told us what the woman is teaching her... Is it literature, poetry? Or is poetry just something she likes a lot and your girlfriend is trying to get her approval by showing her her writings? 

The question lies I think if you want to be in the middle of all this, since it seems that her obsession is ruining your relationship? It seems that you are doing more than your part in keeping the relationship alive and she isn't even appreciating it. Heck, I think she's doing everything she can to even sabotage the whole thing you guys have. She probably needs to realize that someone she just met isn't all as wonderful as she thinks and start appreciating what she already has that needs to be cherished. 

Also, if you are giving her too much, maybe you aren't leaving her space to become better because it's all done for her. Start doing things just for yourself and be a bit more independent, that way she can recover the respect you deserve.

Hope this helps?
