Boyfriend has secret email accounts?

Question

I'd like to hear some people's opinion about a situation that I'm in. I've been with my boyfriend for several years and we've been talking about getting married. We moved in together 5 months ago and share a home computer. By looking at the history, I can see that he uses email accounts that he doesn't tell me about. I was able to get into one of them, and basically, it's where he sends porn or other types of sexy pictures that he finds on the Internet or that people forward to him. I also see links to Adult chatrooms and webcams. I confronted him about this, and was very upset because I didn't know how far this was going with him. He was very remorseful and told me that he's lived alone for so long, that this is a habit he's gotten into. I really don't think that he's cheating on me in "real" life, but this stuff upsets me, because today I just found out that although he told me that he got rid of all those accounts, there is still at least one that he has active. Thoughts?

Thanks for all of your responses...problem is, I found out that he still has this other email address because I was snooping, so it's hard to confront him about it. Basically, I looked in his regular email account, and saw a delivery failure notification and saw that he was forwarding a link to this email account that I didn't know about. He had a typo in the address, so it got bounced back to him, and that's why I saw it. I know, it's psycho for me to be spying on his email, but it's the only way I feel like I can know the truth. I've had two big talks with him about this in the past, and he knows how much it hurts me. I just can't figure out if I'm over-reacting and being too controlling, or if he's a jerk.

Answer 1

you have to pick your battles sweetie...believe me! Ive had similiar issues before and you have to ask yourself what is more important...arguing over pictures on the internet or a possible "real" woman. I personally think its just a "man" thing to look at porn and pics--no harm. Now if he crosses the line and does the chat room thing and makes plans to meet women THEN I would jump in on that battle! If you think about it, these pics are not real, flesh, its fascination and arrousing. So let him look at his lil pic files and then enjoy him!

Get a No Cost Background Check Scan at https://bitly.im/aOljq

Its a sensible way to start. The site allows you to do a no cost scan simply to find out if any sort of data is in existence. A smaller analysis is done without cost. To get a detailed report its a modest payment.

You may not realize how many good reasons there are to try and find out more about the people around you. After all, whether you're talking about new friends, employees, doctors, caretakers for elderly family members, or even significant others, you, as a citizen, have a right to know whether the people you surround yourself with are who they say they are. This goes double in any situation that involves your children, which not only includes teachers and babysitters, but also scout masters, little league coaches and others. Bottom line, if you want to find out more about someone, you should perform a background check.

Most men live single lives for many years before they get married. And they need to satisfy their sexual feelings somehow. Looking at porn and masturbating is one common way. And almost all single men do it. This becomes a habit over the years. And many men continue doing it, even after they get married.

If you are going to break up with your boyfriend because of this habit, then you will have a lot difficulty finding another man who is not like that. Perhaps you will find someone who is more devious and secretive than your present boyfriend is. And he will manage to hide his porn habit from you. But I doubt that you will find a perfect man who doesn't enjoy looking at porn once in a while.

I think your expectation of what a man should be like is a little bit unreasonable.

Answer 5

If you've been together for SEVERAL YEARS and are just NOW starting to talk about marriage, then what he's been doing BEFORE marriage has NO BEARING on what he may do AFTER you're married. If these ADULT activities were interfering with a married couple's relationship, then I'd say you'd be right to confront him about it. BUT, since you're not married to him NOW, I think there are some trust and privacy issues at stake here. Ask him for a definite wedding date - then tell him you hope he "grows" out of this sort of thing before your wedding night.

Answer 6

Well that's a hard one because no person should be doing that kind of stuff. Ask him why he lied and still has at least one account to do things you don't approve of and if you have been together so long then he should care about your thoughts and concerns.

Answer 7

so do i ... why? because its private stuff you don't necessarily want people knowing about...like talking to other girls...secret e-mails you only will open alone because it may be something you don't want your other party to see...doesn't mean hes cheating though...may just have a porn addiction...does he still like sex regular? if so i wouldn't worry too much about it...most men like to see naked women.
if hes more into porn than you, you may have problem.
but if he still performs regular, don't worry...
i heard doctor drew say " a healthy amount of masturbation helps boost the male libido!!!" it does mine.

at least one a day keeps the limp doctor away...!!

Answer 8

Well, if he's been doing that for a long time, you just have to give him time to get rid of the last one. It's like an addiction that he's slowly coming off of. Just show him lots of love and give him time.

Answer 9

I think a marriage should be built on mutual trust and that the tw of you should work out the issues you have with trust before the wedding.

Answer 10

theres nothing wrong with looking at porn and pics.. who cares. But if you find emails from a specific person over and over, I'd be concerned.

You should search Myspace and see if any of his email accounts or his name have myspace. www.myspace.com
