Default What do I do?

So,

Lately my girlfriend of two years has been acting strange, really strange. But mainly noticible this weekend.

SO I get home from fishing on saturday night and she says "oh, I'm going out with a friend tonight." Yeah yeah I'm fine with that, just be quiet when ya get home. SO I ask who she is going with and she stutters a bit and says 'Josh' I said whos he. she said an old friend, I trust her so I accept it, fine see ya later.

Anyway, she leaves at 9. I get this text from a mate at midnight saying, 'I just saw your gf with some guy alone driving' mmm getting a bit suss now. So I get my mate to suss things out, he followed them for a bit until the car went to a dark lookout on a range road, he just kept driving and texted me what he saw. Even more suss now. Anyway she gets home at 4 in the morning, jumps into bed.

I wake up in the morning and ask her what she got up to, she started getting all nervy, and said some crap like she went clubbing and stuff. SO I thought ok, I'll play along see what happens.

All day long sunday she is clutching her mobile, texting every 5 mins, talking on it. And really didnt want anything to do with me.

Monday morning comes, ok I thought I'll take a look at her phone...Where is it?? She took it into the shower with her!!!

So the whole week has been the same, really secretive...jumpy, etc.

And tonight about 20 mins ago, she says she is going out with 'Josh' again and she doesnt know when she'll be home...I texted n said 'where are you' and she texted back and said 'car park near the bike tracks at the uni'

I know for a fact cos I ride bikes that it's very dark there, etc etc

Anyway, I've never had to deal with something like this before and I'm at loss of what to do??? Do I go to where they are and do a bit of a stakeout?

I'm gonna be devostated if she is doing anything....but from what I can see is happening, it's doesn't seem good.

Advice anyone, please!

yep I'd go stake her out, better you find out for yourself now than live in doubt for a while until (if something is happening) she leaves you.

Mate , Dont do the stake out thing . Next time your both home , sit her down and straight out ask her, "Whats Wrong ?" . Be nice about it and explain that comunication is very important in a relationship! Better you ask and her and hear it from her than worrying about it for god knows how long !I once had this exact same thing happen to me , and it turns out she was organising a suprise party for me . Of course I have had the same thing happen and turned out she was with another guy for the wrong reasons !

Its better to find out now and sort it out than worry for ages and have her fooling around on you ! Girls that fool around on you are a waste of your time !

Its blatently obvious. I was in almost the exact same situation in february after a 3 year relationship. Get her before she gets you. And like 1QWKF6 said, find someone who will appreciate you. At first it feels like **** knowing whats going on, but once your free and start to get female attention you wonder why you ever stayed there.

For personal satisfaction, id kick the **** out of Josh, but its probably not the smartest thing to do.

I had this same prob to after a 2 year relationship.
You have to options with it:
1. Try catch her doing somethin she shouldn't. If possible get a mate to take you because she will know your car or
2. Just sit her down and try get it out of her. Its gunna be hard but mate you can pull through it. Just spend money on the car lol

Mate if she is acting sus and hiding stuff from you, it's time to pull the pin, otherwise you will never be able to trust her again, looking over your shoulder and wondering.

Like all the other who said the same stuff has happened to them, they are all signs.

Better you pull the pin and move on, she will never be the same again.

The shock will make her maybe suckup to you to get back together but then she can pull the pin on you and the shock will be worse cos you didnt expect it.

Whatever happens, good luck.

Pulling the pin is hard...Situation is she lives with me and my parents, works in cairns...and her parents live about 60km away in port douglas...so if I leave her...she is pretty much screwed...n I'm not about to ruin her chances in her career n stuff...

I dunno...Seems like I'm in a pickle

Mate,

I dont know you, or the total situation, but I know that you asked for people's advice and now you dont want to use it?

I dont mean to sound like a 'a55hole' or anything, but if this is how you treat her and do everything for her and wipe her bottom...

Im not suggesting anything, for all you know it is innocent, but cmon... Reverse the roles... Why would you start acting funny? Hiding your phone. How would she react if you went out with your old female friend from High School and were out all night? I WOULD BE PEAKING!!

But honesty rules... Sit her down and ask straight out... If she states that all is fine, I would turn arrogant and take her phone then and there... After all, if its innocent, she has nothing to worry about... Right?

Why dont you take her out for dinner or a movie (her choice), go home and play your (couples) favourite song and dance to it...

If she is beginning to stray (for whatever reason), last chance is to spark to flame that made you a couple in the first place...

Maybe I just rambled... Just trying to help !!

Goodluck!

Well if nothing will change your mind, do what shes doing, sa your going out with (insert girls name) for the night, go to your mates, spray yourself with perfume then come home and see how she likes it. Or actually get another girl.

Definately go with the talk - stakeouts and confrontations are best left for American tv shows (yes, Cheaters!). Besides, if you caught her in the act you may do something you'll regret - and she's not worth getting into trouble for (assualt charge etc.) if she is in fact cheating.

Yeah sit and talk with her. Tell her how you feel about the situation (calmly), and ask if she wants to continue the relationship, or move on.

I find it weird that she told you she was out in a dark isolated place with him though. If she was doing something wrong, wouldn't she lie?

Just talk to her about it, prepare a nice meal at home, get a bottle of wine, have a good old chat to her about things, and then just ask the hard questions... and they will be hard to ask, and even harder for her to answer honestly... you will know from her body language if the truth is coming out....

Maybe she wants him to come and find her, catch her and break it off with her, maybe she is too scared to break it off with him for reasons of their situation listed above?

Bingo, my friend - that was the first thing I noticed when I read this - if she was cheating there's no way in hell a sane person would say I'm in an isolated carpark unless there is nothing to hide....

You have automatically assumed she is cheating - therein itself lies a trust issue- and I'm talking about you not her..... stand up, be a man for gods sake, say you feel uncomfortable about the un-intentional secrecy and ask her. I'm not saying it will be easy, but why automatically assume it's goin' on without even doing the adult thing.......
Don't get me wrong if she is being unfaithful then you have every right to tear her a new one, but make sure you have all your facts coz' it's a big big call to make.......

Good luck

Why are you asking mate, you know the answer deep down, just to afraid to admit it to yourself you're being cheated on.
Don't sit her down and ask her about it, she'll lie her rrrrs off, catch her at it then you'll know and won't be wondering all the time, it'll do your head in and you'll become paranoid.

Kick her *** out and tell her to move into Josh's house with his parents!

Noone deserves that kind of treatment.
