When you ask your boyfriend if he cheated on you with a certain person or cheated at all, and he starts snapping saying why would he ever do that and how mad he is at me for asking him, and that I should know better, Does that mean he has cheated?

Yes, definitely. If he was innocent why else would he get so upset?

There are two sure ways of knowing if someone has cheated:

1) If you ask them if they cheated and they get pissed, as your boyfriend does, they are guilty.
2) When someone cheats they often constantly accuse the innocent party of cheating. It's a strange phenomenon but very common.

No, it does not always mean he's cheating on you! If you're asking your guy if he's cheating on you, you're doubting his loyalty...but why? Is it his behavior, or is it really an internal problem with you?

Now, if this guy is spending less time with you, not answering your calls, spending a lot of time with a "friend", or pretty much doing anything suspicious like that, yes. He's probably cheating on you.

But if you're racking your brain trying to find reasons why you think he's cheating, and you can't come up with any real reasons for why you started that fight, this could be a "baggage issue". We have a tendency to carry our emotional baggage over from one relationship to the next. Sometimes really bad things happen to us, and it takes a long time to get to a point where we can trust somebody again. And sometimes we're so worried of getting hurt like that again, that we're always on the defensive, building things up in our heads, and acting like crazy people.

But that's not what a relationship is. A relationship is based on mutual trust. You've just got to jump off the edge, and hope to God that the other person is going to catch you. So if this guy is being a sneaky asshole, run for your life. But if this argument with him was the result of a "baggage issue", get your mind out of the past, and into the here and now.

#1 up there's a bit of a blanket sweep, isn't it? I won't deny that it's an effective distraction technique for people who DO cheat, but I know plenty of loyal guys who would be genuinely offended if their partners accused them of cheating. My flatmate, in particular, considers trust the only thing he requires in a relationship. If a girl questions that trust for no good reason, he leaves. Extreme, I know, I'd probably just laugh it off if it was me, but whatever floats your boat.
However, if he's given you plenty of other reasons to be suspicious, AND he's being evasive, it's probably time to re-evaluate your priorities. They should probably move in a direction that doesn't involve him. Don't let his bastardry turn YOU into something won't like.

So, men don't get pissed at being accused of something terrible which they didn't do?

Fuck you, Mystery Man. You have terrible advice.

I think mystery man is right and we just dont want to admit it who better to tell the truth than a man who is trying to be honest! face it girls men are assholes!

Mannon

Men, let's face it! Women are manipulative and deceitful!
There's a reason such sweeping statements don't work. They quite unfairly brand the silent majority for the actions of the conspicuous few.

tiny.dancer

Whoa there! Why do all women have to be manipulative and deceitful? That's kind of unfairly branding the silent majority for the actions of the conspicuous few as well, isn't it?

Um, I think he was being sarcastic in reply to jane's comment.

I agree with Mystery Man. Although there are always exceptions, I can't see why anyone would become enraged if their partner asks them if they've been cheating. I'd be surprised and I'd want to know why they think that, but I wouldn't yell and scream over it...

While it's normal to get offended when someone accuses you of cheating, I agree with MM -- if the accused gets overly angry, it's pretty much guranteed that they cheated. Sadly, I've seen it.

Ive seen it too. I lived it. My ex used to CONSTANTLY accuse me of cheating, even though there really wasnt a possible way I could.(I wouldnt anyways, I know how it feels and id never do it to anyone) It turned out that he was definately cheating on me, and with several women. So I agree with the fact that if he gets really angry over a simple, right to know question (ESPECIALLY if you have evidence or just a gut feeling) then yes he is mostlikely cheating

I think Mystery Man is right. I know a girl who asked her boyfriend if he was cheating and he got up and yelled "F U" and went and slept in his car for the night. Then a week later he packed his stuff and moved out and is now with that girl he was cheating with. My friend had a gut feeling and I think he was trying to divert guilt. Just my two cents...
