Boyfriend thinks im cheating

Today on the phone my boyfriend of 6 months told me that he sort of felt like maybe i was cheating. i asked him whya nd he said because i hang out with alot of guys because i dont rly like girls and he was just in jail for 6 weeks and today iw as with a few guys hanging out at their house and i guess i took a little too long to text him back, and i know that, in all honesty, id probably suspect it too if i were him but i'm NOT, and it just killed me to hear him say that, and i ant to know, how can i show him that i'm telling the truth? i mean i know he'll believe me eventually but i want to convince him sooner so he doesn't have to deal with the pain of that thought, because i know when i thought he was cheating on me it tore me up.
couldja please help me.

In all honesty, this is something you can't speed up.
You need to build trust in a relationship. And if it's hurting your boyfriend that these friends seem to take priority over him, he's going to take a while to build it up.
All you can do is spend most of your time with him, show him that he means more to you than your friends by putting him first.
And sorry sweets, but this isn't a quick fix situation, it will take some time
Good luck

Exactly what i would say. Trust can take years to build, just be sure when you have it you dont break it or he wont trust you ever again xxx alex xxx

Love isnt all about sacrafices.

You need trust, as well.

Trust is a key element. i dont agree with you here, Britt-o.

Shouldn't someone you love have enough faith in you to realize you are dedicated to them? Manda for one knows I only look at her, so the other girls don't phase her. I too, have been cheated on before. But I willingly tell Amanda, with security and the knowledge she will stay loyal, to go out with male friends if need be.
I dont have to call every minute, text every minute, or anything. She knows I have a life and a schedule. Infact, she loves me enough to encourage me to get out and do things with others and then do things together. Because she loves and trusts me.
Her boyfriend and your boyfriend arent compromising. They are throwing fits till they get what they want. Jealousy is a weakness we all succumb to, but true love isnt about compromise.. It's about trust.
If a person hasn't enough security to realize the person they're with loves them, there isnt any compromise involved. Just insecurity.

That isnt a compromise. It's my decision. Infact, the orginial plan was for us to go to different colleges and everything. I made the decision, she doesnt agree or disagree. Either way, she would be happy and content. She's happy and content with my decisions. And most relationships, it isnt the case. But one should be able to support whatever makes the other happy. If it IS healthy. I'm not talking drugs or something.

Compromise is a part. And will always be. but trust and communication are mostly the keys.

You willingly do that? Your mistake then, Britt. She shouldnt have to, Manda shouldnt have to. No one should.

Guys like that aren't every single guy, Britt. But that's YOUR decision.

I'm not saying spend every waking minute with another guy. Balance. Friends are just as important as a relationship.

Okay. Well here's my story.
I was at work late, and a good friend of mine was talking to me. I was due to phone Amanda and make plans, so I was rushing clean up. The girl said my name, so I turned. And she kissed me before I could turn my head back. I yanked my head away, said.. "I have a girlfriend, who I love. Don't pull a stunt like that again. " and walked out the door.

I told Amanda and you know what? She said.. "I'm proud of you. It wasn't your fault. You walked away." She trusted that I said I walked away. She didnt second guess or question my reply, because she was sure I loved her and wouldn't lie. Why would she take away the company of people that made me happy in other ways, who meant something to me, and were there before her? She wouldn't because she knows I love her and I love them on such a different level, but all the same.

Tell me Danielle, if a boy kissed you.. Would you kiss him back? Would you tell your boyfriend?

If you're in a commited relationship, you should have enough sense to balance and do the above questions. If you love him, make time for him, too. But don't blow your male friends off. Just give him time to accept that YOU love HIM and not them. Giving it all up.. Well, what happens if you two don't make it as planned? You're left a little bit alone then, aren't you?

Compromise a little, yes. But don't give it all up. Trust takes time to build. All you can do is tell him you love him, Danielle and give him time.

Thanks for all the replies.
well, if i have a choice on who to spend time with, it's always him, esp since he just moved back in with his dad and lives 45 minutes away now. and he's always told me that he trusted me. now, i can completely understand where he's coming from with this and i told him that, and i told him i was sorry for making him feel that way, because during our rockier times i felt that way about him a majority of the time. he's even said he trusts my friend john, the one who i hang out with the most. i think it was just the incident, and me taking a long time to respond... but we've talked about it and he's calmed down. sometimes its tough because alot of guys like me, and alot of girls like him, but at the same time, that means that, even though we could have all these other people, we chose each other.

Prophecies In Kodak, the same thing happened to me but obv different gender and different situation as this was on his sister's hen night.
A guy was trying to buy me a drink and then he tried to kiss me (eww).
I told Marcus all about it when i got home and it turned out that one of the girls on the hen night had got their first and tried to tell him her own version, which completely backfired as she was expecting me to keep quiet about it.
But Marcus told her he trusted me completely anyway. Plus his sister told her to back off when i told her about the following morning, lol.

But anyway. I do agree with both you and Britt. On the trust thing and the compromise thing.
I wouldn't hang out with a bunch of males on my own just out of respect for Marcus's feelings yet i know he trusts me completely to do that.
So i agree with both of you in a way, lol

Chris didn't want me talking to my guy friends at one point, but I told him I wasn't going to three away three or two year friendships away for nobody. I told him I wouldn't call my friends sweetie anymore like I had done for over a year but that he had to trust me enough like I trusted him.

I tell my friends all about Chris and that I would never cheat on him. If your bf said that to you I don't think there is much to do but to listen to all reasons he thinks that, there might be more than you know or that he has said.
