Found out boyfriend was dating someone else. I'm the second choice! What to do?

I met my boyfriend 6 months ago. When we started dating, I was closed off and wouldn't talk to him very much. The attraction was strong and we had sex quickly. A couple of months later, I finally opened up to him and our relationship started developing. We do get along great and now we are very close. We are both falling for each other. He has met my friends and I have met his family.

The issue is this. He told me he had been exclusive since we met. He gives me a hard time for 2 lunch dates that I had after meeting him. I found out from Twitter that he was seeing someone else when we first met. She was crazy about him and I think he saw her more than he did me. Now I feel like Im his second choice. She ended it because he didn't have time for her....probably because he was trying to juggle the 2 of us.

He claims they didn't have sex, but he let it slip that she saw his mom on her way out one day. He claims they were watching a movie. He says that he was hanging out with the other girl because he needed the emotional side of a girl, and all I was giving him was sex. I kind of see it, but Im uncomfortable. We were not exclusive, but he hid this from me.

I really like him but am afraid if getting hurt. What would you do?

Well if it continues like now you will def get hurt, point is you a sex object and the other one is emotional, so you will be forgotten immediately , wake up girl dont get yourself to be used. Just leave him and find a proper relation to avoid the hassles of depression etc.

Hey that's trickyyy.
If I was in the situation, I would continue the relationship if I truly liked this boy.
I feel like you think he's lying about the other girl, like you think that they had sex? But I mean you'll never truly know what happened between them. Unless you ask her but thats weird lol.

I would continue the relationship, like whats important is that you two are together now. I would rather cherish time with someone special than worrying about some other girl.
