I would just like to say I have been peeking at this board on and off and have found it very helpful. I am hoping some of you on here can help me sort out this puzzle.
I have been seeing a 41 - never been married (gasp) man since early october. I am divorced single mom. He is a successful, intelligent, beautiful man, who I fell head over heels for. We meet on yours-truly ( eharm). The relationship progressed and I - love- you's have been exchanged. He is a relatively gaurded person.
My true love had made a big production out of the fact that he had found the one (me) and was closing his account with eharm a few weeks after we started dating. He also assisted me in ensuring mine was closed. He had a situation last week with a former match "stalking" ( his words, not mine) to his place of work. I had his password ( he had given it to me but it was still very wrong of me to check I know) so I decided to log on and see what was happening. Well low and behold he still has a profile up, and in fact renewed it the end of November. I don't think he is dating actively but he still checks his matches and sends the occassional ice breaker. I confronted him on this and told him I was dissappointed in his dishonesty. He denied, and then after realizing he was busted was silent. I texted him a couple days later and apologised for going into his account , that I know it was wrong. I also requested that we at least talk this out and see where things stand. He has not called or replied. I am hurt because I have not forced my way into this guys life - he could have let me know he wanted to continue to explore matches. Any thoughts and feelings on this? Any input would help me wrap my mind around this. Thanks!

He gave you his eHarmony password so you could log on into his account?

If that is the case, is their any benign explanation for anything you've observed?

This doesn't make sense to me ... either he is messed up and unsure of what to do, or you are chasing a phantom.

He gave me his password to other accounts - just so happened that it worked for eharm. I do know this was wrong, but after he told me about this chick showing up at work, I had a feeling that maybe there was more to the story.
Maybe some guys get an ego boost out of continuing to get the winks and nods from potential matches? Maybe he's still looking?

Yes, Dee I agree-why did you even have his password?

In any case, for both of you, the cats out of the bag and you've both been caught being sneaky. Apparently his way of dealing with it is to shut you out and theres no way for you to get around a person who won't communicate.

And would you be able to trust him, or he you again?

In my dating experience, 3-4 months is the telling time. You've gotten to know someone pretty well, the warts are visible and the honeymoon period is over. Since I began dating again, I haven't made it past 4 months yet.

This may just be one of those sad times for you when you'll have to accept that things didn't work out and go ahead with your life. Not much you can do about it.

You've sure got a lot to think about-

edit: Yes, it's an ego boost for some people especially and considering that he hasn't been married, this may be a habit to him..but still, you guys have to talk about it for you to be able to make any sense of ot.

Cake and eat it too?

He wasn't quite ready to walk away from you so he wasn't open and honest with you about it.

I would never ever EVER speak to this man again. Ever.

Yes you were wrong to check but I have to ask if something else was bugging you about this guy? Did you get some weird gut feeling from him prior?

You guys are awesome! Veteran - I guess the one thing that always bugged me a bit was that he was so gaurded and required a bit of patience breaking through some walls. He also limited his time to just twice a week at first, but was actually becoming more available. I just assumed that he wanted to take things slow...

maybe he gave you the password so you would see that his profile was still up and break up with him because he isn't man enough to break up with you.

I'd say move on.

The I love yous were flying and he gave you his passwords. All in such a short time frame. Then you find out his account isnt closed after all. Add these up.
Actions speak louder then words.
Iam thinking fate stepped in.

Imagine you are a professional (pretend if you must) and do not get two unrelated matters confused.

That you checked into his account is not at all related to his betrayal. If he stated he would do a thing (not get anymore the matches) and he did not do that thing that he stated, then he lied!

Lying is grounds to cast him into singleville !!!

Now, since you sneaked (which is grounds to cast you out - but since he is not here to get the fine advices, that is not my problem - I suggest you consider any possible benign explanation for anything your sneaking found.

***

I would be on the brink of giving up on you over the sneaking ... it's serious, but it is not to be allowed to deflect attention from and lies he may have told.
