My SO was doing this also. I tried to convince myself that it was ok, that it was just like looking at porn. I tried to open my perspective on this, and I just couldn't. What did these girls have that I didn't? If things were so bad between us, why didn't he talk to me instead of them? It made me feel inadequate in so many ways. It became more like emotional cheating. Then he left me for someone he met online. I don't want to say that is what will happen to you... every situation is different, I can only tell you how I felt. It bothered me tremendously that he was doing this and I spoke to him several times. He never understood why it bothered me so much, but would stop for a little bit. Then would start doing it again. We obviously didn't see eye to eye on this. If it bothers you, you have to tell him. If he does not respect your feelings about this, and continues, I fear it would not end well for you. Don't let your feelings go unacknowledged for too long, it will start to eat away at you. and don't let him push your feelings aside.
