A Mature reaction? Cheat with another internet people, like me!
I'm waiting for your e-mail...
I'm joking, but you must keep it cool in order to not pass as the bad one who lurks the other's lifes. When you're boyfriend get back by your buisness trip?
If it is a long way to home (EDIT: or to pay him a visit) then you can e-mail or phone him and try to have some explanation.
If you can survive till he come home (EDIT: or pay him a visit) is better to speak in person in order to see his face and gesture language.
Maybe he was only misunderstood and searching for a friend when she sent this soft-porn picture.
I'll tell you my experiece so maybe you can settle down a bit and:
I have this friend that went to live in a far city (200km or so from the place I live), we talked each other by internet or phone, an it was getting pretty tender but I take it as tender as a friend can be, nothing sexual.
One day I went to visit her, I made many hours in train, I had a very pleasant day walking through the city, talking...etc... and I had to return by the night train so she said "stay in my place tonight, so you can stay with me also tomorrow and depart tomorrow evening with quiter and calmer". I accepted because we are very close friend and I never had expected that that night she'll try to make things between us a little more complicated, I have a girlfriend too!
So she tryied to seduce me because she misunderstood my intentions, I said her for example that I was a little worried about my girlfriend and she understood that I was trying a way to leave my girlfriend and things like that.
I don't fell into it and I departed the next day, we remained very good friends.
If it was developed all by internet she should sent me a soft-porn pic and I should said her "No thanks, I'm engaged", that is quite the opposite of cheating.
At last also the very close friends of mine sign their mails with hearts, xoxo, hugs, "I love you very much" and things like that (indeed by mail and chat many of my friends are much more tender than my girlfriend
), there are many expression of affection that doesn't really are expression of sexuality or cheating or things like that.
I don't know if things in USA are so different from here, but I hope I made my point and calmed you a little, you definitly need some sleep to talk to your boyfriend.
If you want to discuss more you're welcome to PM me, if you liked my post sooo much and you wanna help me you can correct my bad grammar
Bye!
