I am 28F and he's 31M. I've agreed to be in an exclusive relationship with this guy whom I'm dating long distance (though it's not really displayed for all to see on Facebook). It's still very new, we have only known each other since September but have spent hours on the phone, Skyping, and the couple of times we have been able to physically be together.

The other day, I saw him comment on a girl's instagram photo that I know he has some sort of history with (whether it's just friendly or sexual, I'm not sure). The exchange rubbed me the wrong way and I decided after much debate to very calmly and openly ask him about it. Unfortunately, he lied to me flat out but doesn't know I'm aware that he's lying. I really want to let this go but him lying about how he knows her is not sitting well with me. Should I once again say something? Should I break it off with no real explanation why? Or should I just try and forget it?
Kinda struggling here about what to do. Thanks.

I would confront him about it. It may be he was just trying to spare your feelings in the matter. If you don't talk to him about it, it will only grow and fester.

I don't think you'll be forgetting it. I would call him out on it now. Ask him if he wants to reconsider his response (this may give him a clue that you know). If he still lies then outright tell him you know about the comment on Instagram and ask what the big deal is in admitting it. If you are satisfied with his explanation, end of story. If not, mark as strike 1 and go on from there (giving another chance). I would only end it if response led me to believe there was more going on than meets the eye. I wouldn't be too eager to trust in a long distance relationship. Try not to give away your heart to him.

If it was me I would call it quits , for 2 reasons ..
1 - He lied to you , so who knows what else he has lied about
2 - Long distance relationship sucks

Find someone who you can date and enjoy the fun things like , going to the movies , holding hands and such ...
Thanks for this!

mmm I'd have to agree that lying is a biggie.

Just forget him. Men aren't worth the anguish.

Don't forget it. try to find out if he's seeing someone else. When I met someone online, it turned out he was seeing me and other girls on match.com. Be careful hon.

Confront again, resentment festers and destroys relationships.

I'm curious, why the quick jump to want to end things? As in, are there already other things you are finding troublesome?

Straight out lying...hmmm...that's a trust breaker. How serious is he?

I would go with nature1968 on that one.

I would end things and let it go, move on to a more trusting guy...

Well I may have jumped to conclusions. I DID finally fester up the courage and ask him about it...he explained it further to me and once again reassured me there was no one else and we are very much exclusive. His story makes sense after he explained it again. I have a very hard time dealing with my own inner "fight or flight" response. I have been single for the past 6 years ie: no relationships lasting longer than a month or so. For me, it's like run because you're afraid of being happy with him eventually or seeing it through.
