When Evans proposed love to me my response was, “I already have a boyfriend.” That’s what I tell all the guys who come my way and they leave me alone. Despite the consensus that one should not put all their eggs into one basket, I don’t know how to be with more than one man at a time. So I don’t get too close to other men. That way I wouldn’t give them the wrong impression or put myself in a situation that would create room for confusion and complications. 

My relationship is currently a year old. I have never doubted what we have. I don’t go to sleep and wonder what my boyfriend is up to. I don’t see him talking to his female friends and ask myself if he is cheating on me with one of them. The trust I had for this guy was solid. 

That strong trust was what Evans questioned when I turned down his proposal five months ago. He kept trying to be my boyfriend even though there is another man in my life. I even told my boyfriend about him. And he asked me to give him Evans’ number if the pressure becomes too much. I agreed to do it but at some point, Evans left the scene so I didn’t give out the number.  

Two months ago, Evans resurfaced. He said he had a question for me. I encouraged him to ask it. “How sure are you that your boyfriend is loyal and faithful to you the way you are driving men away for his sake?” I told him I was sure of my man. “So what if he cheats on you?” He asked again. I responded, “If he cheats I will forgive him. Is it not general knowledge that it is in the nature of men to cheat? So I won’t lose my mind if he does it.”

In the middle of our back and forth, he said, “Let’s have a deal. Give me your boyfriend’s number so I can prank him and test his loyalty. If his loyalty lies with you then I will stop disturbing you, but if it doesn’t, then I will leave you to decide if you want to continue dating him or not.” It was a crazy idea I had no interest in.

However, another side of me was curious. I wanted to know who he was in my absence. Evans was also very persuasive. In the end, I gave in and agreed to test my boyfriend’s loyalty. I was so confident that my boyfriend wouldn’t fail the test. I remember telling Evans, “My boyfriend loves me so much. He will not do anything to hurt me.” I even added that he was wasting his time with the prank.

Well, a week after he collected the phone number the prank started. Unfortunately, the reports were not good. My boyfriend denied having a girlfriend. He said he was single and not ready for relationships. The prankster deliberately asked him about my photo from one of his posts, and he said I was his sister.

The Secret He Wasn’t Telling Me Was On His Phone


I was supposed to meet my boyfriend but for some reason, he has been giving me excuses. He keeps telling me he is busy so we can’t meet. Meanwhile, he is making plans to meet the person pranking him. He even claims he is falling in love with this faceless person. Because of this, he now gets angry at me at the least provocation. Honestly, this even hurts more than it would have if I had caught him cheating on me.

I am thinking about confronting him. I will show him screenshots of all the lovey-dovey messages he’s been exchanging with the prankster and how he denied having a girlfriend, and then break up with him. The alternative is to break up with him and block him everywhere without giving him a reason. Is it a good idea? Or, I should just pretend I know nothing about what he did and continue with the relationship? After all, I was the one who set him up.
