A boyfriend that is actively on a dating site is looking to see what dating options are available to him.

Finding him on a dating site is a strong indication that he has been complicit with the idea of doing all of this behind your back.

Although he is intent on seeing what dating options are available to him, he is fully aware that there are no guarantees of success.

This is why he maintains his relationship with you.

You are his insurance policy.

Only if he finds a girl on the dating site that he considers to be an upgrade from you, is the consideration of voluntarily breaking up with you a possibility in his mind.

A boyfriend on a dating platform is looking to eat his cake and have it too.

He wants to pretend that he is single to the world at large.

He does this to see what comes his way.

As his girlfriend, you fulfill his physical and emotional needs.

He wants to match with a girl on a dating site that does the same, but is much better looking.

A bona fide physical upgrade from you.

With the advent of the internet, people in relationships are constantly exposed to temptation.

Whenever they are online, they are inundated with images enticing them to click.

Before they know it, they go down an online rabbit hole that leads them to a social media or dating site.

It isn’t surprising that since the advent of the internet, the rate of cheating in relationships has skyrocketed.

To keep themselves from having a guilty conscience about signing up on a dating service when they are already in a relationship, they tell themselves that this isn’t cheating.

All they are doing is looking for people to talk to.

This is how they absolve themselves of the blame for what they are doing.

Should you confront your boyfriend about seeing him on a dating site, if he owns up to it, he is probably using this defense too.

All he was doing was making friends online.

His entire intention is to make it seem as though it is no big deal.

Don’t be fooled by these words.

A boyfriend that is actively on a dating site is cheating.

Lots of people who are in relationships but are secretly signed up on mobile dating sites defend their actions by stating that they have never met any of the people that they chat with on these dating sites in person.

All it has ever been was an online interaction.

They make this out to be harmless.

It isn’t harmless.

Despite some of these relationships staying online, an emotional affair is afoot.

An emotional affair is still cheating, irrespective of whether the parties involved ever meet in person.

Many a time, an emotional affair does lead to a physical affair.

A boyfriend that brushes off his activity on a dating site as nothing serious is being disingenuous.

This is serious.

Serious enough that breaking up with him for this behavior is absolutely justifiable.
