In Need of help

Needing help. I have been with my boyfriend for a year and a half. I was married before and had two boys and he was in a relationship with another woman and has a girl and we have a 6 month old boy together. While I was pregnant his ex girl the mother of his daughter got my number and called me and said that my boyfriend told her that he wanted me to have an abortion and she told me that he had called her and told her that he wanted to be with her and that my boyfriend and her where still sleeping together. I talked to him about it and he denied it and said she was nothing but a liar. So I trusted him and ignored her. We then had the phone shut off so she wouldn't call. After I have are son I find out that my boyfriend has lied to me 3 times when it come to his ex and all he will say is it was to do with his daughter. Now I cant stand it and it is driving me nut and I am hurt. I know I and always yelling at him when he has contact with her. What can I do? Please help. Thanks

Hmmm... it's possible this guy is cheating on you with your ex, but if I had to lay bets I'd say the ex is making all this up, and she's a jealous b1tch who hates seeing her ex- being happy with someone new and wants to split you up because she is under some deluded belief that they can get back together.  Or maybe she doesn't want back together, but just can't stand to see him with someone else.  I could be wrong, but that's my guess.

People lie for all sorts of reasons, not just cheating.  I don't know the circumstances, or what he lied about, but it's entirely plausible that he lied just because he didn't want to get you upset or angry, given how you already feel about his ex.  I don't think it was right that he lied to you, but he could have genuinely been trying to protect you.  You need to let him know that you'd prefer to hear the truth, always, even if it upsets you, than have him lie to you to protect you.  In the long run the lies hurt more, as you've found out.

You have a kid with this guy, so I wouldn't rush to leave unless you were a lot more sure that he was cheating, and even then not until you'd had a go at patching the relationship up.

Well, they DO have a daughter together, so they must stay in contact with each other.  His ex could be lying, telling you things just to get you to break it off with him, so that she can have him back.  That is a possibility.  If you don't trust him, then you need to break it off.  Period, end of story.
