my boyfriend is flirting with other girls?
Hello I am an international student from japan, and my boyfriend(white american) and I have been together for a year. We are both 21!
i just found out that my boyfriend said "Damn gurl" to his ex (they were not dating, but they had sex and used to hang out a lot) on facebook. (There are many picture of her on her page, and she is pretty) Also, I saw my boyfriend told her "i love you OO Have a good night" in front of me when we were at his ex's bye bye party. (she transferred to a university) is that normal in America that a guy tells his ex "I love you," ???
I was so upset because I know that they had sex before, and he thinks she is pretty. My boyfriend has so many boy and girl friends, and he tells all his close friends(including girls) "I love you" when he gets drunk. I don't feel comfortable with that.
When I found out that he wrote "Damn gurl." on his ex's profile picture , I was thinking about this all day, and I couldn't top crying. I thought he still liked her. I was just so sad. I told him i feel like he is not the right person to be with right now, and he said he really really loves me, and he doesn't want to break up with me. He was really sorry because he never thought I would feel like the way I do right now.
He says I am the only girl he really loves, and he wants to make our relationship more stronger. Also he wants to find a place to live together soon when we are ready to move.... But I just don't understand why he said "I love you" and "Damn gurl." to the girl. He still likes her?
I just want the reason why he said that. My boyfriend told me that she was still his friend, and he thought he would never seen her again, so he said "I love you" to her. Is this normal in America??
All the American culture is totally different than Japanese culture, so I'd like to know everyone's opinion... I'm not good at writing in English >< Sorry for the confusing explanation... You all have a good night :-)
Thank you guys so much for all the answers! We live in California. I'm going to talk to him tonight, and I'll decide what I need to do for both of us. All the answers really helped me! After I read all the answers, I cried like a baby last night!hah but I feel much better! Thank you so much again! :)

Good enough this is a little hard considering i've now not been in the problem but a buddy of mine has so let me see..... I think that he'll still flirt but more often than not no longer as so much however with you being so involved about it then i do know that even if you see him or hear of him speaking to an extra lady you're going to get involved and jealous so i feel that it is going to be a challenge. It can be particularly hard for men and women to vary and so they do not change over night if you already know what i mean. Boys are really rough to alter but if he says he doesn't comprehend when he's flirting then he's now not telling the truth. He's making a excuse however i think that you just must work with him on it in the beginning like inform him while you see him flirting but if it continues i say leave him by myself due to the fact you do not need to be with any one who's a liar and a flirt.

You need to be happy, long term, with what ever decision you make. If him acting like this makes you unhappy then you have to tell him. If he does not stop acting in ways that make you sad then you should not stay with him. You deserve to be happy, but you have to put yourself in situations that make you happy. At your age, you are both still very young and have so much time. Don't rush things.
Out of respect for you and the relationship the two of you are in he should keep control over what he says and does to other girls... if he really wants to make the relationship stronger.
I do not want to tell you that you guys will not stay together because you are young because there are many people who do stay together. I am concerned for you because you are both still young and you may need to experience more things on your own before being in such a serious relationship. Only you can truly decide what is right for you.
If you both try to work things out and stay together, that is great. But if things do not work out then that will be fine too. You will have learned and grown and know more about what you do and do not want in a relationship.
The most important thing to ask yourself is if you are happy, really happy. If not, then that is your answer.

Well most americans say that and mean it in a friendly way. I know how most asian cultures work (ive been datin a Filippina girl for over a year and a half now) and they are really different. If he wasnt going to see her again than he most likely said it in a friendly way. As for the post on facebook, could it be a possibility that he was drinking? If he was i would encourage him to stop and if he loves you the way he says then he should try to stop for you, but support him cuz i know from experience that drinking is not easy to stop. I hope this works for you and helps you, i know it must be hard moving across the world and i wish you the best of luck:) welcome to america:) p.s. Do you guys live on the east or west coast? Cuz they are a whole totally different species of people (not literally). This answer is based on the west coast

I tell all my friends (ex's, guys, girls) I love them too. People in America do say 'I love you' very often, even when they don't mean it sometimes.
The 'Damn gurl' comment was a bit excessive but I don't think you should have broke up with him for that.

NO! that is not ok i dont believe him when he says he wont see her again if he had sex with her and is telling her "daaaam girl" means he still finds her attractive you seem like u relay love him but i wouldn't trust him with her if i were you u should make him cut all cords with her erase her number block her from facebook nothing what so ever if u want to be on the safe side.That's my opinion that's what i would do.

No, that's not common in America. He doesn't have respect for you. I think he still hook with his ex. He had sex with her, friend don't have sex. Don't belief what he says, just look at his action. You deserve better. Don't waste time with this guy, he want to have the cake and eat it.

He could've meant that comment to his ex as something casual, but still... he shouldn't of said that!
However, you already know he finds her attractive but he must also think you're pretty too :)
I'd just tell him to stop being so horny.

no.. it's not "normal" exactly. however, here in america people can act very different.. so it really just depends on his personality on if it's normal or not.
