Can I trust my online lover when he says he's not talking to anyone else?

DEAR DEIDRE: CAN I trust my online lover?

I’m 19 and he’s 24. We met on a dating site two years ago, but he was still talking to other girls, and saying he wanted to meet up with them.

He promises he isn’t doing that any more, but I’m not sure.

The problem is I live in England and he lives in Wales, so we only phone and message each other.

DEIDRE SAYS: The problem with online dating is that it’s easy to swipe to the next person.

Plus, you’re in a long-distance relationship, which means you don’t get to see each other much, and so communication and trust are particularly important.

If you’re feeling insecure you need to be honest and discuss the future. One of you may need to move.
