the facts:

 

My BF is 23.

 

Before he met me, he met a girl online. they never met in person. They talk on the phone sometimes. The email occassionally. They have had online sex. They no longer do. They talk about other things. He cares for her. She is 17.

 

I'm 31. I think it was wrong of him to engage a minor online. He admits that was not right. However, he will continue their friendship. He says she's mature-the valedictorian of her school and a national debate champ. But I feel funny about their friendship and think these details are excuses. I was also quite capable at 17--but my father would have been horrified if a 23 year old man were friends with me. My BF says he would feel fine with me being friends with people from high school. I think the notion is rediculous. But these are different times then when I was 17. soooo....

 

What's wrong here? Am I being silly? should i ask to be introduced? or let it be?

i do not mean to rain on your parade, but what makes you think they still do not have phone sex?

 

My 1st bf was 23 and I was 18 and we made it 5 yrs...is your man immature?If she is such a smarty pants, maybe they are on the same level.

i think he's quite mature for his age. i mean, somethings come out that make me realize that he is young--but we talk about everything.

 

to answer your question--he says they don't have online sex anymore. that's how i know.

And my ex "said" that he did not cheat and "said" that he was with his family when he was with her and "said" that he no longer talked to his ex.

 

If you trust him 100%, I would worry nothing about it then. Sounds like you do, but would you be posting if you really did?

 

If you do, then just let it go and trust that you know your man. You know best. Good luck. From expereince, if you drop it, really drop it. No more questions or digs.
