Are all men like this ?

I have been with my boyfriend for almost three years . Basically from the moment we met we knew we wanted to spend the rest of our lives together . I graduated college and moved in with him .

I was very upset and all the insecure feelings returned . The worse part was that he denied it was his - UM - Okay ... He still denies it to this day , though I don ’ t see what the point is . Another few months have gone by and I recently checked our internet history just out of curiosity because he hasn ’ t wanted sex lately and it has been
