It sounds like one of those damned-if-you-do, damned-if-you-don't situations. He probably would've gotten mad anyway had you told him the truth at the time, and I personally would have done the same as you--if nothing happened, there was really no need to tell him and plant the idea that maybe he did have a reason to worry. Why is he so mad, anyway? Does he think you're not telling him the truth about nothing happening with these other guys? From my perspective, your boyfriend comes off as very insecure and I'm not sure that that's something I'd want to deal with. I don't know either of you so I can't really say whether you should forget him or not, because you all may click really well and things may be hunky-dory except for this little situation. All I'm saying is be careful...I dated a guy once who liked checking my email, but he didn't stop there--he actually wrote to the people I was getting emails from to see if I was "behaving." It turns out he had deeper issues that I couldn't help him with, but it may not be the same case with your guy. The first thing that comes to mind is to have a serious talk with him so that both of you can air your insecurities and hopefully get past that. I don't know...does anybody else have any good ideas?
