New Relationship: Possible Cheating Don't know what to Think

Hi Everyone,

I found out a day before my 21st birthday that my girlfriend of almost 6 months was sending explicit sexual text messages to a Hawaii number. She took an off campus study term in Hawaii during Jan 2024 for 5 weeks. The texts were very graphic and described sexual acts that had occurred between them, staying that they missed having sex with each other and things like that. She also referred to this other person as baby and other pet names that she usually calls me.

I confronted her about it and the explanation that she gave me is that before we met she was providing an Online Girlfriend Experience where she would essentially get paid to a virtual girlfriend with pictures, video calls, text messages, etc just not meeting up in person. She said that she did it throughout summer 2023. She stopped once we started dating.

She was not getting paid by this Hawaii number during the last 3 months of sending texts. What really irks me is that I had to found out by reading the text messages and that she hid this from me. She said that she has never met up with this person in real life. I want to believe her but I just do not know what to think.

Overall, just feeling a mix of overwhelming emotions right now. Don't know what is going to happen in the future. One day at a time.
