Dear Lady. Ann:
I am a 30-year-old female who has been in a relationship with my 33-year old boyfriend for 21/2 years. We met on a dating site and talked for two weeks before we finally met in person. Our relationship is great, my family loves him, and he gives me anything I ask him for. My only problem with my boyfriend is that he won’t delete his ex-girlfriend’s number from his phone.
When we met, he lied to me about his past relationship and how long he had been single for. When he finally confessed the truth to me, I left him and broke off the relationship. A few weeks went by and he came to my house and told me he loves me and wants to be with me. I love him very much so I took him back. Afterward, I found out he cheated on me with his ex-girlfriend multiple times AFTER we got back together. I forgave him and stayed with him because he told me he would completely stop talking to her.
A few days ago I found out he is still talking to her and they are very friendly with each other. I asked him about it, and he told me there is nothing going on and I am just making things up. He has locked me out of his phone and refuses to let me see his phone. I also found out that he changed the name of his ex-girlfriend on his phone to throw me off, but he won’t delete her number or stop talking to her.
Lady. Ann, should I leave him to continue talking with his ex-girlfriend? Should I stay? Why won’t he delete her number?

#DLATribe, do you think he is still cheating on her? Should she break it off or stay with him?
