Just gonna say it.

So, like, the problem I'm seeing it is not really that he is in the "wrong." You asked him, he was honest (we are assuming, though there is absolutely no absolutely when it comes to people telling the truth), and he's sticking to his guns. I would say, yes, this is typical male behavior and this causes the most trouble for the girls in the pictures. So I think we can all agree that if this is a matter of "faithfulness" that while the situation looks relatively sketchy, this certainly does not mean he is cheating or likely to cheat, as he is in fact telling you that he does something that boys typically do. Even if he had a wank to the photos here and there, I don't think this would be a big deal by most people's standards.

The issue with it that *I* see is just, like, this whole thing about showing off girls who TRUSTED him with photos like that to OTHER guys is totally lame. I think these are symptoms of a boy, not a man, though of course I don't know how old you two are. But like, he doesn't respect them, dude. And if he doesn't respect them, it's A: Likely that he might not respect you for the long-term, or B: He's one of those guys who thinks that like because he has connected more deeply with you, you have somehow "earned" his almighty, holy respect by being a virtuous woman or meeting his own specific standards, instead of considering the fact that he's a P.O.S. for breaching very intimate trust that these girls, if freely, were willing to give to him for his wanking and whatnot. Sure, the girls could have been more careful, because this is a thing that typically happens, and sure, they could have been smarter by expecting this; but even this kind of logic dictates that your boyfriend falls into this category of men that you can ASSUME will partake in such behavior. I'd say if he was secure in himself, he wouldn't need to show his guy friends all the chicks he's banged to elevate his status. So, what I'm saying is, under typical examination, you don't need to assume that he's cheating on you, but the fact that you have found yourself in this situation due to his loose morals speaks volumes about his character or lack there of and if it were me, I'd move along. I mean, you could try to express this to him and reach a conclusion, but telling someone that their actions have revealed to you elements of who they are that you really don't care for is a painfully honest and often percievably offensive thing to do; not to mention tacking on the fact that if they would just tweak this personality flaw, you could then manage to sustain the relationship.

But you know. That's just me. Is what a person less convicted in their views and moral codes would say HA GOT YOU!

No, but really. You should always do what your judgement tells you to. And that's my final word on it. I hope things go well for you.
