Is my boyfriend cheating? Help!

Rachelle
Weve been together for almost 8 months now. The first week in our relationship I found out he was texting other girls and sending pictures back and forth. It didn't matter much because it was the first week of our relationship. About 2 months into our relationship I found more messages but just between one girl and no pictures, but still the conversation was sexual. Now, 8 months down the road, I was using his phone for music in the shower and some girl messaged him. I opened it to say that he would text her back soon because I thought it was his cousin, but no. Another girl with some messages. Saying how we've been on and off for a while. But we haven't. His family always says how much he loves me and his step mom said he was thinking about getting a ring and says how he wants to marry me. But how much do I believe? What do I believe?
Is he cheating on me? How do I approach him to tell him it's bothering me? Do I ignore it and move on? Do I leave him? What do I do!?
