My boyfriend is hiding things from me

I have been dating my boyfriend for 8 years now. We recently decided to move in together and rent an apartment back in Nov/08. Our sex life is great and we are overall happy with each other.

I was playing a game on his phone when I became curious and decided to look through his text messages to see what he talks about with friends. I found messages between my bf and a female friend of mine.

In one msg, he told her that there were "hot women" on a site he was working. In another msg, he told her that he went to see a movie by himself and that he was a loser for doing so. The truth was, he went to see the movie with ME and we had a great time together.

In addition, I was looking through pictures on his laptop (which we have been sharing for now) and I found three naked pictures of a celebrity, that were recently leaked onto the internet. The pictures were very explicit and I was upset that he actually saved them onto his laptop.

I confronted him about all of these things and I am just so worried that now that he knows I found out about these things, he is going to be even more secretive and better at hiding things from me.

He has apologized but it is still bothering me and I feel as though I don't trust him anymore. What should I do?
