A few days ago i got a little drunk and ending up texting an old guy friend a lot of x rated material. Later while sober i realized what i did. He will not stop texting me me x rated material now. My boyfriend and i have a plan together and he is the account holder. I told him i was receiving nasty messaging and asked him to change my number he said he will look into. He is extremely curious and wants to know what was being said. Will he since he is the account holder be able to get a written record of what was being said? Please do not answer if your not positive. I really need to prepare myself for what is going to happen!

The account holder should be able to request this information. However, it will require at least a court order. You should call the carrier to find out for sure what their particular procedure is and how much data is actually being captured.

I guess I'm an fogey when it comes to this sort of thing.
Text messages can be summoned by a court and seen, but that is part of an evidence-gathering process. I doubt that your other half would go that far. Even if he could and I don't see how since a crime hasn't been committed (yet?) (sorry), it would be terribly expensive.
I know that this ain't (nor am I) Ann Landers, but I've seen things like this blow up in friends' faces, either sooner or later. The right thing to do is to fully explain the circumstances to him and show him the messages and be done with it. That's better than living in fear that you'll eventually be found out (he could get your phone from you and look for himself, do you want that possibility?) or have him inadvertently find out at a bad time or place (as if there were a good time or place, I know). Yes, you stand to lose, under the circumstances. But you might lose either way, and again, sooner or later.
No one likes to hear this stuff and I wouldn't even bother, if I hadn't seen good friends split up or fall into tumult and chaos over things like this. It sucks, for real. And in most cases, it was the hiding and covering up the deeds that did the most harm in the long run (and yes, I've dealt with this with a unfaithful now-ex-wife, so I know). Only you can evaluate this situation and weigh the outcomes. And I'll say this, too, be careful about drinking. I suppose I could say something tacky like "at least you weren't driving" (were you? Never mind, don't need to know), but I won't.
I wish you the best of luck.

I probably should have clarified this a little better. The reason for the court order is that is absolves the company from any legal responsibilites from any circumstances that arise from the release of the information.
