Ever checked your partner's phone? If so what did you find?

I have a high self pity story about this that I absolutely hate. One, I don't know why I checked the phone but once I did, I found her conversation with a guy where she is discussing about how she can choose to keep me on a hook, take advantage of me as I don't have any other options. That whole conversation was such a trauma for me that although it has been 6 months since I read it, I still get furious and frustrated every time I think of it.

This will become a life long trauma if you don't see a therapist and sort it out. It will not only be psychological for now, but also may come in physical form later. I've been there and even 10 yrs post a similar incident like yours, i feel the jitters when the same thought comes across and my current gf ia involved.

Did you see a therapist? How did that help you?

You mentioned your current gf is involved? I didn't get that part.

Hope you left her. Also what was her reaction to these messages?

Both of us knew it'll not last cause she had to change the city after some time, so yeah I didn't leave her but it ended

Also I never told her that I saw those messages.

Sad to hear but understand you deserve much better. Girls like these are easy to find so go for someone who's actually desirable.
Also consider yourself lucky to have found her true self, else, imagine getting married to someone like this.

So back in 2015 i was joking with my then gf saying "I'll check your phone" and i was fast scrolling her WhatsApp infront of her. I stopped when i saw her ex's name. She said "i still love you" to him. I started crying and almost broke up but then gave her a chance. 2 months later, i see her getting close to another guy and then I gave up. She'd deny that this new guy and her were nothing. After i broke up with her, she started dating him.

Fast fwd, my current gf and I had an argument and she asked me to check her phone to be sure. As soon as i held her phone, i started shivering and my heart was pounding. Everything from the past came back. Then i saw a therapist.

Once this sort of breach happens, please GO TO A Therapist AND PSYCH. 3 years later and even the slightest hint of something similar triggers a panic attack in me. Please please please go to a professional and get things sorted out early. You do not want to end up like me.

Even I'm looking for one. But man do these therapists charge a bomb!!!
I was checking profiles of some on practo and saw that the lowest charge is 1500 and can go as high as 6000 per session. What do they deliver there, ENLIGHTENMENT??!!🤣

Don't ever check again

Yeah I agree with you

But one part of me says that had I not seen the messages I would have never found out how absolute loser she used to think I was and how she treated me. So maybe I did myself good by checking??

I don't know if therapy helped me. I haven't healed completely that I'm sure of. You just need someone to talk to and an understanding partner who can change your viewpoint about these things

Walk away if there is a trust issue. This will keep you and other person happy. If you still continue your relation then one day it will break for sure
