I found out that my gf is lying

So, first of all, let me give you the backstory. Me and my gf has been together for 3 years. Before those 3 years, I have never been jealous of my past gfs friends. I was fine with her having her own friends and such and it did not really bother me. But then, I dated my current gf, who is also my best friend. We have many mutual friends, some who are even crushing on her, which I at first was bothered, but I let it slide. Over that one year however, her(and mine) friends, 4 in particular who liked her started flirting with her. She said she was oblivious by this, even though her friends patted her head etc, not in a friendly gesture, but sweet gesture, and he even did this while I was there. Maybe this seems fine, but in my city, that means something more. Its just the norm and everyone knows it. So i told my friend about this and my gf to. My gf was clearly bothered with this and my friend protested that he does not like her.

Okay, so I took a step back and became passive for quite some time, and evantually, 2 of my friends actually tried to take my gf away by threatening her to leave me, other wise theyd go away. My gf chose both of us, and this kinda stirred some unsettling vibes when we hangout. So I decided I needed to take a break from all the tension and told my gf. So we parted ways for some time even though still hanging out occasionally as a group. Over the course of this, I saw my friends obviously flirting and sneak some inappropriate moves on my gf, but we were on a break and I let it slide.

Eventually we got back together, but over that course, our friends did the same thing, and 2 of them(whom are older than me and my gf, hence rarely hangs out) asked her to dump me and tell her about their feelings. At this point it was just hurting too much and me and my gf decided this are not the type of friends we wanted. We cut ties with them. If they talk to her its fine, but I want her to at least tell me if they did, and not initiate contact if possible, and if necessary, talk to them as if theyre never friends(I know this is excessive, but Im just insecure that my "friends" who are even my "best friends" would come back and take her away behind my backs like they did years prior).

We agreed to this and everything was going smoothly, until she logged in to her IG on my phone and forgot to log out. I then got a notification from 2 of this so called "friends" and waited for her to tell me. Its to be noted that some of her friends also tried to make a move on me and I also report any interactions I had with them(that she does not like). She told me nothing tho even after I gave her my report. I gave hints etc and told her that honesty is best in a relationship. She said nothing. Whats worse is that she actually initiated one of the interactions. Now Im trying to confront her, but multiple times, she has put the blame on me for opening her dms messages etc even though she left it on my phone. How do I tell her that i know she is lying without causing too much problems, or if possible, without her knowing I accidentally opened her dms. I really love her and I do not want to choose "break" as an option a second time.

Oh my days.

How old are you all? This sounds like school stuff.

No one can "take your girlfriend" short of kidnapping her.

She appears to be willingly interacting which suggests she isn't that bothered about being with you exclusively.

All this "tell me when you're in touch" sounds stifling. And she's not told you because she's initiated it.

Split up, grow up. Have an adult relationship.

And your friends sound like tools too.

Windmillwhirl · 21/04/2019 11:21

I agree, you need to grow up. You have trust issues, sort them out on your own.

SandyY2K · 21/04/2019 11:21

I was also going to ask how old you are. It all sounds very childish.

SkinnyPete · 21/04/2019 11:21

Just break up properly already. What a shit relationship.

bigchris · 21/04/2019 11:22

Are you in a same sex relationship?

It all sounds way too intense

Windmillwhirl · 21/04/2019 11:26

, but I want her to at least tell me if they did

Jesus, how utterly controlling

bagpiss · 21/04/2019 11:32

I can't roll my eyes back far enough.
You both sound very young and this 'relationship ' doesn't work. Don't bother with a 'break' just end it. Move on.

ZeldaPrincessOfHyrule · 21/04/2019 11:37

I gave up at the bit where some friends said she had to leave you or choose them or something. Sorry, this is way more drama than adults should be perpetuating, you sound super immature so I'd back off until you're ready for a proper relationship instead of all this soap opera stuff. It sounds exhausting.

Dvg · 21/04/2019 11:46

|I agree this all sounds very childish and young

Nameusernameuser · 21/04/2019 11:59

You sound odd. She sounds isolated. Get a grip and let her go. None of this sounds healthy.

Most intrigued by a city where a head pat “means something more” where is this city? In case I ever visit and inadvertently dish out a dangerous head pat.

Middersweekly · 21/04/2019 12:09

I agree, this is all rediculously immature! Your GF loves attention and eggs on the ‘friends’ and your so called ‘friends’ are not really your friends. Meanwhile...you’re confidence is in the floor and your going crazy trying to control her behavior. If she wants to leave you for one of these friends, she will! You can’t stop her doing so!

DrMorbius · 21/04/2019 12:39

You are not in the UK, what country are you in?

Kaykay06 · 21/04/2019 15:42

Weird, are you 16?
Actually my 17 year old conducts his relationship and friendships in a more mature way.

Grow up and be an adult

Notwiththeseknees · 21/04/2019 18:11

OP, you know you are posting on Mumsnet, not Snapchat, yes?

SpamChaudFroid · 21/04/2019 19:37

I'm intrigued by the head pats too.

Haffiana · 21/04/2019 20:47

I would advise her to dump you. You sound completely unhinged.

CanuckBC · 22/04/2019 07:15

What country are you in?

LotsToThinkOf · 22/04/2019 07:42

I don't think either of you are mature enough to be in a relationship. Honestly, head patting and 'interactions'? Really? If I had to tell my
DH about all of my 'interactions' otherwise I was being dishonest then I wouldn't have time for much else.

You both need to grow up, you need to stop fixating on her as being your property and she needs to stop winding you up by being over familiar with friends.

Break up, you both have a warped sense of what a relationship is and you're ruining your lives.

Newmumma83 · 22/04/2019 07:54

I think this relationship is not going to survive long term.

It’s not what you want to hear but there is no trust.

Your girlfriend should Set boundaries with your friends about behaviour that is appropriate but having someone flirt with you is very powerful for that individual... the being desired by many.

On the same hand you are running risk
Of being controlling which is not healthy either.. this could be a side effect of the flirtation and it’s going to be toxic for you , as this is not a healthy way to
Be.

You May both have different levels of what is exceptable flirtation wise with others, my first love when I was 18 thought that it was perfectly fine to bump
And grind other girls ... I did not ... we didn’t last ... he married a woman that also thought the same as him but then she cheated on him ... we became friends for a short while about 8 years after the initial break up ( he moved away and I needed time to fall out of love with him ) i realised then he was a nice guy but he was just not the right person for me .. that behaviour would have turned me into a possessive type.

How does this relationship make you feel about you?
