The big question before we go any further is. Were you sitting next to her when she was texting someone. What in the text message made you think oh she is being inappropriate. Or was she being sneaky about it?

I only ask because I do have two ex flings who lasted a few days but we remained friends because I was back packing at the time. My partner knows that he can go on my phone anytime and I never restrict access to it. If he wonders who someone is I'm talking to I tell him.

Being secretive naturally makes someone think you're doing something wrong.

It's also possible that you over reacted for no reason to someone knew. I do still find it odd though that she changed her privacy settings. Are there any red flags, does she make less effort with you, see you less, or feel distant?

yeah feel her distant , and the only time when she text with me was after i found she cheat...i cant even said cheat it was just text , and that almost destroyed me cuz i really didnt though she can text with someone else in that way i cryed like a baby and after 1h she received a text and she respond back , same guy so thats the main reason i ask , if she did that after how i can expect to feel the same for me

Hello OP
Sorry to hear about your problems.
Sadly, in my experience/knowledge, being secretiveness about your mobile, laptop etc means one thing and one thing only = cheating.

I'm not saying your GF is cheating, only she knows the truth.

It's a tricky situation. Often cheats will play on the fact you don't trust them and they drove you to it.

Like I said it's hard all round.

Have you noted any other changes like, EG, going out a bit more, staying out a bit more, working longer hours even if 30 mins or so and meeting up with a so-called friend more than usual because their so-called friend is feeling low etc? If not, then I feel nothing is going on but if she remains cold, IMHO there is a reason that equates to more than just her being upset by your actions.

Your choice, ask her outright by saying how you feel, apologise and ask her to be open and honest if she wants to move on as deciet hurts a lot more the longer it carrys on.

Bottom line your choice. Poss ask your parents what they think and all good parents will never tell anyone if you asked them not to where as so-called friends do

I hope it works out for you and it will one way or another.

Good luck.

ps - you are young I'm safely guessing, so sort it out as you do not deserve it and if gf feels she is too good for you, trust me, you are tooooooo good for her.

ok , we have a son , my step son but love him like mine and i know that she know that thats the only thing for sure , so she say bad things about his dad, dont blame her but its not my problem to say nothing , and 2 days ago found out she sent him a pic of our sex toys...im so embarresed saying that , but it was feeling wrong and after a big argument i ask her her phone she said no , i just ask her to test it , i never watch on her phone or i will its like her purse but the day after i was feeling low and sad and she offered me her phone to stop this and overreact but look she could delete or hide a lot of things anyway im trying to say it like big red flag for me

ps: im 28 she s 24 , when she met she was saying im too good for her , saddly i think im changed and maybe im not to good for her , thanks for reply
