Does sharing his passcode mean the letter writer’s boyfriend can now be trusted not to lie about talking to his exes?
I found out that my partner was lying to me about talking to ex-girlfriends and some other things. He gave me the passcode for his phone in an act of openness but now has his phone with him all the time. I am at a loss as to whether I ask him to check it, or whether I’m just supposed to trust him going forward because he gave me the code?
Let’s say you check his phone every day for the next 10 years. You find nothing. Will you trust him again? When? After Month 1 of finding nothing? Year 3? Year 9, but only if he’s good about remembering your birthday?You are wracked with doubt and suspense. That is no kind of life. And, again, no amount of phone-checking will fix it.Only two things will: 1. Trusting the people in your life. 2. Trusting yourself to handle it if someone breaks that trust.
