So here’s the situation: I have a girlfriend and we’ve been together for 2 years. I started noticing that she had been acting differently since last month, so I followed my instincts and checked her cellphone. That’s when I found conversations between her and her ex.
One time, she told me she was going out to her friend’s house but I followed her and confirmed that she was actually meeting up with her ex-boyfriend while we were still together.
I tried to break up with her but she didn’t want to. She begged me to stay and promised that she would stop seeing her ex. I forgave her because I love her but now I feel like I’m no longer happy in our relationship.
My question now is, How do I build trust after being cheated on? How can I trust her again when what she did keeps replaying in my mind?
