    Both my partner and I haver been guilty of being unfaithful to each other in the past. We both want to have a relationship together but it is hard to get trust back. I have offered to switch cell phones to prove that I have not been contacting anyone but she will not. I can hear her cell beep that she is receiving texts but she will not forward them to me to see who they are. Also she will not answer her phone when out with her friends. We are trying to hae a long distance relationship at this point.Is it wrong of me to ask her to do this as I have offered? We have to start building trust some where

    Forwarding you her texts is not a way to build trust. It’s a way to show you DON’T trust her. 🙁 What you’re asking her to do is to act like a child who CAN’T be trusted — even if it’s a mutual agreement, sending each other all of your texts is a crazy way to take away each others’ privacy.

    And as for her not answering her phone when she’s out with friends — can’t you just wait until she gets home to talk to her? Or are you checking up on her to make sure she’s not doing something she shouldn’t be doing — because you don’t trust her? 😕

    Trust means giving your girlfriend the freedom to live her life in a trustworthy manner, and same for her with you. If you can’t do that, then you’re with the wrong person. The way to start building trust again is to understand why the infidelities occurred and to work on the circumstances that led to those infidelities. It requires a lot of self introspection and courage to share and allow sharing with your partner.

    I hope that helps! I know you’re feeling uncomfortable in this situation, but the deal you’ve cut regarding texts being forwarded isn’t going to help. 😳
