Did I do something wrong?

Am I the -censored- for going through my girlfriends phone?

 

So yesterday I had walked with my now ex girlfriend to her job interview. It was a 45 min walk and it killed my legs but I did it to make her happy and be there for her. Fast forward to when we get there. She hands me her phone to play games on. A little bit of context before this, she had lied to me about her suspension so I was kinda having a hard time trusting her (trust issues lmao) So I go into her Microsoft teams (which is what i talk to her off of because I dont have a phone) I see another person in her messages so I go and look and I see them flirting and saying I love you to each other. So i took this guys contact and sent it to myself and deleted it from our messages once i saved it to my contacts. After that I get mad and storm off into the mcdonalds bathroom so I don't cause a scene while shes doing her interview. Then she walks in and repeatedly asks whats wrong because I was visibly pissed. 

   I proceeded to say nothing because I was just gonna let it go for the sake of our relationship. She then asked why I was lying to her. I said "So its not okay for me to lie to you but, you can lie to me repeatedly"

She then asked what I was talking about and I mentioned the "friend" in her phone and their conversations. She proceeded to tell me she didn't say any of those things, then she "blocked" him and said he meant nothing to her. 

Fast forward to 11:07 today. The guy finally responds and tells me "Yeah that's cool bro but why she had me as her Facebook status and not you" then she messages me and says me and her need to talk. (Proving that she unblocked him when I was out of view) 

we keep talking and she comes at me like I'm in the wrong. saying things like

"U think idk yall texted each other tf u doing going behind my back to do -crap-"

and "Yk what [Dead Name]  just bc ur unhappy in life don't mean u gotta -expletive- up mine"

I proceeded to tell her that she -toasted- up her own life by cheating and lying. 

It got to the point where I was so mad I was thinking of telling her whole family so she would get in trouble.

I still might consider it if she tries me.

Take several deep breaths and try to let go of anger.

I don't have much relationship experience outside of my current family....and nothing real before age 26.  But from what you describe, here's my take:

 

Your GF probably shouldn't be talking with somebody in a seemingly romantic manner behind your back.  But how far she has been going is kind of an unknown.  Perhaps there's an innocent explanation, perhaps there isn't.  You don't know.

 

She handed you her phone, so either she didn't think you'd go through it or she legitimately thinks she's being honest and has nothing to hide.  You don't know. 

 

So, there's two major unknowns and I sense quite a bit of anger and mistrust.  No matter who is right or wrong, does that sound like a healthy environment for either of you?  Since your first sentence mentions her as your now "ex" girlfriend, is that something you regret?  If she's not in your life in a romantic way, is there a need to continue feeling angry, or would it be better to find a way to move on and forgive?

Do you really need help answering this question?

After your statement, let's switch the situation where she doesn't trust you or your activities, and takes your phone you trusted her to play games on, and instead she decides while you ain't look'n to look into your private docs and copy paste whatever upset her then delete the evidence...

Doesn't sound good, no matter the context. So many questions... Yes, there's a lot of unknown/unmentioned stuff but if you don't trust her about something to the point you feel it necessary to resort to seeking peeks into her private stuff without her permission to do so...dude what you doing?

sorry dear but I vote with her. not sure if she was up to something or not but you seriously violated her privacy n then you didn't confront her but downplayed it, after you had acted upon it? way out of bounds. if she was caught with him inside her, that's still discuss able but such à deep breach of trust n privacy...sorry. you stepped way over the line in my opinion. 

now you wonder why she doesn't want to talk? really?

good luck

Well, I was married to my second wife and the relationship was obviously going south. We were still together, but just barely. 

One day while cleaning house (I did all the cleaning), I found a notepad under the couch with an unfinished "love letter" to someone. I read it and was horrified, the letter was explaining how she was trapped and being held in the relationship by a violent control freak that had beaten her many times and she was even afraid to go to the police. She was asking "him" to come "handle" the situation when he gets out of prison. 

I made a copy of it and placed it back under the couch where I found it. 

That night I made dinner and served her plate like normal, then placed a copy of the letter on the table with her dessert. 

She got up and destroyed the notepad and copy, then demanded to know if I had made more copies. She then started running around the house breaking things and was calling 911. This whole time I just sat calmly at them table. 

Police arrived and I was arrested for domestic violence, and then told I could not return to my house. 

We were both looking to end then relationship, and I didn't really know how. 

That little escapade of hers did the trick just fine. 

Her soon to be new husband did come looking for me when he got out of prison, I did survive the encounter.

Their marriage didn't, and she ended up alone. 

Needless to say, I have never hit a woman in my life. In fact I don't hit anyone unless it's self defense. The entire thing was a figment of her imagination, except for me being a "clean freak". 

At least that crazy lying weirdo is gone.

I'm a firm believer in giving it everything I got. There are some things that aren't mentioned. It seems like therapy should've been the go to. Always remember fast to listen and slow to anger. I don't know exactly how things were between you and her but things weren't always bad otherwise it would've ended sooner. The other guy doesn't care about you so he could say a lot of false things. Has she done something similar to this before? Have you not made her feel appreciated and loved? Women crave attention, passion and  desire to name some. We need reassurance. I guess what I'm trying to say there is a lot missing.

I'm sorry that sounds terrible, but big difference is you both were married and you were cleaning( good partners help in keeping the house, not your fault she couldn't properly put her private letters away), so you're fine. Your actions were very reasonable and you tried to talk to her first...like an rational adult should.

It's very different to happen upon documents while cleaning, then actively looking through a person's stuff for dirt, especially on their private phone.

Birdie, 

you rock girl. sorry you went through that but I think your confronting her and asking was fine. her réaction was odd but hey. good for you.

 

rowantheboat, dear, this is different, see if you would have told your girl you know I um went to use the phone n noticed something I wanted to ask about maybe ok..but when she asked why didn't you speak up? oh well..spilled milk love.

Hi,

 

This is quite a strange situation. I mean shes texting someone else behind your back but then at the same time she gives you her phone so that you can pass the time and play games.

 

You went through your partners phone which is not exactly cool. I am trying not to be judgemental but for whatever reason you did go looking through it and decided to see whats up and found what you did.

 

Now the thing that is sort of swirling around in my mind is that

a)she either trusted you enough to give you her phone showing trust

b) or she kinda wanted to get caught???

 

We're humans and we make mistakes. There were times when my ex-wife trusted me with her phone and I did end up snooping around a couple of times. I never really did find anything that would suggest shes cheating or doing / saying anything behind my back that would hurt our marriage. Of course it ended because of several other issues that we had but that's not the topic at hand. So I won't beat you to death and blame you for getting curious because a lot of us are guilty of it.

 

Now subconsciously we humans also tend to sabotage ourselves many times. Maybe her side of it was that in her mind she was unhappy but was not being open and upfront with you about it. That still doesn't make going behind your back right but again human nature is such that even if we understand that things could go south we take that risk and jump into things head first without thinking of the repercussions or who gets hurt in the process. So we start to build up this sort of "mirage" (thats what i like to call it) inside our head that this is right and its what I want. Then you have to lie to get out if it. The whole "it didn't mean anything" line is the classic line a cheater utters. Why say it at all if it didn't mean anything? And the fact that she has to abuse you later on is again another classic trait of a cheater when they get confronted and caught.

 

But from the beginning of your message I take it that this relationship no longer exists so I'd say its good for you. She might think its a relief to be done with you but Karma is a bitch. She rears her ugly head at a time when people least expect. What goes around will eventually come around.

 

Stay strong and I hope you find happiness with someone who cares.

      On the way back to her desk she was interrupted by six short, urgent conversations that had to be attended to. Then she slipped into the women's room and locked the stall door.  She took a deep breath, then another, and allowed herself to shake for five minutes,  Then deep breathing, ten in and ten out, stretch up, touch the floor, neck rolls and she was fine. She used the toilet and a woman knocked and said, "Taylor, are you okay?"   "Ready to conquer the world!"  on her way out she found her makeup was fine.  Three stalls, two sinks.  If she ever designed a women's room with three stalls, there would be four sinks, with plenty of space to plunk your stuff down between them.   She met a deferential Karen.  "Here is the branding I came up with," she said.  And she went back to working as hard as Brenda and Mary, who looked up worriedly and then went back to the proposal.   Shortly before 5:00 she received an email with the title Consolidation and Compensation.  In it she learned that the position of office manager was eliminated, and the current office manager was to become the chief executive officer. The former CEO, along with the CFO, the chief legal officer, and sundry staff, had been terminated, per the Board of Directors.  Effective immediately everyone would receive a base salary of $20,000 with a commission to be set by the individual's supervisor.  Each supervisor would be given a certain percentage to distribute.  Most functions they had been handled would be outsourced as needed.   "The question of what profit was made last year is frequent enough to be answered.  The company lost over 500,000 in fiscal 2023.  At this point further cuts are not anticipated.  We will be strategically adding positions that will enhance our profits. Hard work is expected of everyone."   Her two web guys had been complaining because their games had been remotely uninstalled.  After the memo came out they were absolutely silent.  That gave her an idea, and after an exchange of emails they were reassigned to maintenance out at the plant, effective tomorrow morning.  There were lots of weeds that needed pulling, if nothing else. That email went out after they left early, for the day.  The maintenance foreman was a no-nonsense type who did not tolerate slacking, and they would learn a thing or two.  This also freed up two spaces for her to put new people.

      So…I didn’t know your Facebook avatar was public. So, on my birthday, a couple people used a group avatar message to wish me a happy birthday…and now my Facebook friends can see a short video of my female avatar dancing with an old friend’s and another with my uncle’s avatars. So am I “Facebook out” now? 😬

      No, they are not. Truth wins in the end and this report is full of lies that poison the whole thing: see this: "Dr. Cass Backpedals From Review: HRT, Blockers Should Be Made Available it's said. Dr. Cass's latest statements are likely to cast more doubt on the validity of the study, which has come under fire for disregarding substantial evidence on trans care." https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/dr-cass-backpedals-from-review-hrt?publication_id=994764&post_id=143743897&isFreemail=true&r=rebf4&triedRedirect=true I hope Dr. Cass wins The Mengele Award for it.

      By which I mean there is a cultural stereotype of what a man is, and one of what a woman is.  Even worse, of what a transgender person is.   You be you.   I read of a boy who thought he was a girl because he did not adhere to some (rather toxic) conceptions of what it means to be a man, so he decided he was a girl.  He was told he didn't have to conform to stereotype and got happy. "You mean I don't have to transition?" He didn't want to, and was relieved.   Once upon a time if you were transgender they told you either you transition or die.   Incorporate the best of what it means to be a man and the best of what it means to be a woman as much as you possibly can, and let the rest go.  Be fully human. Be alive. Don't conform to some cultural crud.

      Except for this thung thwister: Theophilus Thistle, the successful thistle sifter, in sifting a sieve full of unsifted thistles, thrust three-thousand thistles through the thick of his thumb. Now if, Theophilus Thistle, the successful thistle sifter, in sifting a sieve full of of unsifted thistles, thrust three-thousand thistles through the thick of his thumb, how many thistles can'st thou thrust through the thick of thy thumb . . . in sifting a sieve-full of unsifted thistles? Success to the successful thistle sifter!

      You have given you and us a big clue right there.  I hope you have shared this observation with your Endocrinologist and are willing to take their advice about changing that behavior.    Non prescribed herbal or animal supplements can have a negative effect on your body's use of your available hormones.  Also, your genetics are going to be controlling what your body is going to do with your hormones, and again, that is for you to consult with your Endocrinologists.  On this site none of us are licensed medical personnel and we cannot give you advice on your health more than what your doctor can.  We have rules that we enforce against our members advising about "Folk Remedies" because we have had members who have gone that route and badly damaged their health and quality of life.  Only thing I can go anywhere on, is that maybe if you change your expectations of what should happen, you will at least not be in danger of harming yourself from anxiety.

      Hi lovely people,   I'm a 25 yo MtF woman, and I've been suffering from low estrogen issues since October 2023. I completely lost my feminine libido, my breast completely stopped growing, my estrogen levels dropped by a lot (despite NOT decreasing my E dosage) and thus my dysphoria drastically increased. I think it is worth mentioning that, for my health issues, I had been taking ----- Lamotrigine for months & had been on ketogenic diet, and these things seem to be a culprit of my current issue. I weaned off Lamotrigine some time ago and gave up on keto diet, but it still doesn't seem to help. My estrogen is still low (44 ng/ml) and my libido hasn't come back yet. In general, I struggle with my dysphoria so much because of that and, to be honest, I don't know what to do. I've tried so many dietary supplements, yet I didn't get any effects from them. My endocrinologist didn't know how to help me. She only suggested to increase my daily estrogen dose (to 3x per day ------sublingual estrogen tablets and 3x per day ------ estrogen gel applied to armpits or thighs), which I did, without any effect.   Please, help me. Prior to keto diet & Lamotrigine treatment, I'd never had experience like that. I'm basically helpless and have no clue what to do. Having to deal with low estrogen is a horrible experience to me and it affects my life severely.   BTW, my T levels are always within female range.   Do you have any clue what exactly I should do?

      One of our cats is polydactyl.  He has 7 toes on each front paw and 5 on each back paw, for 24 toes total.   Another one, an ex-feral who, at the time, was free to roam, climbed 50 feet up a tree without having any thought about how he was going to get down.  His pal climed down backwards, but he couldn't.  He ended up coming down by leaping from branch to branch.  Which nearly gave us heart attacks, because he only has one eye and therefore has no depth perception.   The other ex-feral (both are now indoor cats) obviously does not have those soft pads on his feet.  At night, when we are in bed, we can hear him stomping around the house.

      The two o'clock Onshoring meeting was going well.  Taylor was leading, inviting other people up to speak on their specialties. Aerial photogrammetry and surveying, including the exact boundary, were out for contract signature  Gibson had handled that - Manufacturing was supposed to, but somehow hadn't happened.  Legal issues from Legal. Accounting reported on current costs, including all upkeep, guard salaries, etc.  Manufacturing was supposed to give those numbers, but they hadn't.   The downside was the VP of Manufacturing.  He had arrived at the meeting red-faced, his tie askew, clutching a bottle. It smelled strongly of vodka. He had never done anything in his twenty years of being VP of Manufacturing, and he did not like being asked now.   "Mr. ----, do you have the inventory we asked for?" Taylor asked politely.  VP Gibson had asked him to have his people go through the plant and not only inventory but assess the operational status of every piece of equipment.  They needed to know what they had. "I'm not going to take any f---- orders from a g-d- tra---," he snarled. "God knows what kind of perverts it has dragged into our fair city and bangs every night." "That is completely out of line." That was Gibson.  Taylor controlled herself.  That was a shot at Bob, not just at Taylor.  She was glad Bob was not there to do something stupid.  Had Mrs. McCarthy been talking? What had she said?  Was she given to embellishment?  Taylor took a deep breath. "I'm not sorry.  You f--- can take this stupid onshoring --- and shove it up your -" "That is quite enough."  This was the head of HR. "You can take your sissy ways and sashay -" "You are fired." "You can't fire me." "Oh, yes I can," said the office manager.  The VP took another swig from his bottle. "Try it."  He looked uncertain. "I will have you removed.  Are you going to leave on your own?  I am calling the police to help you leave." And he dialed the number. He stomped out cursing. They heard him noisily go down the hall.  This was the front conference room.  He actually went through security and out the door, throwing his badge on the ground on his way.  The guard picked it up. They could see this through the glass wall. "Can you fire a VP?" "The Board told me that if anyone gives me problems they should be shown the door. Even a VP.  I can fire everyone here. I won't, of course. Those were problems." "Are you alright, Taylor?" She nodded.  "I've heard worse.  Shall we continue?" And they did.   The last item was that certain business people in China had been arrested, and the corporation that had been supporting them all these years had been dissolved.  They were on their own, and the Board was dead serious on straightening things out.  After this meeting, Taylor believed it.  She did not attend the meeting to discuss how to distribute the few duties the VP of Manufacturing had done.  That was ultimately up to the Board.
