I snooped through my girlfriend’s phone as I thought she was cheating on me
DEAR DEIDRE: IS it OK that I snooped through my partner’s phone because I think she cheated on me?
I’m 31 and my partner is 24. We’ve been together for just over six months.
When we got together I went through her phone as I’d been cheated on before. I found nothing.
However, I looked again recently and found she was meeting an old friend.
She’s admitted she once had feelings for this friend, but he was engaged then.
I asked about him recently and she denied having feelings for him.
Two days later she’d erased all her texts with him.
How do I deal with this?

DEIDRE SAYS: It’s hard to trust a partner when you have been let down before.
But jealousy can also push people away.
Your best path is to ask her to be open with you.
But unless you have real evidence she is cheating, I would never condone snooping like this.
My support packs Looking After Your Relationship and Understanding Jealousy will help.
