Honestly, I don’t know why I decided to go through his phone but we were happily in a relationship for over 4 years. When he was asleep, his phone was unlocked and curiosity got the best of me to snoop. I understand that I shouldn’t have looked thru his phone without permission but I found many screenshots of other girls, half naked, booty pictures and all. Turns out he has a separate instagram account that he uses just to follow a bunch of attractive girls and saves their pictures. I confronted him and he said it was just eye candy and he doesn’t have any intention to cheat. Obviously, I’m upset about this and he ends up deleting all the pictures and the instagram account. He says he was stupid and would never do it again and wants me to forgive him. He even suggested to give me his phone passcode so I can look through his phone anytime just so I can trust him again. I feel betrayed and insecure but I don’t know if I should give him another chance just because he’s been really good to me and I wish I never went thru his phone in the first place.
edit: it was just saving and screenshotting sexual pictures, no messaging or speaking to these girls. Also, I should probably add that we live together and own a dog together so it’s really hard for me to just call it quits :(
