hello everyone, im new here. heres my question/problem.
me and my girlfriend have been dating for about 3 months now, this is our 3rd time dating and its working out amazingly accept for a few issues. i have suspicions that she is cheating on me. she swears that she isnt and i believe her 100% cause she never had done that to me or anyone at least to my knowledge. but theres still my suspicions. she never lets me see her phone, she occasionally has added miles on her car, and she is always texting someone even when we are together. i have asked her about this and she tells me to stop being nosy and that i need to trust her, and i do. but my suspicions are still there. i just cant seem to get them outta my head. any advice is appreciated. thanks
Additional info, added Sunday February 22 2009, 8:36 am: i forgot to say that im a 19 year old male.
i would also like to add that the 2 times we had talked about this situation, she got very defensive and said that i dont trust her and that she wouldn't do that to me. but one time i had gone thru her phone while she was sleeping (witch i regret doing) and i saw a few texts that made me extremely suspicious, and when i talked to her about it we got into a big fight about the trust issue. but i do trust her, i just dont think shes being 100% honest. im not sure what to do, i want to believe her, but at the same time i have these thoughts. thanks.

So here's the deal, you say you trust her, but you went through her stuff, that is a huge breech of trust. But she obviously is hiding something anyway, so unless it's texting a slew of strippers to suprise you for an upcoming birthday, it's probably something sinister.
If she is telling you to drop it, she obviously isnt comfortable with sharing her life with you, and you have your own reasons for suspicion.
Relationships are built on trust. Someone isnt being honest.
Here's my take... your 19, you got her you can get another one.
I would drop her, because chances are other people know what's up and the longer this goes on, the more of a chance you end up looking like the fool. And bro... you are a super spy detective with razor sharp insticts... you ain't no fool...

If you do, then you need to let go of all the suspicions you have until she gives you a verifiable reason not to trust her. If you dont trust her then your relationship doesnt look to promising. In her defense, it is very aggravating when someone doesnt trust you when your not doing anything wrong and that could be why she is so defensive. In my eyes, you have 2 options here. Either let go of all your worries and give her the benefit of the doubt, or go out there and find out for yourself if she is cheating. Go thru her phone again or try to follow her. A person that is cheating will rarely just admit it. Especially if someone is suspicious. If they do admit it, it is usually because of a guilty conscience. It is your decision but just a fair warning, choose wisely because trust is a very delicate issue in relationship and can often be the making or breaking point. Good luck to you.
