Don’t assume that texting more than usual equals cheating. Your girlfriend could just be texting a friend who needs some extra support, for example.
For example, you might go sit by on the couch while she’s texting someone, only for her to shift to the other side or leave the room entirely. Hiding her screen doesn’t always mean your girlfriend is cheating—she might also be responding to private information.
Everyone deserves their privacy, and it’s perfectly normal if she wants to have her own password, so don’t assume that setting up a new password always means she’s trying to hide things from you.
If she typically uses her computer to communicate, you might also notice that she’s been clearing her browser history or deleting emails. There could be other reasons she’s deleting her messages; for example, she might be trying to clear up space on her phone or computer.
For example, she might not respond to your text in the morning, or she might leave you on read all the way until the evening—even though you know she had a free day. Be aware that she may just be taking some time off to enjoy a hobby and relax by herself!
For instance, maybe she used to send you a good morning and good night text every day, or text you hearts and call you affectionate nicknames—but she’s stopped doing that. She may also just be dealing with personal issues or going through a hard time, so consider checking in with her about how she’s doing if you’re concerned.
For instance, she might say “It’s nobody” when you casually ask her who just texted her.
Texting has become such a normal part of our communication that even if she really is texting someone else, it’s possible she might not even see it as cheating.
