I started dating my girlfriend a year and a half ago. Everything went very smoothly until around 6ish months ago, so around our one year mark, we had our first argument. To be honest, I don’t even know what the argument was about, but it happened.
At one point I kept asking her “If you have anything to hide just say it now” and I could tell that made her uncomfortable. She ended up breaking down crying and revealed that in the first few months of our relationship, she felt neglected by me and downloaded a dating app, which she deleted only after a few days. She told me she only ever talked to one guy on there, and offered to show me the messages. There wasn’t anything too bad, but the guy was saying stuff like “so i’m the only guy you’re talking to, i’m special” and she would say things like “yes you are”. (that was about the worst of what was said) They didn’t get very far, and it was actually him that broke it off and stopped talking to her, not the other way around.
Even though she didnt technically cheat, she tried to, and the intention was there. I kept asking her “are you sure he was the only one” and she swears up and down she never talked to anyone else. (i’m not sure if i can believe this). i literally would’ve never known about this if she didn’t tell me, which makes me more skeptical. It’s now June and i still love her, but I seriously don’t know if I can ever trust her again, and I’m really trying. What should I do?
