I’m a 26F and my 28M boyfriend (dating for just over 2 years) saw Hinge on my phone home page while standing behind me. I completely forgot that I had it downloaded and cannot remember when I did. I let him go through the app to confirm that I was not actively using it.
I confessed that I was reading through old conversations as it was entertaining and reminded myself of how crazy I was when I was younger. I have settled down now and do not go out/drink/party as much as I did back then. I admitted I did miss this part of me sometimes but I am perfectly content with the life I have now.
He insists this is cheating and that he cannot trust me anymore? Is this the case? If so, is there anyway back from this? How can I make amends?
I would like to reiterate that I have not contacted anyone on the app or ever had any intention to cheat.
We are going on a group trip next week and he says that afterwards we are done as a couple.
Any advice would be appreciated.
TLDR
Is it cheating if you read old conversations on a dating app?
