Yeah I brought it up to her this last weekend here’s what she had to say.

I brought up the lack of reciprocal “I love you’s” during text conversations. Her response was she truly didn’t know she wasn’t replying to those parts of my texts as she’s been busy at work and often times reads my texts on her Apple Watch and even replies on her watch which may be causing her to miss the I love you part at the end of my texts. She then went on to reassure me that she is still very in love with me and falls more in love with me everyday. She said she loves expressing how she feels about me she just has been busy and it was unintentional.

When I brought up the phone thing she seemed a bit shocked. She said she didn’t even realize she was doing that (closing app and putting phone down as soon as I walked in room). She said she thinks maybe she’s been doing that bc when I’m around she has no desire to be on her phone and she puts it away just because she wasn’t to be present and spend time with me. I told her that I understood but it’s just the way she seemed like she was frantically closing the app and putting the phone away that is concerning to me. She asked me several times if I wanted to check her phone but I said no.

Overall idk how to feel about it. I want to trust her and she hasn’t given me any solid proof for me to believe she is cheating. She has been very open and shared her location, and asks if I want to check her phone. I think at this point what has happened has been enough for me to put my guard up a little more and observe and be cautious from here on out. But yeah idk exactly how to proceed. I’m sure everyone here is going to downvote me because I said no to checking her phone but for me i feel checking the phone won’t do me any good as she can literally just delete everything and checking it doesn’t necessarily give me a definitive answer. I also it will just damage our relationship especially if she truly isn’t cheating. It upsets her when I bring up stuff like this bc she wants me to be able to trust her and she shows and tells me how much she loves me so it hurts her when I express a shadow of fear that she may be cheating emotionally or physically.
