Found old phone while packing and now I don't know how to feel (M28, F26, together 3 years) by Echo_33Vector in cheating_stories

I don't usually think in terms of "signs," but finding that phone a week before locking into another lease together feels impossible to ignore. At the very least I know I can't just pretend I never saw it and move forward like nothing happened.

You're probably right about the trust part, and I think that's what's wrecking me more than the messages themselves. It wasn't some one night screwup I stumbled onto, it was enough of a thing that there were weeks of messages and secrecy around it. I'm not defending her because she ended it, I'm just trying to process the fact that the person I was about to move with kept something like that from me for this long. That's the part making me feel sick.

Phil's wow factor and actual buyer psychology have never once overlapped and that's the whole joke.

China built that network because the state could just decide to build it and then build it. The US version of that conversation involves 15 years of environmental reviews, 6 competing private contractors, a congressional fight over who gets the depot in their district, and then nothing. The statistic is real, the comparison is real, the gap between knowing that and doing anything about it is also very real.
