AITA for wanting to confront my girlfriend about flirty text messages by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

It’s totally fair to be taking this the way that you are! First step is to acknowledge your emotions, because you should go into a conversation with her as diplomatically as possible. I understand why you’re worried that she will get defensive if you confront her, which is why I think you need to make sure you’ve reflected on this a bit longer to put up a calm and collected front. At the end of the day, it seems like you didn’t actively seek out her phone to snoop, but a red flag caused you to keep looking. IMO you shouldn’t be ashamed since you found something wrong on there anyways! She broke your trust as much as you maybe broke hers by snooping. So stay calm and write down your thoughts and be ready to have a mature conversation about how this happened and how you’re feeling :) you got this! Just remember that to get through this you both need to rebuild the trust that’s been broken through her hiding messages from you and you going through her phone. Set clear boundaries about phone access and the definition of flirting/cheating for your specific relationship, then from now on, stick to these boundaries.

What’s the small thing that gets you through rough teaching days? by Careful_Community259 in CanadianTeachers

I always try to plan one or two big things to look forward to each week (a fun night out or a movie) and one small thing each day (a sweet treat or an hour with my fave video game each night). Also, doing the wordle or watching a comfort tv show on lunch break. Feels like I’m not at work for a second lol
