So, lately you’ve had a funny feeling about your relationship. Something has been off between you and your significant other. One day you decide to do some investigative research. We all know the old saying “Seek and you will find” {Matthew 7:7-8}? Well, this usually comes true when you are snooping around in your lover’s belongings. Their cell phone just happens to be sitting there, calling you…their computer just happens to be on and their e-mails are staring at you…their journal is hidden in a secret spot, but that too is lonely and needs your company. Whatever the case may be, you cannot help yourself, you need to know. You read, you search, you find. It just so happens that your lover has been communicating with someone in particular a little more often than you would like (texts, calls, e-mails, etc), or you find pictures of people you’ve never seen before wearing things you thought only you wore in front of him/her. What do you do?
Do you, delete the bookmarked history, put the journal/cell phone back, close your eyes and make believe it was a nightmare? Do you let it boil inside of you until you decide to get him or her back for betraying you? Do you confront your significant other and ask a million questions knowing you won’t even truly believe the answers? If you confront your partner and they deny any wrong-doing, do you contact the other woman or man…for verification purposes, of course? What if you do and you find that the person you trusted so much has lied? Would verifying end up hurting you more than just simply letting it go? More importantly, can you ever gain that trust back?
