AITA - for overeacting/overthinking my GFs clearing her search history?
I'm a 33M, doing good professionally working at a financial institution. My live-in partner works with me 32F. Our relationship is quite young, almost 2 years and we started living in almost 3 months into the relationship. We are not the perfect couple, we have had our highs and lows. But we worked things through.
Just to put more context, I am a more private type of guy. I rarely post stuff on social media. Just scrolls through some feeds and reacts appropriately. On the other hand, she on the other side of the spectrum, she posts anything, and loves the attention. She has a plethora of bikini pictures readily available to some other guys on the internet. I obviously have brought it up to her but the posts stayed available to everyone up til now.
Fast forward, into a couple of weeks ago. I have had this itch of checking her phone - we both have access to each other phones, for no apparent reason. When I checked her fb messenger, her search history is cleared, all gone, no nothing. I did brought it up to her but she shrugged it saying that she has not been searching anyone there, reason for it being clean. Since it was the first time I have seen it, I took it up on face value. But a three days ago, I had another chance to check her phone and there were people on her search history, I mean a lot. There was this uneasy feeling that was creeping up on me, with the fact that she lied to me. To give her benefit, none of those folks on her search history were sketchy. So I just let it slide, but just kept a mental note of the fact that there are people there. The day after, there's this another uneasy feeling that I can't seem to shrug off. So at the first chance I got, I grabbed her phone and checked the search history, and lo and behold, it's cleaned again. This time I couldn't just let this slip. I brought it to her, and it went side ways. It turned to a verbal argument that lasted for 24 hours. I started to think that I should just end it, but she wouldn't budge. She talked me into fixing things out, but has gave me very vague answers as to why she's been clearing the history. Like, she don't know why it was cleared or she might have cleared it unknowingly.
I did stay, and gave it another chance. But there's this uncertainty that I can't get off my mind. Subconsciously, I feel like I am being cheated on. Can someone give me advice on how to move forward from this or should I still stay?
