This happened about a week ago, and I’m still trying to process everything. My girlfriend and I went through a breakup but got back together after a couple weeks. Soon after getting back together, I was alone in her room and she was in the shower. I was laying on her bead when I noticed a old chemistry notebook, me being a blockhead decided to open it because I wondered why she still had it. What greeted my eyes was an entry from when we were broken up about how she and her ex were hooking up and how much she was liking it. I decided to go back a couple more pages and found out that her and her ex were hanging out before we broke up, behind my back, and that most of the reasoning for her breaking up is because she wanted to get back with this ex who was “just a friend”. I also found out that part of the reason she wanted to get back together was because she found out her ex was talking to someone else and that her ex just wanted to be friends with benefits but nothing more. I don’t know what do do now but part of me wishes I never opened that diary because I can’t stop thinking about it.

TL/DR: Read my girlfriends diary on accident, found out she broke up with me for her ex, and got back together with me because her ex didn’t want a relationship.

Edit: Wow, did not expect to get this many responses. First of all I want to thank everyone, regardless of your opinion you guys all helped. I’m about to graduate HS and I think what I’m going to do is wait till schools done then break it off, the reason for is that we are in the same friend group and I don’t want to have to deal with it and finals at the same time. You guys have opened my eyes, Ill update when it all goes down for you guys wanting an update.
