I have learned well from trp and my girlfriend has shown to be loyal and honest with me so far. I know she loves me now as she gives me sex often, wants to please me, and she let me do anal on her (she refused her ex when he asked for it)

Despite all this, I suspected her lying about deflecting a beta orbiter's DMs and checked her phone while she was sleeping.

I found no proof of her lying, but scrolled more than I originally planned to a conversation with her ex. Last message was from before we were dating so no infidelity there.

Now, I feel guilty and dirty. She is honest with me and checks in with me when any guys asks for her contact even for school, and here I am looking through her phone.

I felt like I did a bad thing like "snooping" and feel guilty like I want to tell her. She has shown many traits that make me want to continue the LTR with her, and I plan on starting a family 5-10 years from now. I don't want something like this to taint our trust.
