Being in a relationship there has to be trust if it is going to work. I hope you decide to back off and let her figure it out and don't put your life on hold. He is a control freak by going through her phone meassages and that to me would be a big warning sign! If she thinks it is going to stop there..she is wrong..but that is something she has to figure out on her own. Without going into details about what I went through a very long time ago...she has to be the one to make the decision to leave! No matter how much advice she is getting from friends, etc..she has to be the one to say "enough is enough" and leave. One control thing will lead to another...telling her what time to come home..what friends she can have and not have etc. It isn't fun! She has to figure this out for herself and who knows how long that will take. Date other women..there is someone out there for you...you shouldn't have to put your life on hold! If it is meant to be and you both have talked alot and I mean ALOT..You will be together..let time run its course. A right to be jealous??? for him to go through her phone messages???? and that makes it ok??? That is totally stupid and uncalled for him to do what he did period! She isn't married to the guy and that doesn't make it ok for him to do that! If you are in a relationship..married or not..there has to be trust and most of all...always be best friends:)
