I have been with my girlfriend for 2 years and up until recently I thought everything was fine, now I am not so sure. First the back story:

Met her 2 years ago and she left her boyfriend to go out with me (he was a control freak, liar and neglected her). At the time she was still friends with one of her ex-boyfriends and this made me uncomfortable (because of the way he acted towards me/her). I talked to her about it and her response was 'I wouldn't go out with him because he cheated on me and I can't trust him'. I thought it was an odd response because it seemed like it was the trust and not the fact that I was with her that was stopping her. Anyway after a while they fell out of contact and I just left it at that.

She started her first proper job (after uni) in september and has become increasingly independant (she still lives with her parents), and more distant. She lives at home in the week and is at home on msn each evening talking to me, so I am fairly sure she isn't up to anything but recent events have got me worried.

When I come back from having a bath I often see her minimising msn windows, which is not something she ever used to do, but I didn't think too much of it. Then on New Years at 00:00 she got a load of phonecalls from the ex that she used to talk to when we first started going out. At the time she said she had no idea why he was calling her because she hadn't talked to him in over a year which I believed.

She bought a new phone this week and earlier today I was setting it up for her and installed facebook on it. I went to put her details in and it gave me a password error, so I said that it was giving me a password error and she said that she had changed it. She then got up from the middle of what she was doing and came accross to input the password herself. You might think theres nothing odd about that, but whenever shes asked me to do anything like that in the past she would just tell me the password, if she changes her passwords for anything she will just tell me out of the blue (i.e. she would just go 'btw I've changed my email password here it is').

I just logged in to the general user account on my pc (which she was using earlier whilst I was in the bath) and she had left msn logged on. She had a few messages from the ex she claimed to no longer see any more. Getting quite worried I pulled up the chat logs (which is going a bit far I admit) and discovered she had talked to him several times in the last few months (in the 25 minutes or so each weekend I am in the bath and she is here) and she seemed to know a lot of intricate personal details about his life. The bit that worried me significantly was a conversation she had with him about him sleeping with a girl who had a boyfriend and her response being '2 years is a long time for a relationship(about this other girl)and I know, people change and they find it hard to move on'. Then later on him going on about how guilty he felt when he cheated on her and her going on about how he deserves better than this other girl.

Maybe I'm reading too much into this but it sounds a bit suspicious to me, what do you think?
 
Yea it is a little dodgy...You've got 3 options,

1) Confront her about it...

2) Be a sneaky bar-steward and install a keylogger...

3) Do nothing and spend forever now knowing...

It's your call!
 
Besides this odd bit of secrecy how is she with you in general? Acting the same way when shes around you?

Obviously I dont know you or your relationship but if shes acting odder, be it distant or whatever than that of afew months back then I would be more worried.
 
Sleep on it.

There is no reason to be paranoid about her not wanting to give you her passwords. Privacy has a very high price. She probably is keeping this stuff from you to protect you, as nothing is probably happening, and she doesn't want you to get worked up - as you have.

Classic military strategy: confront, evade, or retreat. Personally, I'd evade. As, after all, without being that crazy stalker/snooper dude, you know nothing :)

well said!
 
While I admit I'm somewhat bitter and cynical on this subject...

Try to just go with the flow, think about what you want out of the relationhip in the short term the experience is never a bad thing.
 
"Then later on him going on about how guilty he felt when he cheated on her "

When he said the above: He's comming on to her this is obvious.

I would not be happy.
 
People don't just forget, sounds like she is still hurting from what happened, it's not unreasoanble, sounds like she really wants to get over it as she never has and by talking to him this is the best way to understand why he cheated. But also you cant expect her to just block out all feeling toward her ex. Your first big relationships are powerful and leaves strong impressions. Best getting it all out in the open.

One examaple of many, i have an ex who is still keen on her first bf, she has a child now and is in a 3 year relationship but from a few things that happened she is still keen on this guy, although it's not common knowldge just something i came accross.

If she left him to be with you then that should tell you something...

Never a great way to start a relationship because deep down you will always have trust issues.

I dont know your GF so not sure what advise to give only that if you dont trust someone you love then there must be a problem somewhere.

Trust is everything.

the only 3 options tbh, if all's well after 2 weeks you've been subject to a natural series of emotions, you've been shown to be wrong and can put it behind you. however if something does show up then you can tackle her about it with full justification
 
OP there is no reason whatsoever that she should have to give you ANY of hewr passwords, whether or not she has in the past. That you are here questioning it and going through logs etc is a sign of a somewhat controlling person in itself. You obviously have no real trust in this relationship, it's not going anywhere imo.

As soon as you need to stoop to this level then any relationship is doomed.
 
If you have to ask...it's probably a scam.






In all seriousness, I would probably just talk to her. You might get your answers, you might or might not like what she says, but at least you will know.
