I Found Hidden Photos
Did he cheat on me? I (F23) broke up with my boyfriend (M25) after I found some photos on his computer.
We dated for almost three years. One day, I was trying to find a file I needed on his computer. Then I opened a folder inside another folder. I was not looking through his things. I found the pictures by accident.
The photos were of a girl he used to know well. She was posing naked outside. I could tell he saved them from her Instagram Story. To me, this was not the same as looking at a random girl online. He knew her, and that changed everything.
Before this, we had many honest talks about what we think is cheating. We both said trust matters a lot. He said I was too upset over a few pictures. He also said he did not know I would feel this bad. I still feel hurt. Did I make the right choice?
