I have snooped twice in my life. I have also been told by a friend of situations that have been going on behind my back and always wondered, what if. What if I didn't snoop and kept on going blissfully ignorant of boundaries being crossed when I didn't know and spent my time with someone who clearly doesn't have the same kind of outlook on life. Or what if that friend never told me what she saw
Lets start with the friend situation. I dated a younger girl back in the day...I was inexperienced, but still had my charm and wit. I bedded her the second night..=) great! Then we started getting a little more serious later on in the months and got into a premature relationship. Only a month in "exclusivity"... a friend (acquaintance of mine) of hers sends me a message
here is the message in it's original form
"I am only telling you this because I know you are a great guy, Sydney doesn't deserve you and you should know why. Even though you guys are supposed to be dating, she still has a different boy coming to her room almost every night and she will not stop talking about all the other guys she is talking to. I'm sorry but I have to tell you this. Its been making me so mad lately. I don't believe that it is right to be flirting and cuddling with other people if you have a significant other. You don't have to do anything about it, but at least take it into consideration."
So I ended that real quick. Saved me some time...in the long run I found out she wasn't a very good person and it was repeated by more than one person. Very inexperienced me.
Now me personally snooping,
I snooped on one of my ex's, because she was acting weird (gut feelings come in handy) found out messaging ex boyfriend and whatnot. And this is a girl who i thought I could trust...she didnt have many red flags about her either. I might have been doing a shitty job as a boyfriend so I couldn't really blame her too much. But she then snooped through mine and well you know that relationship was doomed
Next time:
This girl got pretty attached after sex...really got it bad for me. At the time we weren't even official...but she wanted me to stop talking to other girls, and get off dating websites. Interesting. I didn't fall for it, especially since it was only 3 months in. So I told her that we should keep things open till since it was still early. From then on...she kept on going and going about how I should stop talking to other girls, she doesn't really like doing those kinds of things/like that kind of relationship, how other guys would have dropped their other girls for her by now and we should be dating one on one since more people involved= diverting attention, blah blah blah.
I do not budge, too early...5 months in, I just wanted to prove my cynical side right and snoop through her Facebook messages. She wasn't too bad, nor was I pissed (we were not together) but she had some messages to other guys here and there about how she thought they were really attractive, etc. Even telling one guy she was interested and wanted to take things slow lol.
Has she banged them I don't know...did she give them her number?...yes Even though I have been banging her for awhile and her "views" which might have been altered due to me saying what I said to her.
Which brings me to my question....
Is it better to be blissfully ignorant and spend time with women and never snoop (which to me is my go to option now since shit... gotta have some secure beliefs about myselfs)
or snoop and get the truth and always have some skepticism whenever a woman utters words.
which might help in situations like these .. girlfriend of 8 years. He found out she banged a guy during turmoil and he was just giving in more effort into repairing the relationship. I guess he saved himself another year by snooping?
