It’s not that Simon doesn’t trust you. It’s just that Simon doesn’t trust anyone. And that sadly includes you. He loves you. He is pretty sure you’re his forever person. But Simon has experienced too many betrayals in life.

It’s not good for his relationships. He questions every move that may be even a little off, every wrong word chosen, every inconsistency when you talk about your day. It almost caused your relationship to come to an end.

Just a few weeks ago, it suddenly stopped. He stopped questioning you and your loyalty. To you, the change came out of nowhere. To Simon… not so much.

It’s easy to not question you when he reassures himself of your loyalty regularly. Almost every day after you go to sleep, he takes your phone and looks through it. Through your chats, calls, emails, pictures, browser history…

Not only has he finally stopped questioning your loyalty, but he also knows everything that goes on and it makes him a better boyfriend. He knows what he is doing is wrong, but you’ve been loyal so far, so it’s not like there’s any harm.

His downfall came with how comfortable he has become with this routine. Today he reached for your phone when he thought you were asleep and started his usual routine of looking through your chats.

What he didn’t realize was that you were very much awake, staring at him in disbelief at the casual manner with which he invaded your privacy.
