His Girlfriend Went Through His Laptop And Found Photos From All Of His Past Relationships, And She Thinks It’s Really Weird
This 34-year-old man has been dating his girlfriend, who is 26, for eight months. And since his girlfriend is currently in school, she typically studies on her own laptop whenever she visits his place.
This past weekend, though, his girlfriend forgot to bring her laptop with her. So, after he realized she was trying to use her phone to study, he just offered to let her use his laptop.
She wound up using his computer for a while. But, it later came out that she was not studying the entire time.
Instead, about five hours after he handed over his laptop, his girlfriend told him that she had gone through all of his photos and personal files.
Now, his girlfriend reportedly has trust issues stemming from her childhood– which he is aware of. Still, she tried to use that to justify her snooping.
“You know how I have trust issues from my past, and I felt we were getting very close to each other, so I had to fact-check you,” his girlfriend said.
“You know how guys are, and they hide things. So, I went through your personal files to check. I’m sorry.”
Rather than her apology making him feel better, though, he actually just started to feel quite disgusted. So, he wound up telling his girlfriend that she completely violated his privacy.
But, while he was still just trying to process the whole thing, his girlfriend decided to bring up some things she found on his computer. More specifically, she started asking why he had photos saved from all of his past relationships.

“This is very weird, and I don’t know what to make of it,” his girlfriend added.
Now, for him, that comment was the tipping point. So, he actually decided to just ask her to leave.
And in the wake of their argument, he is now trying to process everything that happened. According to him, his laptop is pretty old, and he basically used it as an archive over the years. That’s why his girlfriend stumbled upon such old pictures– because his computer contained folders with every photo he took within the last eight to 10 years.
The folders included everything from images with his family to photos he took on trips with his ex-girlfriends.
“And I don’t visit these folders unless maybe once in a blue moon to find an old memory,” he explained.
Since his archive seemed to really upset his girlfriend, though, he is now wondering if it was wrong to hold onto all of the pictures from his past relationships. But, at the same time, he also just feels like he cannot really trust his girlfriend anymore.
“This is not the first time we are facing an issue because of her trust issues, and I feel like maybe this is not going to be the end of her curiosity, either,” he vented.
So now, he really is not sure whether he should give his girlfriend another chance or just end their relationship.
Was it right that his girlfriend used her past trauma as an excuse to snoop? Is it wrong for people to keep photos from past relationships or not? Does he have a right to feel upset about what his girlfriend did? How would you handle this situation?
