It would be interesting to know if you have ever been cheated on in the past? The reason I would like to know is it seems that this is a problem in your own mind. Is it possible that you’re protecting yourself from something happening that has in fact already happened in a previous relationship?
You have admitted that when you check her messages you have no reason not to trust her and the incident that you say started all this doesn’t really sound like a big deal. I mean what she did wasn’t great but if you have no proof that she has ever betrayed you, then you can’t accuse her of anything.
Don’t let your insecurities drive this girl away from you. If she is repeatedly accused of being a cheat when she isn’t, she won’t put up with it for long. Have a look inwards and try and work out what it is that is making you so worried she’s going to ruin your relationship.
Good Luck!
