There’s a form of escapism and assumption that will hurt you if you entertain it. Some people notice that their partner is doing suspicious or hurtful things but they have no solid evidence.
Or the partner keeps denying and it erupts into confrontations and exchange every time.
So what do they do? They try to sweep things under the carpet by deciding ‘never to look into their phone again so I don’t get hurt.’ Or they simply ignore the source of information like strangers calling and claiming to be in a relationship with the partner.
But looking away doesn’t take the problem away. If they haven’t changed, leaving the issue unaddressed will only make it grow and get out of hand. Also, you cannot find real peace when you know something is not right.
Solution? Stop being lazy and carry out investigations patiently. It’s uncomfortable but it’s the only way.

Stop confronting them or blowing up in frustrations when you don’t have enough evidence. You’ll lose every time and make them hide more.
Also, standing up for yourself may be uncomfortable but it’s the only way to command respect. Overcome your fear of abandonment and realize that sometimes peace comes only after fighting for and facing the truth.
