The simple fact of the matter (for me) is that if your significant other is cheating on you, that is a symptom - a symptom that there is somethign seriously wrong with your realtionship.
If you are unable or unwilling to see that, you are a fool.
Either you are lying to yourself, your relationship is not based on open communication and respect, you have been neglecting your significant other or a number of other possibilities.
You don't simply "lose" trust, as if it is a set of car keys.
If you have lost trust, that is a symptom of something much bigger and more sinister, and you need to get to the bottom of that.
spying on your significant other will not help you do that - if anything it will make it worse.
The ONLY thing that will do that is being completely open and honest with your significant other and yourself.
As for the high divorce rate, who gives a rat's ass?
Should I stay in a relationship for the sake of the statistics?
If a relationship is such hard work, there is something wrong with it.
Life and situations can be hard, and your partner should be the person you can lean on in those situations.
The relationship itself should not be hard.
If my wife cheats on me, it's over - no questions asked, no second chances - and I know that the same would be true if I cheated on her.
Why? Because the trust and mutual respect that was the foundation of our marriage has now crumbled, and when the foundation crubmbles, everything else around it collapses.
