I would say that your post says more about you than him. It is not about what the aunts think your partner is up to as no-one here can know for sure. However, the fact that you feel any need to check his phone or anything about him means that you don't trust him deep down. I don't think the way you found out about what is stored on his phone matters, it is just feeding your insecurity about your relationship. I think open and honest communication is the key to sustaining any relationship. If you don't have that, you don't have a good relationship. So, talk to him and ask him about what is on his phone and how he regards your relationship. We all make mistakes and your peeking in his personal info. was just that - a mistake. Own up to your mistake and talk to him about what you want and expect from him in terms of standards of behaviour. I think you need to work on your self confidence and assertiveness - he maybe your partner but you are not dependent on him and his looks to make yourself feel good about you.

It dpends what sort of messages of pics they were, if they were friendly ones with no flirting then don't worry about it but if they were more serious then confront him. You had to have a reason or doubts to check his phone and betray his trust him the first place so explain to him why you felt the need to check it, he may be angry at first but he should cool down and if he seems extreamly aggressive and annoyed then he may have things to hide.

In other words.. are these provacitive pics of girls he has met since being with you or are they innocent pics of cousins? Very important detail to make an assesment of the situtation.You say he spends all of his time with you, so you must know him well enough to have some intuitive feeling about this. Try to not react just yet and get more information before you blow it with him.
