We've joked about how the things we've go through has made us so strong now nothing can phase us.A couple of months ago she looked at my mobile and found some txts between me and my best mate, part of the chat was me joking about a new girl he had and if she had a friend (because I wasn't having sex with my girlfriend). It was pure jesting, I do it all the time with him. I realise it didn't look great but she knows she can trust me.It did upset me she looked at my phone. I admit that, but I had nothing to hide really, just the fact she didn't trust me. Last night I had the opportunity to look through hers, and I did. And it was like being hit by a lorry.I found a text from her to her ex two weeks ago saying 'Miss u snugs' and a txt yesterday from him to her saying 'did you manage to get saturday off yet, love ya'. Now she told me she was planning to go away to her friends for the weekend and had already cleared it with work for Saturday so his txt is a bit confusing. It's hers to him I can't get out of my head.We had it out and she said it was just a stupid text, she felt terrible after she sent it. He texts her every now and then saying he still loves her and he misses her and she was trying to get him off her back by playing along with things. Not a great explanation.It doesn't wash with me. I'm well confused, she is so so so so sorry, she keeps telling me all last nite and today she doesn't want anyone else, she's never been so happy, she wants me and my kids, everyting is so right, she just doesn't know why she did it. Am I being a mug here? Why would she put miss you then a cosy little pet name? I really need some helpful advice, please don't analyse too deep why I looked at her phone, I just did and regret it now. I need to know if this is cheating or am I just being paranoid and should get over it and contniue being with this wonderful girl I love to bits?

When you get older and aren't married then every interaction with a significant other is an exploration into whether or not they are suitable to stay with. No more games. If she is doing this crap of communicating with an ex boyfriend like that then walk. She is not worth your time and trouble. Keep stepping brother.

Tell her you dont like , apologise , then finish with her, if she comes back, tell her not to text her ex again...she still cares for him otherwise she wouldnt do it.

I'm also with Q (no offence there Satine!). I think if it had just been a text, then you could have given her a second chance. But when there is the mention of a meeting as well, then I think you're being played.
