Guest Posted July 11, 2006 Posted July 11, 2006 I did something so stupid today. My girlfriend and I bought a house and I was packing some things up, and I came across her journal from University (3 years ago) and stupid me, decided to open it up. Knowing what happens next I naturally read some things that I dont want to hear. I know its her past, I have mine, its just not good knowing some of the stuff. In no way or form am I mad at her, I just feel really guilty. I feel so bad. She knew something was wrong so I told her and she just asked why. She was disappointed, but said shes over it. She means the world to me and is the last person I would ever want to go behind her back. I trust her with my life, just made a curious decision to read it. Anybody have any advice to help me get this off my mind?
Sally00 Posted July 11, 2006 Posted July 11, 2006 Well.... maybe you should let her read some of YOUR journals or what-not. Kinda make things even. You know, like letting her know some of your past and your thoughts about it. Then maybe you wouldn't feel as guilty.. I don't know. Just an idea.
Walk Posted July 12, 2006 Posted July 12, 2006 I think that was really honest and admirable that you confessed to reading it. Not sure many people would admitt to what they did if they were in your situation. If it's guilt your dealing with... And she's forgiven you... Then you should do something especially sweet and thoughtful for your gf. Something that doesnt' cost money, or if it does its very little. Something that takes effort on your part. And tell her your doing it to atone for your lapse in judgement. She might assume that anyway, but sometimes its better to communicate it rather than leave her assuming there's a worse motive.
