Girlfriend lied about encounter with male colleague

[Anonymous]

My mom's best friend had a husband (French raised in Algeria) who was controlling, didn't let her drive, called from work to see if she was home and if not called all her friends, and after 40 years of this of course it turned out he'd been cheating on her the entire time.

You say your gf "never" goes out in the evenings, which to me sounds trapped. You snooped in her data when you found out she'd gotten home late. She said she deleted texts in a "panic" after "confrontation" but then retrieved the texts via her co-worker; said texts were "cordial". And although she has done nothing "shady" in the two months since then you are steaming about it and thinking of dumping her.

The preponderance of evidence (as defined by 51% or more) indicates you are have control issues.
