I saw my name pop up on her phone, but she deleted the message before I could read it. We've been dating for almost two years and recently started spending most nights at each other's apartments. We generally get along, although we've had a few disagreements about privacy and personal space. One evening, we're sitting on the couch watching TV when her phone lights up. I happen to glance over and see a message notification from her best friend. My name is clearly visible in the preview. Before I can read the rest, she picks up her phone and deletes the notification. I ask her why she deleted it so quickly. She says she was just having a private conversation with her friend. I tell her I'm not asking to read all her messages, but I don't understand why my name was mentioned. She says I shouldn't assume every conversation about me is something bad. Later that evening, I bring it up again. I ask whether her friend has a problem with me or whether they've been discussing something about our relationship. She gets frustrated and says she sometimes talks to her friend about things she isn't ready to discuss with me. I tell her that's fine, but deleting the message the moment I walked in made it look suspicious. She responds that my reaction is exactly why she doesn't always share everything.
