Jealousy that goes through your phone isn’t romance. It’s surveillance.

STILLNESS

WHAT THIS MEANS

Checking up on somebody is not a measure of how much they are loved. Reading messages and tracking movements is about control and about quieting a worry, and it tends to grow rather than settle, because reassurance gathered that way never lasts long. Trust cannot be collected by inspection. A relationship that needs it is managing fear instead of building closeness.

Decide what you are comfortable sharing and say it plainly, once. If the answer keeps being that nothing is enough, that is worth telling someone you trust, rather than carrying it alone.
