As someone who’s been cheated on, and had to invade my SOs privacy to figure it out, I feel bad dunking on this guy. Obviously the looney toons way he went about it was bad, but I know what it feels like to spend ages paranoid, agonizing over whether they’re cheating on you, and so eventually you break their privacy and look through their phone and it feels super awful, whether you’re right or wrong. Every way to confirm whether your partner is cheating on you sucks and makes you feel super guilty if you’re wrong.

Edit: Like at least one other person here, I misread the first couple lines, I thought they shared an apartment, and he hid in the closet of their shared home. Which is like, not great, but I’ve heard of worse. This is not the case. I’m not sure where the line is for what level of breaking your partners privacy out of fear of cheating is, but breaking and entering is definitely on the wrong side of that line.
