can I trust her?
Hi all, I have been in a relationship for 8 months now. My girlfriend and I met and seemed to hit it off immediately. we dated for about 3 months and she and her two children moved in with me. We have alot in common and enjoy about all the same things. The problem is, when we started dating, I found out she had a problem with pain pill addiction. when we started to discuss moving in together, we discussed the pill issue and she told me that she was trying to quit. When she when they moved in, she was taking 6-8 pills a day, and told me then that this was an improvement from the previous year at about 18 a day. In the past 7 months she has cut down to 1 1/2 io 2 a day, and I know for sure she has without a doubt. The problem is, she has an ex-boyfriend that she still talked to when we met and I didn't have a problem with that until new years. A few days after New Years, she wanted me to do some work on the computer and I had to be logged in under her e-mail add. so she logged me in and got me set up to do this for her and then she had to leave to go to an appointment. after doing what she needed, there was an e-mail that came to her mail box, not thinking much about it, I opened it and it was from her ex. After reading this, I got curious and opened some of her old mail and sent mail. There were some e-mails that were on the the fine line of being unappropriate between them. so I confronted her with it and she asured me that there was nothing to worry about and that they were just good friends. I then contacted him and he told me the same thing and if it made me feel better, then he would just not have any contact with her. I discussed this with her and she said she didn't think it was fair but agreed to if it would help. The other morning when I got up, there was 1/2 a pain pill on the dresser where we keep them, and a few hours later it wasn't there and asked her if she had went ahead and taken it (not that it really mattered because it was planned for her to take it that day anyway) and she said no, she didn't know what happened to it. This got me upset because she and I are the only ones with access to it and obviously she had lied about it. Yesturday I was logged in under her name on the computer and just checked to see her e-mails, and she has still been in contact with him on occasion, nothing at all inappropriate, but this just bothers me because of the "little lies" that she has told me and I don't know what to do. I Love her and the children very much but a relationship has to be built on trust and I don't know if I can trust her. Any suggestions?
