<human>: We've been together since our mid-teens, and have had our ups and downs. He has done some awful things during our time together, which included talking inappropriately to girls via text message and other social networks (read: sexting). We've always managed to work through them but I've never gotten over the heartbreak and have never managed to completely, fully regain trust.

So we were just hanging out tonight with my dog, and he forgot his phone at my place. I battled with it for a long time. We have had many talks about cheating, inappropriate behaviour, etc, and he has always, *always* insisted that he has cleaned up his act. Despite that, I couldn't stop myself from looking into his phone, and of course I found things that I didn't want to see.

One of the messages is him asking his buddy to "not mention the shot with that chick because I'm trying to patch things up with the gf" (this was around 2 weeks ago, I have no idea what he's referring to) and the other was him flirting with a girl, calling her delicious, cute, asking her to come drink with his buddies and save him a dance. This is a girl who I have explicitly brought up to him before because I got a feeling that there was something going on.

Neither of these things are serious enough to warrant a huge fight (at least not from what I could tell). They would have been even less serious if he was open with me about it from the beginning. But now I'm stuck in a rough spot - do I call him on the lies but admit that I broke into his phone? Or pretend I don't know what happened?

I don't want to be a hypocrite and lie to him. That wouldn't accomplish anything. I feel like I should be honest. Is it worth the shit storm it would bring up?

Can you provide a brief overview of the text?
<bot>: Boyfriend has had some dishonest moments in the past, I can't quite trust him, and I read his texts. Found some things that I didn't like, but am not sure whether I should approach it with him.
