My(30m) gf(30f) of a year was messaging her ex

r/

So my gf and I have been together over a year, and everything has seemed to be going really great. Now, I have always trusted her completely and have had no reason not to. Going through phones and what not, is not my style. One day for some reason while she was at work, I decided to go through her Apple Watch. I don’t know what it was, but for the first time I felt this need to check. When I did, I found messages from two days earlier between her and her ex who lives on the other side of the country. He texted her saying “I miss my baby” and she responded that she missed him too. The conversation went on to her saying she would move there with him if he would want it, and even mentioned where she could get a job. It went on to him asking her to send a picture of her “fit” (what she was wearing” at the moment and she responded “nooo no no” (assuming out of respect for me). And then I guess she did because he texted again saying “mmm daddy wants, when can I come over” and she never replied.
I talked to her about it and she felt horrible and blocked him on everything. Said she was drunk and regrets it terribly. I want to trust her again, but it’s really hard.
I don’t know how to move forward. How can I trust her again? What should I do?

Can we move forward? Can I make this work?

TLDR: went through gfs phone. Found texts with ex. Need advice. Read above for more details.

    What should you do?

    You stop wasting your time and effort by tossing her to the curb and move on with your life.

    Kick er to the curb. No matter what you think you’re capable of…… you’ll never actually get past this. It’s always going to be there in the back of your mind. She was communicating with her EX in a manor that left nothing to question.

    “I miss my baby”?!

    And her response was

    “I miss you too”?!
    Sorry bro! She’s gotta go!
