Dear Distressed,
Please observe your surroundings first — it is quite common for 'everyone you know in your life,' to be busy browsing on their smartphones — as it is filled with a plethora of information from regular work e-mails, to text messages, picture taking and whatnot. Maybe, you do it yourself as well. It's just that no one is keeping tab on your activities. Perhaps, the insecurity you have been feeling recently, has its roots elsewhere and needs to be dealt with, in a proper manner.
Besides that, for the moment we can only say that every relationship is built on trust, loyalty, respect and transparency. You can be clear about your insecurities with your loved one or try to spend some time on your own to discover the hidden 'trust related issues' that you have not been able to address for a long time.
Do some self-reflection before seeking out professional help, if needed.
