Escalating a "look once" request into a "the relationship is over" indictment is textbook deflection. He's using the bigger charge to bury the smaller request.
A clean phone doesn't need a clean reaction — but a violent one (lunging out of the shower) is the entire answer.
When my ex pulled this exact "if you don't trust me…" line, I gave him the benefit of the doubt. Two months later: three other women.
"You don't trust me" is the most-used PUA line of all time. Trust is given by behaviour, not demanded as a moral test.
