The answer

The questioner is advised to supplicate frequently and to entrust her affairs to Allah, so that He may choose a righteous husband for her. She should also blame and accuse herself first when calamities strike, based on the Almighty's saying: "And whatever strikes you of disaster - it is because of what your hands have earned, and He pardons much." She should repent sincerely and seek Allah's forgiveness. A Muslim should not belittle any sin; rather, one should consider the greatness of the One Whom they have disobeyed. As for losing self-confidence and confidence in everything, even in Allah, this is from the whispers of Satan that must be resisted and not indulged in, as their consequences are severe. Regarding a wife spying on her husband's phone, this is forbidden. However, she is not held accountable if it happened by coincidence and not intentionally.
