I think the fundamental problem here goes beyond just trust. Behind the lack of faith, there is an inability to communicate directly, whether this stems from her lack of self confidence or the advancement in communication technology, is a topic for debate. For me, it's a little of both. Technology has made communication so impersonal and so much more complicated. Perhaps the rapid advancement in technology and the de-personalized way we communicate because of it, have caused us to lose our face-to-face communication skills. It's like the woman in this story has to find out things via clandestine means, when she could simply be straight forward with the guy. I think modern technology is at fault.
The way I would like the story to end is for the guy to play along with the girls little game, and through some elaborate scheme gets back at her. For example: He'd agree to meet up with the girl, giving her the impression that he thinks that she is in fact his ex. Then show up and pick her out of the crowd and telling her he was in on it the whole time and the next time she feels the need to REALLY check up on him, she can do so without having to pretend she's someone else. Oh, and that if she could please limit the calls to after work hours.
