@PUNKEY,
They've been married 21 years so they are not kids.
I don't understand the part that you hope one day she will trust you with her phone.
It's her phone, stay away from it. Why would you ever even know if she's taken the lock off it you not trying to check it.
As a woman, there's certain items I don't expect anyone else to go through. The first that comes to my is my handbag.
Early on in my marriage I came in the room and my husband was, not going through my bag, but was, in his defense, simply getting something out of it. For me though that was a huge violation. He's never done that again in almost 20 years of marriage. If he thinks something he needs is in my bag, he brings it to me and has me get it out.
I'd be the same way with his wallet.....or phone....and he mine.
As far as rebuilding trust, that takes time....and time takes time. Not your time, not her time....time's time.
Just leave her things alone, don't get wrapped up in when things will get better, let time take it's own course.
"Chi Dara fine al gran dolore? L'ore."
Who will end this great sadness? The hours passing
