What are your view about this? Do you agree that they have the right to check it? Or you JUst feel so bad When they check it? I need your opinion about this matter! Thank you in advance....

In my opinion, checking each other's cellphones is not bad, but you also have to respect other's privacy. I myself do not check my husband's cellphone but i can do it anytime. so with him. Trust is the key.

No, it is not fair to check others messages, without their permission, or untill and unless they want you to see it. It is invasion of privacy and I believe that privacy of a friend (even if he/she is close) must always be regarded and given due consideration.

If you are suspicious about things I think you have the right to check. For me, I don't really need to. I trust my boyfriend and he trusts me. Trust is one of the biggest things in a relationship, if you don't have it . . . It sucks because you will always have your suspicions and doubts about the relationship.

I am big on privacy and never in any of my relationship that I checked my bf or husband's cellphone. We may be together but one should maintain ones privacy and sense of self. Trust also is an issue. Any relationship wont last if you dont trust your partner. My ex-husband used to check my cellphone messages and I would really react badly because I consider them an invasion of my privacy as a person.

Yes, at the begining of our relationship i usually check it out... it was my way of testing him how open he is to me and if he is hiding anything... but eventually i stopped i actually find nothing there... but sometimes i check it out of curiousity

I wish I could say that I don't and would never do that (because I agree that it IS an invasion of privacy), but I have, and I do, and I probably will again. I think it's mostly out of curiosity. Do I have the right to check it? No, but since when has that stopped anybody?

There are times when I would check my husband's cellphone but it isn't for lack of trust. And I do it everytime. Sometimes, I just feel like tinkering his phone because we don't have the same phone models. Most of the time, it is he who checks on mine. And I don't make much fuss about it coz I am not hiding insects in there anyway. He is welcome to do it anytime he pleases.

I felt suspicious when my ex-gf didn't want me to check out her cellphone ... It won't be a problem for her to show the messages if she isn't hiding anything from me.

I would not continue to be someone's girlfriend if I felt the need to check their messages or call history. And if I discovered they were checking mine - goodbye. Trust and respect are just far to important in a relationship for me.

Well, I think that it is wrong to check someone's cell phone. Everyone is entitled to their privacy. But, I have checked my partners messages and still do from time to time. I think that people check each others phones when trust is lacking. That sure has been the case with me. And, the way that I have looked at it is if I feel my partner is not being completely truthful with me, then I'll listen to his messages to try and find the truth myself. What I don't know can hurt me. But, I'm not obsessive with it. I do it occassionally. And, I have to say that I have found out a couple of interesting things that he wouldn't have told me on his own. When I think about it, if you're relationship is strong than there would be no problem with you answering his phone or vice versa.

For a girlfriend/boyfriend relationship, i don't think checking their cellphone is a right thing to do.. You are invading their privacy! But for a married couples, I do think it's alright.. You are then married and keeping secret to your husband/wife is cheating that may lead your marriage to failure! :) I believe that you should know what your wife/husband is up to, that's for my opinion! :)

If you really trust her/him and if she/he is trustworthy then no need to check...simple!

I think it depends on an individual's way of thinking because some may consider it as if their partner do not have enough faith on them thats why they do so but some may consider it as their partner have the right of doing such things. In my case i only do it for fun:)
