[i]I check my boyfriends cellphone everytime I want to.I trust my boyfriend and I know he is not capable of fooling around...hoping...crossed fingers.....Honestly he has nothing to hide.He can have my cellphone if he wants to check it.But there are times I check the names of the contacts list and see if he added new names in his phonebook.If somebody would call him or text him he would ask me to get his phone and would ask me to read the name who is calling or texting...so there's really no chance for him to fool around.
So I could actually read all his messages everyday bec. he would ask me to whom it came from and he doesn't delete the messages if the phone is not with me...he allows me to read it. [/i]

I don't check my husband's cell phone anymore. I gave up on doing so a while ago. I got tired of being accused of being nosey. But since he doesn't want me checking his phone I won't let him check mine. After all, what's good for the goose is good for the gander.

What do you mean already? I've been checking it for years! LOL I don't see anything wrong with checking my husband's cell phone, he is after all my husband and I should be able to check it whenever I please, just like he should be able to check mine. I believe in the "what's your's is mine, and what's mine is your's" policy when it comes to marriage. but I guess he thought I was snooping too much into his personal stuff. Ironically since I have lost all interest in his cell phone he doesn't mind if I take a look. Go figure!

It's not healthy, really, reading your boyfriend's messages. It's a personal thing. But lucky you, he does not mind. :) I mean, not everyone can do that. That's cool with him because he's not hiding anything from that phone (yet) so you are free to browse, read and do anything with it, I suppose. But have you checked his other phone? ;)

Well that the good thing he doesn't have an extra phone.I personally has an extra cellphone before when I still live alone in my apartment so I can actually leave the other phone at home and just bring the other one with me.But now my boyfriend and I are living in together I was left with one cellphone and he is free to check mine anytime he wants and yes I am lucky bec. he allows me to read and check his messages for him.

If he allows it, that's fine. I would never go through my husbands wallet, he would never go through my purse. We don't check each others cell phones, only look to see who's calling, if the other person's in another room. We respect each other and each others privacy.

That doesn't sound much like trust to me.

i hardly check my hubby's cellphone because i trust him... i check it when i wanted to and it is random... and i can never find anything that will show that he is being unfaithful to me... i think love is about trusting... and if you trust somebody, you won't check his cellphone just to make sure that he is not being unfaithful to you... he also never check my cellphone... we have mutual respect towards each other... take care and have a nice day...

"how often do you check your partners cellphone?"
never i don't want to check my wife cellphone or answer the phone from anyone to her cellphone if she's not ask me to answer or check the short message, i think that's the privacy for someone, and my wife never do that too my cellphone if i am not ask her.

My fiance and I have been together for almost five years now and even if we both have given each other "the right" or "the privilege" to check each other's phone, we don't. I guess it's because we respect each other's privacy and trust each other enough that there isn't anything going on. Hehe. Besides, we love each other too much to think of anything else. If there has to come a time when I'd have to check his phone, it's because he asked me too.

I don't check his phone either. Sometime he will ask me to check for him then I will if not I won't touch his phone even if he is in the bathroom and the phone rings I will not answer or even look at it. I will just tell him when he is out of the bathroom.

I know everybody has a different type of relationship... I've been with my girl friend for 6 years & we've been living together for last 4 years of it... We have a very open relationship & by that, I mean we really don't have any problem of each other going through the other's things... It's not even a privacy issue for both of us... I have blackberry & I get my emails on my phone... When I use "outlook express" on my computer, every "emails" I have on my cell. phone shows up on my computer... I do that for back up reasons because I use my cell. phone for work as well... My girl friend has full access to the computer... At any given time when we're together, she can pick up my cell. phone & use it or look at it... It's an understood thing... It goes the other way as well... Not that we go through each other's emails & phones every day but it's the idea of it... Knowing that she can go through it at any time... She still asks... I guess on my part, it's more of convenience issue, I'm too lazy to remember everything, lol... If I have to look up a phone number, I just tell her to look it up in my phone... I know most people value their privacy & to a some degree even from their partners... I can see we are a bit different in that we're completely open with one another in every aspect... We literally have everything open to each other... Granted that sometimes I "forget" to tell her things but she knows that anything she wants to know, she could always ask or even just look it up herself...

My husband doesn't have a cellphone, and he never checks mine. We don't check eachother's computers either (we have our own computers). We trust eachother.

I wouldn't read any of them unless he asked me too. He wouldn't bother with mine either unless I asked him to which I never have. LOL I wouldn't even think that there would be a message from someone else on there. I don't worry about cheating because if he is it will eventually come out whether I look at his messages or not. We have been together for 12 years. We took a break once 8 years ago and he did find out I was with someone else and it wasn't from my phone. LOL I wouldn't stress out about cheating and just enjoy that we are together.

And another thing our partner can actually delete all his message and leave some messages that came from you so that we don't have a clue.But it's just a matter of trust and you right if a person actually is fooling around it will just come on thin air....That's based from our experience.lol
