Do you think reading your partner mobile phone text message against privacy?

It may seem to be an invasion of privacy but I think your wife has the right for that. I am not yet married but I used to have a bf and lived together. We used to have a good relationship until I got fed up with his jealousy. As far as I am concerned, jealous guys are the ones who are cheating their partners. Its not my habit to look at someone's cellphone but I tried to look at his phone while he was sleeping. I have found out that he has an affair with another woman. The woman has put "kiss" and "I love you" at the end of every sms. I hope you understand that it was not just misinterpretation, right?

Well,im a wife,and it's not my habit of reading my husband's text messages,there are times that i pick his calls when he is inside bathroom or he is sleeping. And i think it's not really proper to read even your partners text messages,my husband also doesn't read text messages from my phone. It depends on each individual behaviour,and maybe,it's a matter of self descipline and respect to our partner. A little privacy is a must...cellphone is a private matter...so,i think i have my right to keep a little privacy with my phone...

According to me its NEVER against privacy if its your wife or partner. There are some Rights & commitment they have towards us. Misunderstanding often happens, however if they really loves you & have trust on you then such misunderstanding will never last. However I really agree to the point that it is against peoples privacy to read SMS IF they are Your Friends Or Relatives

I am not married so I would not really know how to see it from a wife's point of view. Well maybe, there is something which prompts her to read the texts on your phone. I know that it is somehow invading one's privacy. But then thinking about it, if there is really nothing to hide, you should not worry at all. The thing that you have already explained to your wife that it was all work related is already enough. If she still becomes jealous, you can make it known to her it is not doing good in your relationship.

Oh I definitely agree, and not just for text messages. Reading someone else's emails, texts, normal mail or IM/chat conversations when they haven't given permission is just as wrong. You could actually have been having an affair and it would still be wrong of your wife to read your private communications, though it would also be completely valid for your wife to get upset at that point regardless of the fact that she did something wrong as well.

Yes, read others text messages was disturb the privacy. But in the other hand if your wife do that, i think it doesn't matter because she's your lifetime partner and she's entitled to knows what you do or with whom you communicate.But maybe she shouldn't that jealously.Hehe

i guess it depends on up to what extent do you enforce your privacy. between husband and wife it is my opinion that privacy is no longer an issue. after all you should not be hiding anything from each other. but if you discussed with your wife about boundaries of your privacy including not reading text messages in your mobile phone then perhaps she violated your "privacy". on the other hand doubts and misenterpretations could be avoided if your wife is properly informed about you meeting your colleague before she read your text message. anyway, for me my husband can read text messages in my phone anytime of the day. if he read something which may cause him to get jealous then it's his problem if he does not trust me. i also read text messages in his phone but i am not the kind wife who gets easliy suspiscious of what i read...so in general i don't think reading text messages of our partner is a violation of privacy...that's just my opinion...i also respect the opinion of those who thinks otherwise...

I do think it's against privacy. Although you and your wife are in a marriage range,but you and she still are two different and indepedant human being. As a partner your wife should respect your right and trust you. If she really feels something wrong she should talk with you, instead of checking your mobile or your email,etc. I think how to be a wise wife is a good lesson for all women to learn. it's already very old tradition to keep eyes on husband and try to control him. most of women will fail if they continue to do like that.

ooohh so sad !!!!y dont you talk to her and explain the same ...or you and your colleague togather explain her that situation is some thng esle ...and u both aur just colleague and therz nothng like she thinks

Hi paying! If you really are not doing monkey business then there's no problem if your wife is reading text messages from your mobile. You can clear out things with your wife and even ask your colleague to explain her message. I for one is doing same with my husband's phone. We the wive's has always that intuition if our men is in doing something wrong, I have proven myself right in many instances. And so my husband can't blame me if I'm reading messages from his mobile phone. Cheers!

No, I do not agree. Let me ask you a simple question, put yourself in the situation of your wife then ask yourself what will be your response in that particular situation and you will get the answer. According to me wife is the better half of our life and she is the one who will spend her whole life with her husband and vice versa no matter in what situation we are,i.e. its bad or good? For me she the best friend who never wish anything wrong about me. Even when we are kids our parent used to ask a lot about ourselves. So i do not think it is against privacy.

I think that reading you text messages from your phone without your consent is wrong. Your partner should not be sneaking up on your private things, as it is your phone after-all and the messages are destined for you and only you.

i think this is bad habit,because we must have some faith our partner

thats silly thing... in this case you shold be very careful.don't keep any thing in your message inbox.save her name as mens name. and important thing is don't allow your partner to touch your mobile.Ask the girl to call when your partner is not available.then u can maintain good relationship between your partner and your friend.

yeah sometimes it happens ., especially if you have a jealous wife ., i think the thing that you should do now is to talk to her and tell her to at least give you a privacy when it comes to reading text messages without your consent to avoid misunderstanding and arguments .,

Yes, I think it's not right to read message of others without his/her permission. Trusting takes am important role in all kind of relationship, especially in marriage.
