Do you check your Partner's cell phone?

I don't check it because I don't feel a need to, but if something were to happen that made me suspicious then I think I would look through it. As for whether or not we have the right to look through our partner's phones, emails etc, that's a little more of a gray area. In one way it can be an invasion of privacy but in another if there's nothing there to hide it shouldn't matter. I guess it really just comes down to trust, if you check then you don't trust them and if you don't then you do. But on another side of the coin you would think that if you had incriminating texts and emails (a la Mr. Woods) then you would erase them IMMEDIATELY!

That is a good discussion.My wife can hide an elephant in the house if she wants to.I never had the habit of peeking into her personal belongings ever.She too is not interested in probing my personal things.It has become a natural habit of us born out of the decency we try to practice in every sphere of life.There are lot of things to do in life by ourselves instead of taking interest in the affairs of others.

My husband doesn't go near my cellphone, and if he had a cellphone I wouldn't need to go near his either. My husband and I trust eachother completely, and don't feel the need to spy on eachother.

I never check my husbads cell phone unless he wants me to check something on it. I do clear it out sometimes but I am not looking for something intentionally. I would look at it if I had suspicions though.

I don't because I know I can trust my hubby he hasn't given me reason not to trust him but who knows we have only been married 18 years mayI will fell differently later on if he gives me a reasonnot to trust him

Yup! Never anything suspicious. Sorry for the generic comment but I'm WAAAAAY behind on my friends posts but want everyone to get their pennies, so here I am. Hi and Happy Holidays if we don't cross each others paths before then.

It always shocks me when I hear about people doing things like that... and not just shocks... I actually get angry! Every single one of us is entitled to our secrets (and our privacy). If I found out my partner was cheating on me there would be hell to pay... but I would NEVER find out by invading their privacy like that... nor would I ever employ a private detective to get the dirt on them. Trust is an extremely important thing in any relationship... okay, so some people abuse trust (hey, lets be honest here, we're all guilty of that at times!). But if I were that untrusting, I think it says more about me than about my partner... and I don't like what it says about me!

Hello 34momma, I read my husband's cell phone. He reads mine too. I don't really care whether we have the right to do it. But if we have nothing to hide from each other then there is no question in reading our cellphone. When it comes to email, I was the one who made his primary email, so I know the password but I don't open it just to read his messages. He has a new email account but I don't ask for his password. Take care and have fun red_amethyst

Even if I trust him, just for the heck of it I read some of his messages when I am bored. I really won't see anything there but of course I am a bit curious who texts him so I read it. But I really won't show him i read it. Like only when I have nothing to do and I see it around then I just read one or two.

I don't have any reason to check my partner's cellphone but she do it all the time . But i'm not worried because i'm not hiding anything and i'm confident she will not find anything there either. Although each and everyone needs some privacy, looking into your partner's cellphone should not be a big deal unless you are hiding something. Cheers!

I have before, but not anymore. I once went through a period where I was getting texts from a person saying he was cheating on me [we lived 4 hours apart]. So when he came to visit I searched his phone, because I wanted to be sure. Then I confronted him about it. We talked it out, and solved the problem. Since then I don't check his phone, I go right to him. That may be blindly stupid trust, but I trust him to tell me if there is something he did wrong on his end, just as I would tell him if it were me who messed up. If I get hurt from him not telling me, then I know better from then on. But honestly, he doesn't normally hide things. Though sometimes he acts as though he is.
