Should you pick up your wife or husbands phone?

Hi, it's true that cellphones can be a major headache in a relationship. My friend doesn't have a phone because her boyfriend is always searching it and making a big deal out of everything and yet she's not allowed to search his. So she uses her sister's phone which he cannot touch. He even wants access to her email which i think is just wrong. She's had her email address long before they became friends. I think the best solution should be as long as you can search mine then i'm entitled to search yours.

If you ask me then i say yes they can pick the call whats the problem in that. Friend first of all we should not hide anything infront of our partner. we should be frank in any matter then only we can lead a good life with them. Other wise some times if we hide something then if they came to know few days after then it will be a big issue. I never give chance for that.

I don't really see a need for anyone to answer anyone else's phone unless they are specifically asked to do so. Most people have voice and/or text messaging so, if they miss a call, they'll get the message one way or another. If someone's phone rings and they say "Can you answer that for me please?" or if they have said they are waiting on a call, then the phone should be answered. I do agree that cell phones are causing a whole lot of problems in relationships and they are a huge source of jealousy, insecurity and distrust. I guess I just view a person's phone like their mail - I wouldn't open someone's mail, unless asked to, and I wouldn't answer someone's phone. However, if a couple (spouses or significant others of any form) specifically agree that they will answer each other's incoming calls, then of course it's fine.

hello, if you are relationship and exclusive one then there should be no problem answering the phone. My boyfriend allow me to answer the his phone when I am at his house and I would be the same way if he were at my house. Sometimes it amy feel weird the first few time until most friend know you but then it will be ok. If you are married there should not be a problem at all unless someone is trying to hide something from you. Thanks and have a great day! Sincerley Unique16

That's a good subject for conversation between the 2 of you. There are many topics of conversation that are good to agree upon. Of course any agreement that you make between the 2 of you should be honored.

Of course, I don't see anything wrong with that unless there's something to hide. If my husband don't allow me to access his phone I will doubt that he's hiding something to me. We should be open to each other.

Why not? Its not that you are hiding something from him or her and then you are scared that your secrets are going to be revealed. Its okay for husband and wives to do that.

Both parties must agree about it. Should the girl/gentleman agrees to let her/his partner picks up the phone is very subjective. Some believes that picking up your partner's phone evades ones personal property right and you have probably trespassed someones property. However for some, partners are allowed to pick up the phone, screen the messages and calls for both need to be transparent to each other. Thus, i SAID, THE ISSUE IS SUBJECTIVE AND TO AVOID TROUBLES, BOTH PARTIES MUST AGREE.
