It does depend, if your partner minds. If not you do need to respect his/her privacy. A phone is a private thing and some appreciate having things to themselves.
That being said if you have nothing to hide you won't be bothered, but going through your partners phone knowing he/she has a problem with it is wrong and disrespectful. It shows you have no regards for his/her privacy, which he/she is definitely entitled to. Just because you are the partner doesn't mean you can have unrestricted access to his/her life. He is entitled to not want to privy you to certain things.

My partner is quite open, so he normally gives me his phone to read his texts and what not which I'm still abit uncomfortable doing, at the same time I don't really mind if he goes through my stuff he won't find anything anyway he'd just be wasting his time. We've taken the fun out of snooping! grin grin grin

What is the difference between washing your body with just soap and washing your body with sponge?

I m surprised @ lots of comment here, we should get it into our heads that, there are no private issues as far as u married, be it personal, business or profession. No right thinking spouse expects you to divulged all your day to day activities to him/her unless it concerns him/her or how many you treated or diagnosed with Stds, but if that information comes inform of text, its not private anymore. your spouse should have unrestricted access to you & your information.

no wonder marriages are collapsing these days, because we just refuse to leave and cleave to our spouse. lots of spouses are even envisaging seperation, hence they wont let some info so it wont haunt them later. I usually traveled in company of my pastor, whenever he is driving, he gives his phone to me to attend to his calls & messages, I ve really learnt from that. I dnt get worried if i forget my phone @ home, whether she wil read or not, i was before until i did away with all the rubbish then,

Your "pastor" gives you access to his phone. Note the issue here is he gave you his permission. We're not talking about pastors, we're not talking about you leaving your phone at home. We're talking about not respecting the wishes of your spouse, and going through their text messages, without their express permission for you to do so.

If your spouse is a lawyer or doctor, you're telling me you should have access to her confidential and business issues?? Jesus! What would you want with them? If you feel the Confidentiality Clause is a load of bull, you tell her clients, and see how fast they'll drop your spouse. Not to talk of the legal implications that will ensue. If she's a lawyer or doctor, she could even be struck off the register.

^^^ if you were not married I would have added you to the list of my e-husbands. But that your wife is not to be trusted. I won't be alive to tell my story after she is done with me cheesy grin

That's your solution to everything na . . . "It's and igbo mentality"

When you are ready to discuss things constructively without reference to a particular tribe, you can come back and talk!

Your response is crude. Constructively you are the one who is referring to a particular tribe.

At the risk of sounding 'crude', I think hubby and I do much more un-hygeinic things than using each other's toothbrush! I could be wrong dou.

Re: Is It Disrespectful To Read Your Spouse's SMS? by Nobody: 1:06pm On Sep 07, 2012
^^ explain what? The reason why I answered your question with a question was because you sarcastically tried to prove a point. You did not necessarily Ask that question cos you cared to know, you were trying to send a message across. I am not a child uju. Go ask your dentist how non visible bacteria's easily store in your toothbrushes even after rinsing. There is a difference between sliding your tongue into someone's mouth and actually using a brush to remove debris from your teeth/gum

Abeg I am going back to continue a night time seminar

Wait na before you go!

How was my previous post sarcastic? Maybe it came off as such but it wasn't intended.

I know you are in the medical feild that's why I was asking. I just assumed that any bacteria which could be present in the toothbrush can be gotten from kissing as well.
Re: Is It Disrespectful To Read Your Spouse's SMS? by Nobody: 1:29pm On Sep 07, 2012
Same way Some people wear protection before sex . It does not stop them from having s3x , it just reduces their risks of contracting something. So 'course bacteria could be passed through French kissing.

Sharing toothbrushes could be a quick route to gum infection. It is not just healthy. People use their brush to brush their Teeth and most times the gum not planned though gets a good brush in the process.

Some people react to other forms of contraception and some men are just not comfortable with withdrawing.

So yes, some couple use protection!
