Snooping is just like crack - addictive as hell.

But is it ever justified?

Some people believe that the moment you feel like snooping through your partner's or spouse's emails, text messages, etc., you should probably end the relationship, regardless of what the truth is.

Others believe that what you don't know will hurt you and a-snooping they go.

But where do YOU stand?

Do you think you're justified to snoop on your partner or spouse, given the right circumstances or suspicions?

Or do you feel that snooping through partner's or spouse's emails, text messages, etc. is and will always be wrong?

Can Snooping EVER Be Justified?

How will you explain your actions, if you're caught red-handed?

When i go through my hubby's phone, it is not snooping because i have access to the phone anytime, any day and so does he with mine. I don't go through because i want to find something(i won't even see anything there if he doesn't want me to), but maybe because i need to use it or just doing it for fun helping him delete all those MTN messages etc. No time for SNOOPING.

but the very day he starts feeling uncomfortable with me using his phone, then story will definitely change.

Snooping is not ok. The partner might have messages on his phone that contain conversations with his family or his friends, which they only wanted to share with one's partner. I don't want my best friend's husbands to know everything I tell my friends. It is called girl's talk.

When one of the partners feels like snooping though, then he / she is either too mistrustful or has very good reasons to be mistrustful.

To sum it up, snooping is not ok but there is an exception to every rule.

Oh ok.
If you had one harmless opportunity, would you not snoop on your daughter stuff as a parent?

I hope, I will raise my dughter in such a way that I won't find it necessary to snoop on her.

If, however, she gives me a reason to do so, I will.

Why did you then discredit snooping?
Besides is it not possible to snoop on a partner out of sheer goodwill, no ulterior or sinister motives?

Snooping on the partner and snopping on a CHILD are two different things that can't be comapred. How can I treat my partner like a child and vice versa?

It is possible to snoop on the partner out of suspicion. I never said it was right.

There is nothing like snooping in a healthy marriage. You are either hiding something or you are not.

Oh yeah!
ONLY TO "SASSISSFY" curiosity!
Finito!

BISIBODI dey taya?

Abegi, lets forget all the niceties....humans are naturally jealous and permit me to say "if you dont have a bit of jealousy for your partner, then you dont love them". I snoop and she snoops on me...it doesnt matter when you know there is no hidden secrets...
