Does "Respect My Privacy" Apply To Marriages Too? by aalangel(f): 7:15pm On Aug 27, 2015
When a wife tells a husband or husband tells wife, "please respect my privacy" don't go through my phone, my stuff....Is it right, given the fact that they are married.

everyone is entitled to his or her privacy. We are married,i know but dont go snooping around eg my fone. As a person,i love my privacy,i adore it so hubby must understand.

Marriage doesn't give my partner any right to snoop through my phone at all.. No no

I think it does if you want a long lasting marriage.

If you tell me to respect your privacy as a woman,i'll assume you are hiding something and will in turn boost my curiosity.For husband and wife,that statement should be out of context

if the husband says she should stay off his phone doesn't mean he is a cheat or something (tho some are).

My phone is for my private use.

I leave mine.She has all the time to do whatever she likes with it.So the issue of hiding and checking my phone is eliminated.Let all of us be sincere with ourselves,can you really stay with someone(partner) for years and ignore his or her phone over years?
Re: Does "Respect My Privacy" Apply To Marriages Too? by donholy28(m): 7:48pm On Aug 27, 2015
Yes it is important, it shows that u trust each other and checking d phone means u don't trust d person and ur hoping to find something to prove it...then breakup

let me give you a short story.

a man applied for a job at a particular time but he wasn't lucky to get the job. so after some months, the company called the man for another vacant since he was turn down the first time but his phone was with his wife. so the wife later picked the call to know who was talking unfortunately it was the Secretary of the company that called the man but merely hearing the voice of a Lady on the phone, the wife started abusing the lady calling her husband snatcher without waiting to hear from the Lady.

The man later went tru his phone and saw received call so he called the number back just to know who called but the lady(Secretary) asked him to come their company.

to cut the story short, the manager told him to caution his wife and ask her to stay off his phone cos your mobile phone is meant for only you and no other person. imagine if the man was unlucky, he will definitely lose the job again. this is a story that happened within my neighborhood.

If you are already having sex with someone, there's nothing like privacy again.

OK another one.

two friends planned to attend a party at night so the appointment and time was fixed already but when it was time, for the party, Mr A was very weak and tired so he made up his mind not to go to the party anymore but he didn't inform his friend.

so when it was time, Mr A was asleep already since he was tired so Mr B started calling his phone so that they could meet up.

The wife picked the phone and inform Mr B that her husband is asleep already. Mr B was very angry that why will Mr A give his wife phone to lie to him that he is asleep when they already had and agreement to meet.

Mr A tried to explain to Mr B the next day but Mr B didn't listen since the phone his meant for his private use therefore it was and agreement between him and his wife. that's how the friendship ended

anyone expecting to have their own privacy should live in a house on their own, and probably NEVER have kids!

having a crazy jealous wife has absolutely nothing to do with the subject... if a woman is willing to abuse any female that calls her partner's phone, without prior checking who she is, then that woman need to be locked up in a mental institution. but hey, since your phone can be answered EVEN WHEN IT IS LOCKED, then this example is flawed.

MR A made an error and should have contacted his friend to advise him of his change of plans.

instead, you should limit what you want in life while removing "having a happy family" from such list

Re: Does "Respect My Privacy" Apply To Marriages Too? by Nobody: 10:35pm On Aug 27, 2015
I think the most important thing is to build a trust level so high that you would be very surprised if your spouse should have any reason to go through your phone

That aside*

I believe as humans we all need our privacy, even in marriages. But this privacy thing shouldn't be misused. I don't think I would like it if my wife should go through my phone or laptop everytime I get home back from work. And am very sure she wouldn't like me doing same.

if you are not ready and willing to fully be open and lose any privacy you may "think" you presently have, then there is no reason for you to get married or remotely think of starting a family.

I don't go through my husband's phone and he doesn't go through my phone. Even if we SHARE EVERYTHING and put everything in the open still won't keep a spouse from cheating or leaving.

Do what works for your relationship and don't design your marriage off what others do in their marriages...you will definitely be unhappily married.

Trust your partner and pray that your partner has respect for you and his or her marriage....that is what going to keep your marriage strong....xommunication, trust, and respect not access to a phone.
