I've enough experience to last me forever and a day.

Yes. But you are aware of the guy before you started dating him. The only reason you're snooping is cause you don't trust him. If you find nothing the trust won't just suddenly develop. It's so much more effective if you just told the guy you're uncomfortable and why. And if he loved you enough he'd change .

No oo! I think it's utterly disrespectful. I know the kind of person I am and if I ever had a man snoop on me to find out something bad about me I'd 100% be done with him. Because trust will not be the biggest thing we will encounter. We're not on a battlefield. We're on the same side of the team. We will have other problems and are you going to solve them by spying on me ? What? It's such atrocious behavior. Will you ask for a DNA test to verify our child is ours ?
lol at you have enough experience to last you..

Trust is earned and not written on the fore head. How can I know what to communicate about if on the outside the guy seems to be a saint? You don live in his head/ heart to know what he really is about?

I am married.

In the beginning and of our courtship, I used to snoop through his phones, just to get an idea of who he was. I had no reason not to trust him. Even after he travelled out of the country for almost two years, I knew who he was, so I was very secure.

Now, a few years into marriage, I was snooping one day and came across a Skype chat with some corper girl in his office which I believed was inappropriate and I told him about it. He laughed it off that it was nothing and was just joking with the girl but I told him it wasn't right and such jokes were not funny.

Another time he was joking with some colleagues where they were discussing some inappropriate stuff and I let him know that I wasn't comfy with such jokes.

Since then I haven't seen any inappropriate chats to any female or with any of his colleagues.

I still go through his devices once a while as I have his password and vise versa, he knows I snoop, I dont hide it.

He has never given me a reason not to trust him but even then, I will still check, if only to help maintain him.

Odunharry:
Do you think going through your partner's phone once a while is right and can you allow your partner go through yours??

As for me , use to hate the habit though I don't have problem with anyone going through my phone until I discovered something years back..

My opinion is simple, Check if you want to check especially if you feeling suspicious or you getting less affection and time from ur partner.

Only people who have something to hide will not allow you check and I don't see what's there to hide form my partner except I have an ulterior motive

why I think it's right if you want to is simple..
It can save from cheating partner, deceitful relationship, heartbreak, disease, forced pregnancy etc etc

CAVEAT Be prepared and be strong to take or face anything you see..
i dont see anything wrong in it. Im currently in a serious relationship with my babe so occasionaly, i check her fone . Im planning to marry her , i need to know the kind of person im dealing with. She also checks my phone. When i first did it, i found som stuffs, i confronted her, she was dating another guy,collecting money frm him bt they never met. She was furious and suprised that i could check her fone, but i dragged the matter with her and she started begging and crying, we settled it. Since then, she also check ma fone. Not a big deal #check and balance.

Well I'm not one to decide how your marriage should and shouldn't work. But for me. That's just not something I would do.

I'm not married but my mum lived away from my dad for 13 years. My mum wouldn't see my dad for years at a time. And she had 100% faith in him. I think that represents love a lot more than having to spy. My father is not the type of man to ever cheat or flirt but that's not written on his forehead. She knew the kind of man he was. She never had to check his phone or ask for Facebook passwords and whatnot. And my parents have the best communication I've ever seen in a couple. When situations arise my parents will always talk about it, they can always put eachother feelings into consideration. Not plotting.

I personally just think that's a waaaaay better way to learn to trust a person. I'd rather come in with an open mind.

My past relationships have taught me a lot. Messages can be deleted. You can be snooping daily and he can still be cheating on you. I just with my feelings. And if I don't like the way I feel and I tell him and nothing changes then I leave. It's a win win situation for me too.

except she wants to play game with my phone, why would she go through my phone to check my messages? even though I don't have anything to hide, to me, it is sheer expression of distrust

Why can't you allow someone you're romantically involved with even your husband check your phone yet you don't have a problem with other persons checking your phone? Aren't you supposed to be open to each other?

Our openness to each other isn't with our phones...If I check his phone,i must "see something"...and since I can't check his phone,he must not touch mine

In my opinion, I'd say that if ur relationship seems perfect enough, then it's better to save urself the trouble of going through his phone... Because there's every likelihood u may see sth that wouldn't go down well with u, even if it's not sth actually bad. It may just be some silly jokes he makes with his female friends, or a particular girl he talks with quite often or usual guys - talk.


But when u see stuffs like that, u'd most certainly get irked up and strt nursing unnecessary doubts. So, my dear, unless u suspect foul play, pls don't snoop around.

Your opinion ain't bad, by the way.. you look beautiful and your face looks familiar

I am not legally tied down, so it's legally and criminally for him to be going through my phone,is not every secret of your life you share with your friend, there are some family and official issues you may have converse on your phone, because of his prying attitude I don't feel comfortable keeping those things on my phone, he should know before he was there others have been trying to make move, I won't make them enemies because of him. He was only being insecure.

The fact that he marries you does not mean he can't divorce you. What am saying is, u being girlfriend sound unofficial to you, and u want that paper/document saying you are married. This is not like olden days, if you guys get married and he is tired of you, he can still divorce you/ or cheat on you. So you want to do it right the first time, no rushing. Keep your options opened, just shows that you would marry anybody that gives you a ring. You shouldn't dwell too deep in the fantasy of marriage.

Well,i go through my boyfriend's phone like every second i have an opportunity,i read his messages,watsapp,facebook,vault messages,and the truth is that i do it mostly involuntarily,sometimes i try so hard not to touch his phone but i can't control it. I know he luvs me and i luv him but he cheats on me,he tries to hide it by using vault to hide all the calls and messages but i still unlock them,sometimes i stay awake all night when i visit him to browse the phone and i don't know how to stop,i get hurt everytime i go tru his phone. I called 2a of those girls and warn them to leave him alone and i know they report it to him but he will never ask me and he will still behave normal as if he didn't hear anything.I know u guys will advice me to leave him but i can't because i have a phobia of loneliness.and i am so used to him and i love him.

Have a conversation with him, tell him how you feel. Tell him he shouldn't use Vault or any lock apps, to hide his messages. Ask him if he is cheating? If he doesn't do any of this things, or he has been cheating, then you shouldn't waste your time in the relationship. Just move on, it will be hard, but its for the better.

You don't understand my point, going through someone's phone is criminal, there should be some boundaries when one is in a relationship. What if he uses the details he gets from my phone against me? Am not a Disney Princess that sees relationship as all and all, it's contractual and if any of the party can't keep to the terms and conditions, it's pertinent for dissolution to take place in the relationship.

Yea i acept its nt gud 2snoop xpecialy in a relationship dts open, bt nt when there is a CHANGE IN CHARACTER,true smetyms we may hv flirt comunications (calls,txts,chats) wth smeone who is nt our lover nd we maynot mean 2hv anything 2do wth such person, bt do u knw dat temptation cmes 2a man who mkes himself a target 4it? if u continue flirtin dt guy/gal nd say its jst 2wyl away tym,there is no tym u wont fall 2temptation. so my advice alway tel anybody nd everybody how u nd ur partner luv each oda, hv his/her pic on ur fone nd dnt try 2hide his/her identity frm anybody. there is nothing dt makes a wooer loose interest in u than dis,trust me it realy wrks. if u do dis to each oda then u hv a trust worthy relationship. most guy wooers wil persist sha, bt if u truely luv ur guy kip mentionin how luvin he is, dt wooer go stil tire nd leave u alone.
