Having a cool mother in-laws is something most people would like but its turning to something else for me.
When ever she is around, she picks my phone and immediately enters my WhatsApp messages.at first I felt she make a mistake but last night makes it the 5th time it's happening.

yesterday, I slept off in the living room and by the time I woke around 12am, I discovered my phone was not by my side. I searched for it everywhere and when I still could not find it, I proceeded to my wife's room to pick my wife's phone and call my line, to my amazement, I saw my mother in-laws on my phone.

I was angry at first but I had to control myself i collected the phone and I discovered she was in my email and Facebook messaged and she even knows my unlock pattern.

am tired of this but I don't want to disrespect her. how do I deal with this.


Sounds like a joke.

Are you actually a man or just some weakling?, it appears your mother in-law that looked at you as someone very confident, it's good to be respectful but it's stupid to allow yourself to be taking for a fool,better man up put your feet firmly to the ground. my mother in-law checking my phone in my house!,God forbid!!,she would certainly know whether I'm her servant or the husband of her daughter. in the first place I don't really like the idea of living with any in-law.

You have to put your foot down and dont be a chicken!
Tell her face-to-face and be a man to STOP invading your privacy and also WARN your wife to STOP her from visiting you guys.
If she does not want to, then DIVORCE her, except you do this, you may never be RESPECTED!
What nonsense!!!!

You married her daughter, you're a man in all sense of it. Now if you don't do manly things and define clear boundaries in your house, she might end up walking your friends out someday.
Tell her in clear terms not to go through your phone again. It's not disrespect, it's called private

You don't necessarily need to tell her anything for peace to continue to reign.

Just change the password or pattern, that's all.

If she can't assess it, she will give up.

Action is better than words

I don't want to be disrespectful but sir you're write up is tempting me,you're the man of the house and yet you're relegating yourself to a third class member of your own house.what right does your mother inlaw have to walk into your matrimonial room without knocking? it pains me whenever I see this kind of post here ,I wonder why some men can't man up and act like a supposed man for once. ur asking for opinion when you can easily warn the old lady to mind her territory and stay off your shit,maybe next time she'll walk in while you're making out with your wife and slap you then you'll still come here and ask us what to do.Still no disrespect sir!

This is funny. You can't password your phone and make it better secured? In fact, lock your social networking apps with passwords too!

I don't blame him. We have no idea what sort of people are there in that family, their orientation, values, mentality. Have you considered how serious they might take the issue if he talks sternly to his mother-in-law? I know it's the right thing to do in this case, but this is Nigeria where too many people have stone age values and think like baboons. Such a reaction might be blown out of proportion, a mole hill having a mountain made out of it.

The best he can do is to always lock the door to his matrimonial room both when he's in and when he's out. Always keep his phone close to him, with security lock. And he can have his wife tell her mum that she doesn't like what she does with her husband.

Sad that we're always limited and restricted by the cognitive level at which most people in the society operate, don't you think?

What sort of nonsense is that? Not even your wife but mother in law. Haba! Wonders shall never end. Which means she sees your account balance, bank alerts and transactions. I don't know the type of man you are. May be the woman and their family are providing and feeding you.

Op and tales. Another annoying tale from OP in his sickening quest for attention.

This tale alone can get you lynched for portraying the image a classic weakling.

It is possible your mother in-law is out to destroy you subtly .. She is a murder in-law in disguise,please stop honoring a dishonorable woman..confront her to the chagrin of her daughter & end the nonsense at once.
Re: My Mother In-Law Checks My Phone, How Do I Stop Her? by k9ine(m): 4:31am On Jun 29, 2017
Oga, there is nothing disrespectul about telling her not to touch your phone.
Tell her not to touch your phone. If she is sensible she would know her actions are very wrong.
Next change your phone lock.
You are the man of the home and you are here complaining like a child. The sooner you deal with this and draw the line, or one day you would wake up and find her directing and supervising your home.
Will your own mother do this to you?
Re: My Mother In-Law Checks My Phone, How Do I Stop Her? by linearity: 4:44am On Jun 29, 2017
Clearly, the fault is yours; you didn't set any clear boundaries, plus she does not respect you or privacy period!

There is nothing you can do about her not respecting privacy, but you can start setting boundaries.

She even come into your bedroom, when you are sleeping or taking a nap, I think you have more issues to deal with than your phone.

I just hope your wife is strong willed and independent minded, else I foresee some challenges ahead. Her curiosity will not end, if you block direct access like your phone, bedroom, etc; she might start using her daughter. My friend, you have your work cut out for you, marriage is not easy, sometimes it involve delicate balancing acts like these....wishing you the best!

Use the finger printing method to lock your phone. That's insane, cos even your parent doesn't have the right to touch your cell.

it's as Simple as changing the Password.

You don't have any Problem bro. Just change the password & problem solved. Don't even discuss about the issue with your wife. I'm sure she knows about it already.
