~Sauron~:

It is very wrong but it depends on the rules SET.
I have never picked up a partner's phone. . . . .I am too lazy for that.

eldee:

So true . . . even picking up my own call after 9pm is almost a Hullic task
Why would I spend my time picking up sumone's phone??

HR.hotness:

I can't be bothered to even if i knw d person. . . unless i was asked (nicely) to

i do enjoy reading their txt msges tho, just for kicks

~Sauron~:

Insecurity makes men go that far.
I just can't be bovvered about triple-beaming any backpacking partner.

eldee:

Picking up a patners calls is even an insult to her intelligence
Why would a cheat leave her phone with you when she know sumone will call??
C'mon women aren't that daft

~Sauron~:

If u read ma txt messages, i would XXXX you.

HR.hotness:

trust me, i hav seen it all, nuthin to get ur undies in a bunch for

~Sauron~:

Of course. . . . .
U need the brain power of Jack Bauer to catch a cheating woman.
Pussy-footing around her phone is a futile exercise.

~Sauron~:

Seen what all??
U haven't seen anything if u haven't seen me.
Food for thunk!!

igwe 1:

thanks to you all,
whereby there is good understanding between husband and wife,
[/b]i will say [b]Yes but for boy friend/girlfriend it depends on the caller id.

who knows it could be an important call for your spouse.

HR.hotness:

got that right!

chika98:

Seems you've got marriage on your brain. Who is the lucky girl?

~Sauron~:

Of course. . . . .

chika98:

I know right? I don't pick calls but i read txts.

igwe 1:

still considering!!!!!!

eldee:

You can't read my texts, I delete the good ones ASAP

*Morenike:

If he has no problem with it, I'd pick it up.

I have nothing to hide on my phone, all am asking is, leave me a mesage and tell me who called.

ndumart:

You go see wetin ur eyes dey find.

It all boils down to being jealous and obsessive, and like Sauron said, Insecurity.
Its utterly childish to pick up a partners phone.

*Morenike:

Jokes apart, what's so childish about it?

Unless you got sth to hide, then you'd not have a problem with it.

Insecurity? maybe. Childish, maybe not.

And it's not as if you're picking up his phone while he's sitting right there. If he's unavailable, then pick am and leave a message.

Now, snooping arouind his phone is another thing, that one is 100% insecurity.

chibykelin:

thanks igwe for the answer

I don't think it's such a good thing to do. I have no secrets but I hate people going through my phone and reading my texts, chatting with my friends. I went out with a guy who would answer my phone and chat with the person first before giving me the phone. Like he didn't even know who it was. I don't like that kind of over familiarity, like it's not that serious.

Even if there are no secrets in the relationship, everyone always need a little space, like at least e-mail and phone should be personal space unless the person expressly gives permission each time to answer the phone or read texts or email or whatever.
