I do not monitor...not consciously anyway. If you leave trails like interacting intimately with a guy on your FACEBOOK TIMELINE and it appears on my wall, how am I suppose not to be cognizant of it?

I guess I am wired differently - NO ACTION BY A FEMALE WOULD MAKE FLABBERGASTED. When she starts turning coat, I'll notice...but I'll act oblivious while I reduce what we have to something lower - friends with benefit. By time you realize I was already in the know of your shady dealings, you'll realize I was the one really using you

Why should you monitor your partner? Are you a monitoring spirit? undecided

Relationships are built on Love which encompasses so many things like trust, faithfulness, compassion, etc.

While so many others would disagree on Love being key, cos of our different ways of defining love, yet we all agree that Trust is the watchword. smiley

Only people who are distrustful, insecure and pessimists engage in such demeaning activities. grin

There is no rule that states whether it's wrong or right.

Sometimes it's just for the good of the relationship not to bother yourself with somethings that will cause damage to it.

But sometimes curiosity may get the better part of us and we'll see ourselves checking his/her phone and messages.

I believe in periodic checking and asking of questions though.

Don't just stay there and be left oblivious of what is going on. It may be very devastating when you finally find out.

Trust me. smiley

Even if there are no rules that state so. Checking of your partners phone call logs, txt msgs, emails, is a total violation of personal space. Everyone has a right to some sort of privacy.

This is not necessarily because he/she is a cheat, but having a mindset that something fishy might be going on is just as close as being paranoid.

I think its a NO NO. The thing is it becomes a habit, you begin to see little things and blow them out of proportion. Sometimes it could be a total misunderstanding. These things could have been avoided if the partner didn't start getting all nosy.

The very fact that you started being suspicious would automatically lead you to find something. (Might be totally not what it seems like, but your mind has been made a detective and would definitely find a fault)

[b]It may not necessarily be checking the phones,,messages and all other means of communication.

But asking questions if you are in doubt of something to be clear. I wouldn't want to see what i'm suspicious of and keep quiet just because I don't want to come off as insecure.

That's pretence to me.

In a normal healthy relationship,,partners are not supposed to hide anything in the first place. They shouldn't act in a way that their other partner will be suspicious.

Trust me,,if your partner doesn't act in a shady way you will not have the need to be suspicious and start snooping around. Yes,,it may turn out that whatever she/he is hiding from you may not be what you think it is but it's better to know about it.

I don't see asking questions and checking of messages as infringing of personal rights in a relationship.

If you don't want anybody to bother you and start asking you questions or checking your phone,,then simply stay single.

Albeit,,everything is required in its moderate level and not too overdone. As that is when there will be a big problem leading to trust issues and insecurity.

Beat it, troll. I see you've be courting my attention since King Lekan created that thread yesterday. Continue frolicking with your simpleton, 'weedstars' crew - it's all you'll ever be known for. I don't converse with clowns.

~ No It isn't right...

Insecurity and constantly being paranoid is the cause of this.
If you keep doing it, you pass off as a creep or a stalker.
and most of the guys here are guilty of this

The theory is this- If you are always monitoring your girl and always feel insecure then its either she's too good for you or you aren't up to her standards, and thus, the fear of her being snatched by another dude kicks in.

HaroldFinch:
I don't think it helps. It only fuels your anger and hatred more. Nobody is perfect and 'monitoring' will only allow your eyes to feed on your partner's secrets and flaws, which you also have. Whenever you're in doubts, call your partner and discuss as opined above. Communication helps a lot. I once monitored an ex and it became a disease. I wish I had used all those time for better things. We ended up breaking up cos I discovered lots of things that I found difficult to erase. I'm pretty sure if she had 'monitored me too, the same thing might have happened. In sum,' monitoring ' is like playing God. Start appreciating the good things in your partner and discuss things you find inconvenient.

The topic says it all, do u think it is right to monitor your partner?

By monitor, I mean; always checking his/her phone, making sure you know ALL of his/her friends, always noting every activity carried out by him/her on all their social sites (e.g Nairaland, facebook, twitter, IG...), and so on.

I have my opinion on this but need to hear yours. Let's talk.

Good morning.



If a guy/girl wanna keep to sanity, it's better to stay clear of those..... especially if they're the jealous type.
