To Snoop Or Not To Snoop... by BABE3: 10:17pm On Aug 10, 2015
...that is the question.

In this day and age, they say a smartphone says a lot about a person than words of mouth. So in a relationship(any kind of relationship), is going through your partner's phone/laptop advisable ?

•Some say "Snoop!".
Snooping has saved a lot of people from STDs. Snooping has made some so called main chics realized they were side chics. Snooping has even prompted a father somewhere to know that he is not the father of his 2 kids.

•Some say "Don't snoop, you have to trust him/her".
However, the trust you have in someone has no bearing on what the person will do or will not do. Trusting is a personal decision just like "faith", it has no impact on the truth.


So, what say ye ?

If you feel like snooping, then you already have no or little trust. The question is why. Are you generally a suspicious, mistrustful or jealous person or does your significant other give you the impression that you can't trust him or her.

Not to snoop is the best but how easy it is

You should build a trustworthy relationship from the beginning such that going through his or her phone is not considered a snoop.I wake up in the night seeing my wife browse with my phone.

That is for those that can't handle the truth.

I say to snoop is the best. What do you have to lose if you snoop? Matter of fact, you have a lot to gain. "Snooping" sounds kinda invasive but you get the point. I don't think going through your partner's phone should be a big deal.


Mindfulness:

Those questions are kind of irrelevant. The point is, is there anything bad in wanting to know the truth?

Don't snoop!

What you didn't see can't make you sad undecided
Re: To Snoop Or Not To Snoop... by cococandy(f): 11:28pm On Aug 10, 2015
Look but don't snoop cool

Y'all should have access to each other's phones without hiding to see what's in it.

If you check my phone because you need to use it is ok but if you do for the purpose of snooping, you break my heart. Doing that will make me start to lose respect for you subconsciously.

If after being open, sincere and putting deliberate effort to make you feel at ease and you still think you should be snooping on me, I guess I was wrong thinking you have little trust in yourself.

For you to snoop on your spouse's phone means you don't trust yourself, hence your spouse shouldn't be trusted.

And why would using my spouse's phone or vice-versa be termed "snooping"? He uses my phone and I uses his too. And I believe that's how marriages should be, because by the virtue of marriage, the two people involved are already one.

Anything short of this in a marriage shows there's no trust in such marriage.

Absolutely nothing wrong with seeking the truth but does the end justify the means?

with those 4 people you can safely say none of them have ever disappointed you at one point or another?
Re: To Snoop Or Not To Snoop... by Gabbyswit(f): 11:12am On Aug 11, 2015
You've already given us the answer, ițs important you know each other a lot and trust yourselves so much that no matter the situation their is openness. If there is openness i should be able to go through your phones make calls with it and do what ever i want With it. Its not called snooping its called sharing thats what relationships are about.

I am not against couple using each other's gadgets be it phone or laptop but doing so with the purpose of snooping is a turn-off.

If you are in a serious relationship there should be nothing to hide. Its just that these days people no longer stay purely faithful. They want to eat around and maintain one main person.
