should we check our partner phone ?

[zen444]

just out of curious, did you guys check your partner's phone ?

[sundaymorningstaple]

No. Why? Should I? I reckon if I thought I needed to check their phone I shouldn't have married/shacked up with them. Should they, on the other hand, check yours?

[tacoball]

why check your partner phone? unless both of you guys are okay with looking at each other phone.

I don't really check on my partner phone, but sometimes just happened to get it from him to 'play' or update his phone.

[bananahannah]

That's a big no-no!

Here is one of the lines that I live by:

When in doubt, do without.

Not sure if someone came up with this line before I did, but it has served me well.

Whether it’s trying to decide whether to buy something at the store or whether to pursue someone or remain in a relationship... if you have doubts, there is usually a good reason. Maybe not always, but certainly more often than not.

I guess what I’m trying to say is, if you doubt your parter enough to want to access their phone, something is probably wrong with them (or wrong with you).

That or you worked an offshore drilling rig in the O&G industry!

Checking their phone is a huge no for me. It’s a huge breach of trust, if you have doubts or suspicions, just be straightforward and ask. Save yourself any unnecessary misunderstanding.
