For the other husbands out there, if your wife was doing this - would it eventually drive you insane? Especially if you had nothing to hide to begin with? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 5410596 I'm a private person so I would feel violated if she went through my phone she knows this and respects it. I give the same respect to her. Been married 22 years and I notice the younger couples I see have very little trust in their partners and constantly spy on each other. |

Background - I am married. No infidelity on her or my part. This is a heated point of contention between the two of us. She feels it is normal and acceptable while I am insistent that this breeds mistrust and is beyond unacceptable, beyond normal and beyond unhealthy. I have no interest in getting her to simply agree to stop doing this. I want her not only to stop - but to also realize and acknowledge how incredibly wrong the act is. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 5410596 As to the act itself. If, at the end of the day (or at any point during the day), your wife made it a habit to take your phone and go through your entire texting history from that day as a point of routine, what would you think? My wife insists she is only trying to stay informed. I am of the opinion that 99% of the population would think their spouse is suspicious of something if this was a daily habit - be it suspicious of infidelity or other secrets. All that being said - to be clear - I have no problem with my spouse picking up my phone should a message come in and reading it. I have no problem with my spouse using my phone. I have no problem with my spouse seeing my communication history. I’m talking specifically about the act of going through your message history text by text by text. In your opinion, would this breed suspicion on the part of a husband? I have nothing to hide, but simultaneously, I think any reasonable person would think that their wife suspects them of something if this was a daily routine. Both men and women, married and unmarried - please chime in. She’s cheating bro. Been there. Run. |

If she doesn’t have any reason to suspect any cheating and you haven’t given her any reason to mistrust you, then no, that is not normal. Is she traumatized from some past relationship? Or is she that insecure? I hope you can help her heal. IDGAF |

Two, I suspect she suspects drug use on my part (I had a dangerous habit at one point - though not during our marriage. Three, she is psychologically incredibly insecure and has an unhealthy need to consume excess information for whatever reason. |

Married 18 years and my husband and I use each other’s phone constantly, we haven’t felt the need to check messages. I did put a stop to this at the beginning of our marriage. She was so off put by it, that she went for a long period of time refusing to even touch my phone or look at it in protest. The issue has resurfaced. |

I have no problem with my spouse picking up my phone should a message come in and reading it. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 5410596 I have no problem with my spouse using my phone. I have no problem with my spouse seeing my communication history. I have nothing to hide Every one of those statements raises flags. This "I have nothing to hide" bullshit is the same naivety thrown around by those who are okay with tech companies knowing your minute-by-minute location down to a few feet of error. It's privacy 101. If a message comes in and it's within eyeshot of her, that's reasonable. But picking up your phone of her own accord, that raises a red flag to me. It's great that you trust your wife enough to not have a problem with her knowing your general communication history. She should trust you enough to not need to look at your phone even occasionally. The fact that she doesn't raises a red flag. The fact that it's habitual raises even more flags, and is what you're talking about, but it's the FIRST flag to which I think attention should be directed. |

Simply say no. You have no obligation to show her your phone. Honesty and doing right by her are your obligations and should be clearly understood since you're married. If your not concerned about her texts and reading them but she insists on reading yours. something is up and needs to dealt with. |

My husband and I use each others phones on a daily basis. No problem. I'm older now but during crazy hormone shifts us ladies can get quite insane and feel extremely insecure. It will eventually blow over, just try to keep any text messages that might start a fight or make her feel insecure deleted off your phone. It's a good thing, after work before you get home, delete your daily text messages and phone call logs. Don't delete everything or that will arise suspicion and cause trouble too. Keep her logs and your buds so it doesn't look like you cleared your entire phone. |
