Is it okay for my wife to delete mesages on MY phone

My wife has deleted pictures from my phone of her. She says that she doesn't like how she looks in them or they are naughty pictures and doesn't want them falling into the wrong hands. We've been married for about a year now and we got some interesting phone calls from an UNK number. We think it's my ex girlfriend of 5 years. She had a text conversation wth my wife and then they were deleted. I have no idea what was said and I am upset that she is keeping me in the dark.

  • It depends who took the original photo, if you took it then you are the lawful owner of pic not her, if she took pic then she is lawful owner, as for messages, unless she wants you to delete stuff from her phone she should leave yours alone, if the messages are to you or from you they are yours not hers.

    • However, even if he took the pictures, she should have the right to restrict where they go if she is the subject of them and they are potentially compromising.

    • true

  • She probably doesn't like your ex...

    Marriage is about compromise. Tell your wife you won't text your ex or care that your ex messages were deleted... But you get to keep naughty pictures of her on your phone.

  • If she is deleting "naughty" pictures OF HER, then honestly I do feel she has the right to delete them if she wants to. She SHOULD have the right to control where those end up. However, I don't think she has the right to delete anything else from your phone or to use your phone without your permission.

    • So? Who cares? It's not her property to deal with. And just cause he has naughty pics doesn't mean he thinks of that girl higher than his wife or even really thinks about the sh*t. It's just stupid and insecure of her to have done so. The only person who has a right to control those pics are the person who has them.

    • Ah, that's where I was confused. I thought the pics were of his ex. Still, even if the photos were his wife, if she was consenting in letting him take them or took them herself, once he's got them they're still his and his to decide what to do with. Being her husband he should respect her opinion as well, but if he really doesn't want to delete em, well, by law they're his.

    • Maybe, but she should have said no from the start if she was going to have a problem with it. People gotta think better on their decisions and actions and the consequences that could come.

  • She's your wife , Of course she can . She's just not any girl , If she told you to eat your cheerios you better eat it .

  • are you okay with that do you mind her deleting your messages from your cellular

    • I do mind. I down loaded her pic for me to enjoy. And I have no idea what was said and I want to know. This is my life to not just her in the marriage.

    • did you read the document before you sign it once you sign the marriage document you are giving your rights away . you did not just married her but her family and the government . though you should start erasing her things once you do that and she response to that tell her well you erase mine so is only fair I erase yours too honey ..there is no way she can argue that

    • Being married to someone does not eliminate your right to keep your phone private. That is something for each married couple to agree on as they both see fit.

  • She's wrong to touch your phone like that. And I'll bet she's a hypocritical bitch cause if you touched her phone and deleted pics/such I bet she'd flip a sh*t.

    • I agree it was wrong of her to delete some of the things she deleted. But you do realize that some of what she deleted was "naughty" pictures of her, right? It seems to me that for that part anyway, she was justified.

    • No, you don't understand. The pictures were OF HER.

    • That said, if my husband had naughty pictures of another girl on his phone, I wouldn't like it and I feel justified in that opinion. But I wouldn't go deleting them, that wouldn't solve anything.

  • photos of her yes and smash the phone if the photos are of her nude if you showed the photos to a friend

  • I'd suspect something other than an ex of yours, in your case. Voted B, I'd be pretty pissed off.

  • Pictures of herself, yes, I'm pretty sure they're considered her property.

    "Anything she wants," including that conversation, no.
