Guys, why does my boyfriend constantly want to check my phone?

[earthlingkierstyn]

Whenever im with my boyfriend he constantly wants to check my phone like when i get a text from someone he'll grab my phone type in the password and be like "what should i reply?" And ill leave my phone with him in the room and ill come back and he'll be scrolling through my phone lol. It doesn't really bother me cuz i have nothing to hide but its weird how he always does this and he never lets me on his phone when i ask yet he is always on mine.

Wow. Trust issues, jealousy, insecurity. And yet he doesn't let you on his... so add control issues in there too.

First thing, change your password, and don't give it to him. It's your phone, not his. He needs to respect your privacy and your right to space before he can ever learn to respect YOU. And you don't want to be with a guy that's not going to respect you.

A guy that cares about you, really cares about you and not just how you make him feel, will not have the need to control your life like that.

Your boyfriend clearly has no concept of "privacy" and "space", which is why I am not sure this relationship is as stable as it might seem. If he doesn:t let you into his phone, you shouldn't let him in yours either. That, and you guys shouldn't even be in each other's phones.

Ask him if you can review his phone.

He's insecure and your relationship lacks the fundamental trust it needs to survive.

Beat me to it lol

@TJM27

Lol you never stood a chance :P

[earthlingkierstyn]

How could i make him trust me /:

[zorro8888]

You can't make him trust you... Learn the reason for his insecurity and work on that.

[joandjames]

He's either a control freak, extremely jealous or wants to know what you're up to but doesn't know how to have a basic conversation. Sounds like trouble to me.

[Octavion]

You should be bothered by that. I have nothing in my life I am ashamed of but I would be livid if anyone went through my browser history or texting history... Complete invasion of privacy.

[BCRanger10]

It sounds like he doesn't trust you. Have you asked him straight up why he wants to see your phone all the time?

[DarkHumorRUs]

Well, I do like replying to texts on other peoples' phones...

[JustinCaseUDontKnow]

He is insecure and he needs to give you more trust than what he does

[Consultant]

Trust issues--have you given him reason to have trust issues?

[earthlingkierstyn]

No I've never gave him a reason to have trust issues he is just an insecure person i guess ):

[Consultant]

Ya if you've never given him reason then he is definitely insecure.

[earthlingkierstyn]

How could i make him trust me /:

[Consultant]

talk to him, be straightforward.

[JustinTheGreat]

He doesn't trust you, he's afraid you're talking to other guys

[sp33d]

Ask one of your friends to help troll him. Send dirty talks back n forth and then leave your phone with your boyfriend. :D
