My grandma is very old school and one time my boyfriend tried grabbing my phone out of my hands while I was reading something and he was like " let me see lol" But he didn't make it seem demanding it was more like playing around but at the same time it was demanding if that makes sense. It's odd because he really isn't that type of person but for some reason he wanted to see my phone and I didn't let him and it was so awkward because this was in front of my grandma. My grandma didn't say anything until the next day and told my mom about it and then spoke with me about how I should never let a guy treat me like that because that's an early sign of an abusive relationship or that he could be demanding. She told me a guy and a girl both deserve some privacy. I assurred her she has nothing to worry about. I do have stuff to hide though such as embarassing photos of my belly because I was trying to lose weight so I took before pictures for my eyes only and don't want him to see me looking all fat lol I also had embarassing stuff I search like politics that he's against, searching things like medical personal stuff that I may be dealing with so stuff like that. But if his phone dies and needs to use mine then that's fine.
If he thought I was cheating then I'd be pissed and his going through my phone would likely end the relationship regardless of the outcome.
My phone literally just died yesterday - need a new one, the battery is messed up or something - and we've been sharing his phone for our various phone needs until I can get a new one (we're on our honeymoon right now so it'll have to wait another week). So... I've had access to his information and stuff but haven't gone snooping. I guess, in the interest of fairness, he now deserves access to my new phone lol
In theory yes... but I would not give her my phone simply because she demanded it unless I was at the point of trusting her completely. She is not entitled to my privacy. If she's concerned about something I'll do my best to show that there is no need to worry about me being loyal or anything like that, but I do not owe her my privacy. I have close friends who have trusted me with their secrets and have put their trust in me by sharing stuff about their struggles with me. I have nothing to hide, but that doesn't mean my friends don't. If I could trust my girlfriend wholly to respect the privacy of my friends then I'd let her look through my phone in a heartbeat. As far as I'm aware I have nothing to hide though... the youtube videos I watch may make me look a bit childish and that would be somewhat embarrassing. At any rate...
if possible i really don't want to, because not only is it my own privacy, it is also the privacy between me and my friends and family. the private things we talk about, which anyone would expect to us to keep it to ourselves because there's that unspoken trust between us as friends or best friends. i doubt she would want other people to read the things we talk about in our text messages, too.
i don't need them to read through my text messages, read some embarrassing things my friend told me in the past that he only wants me to know. then one day they meet and she starts bringing it up and my friend gets angry and possibly thinks i make fun of him behind his back or something and a huge drama starts to erupt between me and my friend. i don't want some shit like this ever happen.

I would tell my girlfriend that I have nothing to hide and she can search through my phone. I would also tell her that if she feels the need to search my phone, it means that she does not trust me and no relationship can survive without trust.
Nope because he's like a superhuman with technology so he can hack it instead. He has to work to find nothing but playlists, pictures, and shopping orders if he doesn't trust me.
Mine wanted to, which I didn't like, but women in her Country think Western guys are Players and they are very jealous, so I went along with it.
I've nothing to hide but at the same time it is like he doesn't trust me, and intruding NY privacy.
***my
Of course always, there is no problem
Nope. He uses my phone all the time because, although he has his own now, it's just a really simple phone that has no extra functions on it, so he uses mine to use the internet or to play games or take pictures or whatever. I have absolutely no problem with that, I'm more than happy for him to use it because I trust he's just doing what he says, not spying on me. However, if he asked if he could go through it and read my stuff to see what I'm doing, I'd refuse and take away access to the phone, I just see that as too invasive and creepy. Using my phone is fine, going through it isn't.
I would let my girlfriend go through my phone since I do believe I deserve to have that privacy but I wouldn't want her to get nervous if I didn't let her. I would never ask my girlfriend if I could look in her phone since I trust her and respect her privacy (like it should be in any relationship). Although, if you suspect your boyfriend/girlfriend of cheating I don't think there is any shame in asking to see their phone and if your partner cares about you enough they will let you see so that you sleep better at night.
No I wouldn't let my man go through my phone. There is always a possibility that there is something he may not like. Not hiding anything but the chances that a person is going to not find something wrong on your phone is extremely slim. Ignorance is Bliss!!!
I don't have shit to hide. What're you worried about them finding? Got a porn folder on your phone? Been taking candid pictures of women's feet? You thirsty on PoF maybe? Been texting someone way too strongly? If you're not doing something you shouldn't be doing, there shouldn't be a problem.
M*********** there is no problem what here whatsoever dude you can look through this phone all you want to you guys go through my phone's you f****** hack into it and try to take s*** off of it push it onto it doesn't matter what's on this f****** phone I screenshot everything even at any time I even make a phone call even if it's somebody I know or you don't know I still screenshot it so I can get a Time log everything is backed up into a cloud and has been for months and months you're losing you don't even f****** realize it
Listen I would blow that girl's brains out for a dollar if it meant my daughter could have another $0.50 the one thing that she doesn't have that I have is knowing the fact that my daughter is going to love her father when they when she turns 16 unlike her daughter's not going to know they're not even going to want anything to do with her
All the money in the world can't fix that
And now I don't have a p*** folder on my phone I don't watch born in this phone is brand new but I'm sure you if you want to hack into it and put some on there I'm sure you're going to already so f*** it why not
XD so I guess the asker is your girlfriend, then. She made it anonymous for a reason. No one's actually pointing fingers at you, we all just answered our opinion on a general question. I don't know your details and I don't care. If you've got nothing to hide, you've got no reason to cry.
I always let my ex see my phone when she wanted because I never used it for anything. I used Google Maps, Facebook, and took pictures. She got so bored with it she stopped asking after a year or two. Maybe I should have looked at her phone too, probably was sexting or something across all the social media shit she had on there.
Why should he? Why should she go through a guy's phone?
If your relationship is SOOOOOOOO lacking in TRUST, that you want to look through their phone, then you are done, as a couple!
I would NEVER look through a Girlfriend's phone, even if she left it, as a 'test' to see if I would. If I cannot trust my partner, how can we have a relationship that works?
I think it's a matter of personal privacy. I mean that just because you trust your significant other and vice versa it doesn't mean that they should be let into everything you do. Even if I know that she wouldn't find anything on my phone that would she would find concerning I still value my privacy and that is to be respected!
Cheers
If it were a requirement or demand, as is the case with controlling, abusive relationships, no. But that isn't the case, and I really don't care if he touches my phone because I have nothing to hide and I know he isn't looking through everything trying to find something that isn't there.
Not that I have anything in my phone that she can’t see but it’s more out of principle that I’d say no. I would like her to trust me and not feel the need or desire to go through my phone. If she was concerned about something or wanted to to know an answer I’d rather her ask me directly. Even if it’s asking me to show her something in my phone.
ya why not... just make sure to delete anything suspicious before hand lol... I even do that know when I meet friends and bring my iPad to show them stuff
I have to clean out all the sexy girls and dirty pics... take away anything suspicious so its presentable 😂
I would always. Relationships are about trust. I have nothing to hide. I would also appreiciate my partner letting me know who she's talking to until I feel I trust her easily. Trust needa time to build and can easily be ruined. I would hate if I asked her "Hey, who ya texting?" and she replies "Why do you need to know?" or "Oh just a friend." I wouldn't say it's a deal breaker, but it's suspicious and cloak and dagger like.
I dont like it but if she asks, i will. My ex and i decided to use the same password for both our phones but we trusted each other enough that I've never unlocked her phone and neither has she unlocked mine.
But I was forced by my parents to break up. So our bond was broken not by distrust but by my folks.
Mmmmm, maybe... maybe not. There are some personal messages I have between friends that maybe I wouldn’t want him to see. Other than that, I don’t really see any problem with him going through my phone - all of what I have can be explained (i rarely delete photos/texts).
I dont know. I would have to be allowed to go onto his phone too if that was the case. But there should be a mutual trust in the relationship and we shouldn't have to feel the need to go onto each others phones. Phones are a very personal thing and sometimes one talks to their friends or family membors about something private or sometimes you have to google something awkward haha
No! She either trusts me or she doesn't. If she's so paranoid that she needs to look through my phone (which also has my friend's private information) then she can go date some capitulating loser who lets her put his balls in her purse.
People like that would look through your diary if you kept one.
