Why won't my boyfriend let me look at his phone? Is it a big deal?

Question

My boyfriend won't even let me touch his phone. Three times he's done this to me.

First time, I was sitting next to him while he was on his phone and I reached over him to grab something and he yanked his phone closer to him.

Second time, he was about to show me something on his phone and I moved closer and looked at his phone and he scooted back.

Third time, he was coming out of the bathroom and his phone was ringing, I picked it up to tell him who was calling and he ran over and yanked it out my hand before I could even say anything.

Big huge red flag, don’t ignore it. I once had my ex do this, keeping his phone really private from me. I had a weird feeling about it but no proof of anything and kept justifying his actions. My friend was actually the one who caught him off guard, she was sitting next to his phone which was on the charger while him and I were in the kitchen making drinks. She told me that “his baby” was calling, and I couldn’t believe it, after 4 1/2 years with him. Pay attention to the signs to universe gives you, don’t sweep them aside how I did.

Seems like it's a big deal FOR HIM. You might ask him why. If you haven't asked to look THROUGH his phone, I don't know what's up with him about it...

Why do you need to see his phone? Do you just not trust him?
Every person has a right to some privacy, and if you can't trust him, when he won't let you see his phone, then it seems you have a TRUST ISSUE!
If I was with someone that kept wanting to see my phone, I would think she didn't trust me, and so how could I trust her, if she is that insecure! Bye Bye!! I would end the relationship!
You can NEVER, EVER have a good, solid relationship without TRUST!!

Sounds pretty suspect. It's invasive to have to go through your partners phone, and I don't recommend that... But if your partner is uneasy about you using their phone for casual convenience, then that's a big red flag. Approach him about and don't accept bullshit run-arounds.

Usually means they are up to no good and trying to hide something , he is probably flirting with other girls and doesn’t want you to see it , When someone is really attached to their phone that is a red flag , it shouldn’t be a big deal if your partner wants to use your phone , when they freak out over it then they are definitely hiding something

Unless you have proved to be the EXTREMELY jealous type, as in you make a scene for him so much as saying "hi" to someone from the opposite sex, then I believe he's hiding something. Privacy or not, nobody gets so paranoid about their significant other looking at their phone

Why you want to touch it so much? To nosy?

I don't like anyone using it, only I can use it.

Why you want to pick it up, are you his secretary? Just get it to him, if you want to be nice, but don't pick up...

I would hate my SO to do it too, why there is nothing for you to find and I will not touch yours, unless she tells me otherwise, but don't expect changes from use of mine...

most likely he is hiding something on it, and that is the start of an unhealthy relationship, although if he used to let you but not anymore, he might be looking at engagement rings.

You sound like a nosey bitch who wants to have total control of who he can or cannot talk to on the phone! If he wants to cheat on you, he will whether you check on his phone or not! So BUTT OUT
