Your partner asks, "can I see your phone?" Are you in trouble?


- My ex used to ask me if he could use my phone because of my Internet. Anyways after having it over one day I panicked.
Oh shit! Then I asked for it back.
He fought with me and pushed me so hard I hit my head on the wall beside the bed.
He accused me of cheating.
I was really confused as to why he thought I'd be cheating via my Internet...
I deleted my browsing history.
He left. When he returned I explain to him that I was suffering from anxiety.
That I had been having counseling and I was embarrassed to tell him. I was referred for cbt and I had a work book and online workspace with videos etc to work through as homework to help my treatment of cbt.
I explained to him that since he always said I was sensitive and looking for someone to hold my hand I didn't want to tell him as he'd just assume I was looking to put him under pressure to help me.
He told me in the future not to hold these things in and that if that's true. I shouldn't be afraid to tell him.
Anyways I never cheated but I ended things not to long after that. Physical violence is not acceptable and his reaction to anger so quick really wasn't cool.0|00|0Is this still revelant?

- Anonymous1 moOkay honestly I cheated in the past and he looked at my phone behind my back n thats how I was caught. We worked things out and things have been great for a while now but him looking at my phone was 4 years ago and I have nothing to hide now but still have major anxiety about my phone. I hate leaving it near him if im leaving the room.. I think its because he broke my trust and looked at it instead of letting me come forth and say hey i did this. He definitely had a good reason to look I agree. But I don't know how to get over this anxiety feeling.0|00|0Is this still revelant?
You are not cheating anymore do nothing to hide and nothing to be anxious about.
The fact that you worked it out shows it that he trusts you and loves you.
Looking and your partners phone is not crime unless his stealing your work place data.
If you believe that your partners for life I guess a peek at a personal phone wouldn't do any harm.
He might have wanted it for different reasons but then some message pops up and eventually truth is out.
If not there is nothing to be afraid ofWell she is the judge off her own fate, and she knows consequences to her action she might have learnt her lesson, but I thjnk she's not cheating but it's the guilt that haunts her..

You're not worried about him looking at your phone. You feel guilty because leaving him alone with your phone reminds you of how you cheated on him, and how it all fell apart. You gotta let it go at this point, coz if he was gonna leave you, he would've left by now. So just thank your lucky stars you got a second chance for a do-over and leave past in the past

- Why would I be in trouble? It's been lying in the same spot for weeks, turned off, SIM out. Anyone can have a look if they want. But you won't be able to do a whole lot with it. Perhaps use it as paperweight? I have no time to waste my life staring at a tiny screen like I see many people live their lives all day every day. Reading about what their "friends" had from breakfast, funny cat videos and fake news. Why don't they just take a hike? No, I mean literally. Lift up your bum from the sofa get a coat on, and take a hike.1|01|0Is this still revelant?
- No.
They can make a call sure, but I have people spilling their guts out to me on my messages. What my friends & family tell me in confidence is for me to never share.
I would hope they would show their loved ones the same respect cus discretion is polite with sensitive matters, ya know?0|00|0Is this still revelant?

3050- Heck no. Actually he can even have it; I'm not dependent on my phone like most people, haha.
Seriously, the worse thing he's going to find on my phone is a bunch of memes, comics, and pictures of cute dogs or animals. If he reads my text messages, most are me and my friends trolling each other, or they're work related.
Of course, if he gets my phone, I expect him to let me look at his phone too- otherwise, I'm going to assume he's just insecure or jealous.1|10|0 - No, because I remind her to think about her damn business and leave me alone.1|23|0
- Anonymous1 moNah if I'm with them I have nothing to hide. The only time a guy has asked to see my phone was when we were casually dating (his idea) while I was at uni an dfocussed on my career (which I sthe only reason I agreed to it). Basically I had guy friends and he started getting really possessive and nosy as if he had some sort of say over it when it was him who asked for something casual. Wtf is wrong with some people. Communicate and grow up or leave me alone. I ended it with him swiftly after that.0|00|0
- No. I have nothing to hide, and hand it over, LOCKED.
I don't ask for hers, and will NEVER, because if I am in a relationship with a lady, I expect that there is TRUST, so I don't need to look at her phone!
Consider, when you ask for that, the message you are sending, is "I DON'T TRUST YOU, SO I HAVE TO CHECK!"
Your 'relationship' is DOOMED, from even before the moment you ask, not having TRUST!
Why would you be with someone you do not TRUST, COMPLETELY?0|10|0 - Lol I registered my boyfriend's fingerprint in my phone. He uses it when he has to google something and mine is closer, or when his is charging. I don't see the big deal honestly0|00|0
- Yes, I don't want her to see my anime goth girl collection.
Jk
Other than dark humour and some gore or nsfw things which my friends might have sent me on discord, my phone has nothing concerning. So it won't be much Problem.0|00|0 - No, because I'm an adult and my partner isn't my keeper, and while I'd be happy to let them use my phone, I have the right to say no as well.0|00|0
- I'd have to go buy one first, because I don't have one. She can look at my computer though. Nothing there to hide.0|00|0
- I'd ask why while handing it to them.
I have nothing to hide, but I have friends who confide in me and tell me their personal business.0|00|0 - No I wouldn't be, because I wouldn't hide anything from my partner...0|00|0
- He's going to see a bunch of pictures of the guy I want to marry.0|00|0
- No but she is. You're free to view my phone. Take your time
Just know we're breaking up after that. I don't stay with people who don't trust me0|00|0 - Usually when I have a boyfriend, I always give him my password or if he wanna peek over... I honestly don’t really mind🤷🏻♀️ There’s nothing to hide lol.1|10|1
- Yeah of course. I have nothing to hide but I probably would break up lol. If he doesn't trust me, and looks at my messages etc. Because I also would respect him and won't grab his phone. Trusting is everything in a relationship.1|00|1
- At that stage she will likely already have had a look.
She saw a lot of boring stuff by then.0|00|0 - No but if she wants it unlocked, she has trust issues so you better cut her lose. Because you can't build a relationship without trust. I do not need to defend myself against her distrust.0|10|0
- If I'm busy doing something else and here my phone buzz or ring, I'll ask my friends with benefits to check it for me, or answer the call and take a message.0|00|0
- Nah. If I had to hide such petty things I wouldn't get engaged with her in the first place or we wouldn't be so close that I consider her my girlfriend ^^1|00|0
- I don't have one.
But, if I did, I wouldn't be in trouble.0|00|0 - Oh, fuck! Where is the goddamn thing? Call it with your phone! Nevermind, I think I set it to silent.0|00|0
- If you are gonna be in trouble, maybe you should stop doing whatever it is that would be troublesome.1|00|0
- If she asks you ask
If she assumes you assume
If kicks up a fuss - bye
Nothing comes from nothing0|00|0 - I would say you can look but I've not had a cleanup since I was single so anything you don't like is left over from then... or porn1|00|0
- No, but the relationship is. I won't stay with someone who doesn't trust me. Nor is my partner entitled to know my every thought.0|10|0
- i was looking for an app that let's you show them only what you want to see, like 1 or 2 pics without being able to see the rest0|10|0

- I don't I don't have a passcode on my phone I don't have anything on my phone that my girl couldn't see, I don't do shit that could jeopardize my relationship the shit's not worth it people are only sorry when they get caught1|00|0

"take it and look if you distrust me"
If I had a side chick, I wasn't stupid enough to leave any evidences on my phone.0|00|0 - she can see my phone but really not wanting anyone else to look it over0|00|0
- I don’t have a boyfriend but I’m not a cheater or anything so no, he can look through whatever he wants1|00|0
- Unless he's got a free upgrade phone for me, or isn't offended by being told to fuck off, then it wouldn't be a smart move.0|01|0
- It's locked and encrypted. Look at it all you want.
most people won't look at it for more than a minute or two.1|10|0 - I wouldn't mind her seeing and using my phone. I would only have a problem if she tries to be sneaky about it to as to search my stuff because it will show she doesn't trust me.1|00|0
- I would have to tell my wife no.. Its company property, i could lose my job and go to jail if i gave her access to it.1|00|0
- I have nothing to hide, ever. Unless it's a surprise birthday party1|00|0
- sure xD i'm an adult. i can do what i want. and my parents aren't gonna spy on my shit, when i hand them my phone anyway. i trust them.0|02|0
- She can have it. What's mine belongs to Her too.
Besides, She has every right to know what I'm up to.1|00|0 - I'd really want to know why.
There's no need to go through my phone. I don't have anything to hide, but my business is my business. I don't want his either.0|20|0 - Because I chat text and have long term woman friends. I gotta lot explaining to do... but I've shown her trust respect and honor... will she need to ask?0|01|0
- My ex demanded that I keep mine unlocked so she could go through it whenever she wanted.
I believe that she was. looking for something. Possibly to use as an excuse for cheating as she did.1|00|0 - If your partner asks to check your phone (not just use it briefly), then by definition they don't trust you and you might as well dump them.0|01|0
- Anonymous1 moI say “fuck you” no one touches my phone but me.
Regardless of what they want to claim is on it... a person who demands to invade your privacy is abusive and controlling. I would leave her in a second.0|01|0 - Yes she can see it. I delete incriminating stuff quickly0|02|0
- There is some naughty bits on there but they are all hers.1|00|0

- And I would ask "for what?"0|00|0
- Apart from the hidden porn nope 😂😜0|00|0
- No, I have nothing to hide.0|00|0
@Skankhunt The point, is NOT that you have anything to HIDE, but HER LACK OF TRUST, and NEEDING TO CHECK!!
Not a healthy relationship, if there is no trust!
