Would you let your significant other go through your phone if they asked you?

Question

Lliam · Accepted Answer

I would consider it a red flag if they wanted to. If they did, I'd probably refuse as matter of principle because, if they don't trust me they never will, and our relationship is already doomed.

I would let them use my phone if they needed to. But if they started searching through it, I would consider that an invasion of privacy. It would be like someone searching through my mail, personal effects or diary without permission. It's dishonest and I would never trust them again.

My wife and I have access to each other's phones but neither of us have any interest.
I have access to her iPad but I don't know her laptop pass code. I don't care.
Nobody has the pass code to my laptop. But it's the last thing in the world my wife would be interested in.

Don't care. There is nothing on my phone my partner wouldn't already know about.

Personally, if your worried or upset by a spouse looking, you know damn well there is something your involved in your actively trying to hide.

This is no different than cheating spouses when land lines were the mode of communication and the spouse would slink off and hide somewhere to not be heard.

I'd be concerned if they felt the need to "go through it". Because that gives the vibe that they are suspicious of me and not trusting me. So of course I'd let them see my phone. But we'd need to have a conversation about why they felt the need to.

IslaTheWitch · Accepted Answer

sure... it happened plenty of times, especially if my husband's battery died, so he used my phone

I use my phone for everything. Communication with friends, work or leisure... there is nothing I would like to hide from him :D

Oh, the classic dilemma of phone privacy! In the spirit of honesty and transparency, I'd say yes, but with a twist. Trust is the bedrock of any relationship, so if my partner feels the need to peek into my phone, I'd take a step back and think, "Hmm, are we having a trust issue here?" It's less about handing over the phone and more about opening up a conversation. "Why do you feel the need to?" I'd ask, with a cheeky wink. After all, keeping the communication lines open and spicy is key! But remember, it's a two-way street. My phone might be an open book, but let's not turn it into a regular library visit, shall we? 😉

Then what? Check your wallet? where does it stop?

NathanDavis · Answer

yes... and they have used, for long enough time and me being away

they didn't ask me for it to go through it though... they needed to use it for something else but if they had wanted to do that, they could have done it

no idea if they did, or did not lol

JacobJordan · Answer

Depends on the phone. My personal phone my wife can access whenever as it isn't password protected. My work phone (retired from working in person but i own 2 laboratories and manage them) not a chance she would be in jail forever as would I if she went through it. Lot of very not safe for public eyes work on their. Work phone doesn't even touch wifi. It is purely offline until it gets encrypted.

bolverk · Answer

With my phone it would not matter as there is nothing on my phone that an SO would have any problems with and it is never locked, unlike women men rarely carry their whole life on their phone, the only time I've ever locked a phone was when it was issued by my employer and the it was only used for work.

TommyMountainFigure · Answer

She doesn't have to ask. My phone is always laying around the house. I don't have a lock on it. In fact? Most of my friends are her friends too

Chazmatazz269 · Answer

Nope. It doesn’t matter if you have something to hide or not. If they feel compelled to snoop, you have major trust issues in the relationship. That spells doom, guaranteed.

LazerBean · Answer

We don't even need to ask, both of us have each other's fingerprints and passwords and can borrow each other phones as we please. Of course we do not inconvenience each other

PeachyPie93 · Answer

Sure, my phone isn't all that precious to me that I would care if people go through it or not.

Nikki1989 · Answer

We share each other's phones. Anyone that has a problem with it are obviously not to be trusted. RED FLAG!

MrOracle · Answer

None of the women I've dated have ever asked, but sure. They would be bored pretty quickly, given that I don't even use social media.

82lynx · Answer

Any fictional SO can scrutinize my phone all she wants; it’s rotary dial. I say fictional because the idea of actually having one makes me sick.

BonzoInBitburg · Answer

She doesn't have to ask. She knows my password because I told her early into our relationship. I've got nothing to hide.

worldscolide · Answer

No, but my phone belongs to my employer. It would cost me my job, and result in felony charges for her if she went through it with or without my permission.

MemeSupreme · Answer

ehhhhhhhhh im good lol i got private shit on there

Theworldislost · Answer

I don't cheat or have questionable relationships with friends. I would ask to see their phone and socials, fair is fair.

dustybiker2 · Answer

If they trusted you they wouldn't ask. If you trust them you would let them.

itsclearlynicholas · Answer

Sure, I'm an open book, as long as she's not doing anything untoward under my phone cause it's my name on it lol 🤣😆

genericname85 · Answer

Xia1994 · Answer

You see sometimes I forget just how hard relationships are 😂😭…

LiamJHayden · Answer

If one asked I would. Then after she did I would dump her. I do not want to be with someone who doesn't trust me.
