Your partner read your journal/diary and got their feelings hurt by one of the entries. What do you do?

Hurt feelings or not, they read my private thoughts without my consent. I’m dumping them

Try to console them so we can at least meet in the middle and talk about it

Apologize for what I wrote and try to show them more positive entries instead

I'd try to communicate the issue with them, and see if we can work it out. But part of that is also that he read my journal without my permission.

You know, I think we should trust our partners enough. But no one and no relationship is 100% perfect, so I think people shouldn't go looking for what they don't want to find. That doesn't mean that the person is cheating or lying about something important, but if you go looking for something that will make you uncomfortable you'll definitely find it.

I'd feel betrayed because either they didn't trust me or they were just being nosy. It's no different than them taking your phone without you knowing and going through it or questioning you for details after you get through a therapy session.

I have nothing to hide and if they just asked, I'd most likely tell them, but to betray my trust and privacy like that, while not grounds for me to leave them, would hurt me and cause me to be less trusting of them.

I read my partner's journal once to get more insight into their feelings about me, and see how I might improve. Reading someone's journal and then calling them out about the contents is completely out of bounds. I might dump someone who did this.

ngl, as soon as someone intentionally crosses a boundary then i really struggle feeling sympathy for them

like the fuck did you expect... its a diary lol

[NordicInScandinavia]

I'd end the relationship. What a invasion of privacy and break of trust that would be. 😳

[jazzy34]

I’d definitely get upset. That would be a violation of my privacy.

Communication is the key

Try to make her feel better

Depends on what it was
