Search Results: boyfriend is avoiding me

boyfriend and I been together 4 years. No infidelity from what I’ve known. Always had access to his phone to enlist trust but now it’s a habit to go through his phone when I see him which in return pisses him off. His old phone broke, so he is using his old work phone which is an iPhone, got a privacy screen protector (which he had on his past iPhone a while back) and a new passcode. This was unsettling for me so I went ahead and got the new passcode for his phone and looked through it. He’s keeping it simple with not too many apps as I believe he plans to go back to his old phone eventually. I always peer closer to look at his phone when he’s on it so I can avoid the privacy screen protector, although I get the sense he doesn’t like that all the time. He said it annoys him when I question him a lot. For example, he told me his coworkers went to a seafood buffet after work, I asked where and how much the food was and he couldn’t recall and I questioned more which he was not fond of. Am I being too much or my feelings valid?

I am unsure of this myself.

I guess it really depends on the matter like if it's a relationship thing, for example:
A woman wents out with her friendly male coworker to have lunch together, she later on gets asked about her day by her boyfriend, she says what food she had for lunch but DOES NOT mention going with her male coworker to avoid a possible fiasco.

• Is it lying in this case? It is withholding an information after all.
• If she'd tell she went with a FEMALE friend to avoid problems, then that IS lying.

Neither is good though, I try to be honest as much as I can with my partner (when I have one).
Men aren't always willing to listen though, and they start making assumptions even when you are honest like when you tell them about the lunch with a coworker. Maybe it's an insecurity thing? It's def. common!
