No.

If a txt comes in and I am closer to the phone he will ask me to check it for him or something like that but I do not scroll through his messages and stuff.

If he hid the phone from me or made it like he did not want me to look at it I might be inclined to though.



Ditto.

Re: need to ask.. do you check your spouses cell phone?

There is absolutely nothing to hide in our marriage so i never even really thought about it. I've read texts to him when they come through (after he asked me to) and I never think about it.

He also has me check his email once in a while for info he needs, I just never think about that stuff!

DH and I trust each other. I'm not hiding anything and neither is he. Usually only check it if it's going off and he's in another room. I just yell out there's a text from So and So and he asks what it says so then I read it.

He does the same for me

I have never checked my DH cell phone. I have no reason to. I have my own phone to look at.

I don't think he would care because he has nothing to hide, just like I wouldn't care if he looked at my phone... we just don't do that.



Exactly this.

no snooping... if one of us is in the shower or something and the other phone rings we will get it, but we don't read texts or anything. He goes on my phone for internet alot... and will tell me " you have a text" or something, but doesnt read it.

No. We have an agreement...no snooping through phones or reading e-mails or it's grounds for divorce. THAT would be a breach of trust for us...to snoop. I have no desire to check his phone...just cause we're married doesn't mean we need to share ever single thing...but that's what works for us.



this.



Same here.



See, now this I think is an issue on par with feeling like you need to check. Why is there a need for such a clause?

Like I said, I don't check, I have no interest and no need. But if we told each other that we couldn't check, then I would wonder what that was about.

Re: need to ask.. do you check your spouses cell phone?

Nope, no interest! He does answer my phone occasionally or check my emails and BBMs (new ones that have just "bing-ed", not randomly reading all my e-mails or anything like that). He knows it bothers me but I have no secrets so I'm not sure why it would! Chat Icon Chat Icon

Re: need to ask.. do you check your spouses cell phone?

Almost never. although the other day his phone was on and opened to the main text message screen and I saw that everyone he was writing to was a number and not a name... then I realized that 90% of the text messages were my text messages w/ people because he's using my old phone and didn't replace the sim card. It was really strange.

This. I'm not nosy, and I completely trust him, but whoever it closest to the ringing phone picks it up and answers or texts back.

Re: need to ask.. do you check your spouses cell phone?

Yes I do. He has a cool phone so I like to mess with it. When I am bored I will read his emails or text. We have the same friends and most of the time he's already told me the short version of the text or email and I am just reading it to read it. He also gets emails about our DS baseball and boys scouts on his phone. Stuff that he reads and instantly forgets so I have to go and read it to make sure we do miss anything important.
I don't do it to spy on him or expect to catch him doing anything.

He usually tells me to answer it or delete his messages while he is driving b/c that's when he remembers to do it.

I have never snooped, though.

Nope, not unless he asks me to. I have no reason to and no real interest in it, and I feel like we should each have some expectation to privacy. That being said, if he's in another room and the phone rings/he gets a text, I'll check to see who's calling and shout it out to him. If he's driving, I'll text for him if he needs me to, and the other way around. But neither of us go out of our way to look at the other's phone. It just seems odd to me.

Like I said, I don't check, I have no interest and no need. But if we told each other that we couldn't check, then I would wonder what that was about.



we just have an agreement to respect each other's privacy when it comes to phones & emails.....and we agree we'd be really upset if that agreement was broken or trust was broken by snooping. Like I said, it works for us. Other people are different. My friends tell me things in confidence as do his. It's really a respect for their privacy as well. I know I wouldn't want my friend's DHs reading some of the stuff I text them.

I have a friend who's DH read thru all her e-mails...that infuriated me more than her that he snooped and read what I wrote to her.Chat Icon
