Your Cell Phone Has 18x More Bacteria On It Than A Toilet Handle :eek:

Which is probably only slightly less than is on your keyboard yet people thinking nothing of eating and typing at the same time.


May as well just stick your head in the toilet really, probably more hygienic!:rotfl:

My OH has his own smartphone plus a BlackBerry and a pager for work. They go off all the time so he keeps them with him in his trouser pockets and the pager clipped to his belt.

I have a BlackBerry and leave it on a table next to me when sitting down but otherwise it's stuffed in a pocket.

I see nothing wrong with anyone keeping their phone convos and texts private. Neither of us would dream of interrogating the other about calls or texts or snooping.

You want to do that so you ask here in the hope that someone will say of course it's OK to snoop in your partner's phone. It isn't.

No I asked here to find out if it is the norm to be that attched to your phone, as I said he was like this with it when we met and I had no probs with it whatsoever !! I always did think it was a bit too much but found it funny in a way that he even took it in the loo with him.

Its only after I found out that he had betrayed my trust and lied to me that I started to have an issue with it, but before I came to a proper decision as to how I am to move forward with this I wanted just to know how many of you are that !!!! attached to your phones.

I am not in any way and he has full access to everything of mine and I dont personally know another person who is that attached to their phone so wanted to get a general consensus of norm this was !!

Airplane mode just means the phone can not receive or send texts while in that mode. If you wanted to look at his phone you still can while it is in that mode.

I would be taking a look considering his past history and all your trust issues come from his actions.

I always have my phone as does hubby, in it's self I son't think it shouts affair but when you look at the bigger picture it doesn't bode well really.

Clearly both case scenario (1- he is up to dodgy business, 2- he is just in love with his phone and very attached to it) could be an option, but how you live with your suspicions without acting on it, I can't imagine. Besides the phone how is his behaviour? Would he have opportunities to meet with someone regularly without you knowing?

If I were in your shoes, having some doubts deep inside, however much I would want to trust my partner, I would most definitely design some plan to check this mobile. If it meant staying awake for 3 hours to get up when I know he is fast asleep, I would do it!! I would much prefer to either finding our my partner is having an affair and whatever else and confront the situation head on, or have the proof that I have nothing to worry about, move on and care less what he is up to with his phone. This in between situation would be unbearable for me.

I have my phone glued to my side everywhere I go, including the bathroom. There is nothing dodgy about it, its a habit I always have and will continue to have,as well as a guarantee that should any important phone calls or messages arrive, I am at hand to see them straight away.

OH does not worry about it, there is the rare occasion she may ask who the txt or call is from, I may or may not go into detail about it as it is generally just the odd banter, one liner or insignificant. Should she push for it I might be forced to say it really is nobody else's business but my own, but its never come to that.

I have nothing to hide and she is more than welcome to check my phone or contacts should she demand to, but apart from finding nothing to concern herself with, she would find me queering why she does not trust me with my own phone, whilst I can trust her enough to never need to delve into her own phone habits.

Its funny what you learn about others on this forum! I've never known anybody to take their phone to the loo with them! What if your a guy and having a wee, surely you can't pee and use your phone at the same time! My phone is always close by but I do leave it if for example I nip in the kitchen to make a brew, so does my husband, we just leave them on the arm on the sofa! I would find it strange if he started to carry his phone everywhere with him, but I know he's not that important that he needs to be contacable every second of every day!

Just out of interest what do people do with their phones when having sex?! Keeping checking it over their partners shoulder?!! :rotfl:

Sounds like your partner's managed to convince you that YOU have trust issues, cheeky git! I'd be looking at that phone first chance l got, l think it's dodgy behaviour sorry. X

You may be surprised to learn most guys can wee one handed (sometimes no hands :rotfl:).

Mostly (at least for me) the time spent sat on the loo would be playing Angry Birds instead of reading a paper.

As for sex - it might be a little off putting texting messages during foreplay, likewise I am not sure it would be a good idea to literally sleep with your phone, that's what the bedside table is for.

The only time I am ever likely to leave my phone unattended, would be to charge it up, my charger is downstairs by the netbook, OH has her charger upstairs.

Not read all the replies yet but my DP takes his phone everywhere with him. Its nothing new for him, he's always done it. He will leave it charging in the room though and if he's driving will pass me his phone without hesitation but I would NEVER look through his phone.

It used to bother me as I leave mine lying around everywhere, if he picks it up and looks he picks it up and looks, the only thing I would hate would be him checking my messages. I have absolutely nothing to hide and if he asked thats fine but its my privacy. Most of the time my phone is bleeping and each person has a different tone and he's gotten used to the tones and knows who's messaging me.

You do sound like you have trust issues but everyone is different. Would you like it if he started getting annoyed that you dont let him read your diary and never leave it lying around?
