My partner has become very secretive when he is on the laptop at night and takes his mobile phone everywhere with him. I do check his phone when i can sneakily in the morning. He spends a lot of time on MSN. Should i be worried?

I would NEVER read my fiances texts, how rude would that be!!
I wouldn't expect him to read mine either - not that mine are very interesting and he has absolutely nothing to worry about.

I saw this this morning.. and I was amazed!

I'd never dream of snooping in his phone or on the pc. I do know he's looked at mine tho but it's fine cos I've got nothing to hide.

I read my Husbands text messages and he reads mine, don't have any problems with it as neither of us have anything to hide. For instance if I am in the shower and get a text message, he will read it, then come and tell me who it was from / what it says and vice versa.

i don't see any reason to check my husband's phone. i would answer it for him if he was in the bath or driving etc. but not to actually check up on him.

do the people admitting to checking phones have reason to be suspicious? or do they just check as a matter of course?

I would never read my DH's texts unless he invited me too and I am sure he would not read mine, not that I have anything to hide but innocent messages can be misinterpreted. I would not spend my life with anyone who felt the need to check up on me if there is no trust there is no point in having a relationship.

Me and my boyfriend read each others texts, but that because were nosey :rotfl:

I dont think its rude reading them...why would it be!? If youre in a relationship you know everything about each other. Its no exactly invading their privacy, youre a couple and share everything.

barber1982 - Yes, be worried.Been there, done that and bought the T shirt -TWICE!!!!

I have no objection to my other half reading my text's, emails etc as I have nothing to hide. But I know plenty who have used mobile phones to conduct affairs. All (and I mean ALL)of which have been found out because of said mobile phone. My best mates ex accidently sent her a text to her mobile instead of his lover!! -thats when she decided to check his mobile for other texts.
