    I'm exactly the same as Lemontart ... only when I had suspicions and it confirmed them and when I asked him about them he admitted it and walked out and left us :sad:

    Neither me or MrJudi check eachothers mobi but we both know that we have every right to so if we think theres something going on. I would if i thought i had good reason and wouldnt think twice about it. I would expect MrJudi to do the same.

    In our situation, MrJudi has been working away for the last 10 years only coming back home weekends and it would be very easy for him to have another life without me. It wouldnt be so easy for me obviously stuck at home with the kids but not impossible.

    Unless you have some very firm suspicions then it's bang out of order to go through someones private stuff regardless of whether you're married. Even then I think you'd be better off confronting them first about your feelings.

    I have recently split with my partner (3 weeks) but we are still living in the same house until he buys me out (it's fairly amicable but it was his decision) He leaves his phone around and i looked the other day, confirmed my suspicions he had been on a date the other day! He could at least have waited until i moved out! In the past i have discovered an unfaithful boyfriend by reading his emails
    we have love enough to light the streets.

    I don't purposely read hubby's phone, however, if someone has sent a message and he has told me about it, he has no problem in me taking his phone to look at it. The day he tells me I can't look at his phone is the day he is out on his @ss! :D

    Nothing should be private if you're married/committed. Surely that's the point? What's mine's yours, what's yours, is mine?

    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.

    I agree completely.

    Never ever have I read my wifes text messages (unless asked too). Sometimes I can't be bothered to read my own so not going to start reading anybody elses.

    I get enought SPAM and don't need anymore.
