My OH on the other hand has, in the past, been very naughty with his phone, texting people behind my back, being so secretive, deleting messages etc. We almost broke up over it to be honest but we're okay now and he's not secretive at all.
I :heart2: my doggies
I have a phone its more for emergencies and the odd text i dont use it much. I use mainly the house phone and email.
When I'm having my fun and games, I generally use my work phone...which is switched off at night and has a full password protection to turn it on.
So no, I'm not possessive.
Although, I am a terrible lier and when I do have something to hide in my text messages (E.g Texts from friends regarding presents I'm purchasing for my OH) he always seems to know and it's at that moment when he wants to look at my messages! Then I get all defensive because I don't want to ruin the surprise. (but by that time he already knows im planning something!)
I think I set off some sort of radar lol
Ooh, yes, I would never go in a handbag!!
In fact I hate looking through someone's bag with their permission and will usually pass them the bag if they ask me to grab something from it as I'm closer.
I feel the same about pockets; I will empty them if putting clothes in the wash, but the stuff is just placed on the side as it is - I would never rifle through it.
It's quite sad how suspicious people are tbh.
When did people stop trusting their loved ones, or has it always been that way? It's not hard to see why the divorce rate is so high when there is all this mistrust in relationships.
My phone, I'm not at all possessive, and my email is strictly off limits only in the couple of months before Christmas and his birthday.
He's similarly open with his stuff, although he has this absolute terror of going into my bag even when I ask him to pass me something out of it.
I'd be furious if I knew he was looking through my phone/email without me knowing because snooping is something completely different from looking for something or checking to see who's calling and would signify that he doesn't trust me - and since I'm not doing anything untoward that would really hurt me. But everyday reasons for checking my phone/email - not a problem at all.
my ex oh used to be glued to his phone, there again when i did get sneek peek at it he had naked pic's on there so im not suprised it was with him 24 7....
