No, that's creepy control-freak shyte! I don't go in his wallet, or cellphone, or computer, or email because I'm not insecure and I'm not a psycho control freak.

Never did, and never will. I respect and trust him. And I would hate it if he monitored mine!

Never done it, never felt the need to.

I don't monitor his cell phone, e-mail, or facebook. Heck we aren't even facebook friends! It is his personal business. We have been together almost 20 years (married 18 years this past June) and I trust him. We could check out each others personal stuff since we know each others passwords (easy since they are the same for every account) but no reason.

I had a ex whose cell phone I checked non-stop, and all it did was make matters worse. I would see things in there I hated and I couldnt say anything about it becuase I should not have been looking in there to begin with. But now he is a ex and I have matured and I have not done that since him. That searching and going through things is just not cool. Glad I realized that, but that was only through trial and error

What if she just means that if her cell phone rings, he picks it up and sees if it's anything important.

He may not be controlling or snooping, just covering for her.

i've never done it, but my g/f's ex apparently used to check her phone all the time.
he also used to follow her, turn up random places where she'd be, stuff like that.

she said she was afraid to even talk to men, never mind give them her number.
apparently one time a man from work phoned her about something innocent and her ex hit the roof, accusing her of all sorts !
huge argument, violence, the works !

no wonder she's got issues now, poor thing !

the irony was that he was apparently seeing other women !

my ex wife was much the same, but i didn't have a phone then, so she couldn't check.
she did hit the roof once because when she phoned my work, a woman answered.
the fact that the female receptionist worked in a call centre a mile away was irrelevant !!

strangely, she was also having an affair.

i think we judge people by our own standards. if we think we'd do it, we also assume our partner would.

Absolutely not. How self conscious and jealous must a person be to "monitor" their s.o.'s activities (cell phone, facebook, e-mail, texts, etc.). It doesnt matter if the person is okay with being "monitored" or that the person doing the monitoring wants to just make sure things are okay because their S.O. cheated in the past. If monitoring needs to be done, just end the relationship as its obvious that trust issues are abound.

I dont like it when my wife's cell phone rings or if she hears that she received a text message and she tells me to answer it or see who the text is from. I just feel that its her own "personal/private" time that I have no business intruding on.
