Setting a trap for a snoop, smart women.

Why are you afraid of a snoop?

I'm not afraid of snoops, I just don't like them. So, you suggest you're a snoop and rather proud of it, I suspect. I have no secrets, I'm always truthful with my wife and those I do business with. I've tried to teach my children you can always remember the truth, but sometimes can't remember the details in a lie. I've had to say in court things I didn't want to say, but later on when I came before the judge, he knew was always telling the truth, not matter what. My wife doesn't snoop in any of my stuff, computer, phones, letter files, etc. If she did, she would be gone. There is only two things I would divorce my wife for, one is snooping, the other is allowing her children to interfer with our relationship/marriage. I hate snopes, I count them as the lowest of scum. So, now, pitt you know just exactly how I feel about you. Why do you think so little of yourself? This is not a personal attack on you, I'm not calling you a snoop, I'm just trying to tell you how some people might feel about snoops.

Its an obsessive disorder of sorts, a never ending search for something to come up with nothing, but that doesn't satisfy there qwests to find the "truth", its as if they're unable to stop. Nothing gains their trust and in their minds can completely rationalize why they continue. Anyone who needs to constantly investigate, has no clue what it feels like to be on the receiving end. I get an uneasy feeling about these ppl, I lived with one, and escalated to more invasive "snooping".

Anyone who does this on a continual basis, needs to either get out of their relationship or seek some counseling, maybe both.

What the Captain said. If you feel the need to snoop on your partner or friend, then you have trust issues and the relationship is doomed. There is no excuse for snooping. Be up front if you have a legitimate concern, and ask your partner what is going on. If you don't feel you can trust him or her, then why are you still with that person?

Sounds like my soon to be ex. Sorry she had the trust issues. She was the one who continued, who was so selfish, and the chronic cheater. And she had the audacity to snoop on me?

If there is a reason for distrust fine, I get that and by all means. But a witch hunt, or idle curiosity is plain disrespectful.

I never did snoop and strongly resent snoopers. My Mom use to have a saying "it'll ALL come out in the wash one day"... meaning if you are hiding something, it WILL come out someday.

Snoopers have a hard time grasping this, I've posted this before and a firm believer you find out more by accident, then purposely searching.

4. You want to be in control of the relationship and have an "advantage" by knowing more about me than I do about you.

5. You have too much time on your hands and need to get a hobby--or a life.
Bravo. I'll add 6. You probably have a guilty conscience and something to hide yourself.

No one is entitled to know anything about me that I am not willing to share. And people who do this typically come with a lot of baggage and drama. I'll pass.

Not afraid...
