Does she have a phone? Do you listen in on her conversations?

__ Yes or __ No

[there you go]

This is what I just caught my SO doing on FB. It wasn't sexual or cheating related, just talking trash about me to her girlfriends after we had an argument. When confronted she says "well ya know us girls have to vent and man bash once in awhile". So now I have her password to check up on her, you got to keep an eye on them.

If you think she needs to be watched, then why are you two together? If you don't have your own zone of privacy which she has to respect, then there is cause for both her and your concern.

I feel about facebook, twitter, and email, the same way I think about cell phones. I think there's a level of privacy that needs to be there and be respected. Just because someone is keeping something of their life private from you, doesn't mean that they are being a shady person.

I've always felt if someone is messing around on me, I'll find out sooner or later. When you start wanting to go through peoples phones and social media, you are ultimately looking for something to be deceitful. I absolutely see no positive gain from it and you are causing more stress on yourself. I think we all know when something funny is going on in our relationship, and we don't have to go through phones and social media to find that out. Give your partner their privacy if it's within reason.

Ugh. I hope she doesn't put up with your behavior.

I have fb and I don't allow anyone I date on it. If my SO wants to "check up on me," he can kiss my ass.

She's venting about you, obviously.

Twitter is for people with too much time. Get out while u can, she doesn't sound trustworthy.

If the roles were reversed, she'd be accusing you of playing around on her because of that. Nuff said.

If this was me I would only be keeping my bf off if I had something to hide. If there's nothing to hide then you should be allowed to follow her. My ex kept me off his fb and continued to tell me if wasn't for any specific reasons.......yeah well that was lies and when I did see it i could have kicked his ass.

I would do was sgt says start your own and don't allow her to follow, if it was me I would not like this at all and allow you to follow me.
