I don't text all that much. I also don't have internet at home except on my phone, usually I'm on the internet or Facebook. I don't get to go on at all during the day because I'm at work and when I get home from work he's home. So if I never used my phone when we were together I'd hardly ever get to use it. I have a smartphone for a reason, to use it.

Why not just tell him that you have no problem telling him who you are texting - so if he wants to know, you'd really rather he just ask you instead of grabbing your phone away from you because you think it's rude to do that.

I don't have an issue with it either.
There have been plenty of times that he's used my phone but we also both have the same exact phone and there is no need to use each other's phone except for trying to locate one of them.

I just don't like things being snatched from my hands and then forced to wait for it back like I'm 12 again. I have a huge issue when people treat me like a child.

So get off of the internet and your phone already and tell HIM to quit treating you like a child.
Telling us is not going to change anything.
Also, you said in one post that you go home and relax for an hour with your phone but in a couple others you said you go home, change, make food then spend time with him so which is it?
Do you play on the phone for an hour before you change and make food or the other way around?
Those little details can make a big difference in how one answers you or tries to give guidance.

I get home, change, grab a drink, ask him if he's even hungry yet, if he is I make food, if not, I don't and I usually sit down and relax. Once we're both hungry I'll make food. Sometimes I'm too tired to even change first. Every night food, relaxing, etc happens at some point but I usually try to relax once I get in the door and get comfy. I don't wanna drag work home with me but some days I'm stressed and I need to do some things to take care of myself, like getting comfy and to focus on something other than the hundred of people I had to deal with in one day.

Your problem isn't your phones, it's your relationship and how you two relate to one another. Make it clear if he keeps it up that it isn't going to be tolerated. Also make it clear that you are not acting this way because you have things to hide away from him (if you do, well that is another issue)

Put a password on your phone....and be done with it

If you are on your phone for hours everyday the guys is probably getting jealous of how much time you give it over him...something given that much importance naturally raises suspicions

I don't hide anything.
I just don't think he needs to read everything.
He isn't not allowed to touch it.
My mom on the other hand I wouldn't let her touch my phone at all.

I have nothing to hide but anyone would be pissed off if they had their phone snatched away and their text being read like the person doing that had the right to do so.

When my own mother did that crap I flipped. At least I don't flip on him and I just confront him about it and tell him how rude it is.

I'm going to take the opposite view here. It seems like the vast majority of you here seem to want to keep your phones private, locking it with a password and how dare your S/O feel the need to look at your phone or ask you about something on it. It sounds to me like a lot of you are doing things or talking to people you probably shouldn't.


My S/O and I do exactly the opposite. We both deal with ex's over children issues and such, and we are both completely honest and open about everything we do and everyone we talk with. We don't password protect our phones at all, and we look at each others phones all the time. I like to leave mine on the kitchen table for her in the morning when I take a shower in case she wants to flip through it, and she does similar things for me, but mostly we just ask each other and hand them over. This all started because when we were first dating, I was going through a divorce and she would get anxious when I would get texts from my ex wife. I had a password at the time, so I handed her the phone and put her fingerprint in my iPhone ID so she could access it whenever she wanted, and her anxiety level instantly went away.


So now we are both totally open about it, sometimes we ask each other questions about calls, texts or whatever, and neither of us has an issue with any of it. It's just a very nice feeling to know that we're close enough and love each other enough to do this, and it's very liberating to have a potentially tense issue completely removed from the relationship.


If all those of you who are demanding "privacy and respect" can't simply be open and honest with your S/O about what's on your phone, then you either have the wrong S/O, or you're doing something that you know you shouldn't.
