haha I walked past my bf and saw an interesting text. I thought it was about me and made a comment. He's so sweet he was all no here, look, it's about my friend's gf, and then showed me the whole text.

IMO...you shouldn't have to ask & it's not a thing if it just flows organically. If it's a text my fiance has to answer for work.......& we are out or watching a movie........he will offer it up in our conversation naturally & apologize to me that we got interrupted. I will do the same for him.........it's my friend "so & so" ....I'll tell her I will call her tomorrow....as I'm texting her back. We don't ask & it just comes up naturally when we get interrupted by a text in the middle of doing something together ......
My GF and I have different communication styles when it comes to social media/texting, etc.
It's perfectly normal for us to wake up some mornings and grab our phones off the nightstands. She does the Insta/Facebook thing (I don't have those). I'll check emails and a few group texts. We laugh about some of the stuff, rolleyes at the rest. 15 minutes later, we either get out of bed or we don't...
Dinner/Cuddle times are absolute no go's with the phones, they go on the kitchen station with the kid's phone and stay there until bed time.
Basically zero cognizance of the socials. I’m basically not even involved with social media; she uses it just to be around family. It’s a non-issue. Though technically we are millennials, being born in the mid-80s, we also know how it was pre-internet. Phones, socials, and the internet as a whole are luxuries and tools, not a fact of life.
I'm a real private person. I could be looking up garden tools on my phone and still wouldn't want to show it to anyone.
With that said, I don't have any real concern what my wife is texting or doing on social media. Likewise, she doesn't care about what I do. She never looks, or asks, and I don't ask her.
My wife and I aren't one to make FB a journal of our everyday lives. I haven't made a post in a year or so, even though I use FB daily. I also maintain an IG page about on of my hobbies with 10K followers. Wife checks it out from time to time, but generally ribs me that so many people follow me for what she think is a silly reason. I sometimes show her some of the silly messages I get just for a laugh.
I hit the lottery with my wife. I need nothing from anyone else. She has nothing to worry about so I don't play the jealous type needing to know what she is doing 24-7. Likewise, I wouldn't have married her if she was always wanting to know who I was talking to.

Ita.....this is how I feel about my fiance. I feel so lucky.......but he should feel lucky too....
If couples are that conscious of texting or jealous or it's some kinda thing.......IMO they probably shouldn't be together.............trust & being open with each other is what makes a relationship......
