Do you check you partner's phone?

Question of life, right?

Most of us can relate to this.

There's no telling how many relationships have broken up after one partner saw a message or picture,  proving that the other partner was cheating. Sometimes, the relationships breakup without any evidence of cheating but just because the other person felt like trust had been breached by the partner who went snooping.

For some people, it's intuition while for others, it's insecurity.


I heard someone say the other day that we live in a world where it's okay to touch each other's private parts but it's not okay to touch each other's phones because they're private.  Lol

There was a story of a lady who went through her husband's phone only to see messages from his mistress and how they planned to kill the wife to get her out of the way.



Another story was that of a lady whose man went through her phone only to find a message from some guy who was praising the lady's sexual prowess.

So many issues like that.

Some people say what you don't see won't hurt you and have decided to save themselves heartache by leaving their partner's phone alone.

Other couples have decided to be transparent, you can check my phone and I can check yours. This method, I hear has made some men acquire separate mobile phones that never come into the home with them. It is always in the compartment of the car.

Some have told their partners bluntly that if they go through their phones, then it's up to them to handle whatever they see. Did I hear someone say such a statement can only happen in Africa?

If you have a reason to doubt your partner, then there's something seriously wrong and needs to be resolved as soon as possible.
