happy If you're in a serious relationship, do you think you have the right to see all the messages on your partners phone and emails, and for them to see yours?happy

It's not about your "right" but a trust that there is nothing you shouldn't be able to see.

My bf read text messages one time while I was out of the room and later threw them in my face. All the while they were totally misinterpreted. If I was really doing something behind his back, I certainly wouldn't be keeping them on my phone .. geesh. huh LMAO.

If someone is going to cheat they are going to cheat. Witch hunting only makes YOU look bad. :wink:

It wouldn't even enter my mind...if I even began to have those kind of thoughts/doubts it would be time for me to move right along for both of our sakes.

Jealousy and insecurity are ugly little emotions that do nothing but eat away at you and everything surrounding you.

I have a hard fast rule...I would not do or say or act any differently than if he was standing right beside me, out of respect for our relationship/him. And I certainly expect the same in return.

either you trust them or you don't.
everyone has the right to a little privacy
but without trust there is no relationship

I don't know about the "right" to see them, like on demand, but if there's nothing to hide, I'd be sharing them anyway. If it were something confidential that a friend was sharing with me, like "woman to woman" stuff, NO WAY would I share with anyone. That's CONDIFENTIAL!!

I have no problems with this one either way my ex had all my passwords to my voicemail my text messages even to my yahoo account and I had his. Neither of us had anything to hide from the other one. Did I ever check his e-mail nope nor check his phone either. But I did like having the security of knowing that I could. Now if they tried to keep things hidden I think I would have issues and start to wonder.

no, that's just rediculous. it would be like opening someones letters. your phone and email are personal, and if you want your significant other to see them, then it should be on your terms

A committed relationship is not controlling ownership. You still have a right to some privacy, If I can't trust someone enough to allow them that, we don't belong togather.

This controlling behavior is a red flag. It could be a precursor to abuse.

idk..its a trust thing...
perhaps it could be okay...and if I get an email/txt from a guy and my imaginary boyfriend reads it..it gauges his reaction....and my ability to have male friends..

idk...im all for sharing email passwords..and i dont care who looks on my phone...as long as there is no jumping to any conclusions..

What 'rights' does being in a relationship enable you to have, that you didnt have prior???

Why would anyone need to know their partners every move??? Why would anyone want to impede on their partners private conversations with others???

I have nothing to hide when in or out of a relationship, but does this mean that I want someone seeing and being privy to private conversation I have had with others, sorry but NO. I share what information I want to share and it's no one's right to be able to view private conversations without permission.

I made the mistake only once of going into my livein partners dresser drawer 15 yrs ago and come to think about it,it was probably looking for something stupid like a envulope or tape.But boy was he pissed.Never again!!!!I won't even look to see who is on your cell phone list. noway!I believe the other person has a life and if you want to share with me that is great.

Again as with most problems in relationships it can be handled by talking to your partner...if you don't trust your partner, that is an issue you have to deal with on your own terms.
