checking on his phone doesn't totally mean ur not trusting him...well of course if theres nothing for him to hide, why wouldn't he let you right? but like they said , u shud not do that too often.. just occasionally. lol.. if ur in a serious relationship,sneaking in each others phones is no big deal..so sometimes it depends on both of you.

yes, some will say that. People have different views regarding that..so its better if you try to ask ur hubby if what does he think about you browsing his phone...the bottomline is..also try to be sensitive in what your partner feels bcoz even if its just a phone, it is his personal property, you know guys.. as long as you know that he can be trusted, that he knows how to deal with girls flirting or sending some text messages, everything will be alright.. Anyways, if you think something is wrong..you have your woman's intuition...you will know. :-)

sneaking with the phone of ur hubby is a sign that your not trusting him, if he caught you reading his mssgs what would you say, that your only checking if he's doing something or if he is cheating? common you might end up fighting. sometimes we need privacy, unless u want to share it

But you must test and allow you to do things to gain your trust if you don't know him that much. Or you can just mk background check . hehe

Hmmm, I don't really do this but I guess it depends on the situation. If you feel something's wrong with your husband and that your intuition is telling you that he's hiding someone (not something) in his mobile, I guess it's alright to snoop a little. But I do believe that a good communication will help a lot. I think you should not do this unless you feel something's amiss. I mean you should trust your husband by not checking up his things. That will save you from paranoia.

its ok.. but you must not do that too often.. he will think that you dont trust him.. and you dont know him really well.. you must think what he will feel if you always do that to him.. if you really love him, just trust him.. you and him will have a happy relationship so you must stop doing that!

Yeah, I also do the same thing as well as my boyfriend.. We check on each other phones.. To read messages, to see pictures and to play games.. We do this not becuase we dont trust each other. We just have to as part of our relationship.

Browsing your boyfriend's/girlfriend's cellphone is not okay! If you enter into a relationship, you will build trust with your partner. Trust is one of the very important values in entering into a relationship. If you are doubtful or if you are suspecting that your boyfriend/girlfriend has some hidden agenda on his/her phone, then your relationship will not last. Secondly, if you enter into a relationship it doesn't mean that you are already one. You are not married yet. Each of you has to maintain its own entity and his/her right of privacy. Lastly, browsing the cellphone of your boyfriend/girlfriend is a sign of disrespect to him/her.

Really? but if he is not hiding for anything then need not to worry right? how about if there were some girls who are keep on texting your partner? For me prevention is better that cure... Ü

I dont think there is anything bad in looking on to your partenr's cell phone.you love your partner and the same is expected back,so i dont think there must be any problem in checking at each others cell phone because the relationship between the two need to be very transparent and their is nothing like one is getting into the personal affairs of others since their cant be anything personal that they doesnt know each other.but one thing i have to tell you is that you should not be looking into your cell phone doubting his relationhip with you because if tat happens to be the case,then this will really spoil your relationship.let me tell you that no relationship exists without trust.

If you don't trust your husband you should question your husband and the relationship, not just the phone.

well, i guess browsing your boyfriend or girlfriends cell is fine! because i believe that if your faithful or really honest to each other then there is no reason for both of you to hide...or scares on something.right? Ü

It's ok, but the premise is not to be found, laughter, I wanted to see the other side of the phone means that you care a lot about him, too depends on a person wanted to know everything he, but not frequently, occasionally let the other side to keep some impression of mystery.

haha... i do that all the time (secretly). sometimes, i got caught in the act. hey, its ok to sniff around if you feel like something fishy is going on. The thing is, if he's OK with it then there is no wrong in you doing it.. but not that often okay... he'll be feeling insecure if you do that way too often..

Hi, I hope it is ok as both you love each other from open heart let that heart be open forever. Let no secrets between you make any barriers. Actually if there is nothing to found in that phone ,I hope more trust and effect will be flown. It is like communicating without any thing to hide from each other. A part of true love, Love from heart. What ever your hubby has yours what you has is his. Your both are just one soul.

i sometimes read the inbox of my bf's cellphone...but my intention is definitely not to check if he's cheating...anyway, he lets me read hsi messages...i guess if you're doing that without his knowledge and consent, you're showing mistrust in your partner...so, why not try to ask if you can borrow his phone...then if he won't let you have it, that's the time to suspect...

Its alright to check it as long as you wont go asking him things that he would definitely go huh? I sometimes check my bf's phone, just browsing that's all hahaha...to check if messages of my friends. We swapped numbers that's why so i don't really need to check his as I have his number. It is hard and so annoying because there are girls who texts him and Im the one who gets it, and somtimes i hve to like ask him who the girl is and start arguing. We end fine though after it. I just have to think that those are part of his past when we were not together but now were back were starting for a new one again..

My fiance and I trust eachother enough not to think we need to check on the other's cellphone. We know eachother well enough that we have a sense of what the other person is doing. Believe it or not, if one of us were to cheat, the other would recognize it even without having to check. We would not check until we were 100% sure, and then the purpose would only be for the collection of evidence.

I think it's absolutely ok. There should be no secret between your soul mate. Although trust should be established between you and your spouse, but by browsing it and found nothing wrong will strengthen the trust. Besides, it's a good way to prevent yourself to do wrongful things if you aware that your partner will browse through your cell phone. Besides, I think that cheater lost the right of keeping their privacy.

i thought you were married by saying hubby above there :) now he's your bf.. anyways, first of all, you must know why are you really browsing over his phone. if you browse it with a clean conscience then its ok. it is not good to live a relationship under the domain of doubt, distrust and lack of confidence. it will not do good to both of you.

i think it's ok to browse and check your husband's phone., but doubting his loyalty and fidelity to you is not a good thing.,
