My girlfriend used to check my phone every time were together. Sometimes I feel she don't trust me. How bout you? Do Your partners check up on your mobile phones? What's their reason?

I don't check my boyfriend's mobile phone. I trust him and I just don't have the time.. I mean, whem im with him, i just want to talk to him and spent our time together rather than have a moment of silent to check his mobile phone. He checks mine, but i don't feel irritated.. I think its sweet (it that weird?). Anyway, now that i've come to this realization, i think i should take a look at his messages, but not that often.. Would you advise that?

Well, that's not weird... I also find it sweet at times but when my phone get lowbat that annoys me. maybe because my phone gets lowbat because she checks every inch of my mobile phone eventhough she knew that Im having problem with my battery. :( Well, I think you should take a look at his messages but not as often as your boyfriend did. I also check my girlfriend's phone but not as often as she does. :)

Ok. Last weekend, i did take a look at it. We were at the watching a movie when he pick up his mobile and checked his messages, suprisingly there were 4 new messages from the same person. I just send "wow, someone is missing you that hard". Then he said its his niece, i told him it was a joke and he need not explain whoever it was. He said he felt like explaining and he said i can take a look at his message if i dont believe him. Well, i do believe him so there is really no need to read his inbox. He insisted and i continue to object. But then i remember you and your discussion about messages on cellphones so i told him, ok i'll check. There were 37 messages in his inbox, 4 recent messages from his niece, 8 forwarded messages from his sister, friends and mother. The other 25 messages are from me. I felt embarrassed...

My partner does not usually check my phone, but sometimes she's the one to read my new msgs(when we're together). I on the other hand usally reads her inbox, not for the reason that i doubt her loyalty or what, she usually have loads of quotes contrary to my inbox. Do you know her by any chance? haha.

No, normally my partner does not check my mobile phone, till I specifically asked her to check.
