Do you check your partner's email/cell phone?

When we first got together I always check his phone. But eventually I realize that couple also needs personal space so I stopped checking his phone. I usually check it when my instinct tells me there is something wrong.

Personal space is very important in a relationship! I usually don't check my husbands phone or email unless he asks me to do so. I don't hide anything in mine and would feel violated if I found out someone was snooping in mine because they "felt" something was wrong - that's where honesty and trust come in to play and without them you have nothing.

I really never check my husbands personal accounts. I think it is his personal space and if I go snooping I could find something and misinterpret it and cause serious problems. If my instincts tell me something is not right, I ask my husband and talk with him about my feelings to determine if things are okay or not. I have seen so many people choose to eavesdrop on conversations, check private e-mails, facebooks, etc. They always end up getting hurt and finding things they should not have. I think if your mate has something to share with you and you have created an environment for them to feel comfortable doing it then you should not have anything to worry about.

Yes, I did it always. Checking his cellphone and email was never become a big deal to us. We never keep secret to each other so it's okay for us to do it. Usually he is the one to tell me to check his mails and answer his phone calls and text.
