We respect one anothers privacy, and cellular phone is part of individuality. So I ask you my friends, do you let your partner look at your celphone or answer the phone for you when you are not there? Others would say yes, whats to hide but others would say definitely no. Well for me, we respect one another's privacy so we don't hold or look at the phone without permission.

Hi dear, I don't have a restriction on my or any mobile phones at home. I have 4 mobiles and all are free to use for all at home. Although it is categorised by number wise and I got a number of mine. But if I am at home, all others will call from mobile and I used to call with other mobiles also. All my mobile details are transparent to my home and I don't keep any confidential or private details or material in my mobile phone. My wife and children use my phone whenever I am at home and I don't hide anything from them. Thank-s

Well thats good to hear that you are transparent with your wife I just noticed that some dont allow their partners hold their celphone. yeah, me too I do respect one's privacy but yes it will send a bad signal once you dont let your partner look at your celphone.

Me and my husband is like a best friend we want to know ever thing on each other and we don't want to hide anything for each other so its okay for us to look at each other phone but if someone send a text message to us and some one call us we still asking each other if its okay that me/him is the one that will answer the call or text message. We also asking each answer what i will answer in the call or in a text message.

Hello celeste, I have not restricted my phone for my husband. But he is not so keen to check my mobile phone. I strictly restricted my mobile from my kids now, the reason; my three year old is very fond of taking pictures and after taking pictures it automatically go to the send picture option. Recently I deleted lot of unsent messages from outbox, thank God, the messages has not gone otherwise I would have a bankrupt now. I know he is not doing intentionally; he keeps on pressing the button and it gone like that…

I don't have a boyfriend now but even if i had then i would have no problem if he checks my mobile because i have nothing to hide from him.If i am faithful in my relationship then i have no fear if checks my calls or msgs as for receiving the call only my mom or relatives call he can't receive because it would create a bad impression on them.

I respect one's privacy even to my partner. But we both allow each other to hold and look at my/his cellphone. We both have have no secrets to each other so there is no problem if he look at cellphone even without permission.

If my partner will notice me that she want to hold my cell phone, I will let her. But if she just take it without noticing me, I would be sad. Even though you trust each other, there should still have privacy with each other.

My partner and I look at each other's phones all the time----we don't read each other's messages or check out each other's call logs. When at home our phones are usually just on a table and when his phone beeps I look at it when he's not there so I could tell him that he's got a message from this or that person. He does the same. I would never ask to read his messages and he doesn't ask me as well. Sometimes we show each other messages from our phones when we want to share about it. I think I;d be annoyed if I was with a guy who wanted to read all of my messages in my phone. However, if he asks, I'd let him, since that would show that I have nothing to hide.

I don't mind if my partner reads my messages as long as he asks permission. Mainly because I don't like anybody touching my things ^_^

Of course I do. I don't have any secret to hide from my wife. Sometimes as an act of respect each other belonging, we don't look to other cell phone.

My husband and I never check each other's phone unless one permits the other to do so. As what you've said cellphone is part of our individuality and such privacy should be respected. I answer my husband's calls only when there is an order from him. I don't even check his contact list or his messages. He doesn't even check mine too. We both have respect and trust for each other.

I would generally say yes if you trust them then why would you mind if your partner looked at or even answered your phone. To me not letting a partner do this shows you have something to hide or could at least send mixed signals in a way which can be fatal in any relationship.
