Do you think it’s alright for your husband/wife/girlfriend/ boyfriend to check your cell phone when they asked you to show them?
In my option not asking them first is about it means you don’t trust them. I have never checked my husbands phone for whatever reason without him saying hey can you look on my phone or can you keep them for me and check my messages or text message or whatever for me. He does the same for me, of course neither of us have anything to hide but at the sa,e time we have respect for our own things

With my fiancé & I , we don't mind. His phone is mine, mine is his. Sometimes whoever phone is closer we'll just bring one (usually mine). He doesn't mind to use his phone or not, lol. =)
We have nothing to hide & it's an open book when it comes to our phones. Our computers.. then that's different. But we can use each others computers if we want since we have our own log in, but we hardly do cause I don't like his computer & he doesn't like my laptop.

Yes most definitely =) I just mentioned my side and of course not all can relate to mine. But totally some space is cool! Just like my laptop is all mines & his computer is all his.
For us the phone is no biggie =)

I think if they ask to see it then i would let them.but if they took it without asking id would think they did not trust me ..trust is a big issue in a relationship but both parties should be able to see each other's phones if they want to ..as long as they ask ..

Very true! I would still ask outnof respect. When you love someone you respect thjgbs that are not your or your shared things. I also think that a lot of people don’t realized is that some people’s cell phones are there work phone and might not want there work stuff seen because it could be private

@ShyBear88 I will feel bad if someone will do this. Perhaps kids can be possible for parents to do this.

I don't have a cell phone but fiance does. I borrow his phone all the time when I go out. We have nothing to hide from each other.

That’s understandable when there is only one cell phone. My husband has all of his work, and medical stuff on his phone so a lot of that I’m nto allowed to see. I have a lot of babysitting stuff on my phone which I don’t share becud it has family info. It it’s need to be know we tell each other. I never touch his without asking and the same to him to me.

I never look at my husbands phone unless I need to because he can’t.

No, it's not and I also have (a few months ago) an argument with my girlfriend because of that.

You shouldn’t open someone phone without asking it’s very annoying .

My husband and I have no secrets. Sometimes I call from my husband's phone for instanse if my own phone has no battery left. Sometimes he asks me to read his messages aloud if he is driving, and he can't read them himself. He can also borrow my phone anytime.

My boyfriend and I have always looked at / used one another phones. There's absolutely nothing to hide. So no need to make it seem like there is.

Just because two people don’t choice to share the phones doesn’t mean there is something to hind. It’s called privacy. I don’t go looking into people’s stuff my husband things are his not mine. We might be married but not everything is ours. My phone is mine so it’s private’s to me. We each have things on our phone that doesn’t not need to be shared with each other.
In the end it comes down to what type of realtionship you have with someone. I dont think of someone ask they you need to comply either.
