Do you still check your partner's phone?

June 28, 2025 2:57am CST
I know people who still feel the need to check on their partners' smartphone from time to time especially when they are suspecting cheating or any other kind of misbehavior. Are these things necessary? Its okay to do such once in a while but when it becomes a regular routine then there is an issue.

I love the way the question assumes that people here checked their partners phones. And it's a no from me I have never done that, and never would.

That's the most sensible thing to do to avoid trouble.

@ogbenishyna44 You could perhaps word the title of your post a bit less assumptive You may well see some normality in checking your partner's phone. That would suggest a bit of mistrust or insecurity on your part. All this stems from the title of your post

@Ineeddentures Thanks for the suggestion. Sometimes I do edit these titles and stil see errors.

Nope. My partner actually had me look through his phone one time because they wanted me to change his ringtone for him. He didn't know how to do it. Needless to say, he clearly doesn't know how to do anything evil with his phone. My partner has also seen the inside of my phone on numerous occasions. We aren't cheating on each other and there's clearly nothing to see. (Though the "phone" cheating always struck me as dumb. Like if you're going to do that, why not get a separate flip phone for that with a number that only you and your "third wheel" know about? Putting that on your main phone is just asking to get caught. I think it's because cheaters want to be found out because they are tired of their main relationships, they don't put effort into actually getting away with it. If I was to investigate a cheating situation, however, I would not rely on a phone check to allay my suspicions.) I'm not interested in cheating, though. I'm a Christian and all I want is a good relationship with a man where I am supported and loved, and I have that with my current partner of over 2 years.
