I’m only asking this because there’s a few married men that I’ve spoken to on dating apps.
I didn’t know they were married until they told me so I take it they were cheating
My question is, as a spouse how do you not check your partner‘s phone?

I used to check my exes phone. I have so much anxiety when my current partner has his phone even remotely close to me. I am not that strong 😭 ignorance is bliss atp. I don’t put anything past nobody

My motto is that if someone can take him he was never mine anyway. He can be their problem 👋🏼

I’ve done this in the past with previous boyfriends but only because they were giving me reasons to. In 6 years I’ve not once gone through my husband’s phone, but that’s because he’s just never given me any reason to.

I check phones. That's something I'm upfront about before we're even officially a couple so if they're not cool with that then they don't have to be with me but I'm always gonna look out for me and be informed on what my partner gets up to online 🤷🏻
Edit: I do trust him, that's why I trust that when I look at his phone I'm not gonna see anything sketchy or inappropriate. A partner that doesn't want me to look at their phone or online activity isn't someone I could see as trustworthy.

My partner and i recently opened to the possibility of a 3rd in the bedroom, so I know he has bumble and I have it on my phone as well so I can see any and all activity

I want to trust my partner, and I don't want to get caught up in worries and anxiety. Which I know regularly checking his phone would cause more of.

Very easily? Never wanted to or needed to check 🤷♀️ we trust each other.

I trust him 🤷🏻♀️ I have no reason not to trust him. If I didn’t, I wouldn’t go through him phone; I would split up with him

I don't bother checking his phone cuz I don't know Spanish and most people he talks to text/speak in Spanish. So I've just had to learn to accept that if he ever cheats, I'll never really know.

Never. My partner has gladly given me his phone before when I was in hospital and my phone was dead. If one’s phone is closer at the time we use that to check something 🤷♀️ if you’re worried he’s cheating then maybe ya’ll should sit and have a chat

If I had suspicions or didn’t trust my husband, I wouldn’t be in the relationship. If you feel so inclined, maybe he’s not the one for you?

We don't have access to each other's phones.

It’s genuinely never crossed my mind

If my partner was cheating I'd be more surprised he found the time 😅
But I'm a believer that the truth ALWAYS comes out so I'm not going to be checking phones although I have full access anyway

I can access my husband's phone but ive never had reason to think hes cheating. He works way too much to have time to cheat lol.

Never, over 7 years together and I never will. It's unhealthy in my opinion and makes it appear there's no trust.

Nope 😂 I check his Amazon to c what he wants for holidays bc if I ask he doesn’t know and yet his saved for later always has a few wants in there 😅
