Do you check your partner‘s phone often for dodgy stuff/cheating

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?

Edit: how can you not check your partner’s phone?
How do you fully trust that he’s not cheating or something?

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.

Avatar

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

Avatar

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

Avatar

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.

Avatar

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

Avatar

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?

Avatar

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

Avatar

It’s genuinely never crossed my mind

Avatar

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

Avatar

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.

Avatar

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

Avatar

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 😅

Random question

Hi guys random question does anyone use Clearpay and have gift card?? That I could potentially use? I get money every Saturday but it’s only my CB so I could send it from that. I’m just struggling at the moment and need to get a few bits in for the kids. I get my uc on the 1st of every month. I’ve had an unexpected bill this month and it’s left me short.

Please don’t judge


Thank you everyone

Does anyone else just crave a sister like friendship?

I’m an only child so I’ve never had a sisterly connection. I’ve spent most of my adult life wishing to be a best friend to someone, or part of a close girls group. I’ve missed out on the ‘partying’ the ‘girls group chat’ era. Why is it so hard to make friends as you get older? I’ve just turned 30 and it feels like I’ve missed out on this era of life completely - I feel so old 😂

Looking for a friend

Looking for my person 🥹💕 Anyone else here hoping to find a genuine best friend? I’d love someone I can talk to about literally anything, laugh with, make plans with, and build a friendship that actually lasts. If you’re looking for the same, please come say hi!
