why do men have problem with gf looking in their phone?

[Rooflesstoofless]

My girlfriend I don't mind looking....my wife wanting to look does make me nervous.

To prevent a facebook post of "OMG, I have THE BEST GF ever" followed by the "HACKED!! OMG OMG LOL LOL" which... isn't hacking... and i like to unfriend those asshats.

Tennisace have made threads using that form before(why do guys/men do something to girls/women(implying women don't do the same something))

But not in a way implying that he himself identifies as female.

I actually do get annoyed at this.

If you're in a relationship you're still allowed private conversations with other people, such as parents, colleagues, friends etc. It's ridiculous to enter a relationship and assume you have full access to any conversations the person is having with anyone at all, and I'd have serious issues with dating any girl that expected it and her motivations (and clear trust issues) for doing it.

It's not a "they're hiding things so obvs cheating" thing. Even if I never mentioned a relationship or my feelings to friends or family, then they should only message me on the assumption my GF will see anything they say too?

There is nothing really wrong with it, but it is a sign of mistrust. If anybody looks through my phone, when i am not there, i would think that they did not trust me. Why did they not just ask if they wanted to know something or see something in my phone. Doing something like that, without asking for permission, is really not good for a relationship.

It's none of her business, and I don't look at hers.

[Jotaux]

I wouldn't care if a significant other looked at my phone, I would are if they did it behind my back. I have nothing to hide but I should be able to trust them as well.

[Eviscero]

Cause he's cheating on you.

[Pancunchi]

cuz we nasty

[thilicen]

Even though I'm not hiding anything on my phone there's still the issue of privacy and a sense of trust. Won't serve anyone well to have these broken.

Why do women have to check the phone? If you cant trust someone then dont be with them, the concept isnt hard.

This is the only thing relevant to this discussion.


The reason people have so much of a problem with their BF/GF looking through their phone is that it is a huge indication that they don't trust you enough to be honest with them, and that they themselves have so little self confidence that they expect to be cheated on, which then causes you to go "Did this person ever even trust me at all, or was I just the next one in line?"

[belfpala]

Can we switch up the question?

How about... Why do women not like it when their bf dumps out the contents of their purse and takes an inventory of the items inside?

[Mistame]

cheating on your wife. stay classy.

Maybe he doesn't want his wife banging her when he's not around to participate/watch. I certainly wouldn't!

I don't have a girlfriend but if I did, I wouldn't mind her looking in my phone to be honest, like, I've got nothing in there I want to hide so go ahead

[Dellis0991]

I don't got anything to hide but I don't want her looking in my phone nor will I look in her phone. If you so suspicious about your girl or boy then you shouldn't be in a relationship with that person in the first place.

[zmp]

Dont have a problem, i use my other phone for secret stuff anyway..

[Deleted]

Guess the jokes on my girlfriend.

Can't look in an iPhone without the right tools to open it up.

[MatthewOU2015]

I don't have anything to hide but unless you got a warrant or subpoena, do not go looking through my phone.

[Ahovv]

This is like asking "Why would a man not be willing to take a lie detector test for his girlfriend to prove his loyalty?" Because whether he cheated or not is irrelevant. You're clearly displaying a lack of trust in your relationship. Is looking through the phone actually going to solve that? Unlikely. Seek council or end the relationship. But don't start snooping around.

why do men have problem with gf looking in their phone? why get so angry if you check their phone if they are away?

because they don't want to get embarassed about how much porn they watch on their phones?
