Do you let your significant other have access to your phone?

I know some couples are private and don't like to share their phones with one another. That involves a lot of trust, and some don't have that. For me, I have nothing to hide, so I will let my girlfriend see my phone if needed. Hell I've let girlfriends in the past use my phone, so I'm pretty much an open book.

I also don't request to see my girlfriends phone. Only time I would is if she is being distant and seems off.

Anyway, do you trust your significant other when they use your phone? Do you trust them enough not to view their phone?

    My mom lets my dad know her passcode to her phone. She doesn't know his. She never felt the need to ask for it. She tells me if she ever did, he would give it to her no questions asked. The reason he has her's is because she commonly needs help with her phone and it makes it easier for him to just get in there or he needs to use her phone when his is having service issues.

    I think that is how it should be. Have your privacy and expect your partner to not need the access but if they have doubts, let them see they have nothing to worry about.

    There's a difference between proximity and access ya dig. I'll let a lady have proximity to my phone say I'm driving and need her to look up something she can be all up in my phone. But will she ever have the password and the authority to pick it up and use at will?

    HELLLLL NO.

    My phone is my personal space and you must be invited.

    I agree! I'm a very private person and I will never give my trust away to just anyone. I have seen first hand when you let the wrong person into your personal business. I watched a former co-worker catch feelings when the woman who he was cheating with, while living with another woman, cheated on him. He blabbed all of her personal business like a bitch because his ego couldn't handle her doing to him what he was doing to someone else. Trust must be earned!

    I never understood that double standard myself.

    On the phone topic I have some partnas that confide in me and they don't want my lady seeing they biz. Letting people all in through your phone does not only compromise your privacy but everyone else who is communicating with you.

    That can backfire if you don't know the pass code you won't be able to use the phone in case of a emergency

    How so? Your loved one should have their own phone. It would have to be a traumatic set of circumstances for their to only be one phone and the owner of the phone is so tore up that they cannot open the phone.

    Yes, I agree im NOT saying to go through your wife or girlfriend phone(that's insecurity). I meant at least have the pass code in case there's a need to make a phone call and your battery is dead. That kinda thing I'm not saying to go through the phone to check and see if she's cheating. Now look up Mr Locario(he's a dating coach who adverises on Tariq Nasheed channel all the time) he thoroughly explains this if you a reasonable reason to believe she's cheating. Again type "Mr Locario phone" on YouTube and check out all the videos about this. Again NEVER GO THROUGH THE PHONE

    My wife has access to everything, as do I have access to anything of my wife's. I've never felt the need to go through anything of hers, purse, laptop, phone.. Nothing. For one, I'm secure in how I treat my wife, I trust her and if anything was going to happen, there's nothing anyone could do about it.

    If I were to step out and do something to violate my wife's trust, there's nothing she can do to stop me, I don't because I love my wife. It's that simple.

    My husband has access to everything. He knows all my pass codes. My last marriage proved to me you don’t need to go through their phone. I was reaching over my ex-husband phone and he tripped out. His friends was there and the way they looked made me know to start making my exit plan. Glad I did coz he left 2 months later. No hard feelings towards him. He left me while I still had my youth 😮‍💨. I was living life when I became single😅. I was married from 18-30.

    When we both have access to ourselves sexually, I don't think there's anything more private and personal in life. So, what's my smartphone privacy that she can't have access to it? I don't think I'm doing something worth hidden from my wife on my smartphone to decline her access to it.

    In all of my relationships, I've allowed the girl I was dating to see my phone if they requested it. I have nothing to hide, so it's no biggie to me. Of course I don't let them go through all of my past texts with friends and family, because that's going too far. Some secrets are in those texts that I've promised to keep. So I can understand not letting them have full access.

    I don't care if she has to make a call, go on social media, search Google etc. Just don't go digging in texts if my family and friends and we're good.

    That's pretty much the way it was with me before my wife and I "jumped the broom"... I definitely feel that...
