Allow significant others access?

11 Comments

Do you allow your significant others access to your phone? I for one view it as an invasion of privacy, whether I am hiding something or not.

Yes, I allow them access. 16
No, I will not allow them access. 10
Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

    I don't care if someone has my phone , I just don't want them reading everything in it . The only reason for this is because of the other persons privacy . If they suspect something , read away because I don't cheat or lie .

    I'd give them access, though I wouldn't give them free-range 24/7. If I'm using it, I'm using it. If they want to see it, they're going to have to wait.

    It depends really. Is she getting on there to snoop around because she doesn't trust you, or is she just wanting to use your phone for some reason? If it's the former, I don't pander to that type of behavior and would not be okay with it. If it's the later, then you need to stop throwing such a fit and giving her reasons to distrust you.

      I'm not talking about anyone specifically for I do not have a partner, but the distrust thing you mention makes sense. Personally, its mainly my text conversations - I get very into my conversations with people (we'll talk about "deep" things) and I just prefer for those to remain private. I don't really have anything to hide, but there's just an idea that has developed itself overtime deterring me from allowing anyone to use my devices.

        I could potentially be in a unique situation, but how is it you have this problem? I don't know anybody who would use my phone without my explicit permission, It's like a social taboo or something. You just don't DO that.

    This isn't an issue if you are in a solid relationship.

    I don't have anything to hide. Sure, why not? Just don't change my ringtone or set up some crazy alarm or something at 3 am.

    What could one possibly have on their phone that they might wish to hide from their partner, other than plans for a surprise party, perhaps.
    If you've got secrets on your phone, then you don't have a relationship that's worth the title of relationship; it's more like a fuck buddy thing, certainly not even worth a 'friends' with benefits title. It seems such a half assed relationship.
    Why do you need privacy from someone who is supposed to be your best friend, the love of your life and the one person with whom you should be able to share anything?

      Agreed - so long as you're not snooping through and youre just doing what you need to do on it, then so be it.
