His Story: I have an active social life which involves talking to a lot of women. I am a married man and I know where to stop but I can also see my wife feels threatened. I have always been very honest with her but I have a feeling she checks my phone in my absence. I feel spied on and I don’t know what to do because I feel like my privacy has been compromised. I have nothing to hide, I tell her everything, I try to make her feel secure so why check my phone?
Relationship Expert, Shahzeen Shivdasani: Yes, technically checking your partner’s phone without their permission is a breach of privacy. However, in a relationship, if trust has been broken and your significant other is trying to make you trust them again, then with their permission for a short period of time, it is okay to check their phone. This way trust and safety can be rebuilt. However, this should not become a habit. In relationships where trust has never been broken, if one partner decides to sneakily check the other partner’s phone then this could be an indication of past trauma with trust, or that the current partnership never had it in the first place.
