No, I don't have this happen.

My wife respects my privacy. She has never used my phone unless I have handed it to her so she can see something specific. She does not go through my things or my wallet or anything else.

She respects my privacy and I respect hers. And if I was not the type to respect her privacy there would have been hell to pay a long time ago. She jealously guards her things and if anyone is caught with them (including our kids) without permission they are in for it.

Next year will be 20 years of marriage.
Congrats on 20 years!

I've also celebrated 20 years of marriage as of this year and there ain't no such thing as privacy with my wife. But then again I reached Elite status at Best Buy for 2016. Not so sure I want to tell her that tidbit. But hell, I don't see her complaining about the picture quality on the 1080p projector in the bedroom.

Every woman is different. That's one of the reasons the manual is encyclopedic.
 
Bro, same iCloud account, she goes through your phone etc?

That's not healthy. You are you own person wit privacy and boundaries.

So, me and my wife both have iPhones, and we both upgrade at the same time, so we both have the same generation. I have a 7+ and she has a 7. Anyhoo, at least once a day I go to where I last left my phone and it's gone. I look over and my wife has it, surfing the web or checking facebook, with her phone sitting right next to her. When we are out and about, she will usually ask to use my phone to look up directions or respond to a group text we are both on.

I tried to explain to her that our phones are bacially the same (in the past they were the same) and she could use her own phone for all these tasks, but it doesn't seem to matter. Basically, anytime we are together, she always seems to prefer to use my phone instead of hers, at least until my battery dies. Of course, once my phone is dead she urgently needs hers lol. Sometimes it feels like she has 2 phones and I have none.

Does anyone else's significant other seem to prefer your iPhone, even though theirs is perfectly fine?
 
My wife's is password protected and fingerprint protected. She has yet to tell me her passcode but I don't really care to know it. She loves her 6s and I have a SE so she never touches my phone except to threaten to throw it when the ESPN app goes off in the middle of the night :)
 
That's a funny story, but why not just change the name to hers in FB settings?

Partly can't be arsed changing it after all these years, parly think it would be funny people wondering why I've suddenly started liking kitten videos and lipstick :D But mostly I've apparently got a lot of family who talk to me on it, I say apparently because who are these people that I don't talk to on the phone, text or visit :p Unless it's something important that requires her asking me a question I grunted at her years ago, ach you do it, you know what I'd say. It's like having a secretary away from work, she even makes terrible coffee :D

There's a manual? Where can I lay my hands on a copy of that? I've only just got through teaching mine that the handbrake in the car isn't an air freshener just because the smell of burning goes away when she takes it off.

Nope. We both have the 7 Plus, so no need for her to use mine. :)

Nope. Not here.

Sounds like she's just keeping her battery from dying. She doesn't care if you have a dead battery.
