Bragging about things like that never leads anywhere good. Same goes for not having a lockscreen on your iPhone. I hope you learned your lesson(s).

As to your question, I'm married and we're not secretive with one another. We both know each other's passwords/lockscreen codes, PINs, etc. We don't talk shyte so it's no problem.

Same with me and my boyfriend and we've only been together for 6 months.
 
Well at least you can use your iPhone with one hand...sounds like you'll be using your other for something else for the distant future given the way you talk about women. :rolleyes:
 
your iphone didn't cause ****. you did.

but seriously, why would you even want a girl who can't trust you and has to snoop through your private ****?
 
Passcode. Passcode. Passcode.

I really don't have much to hide, but everyone knows how easy it is to misinterpret a text message...
 
OP- if this woman is going to be that sensitive about things like this, you're better off without her. The fact that she started snooping on your phone makes that even more true. You're the one whose privacy was invaded. If I were you, I'd be pretty angry with her. That kind of invasion of privacy would be grounds for a break up for sure.

Be glad she walked away. You don't need that kind of person, and you certainly don't need the drama. This is a blessing in disguise.
 
OP, if this woman tries to come back, do NOT take her. She's already demonstrated that she doesn't respect your privacy. She will only do worse if you get back together.
 
My boyfriend can snoop through everything I own - I have nothing to hide. If I did, then I shouldn't be in the relationship. Given his line of work, I probably couldn't hide anything even if I tried - but still!
 
He clearly doesn't respect her either so how is he any better?

I didn't say he was. But this is clearly a bad match. She had no right to do what she did. I would never do that to someone, that's for sure.

My advice to the OP would be to date someone who's not so sensitive and invasive next time.
 
Eh, my girlfriend doesn't know the password to my phone. Although she doesn't really need to, there's nothing to hide. I mean, if she asks, I'll put in the password, unlock the phone, then give it to her. I have no problem with her 'snooping' around my phone.

There's the difference. The OP was not consulted.

Maybe he also shouldn't say things like "she's easy" behind their back as well.

Regardless- read what I said. This is obviously a bad match.

I can tell you this- if someone invaded my privacy in that way, I would drop them faster than a hot potato, even if there was nothing to hide. What if they saw something about you or your family that you were not yet ready to discuss and then made assumptions and judgments based on that information? It is the absolute height of disrespect and mistrust. Anybody does that to me- bam! They''re gone. I don't care if they saw nothing. They are well beneath my respect and trust at that point.

We also don't know how she ran into that text message. Was that a conversation they were just having and she went to use his phone and the friend just replied so when she unlocked the phone, it went straight to the conversation?

Either way, I put more blame on the OP than the now ex-GF.
