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.

Sorry- equal blame here, as no one was trusted or respected.

Exactly

Don't get me wrong that if she did go snooping and not the iPhone going straight to the conversation when unlocking, she deserves blame. But, I will always put more blame on the person who treats their SO as crap like the OP did.

I won't. Snooping through someone's phone is a serious breach of trust and a dealbreaker. Sorry- equal blame.

Plus we only know the OP's side of the story.
 
Go look in the mirror and say," Bad Phone, bad bad phone! this is all your fault!" She wouldn't look through your phone if you weren't hiding something maybe. The phone has no morals, but you might. So maybe you can track her down, and explain things to her, or not.
 
That's why I have a passcode :) but yeah don't leave those kinds of texts on your phone, just a bad idea..
 
You shouldn't talk about anyone — significant other or otherwise — behind their back in a way you wouldn't talk to them face to face. If someone you're with isn't comfortable with something personal being discussed publicly than the subject needs to be broached privately. An inability to speak frankly about something like sex might be an indication of broader reaching jealousy issues or personal baggage, or merely a personal choice that needs respecting.

That said, your privacy is one of your most fundamental rights, and you should neither give it away lightly nor tolerate it's infringement or encroachment by any party.

From the information available here it does look like the OP probably said something stupid and decidedly masculine — and I'd love to lament about the trashy state of MTV raised young men — but his right to privacy trumps any adolescent misstep.
 
I wouldn't say she's crazy just because she looked at your phone... As a girl who's had a couple BAD relationships I wouldn't say it would never cross my mind. What's the problem if you have nothing to hide?

If what she saw was misconstrued by her then the fact she blew up about it probably shows there was no trust in you from her point of view anyway so it's probably a good thing it happened...

My thoughts exactly. If you invade someone's privacy, you often get what you deserve.

So if I had suspicions of my girlfriend cheating on me, and looked at her phone to see if my suspicions were correct and it turned out to be true, I deserved to be cheated on? :confused:

so i go to the washroom and i come back and she asks me, what does "she's pretty easy that way" mean?... Yup, she read my text messages to a friend of mine where i was telling him about "getting some". She says she feels
betrayed and cut all contact. I dont really care because i also found out she's a crazy b for snooping on my phone. Guys, make sure you establish a rule with your girl that your phone is off limits! Do you let your girlfriends play with your phone?

Put a passcode on the phone, dude. It's really that simple.

No- you deserve to lose your girlfriend.

If someone did that to me, they'd lose me in a split second- no questions asked.

Yeah, but it's as much his fault as it is hers. She shouldn't have gone looking through his phone. He shouldn't have been talking about her like that.

They're both better off without each other.

Agreement?

Yes, agreement. A relationship where respect was lacking on both sides.

Yes, and sometimes he fans me with a palm leaf and feeds me grapes.

But, of course, already de-stoned, I trust?
 
You know it really doesn't matter how she found it on his phone. It was there and she saw it. If he's messing around on her, was her choice to say ok I'm gone don't need this crap.

"And the truth shall set you free."

If you never would have said that in the first place... This never would have happened ;)
