Why Women Should Respect Cell Phone Privacy in the Relationship
True love is a song that is significantly harmonized in three aspects:
- Physical attractiveness
- Spiritual attraction,
- Respect
When you decide to secretly check his phone, insult and accuse him in front of his friends, or criticize his career choice, you ruin your relationship with your own hands. You broke one of the three aspects above, Respect.
Individual privacy is a person’s right to control access to the private information.
Before you wonder if it is ok to go through your partner’s phone, reflect on the following:
Don’t you hate it when your parents read your diary or your sister keeps barging in your room without asking? If you found out that your partner does cheat on you with another woman, what’s next? Do you still want to be in a full of doubt relationship or leave him?
Why do we like to sneak on your phone?
As a woman myself, I admit that we like to play the detective game. As our relationship is on the rocks, we try to make it clear instead of protecting and strengthening our love, leading to not paying heed to cell phone privacy in the relationship.
A man is smiling, giggling when texting someone is a big red flag that says, “I have feelings for someone else.”
I know a friend who found upon checking her boyfriend’s phone that he was texting back and forth with a younger girl. She chose to observe his affair without giving him a warning or a hint that she knew what he was doing behind her back. She secretly waited to see how his affair turned out, and when he started to go out with his second girlfriend, it’s time for her to show up. We just loved to see the criminal’s face when he got caught with his so-called little girl. The seeing through phones, digging, and spying part is always the best part. So why do we have to confront him too soon?
However, here are the reasons why you should not look through your partner’s phone:
Reason 1: Hard to cut off
Cell phone privacy in a relationship is of utmost importance.
To trust or not to trust is a hard question. But in the end, you need faith to keep loving someone. That way, you can find inner peace and be happy in a long-term relationship.
Can you leave him after going through your man’s phone and finding out about the affair?
If you’re 100% sure that you’re strong enough to move on after this, go ahead, and never see him for the rest of your life. Unfortunately, in most cheating cases caught on a partner’s phone, it hardly leads to a breakup/divorce but a shattered heart and a broken relationship.
Women find it hard to cut off a relationship for many reasons:
- being in a long-term relationship,
- a clinging partner,
- kids without a parent, and many more.
Catching him texting with other girls is not convincing enough to confront him. However, the tragedy begins from here when the woman keeps criticizing and reminding her partner about how he cheated on her. Women forgive but never forget. For the man, a good man may feel guilty as he is now the reason they are not happy anymore. Then he might become desperate and distant himself from his partner.
Reason 2: Nothing suspicious on his phone
In case you go through your boyfriend’s phone and get nothing, how would you respond once he catches you sneakily checking his personal stuff?
No need to say. That is one of the reasons why you should never look at your boyfriend’s phone.
An alpha male’s instinct never let him be under control. With the loss of the basic cell phone privacy in a relationship, what he sees in the relationship is the lack of trust and disrespect.
He’s not your kid. He’s the one you chose amongst others to be your only potential partner for a long-term commitment. He doesn’t deserve to be interrogated and spied on like a criminal.
Reason 3: Being insecure is not S**y
The final reason cell phone privacy in a relationship is important and why you should never spy on husband’s phone or your partner’s phone is it will make you feel more insecure. You may be afraid to lose him, afraid to be cheated on, which makes you less attractive than anyone as you lose your confidence. The more insecure you are, the more you push him closer to his other woman.
“We all have insecurities. What was as a minor concern can become magnified into a major issue within a relationship.” Check out what Susan Winter has to say further about it:
So don’t try to control your man by disrespecting cell phone privacy in your relationship.
Intuition often leads us to make informed decisions. So if your man has his eyes on other girls, you might know it right away without checking his phone. In most cases, the relationship goes bad when the woman chooses to track her man’s phone and disrupts cell phone privacy in a relationship.
You check his phone, go crazy, push him away, and put an end to your relationship. You don’t check his phone, give him a hint, win him back when everything is not too late, not too serious.
Be confident, be beautiful, because when a man is sincerely in love, he will never let you be one of his options.
