Our great grand parents used to stay married till death do apart but today people are extremely busy jumping from one spouse to another as a hobby. I believe that God said and the two shall become one, so if you are one then why would you want to have secrets in your relationship?

I agree with you. Nothing to hide.
Let's get back to 1982 and stay there!
When I was 20 (1991) there was no cell phones and no internet, oh what happy days!

Nothing should be something one wants to hide. I never looked in my husband wallet nor he in mine. I have no idea what is on my guys phone nor him on mine. I was taught to respect privacy by my parents. If a couple are true, then there should be no interest.

The song "Suspicious minds" comes to mind.

When my partner insists on going through my phone, checking on me etc., I would turn around and run like hell! That, to me, is a red flag, a clear indication of controlling behaviour. I've learned to always listen to my inner voice. One of the few things I regret, is ignoring that voice. I find it easier to forgive others, than to forgive myself.

Nah... I cannot imagine living like that.

lifelong relationship is the rarest. Only few lucky people get it.

I don't believe that being in a relationship requires one to tell the other person, or give them access to, everything. Privacy is a valued commodity for everybody. (Not every friendship rises to the level of deceit or cheating, etc....) Why do we even "think" this way? I can remember both my grandparents, who, by the way, were absolutely totally in LOVE with each other, say from time to time, "hey, let's not tell Grandpa/Grandma about this, OK?" Women have long held personal feelings and information of one kind or another from their husbands, and husbands have done so as well. It is OK to have a private life even though married. jmo

I would find it weird. There were many times when my fiancee's phone was flat or vice versa and we would leave the other on charge and just take the one phone. We both had access to all our laptops and computers, emails, and we had shared bank accounts. There's no way I'd ever stay in a relationship where we acted like we were still single...

Hi rohaan,

Unhealthy jealousy leads to insecurity and lack of trust. This could turn into a toxic relationship. Harbouring those little boats of insecurities over a period of time could destroy relationships, leaving you exhausted and drained. Almost like living with a narcissist. Some believe jealousy is the epitome of love. To me, it's quite the opposite.

From time to time, I value my freedom and solitude. More importantly, I know my value and don't give discounts.

Guess that's why I'm still on my own.

I'm doomed

It's hard to imagine being in a relationship where your partner's honesty is a concern ... why even stay together?

I would only check if he was acting strange and things seem different. You kind of know in your stomach when something isn’t right. Otherwise I would trust them and no intrude.

There's more than one way to look at this. Relationships frequently fail because one or both parties feel their individuality (which includes right to privacy) has been compromised. If there is suspicion and/or jealousy in a relationship then it is already crap.

You are NOT doomed. You are very sage. There is absolutely nothing wrong with defending and protecting yourself. Remember the adage "TO THINE OWN SELF BE TRUE". It is still as valid as ever. Blessings to you.....teddybear
