Is it right to read my husband's text messages, or for him to be annoyed about it??


Additional Details
his phone was there, i scrolled through, sometimes i forget my phone at home (for him to read if he wants), i have nothing to hide, i thought, why should he? he didnt stop me reading, just sighed and said "i wont get annoyed" but in a way which suggested he was. Yes, we're having a bit of a rocky time cause he draws very few border lines, whereas i care much for the principled side of things... you're all mostly right, we need to talk? what do i tell him? i can hardly say i dont trust him...

I read my husband's text messages all the time. He doesn't get many. He is not a cheater.

if he hides what hes typing or starts in about privacy and needing it then something is up.....trust is one thing and I never invaded my ex husbands privacy until he started purposefully hiding and insisting on privacy. Thats when I knew something was up. He was cheating with his secretary.

husband & wife are equal, souls are different.i think there would'nt be any problem in doing so.
All the best.

There's nothing wrong to read your husband messages. Unless he is doing anything wrong, if not he won't be feel annoy.

My boyfriend gets annoyed by it... he thinks its a privacy issue, and I agree, but then there is always this nagging... "if you have nothing to hide..." in the back of my head

Depends on if he has something to hide. If there is something to hide, then sounds like you shouldn't be there.

If there is nothing to hide, then why should it matter if you read text messages?

IF HE BOTHERED IT IS BECAUSE HE HAS SOMETHING TO HIDE. I DON'T CARE IF MY HUSBAND READ OR LISTEN MY MESSAGES BECAUSE I'M HONEST WITH HIM

It's not right for you to read them, and it is right for him to be annoyed.

Why are you reading them? Do you suspect him of something? Is he annoyed because you are exhibiting a lack of trust, or is he annoyed because he truly wants to hide his messages from you?

Sounds like you two need to do some talking. Good luck.

I read my partner's text and he reads mine it depends on what you consider is private and what it not.

Wud u permit him to do the same? Be honest and do not spy.

I wouldn't mind if my husband read my messages, because I have absolutely nothing to hide. Perhaps he feels you don't trust him. Do you? Why else would you be reading them.


godly
it is all based on the level of trust,understanding & mutual connection between the two of you.reading his text messages in his presence is quite different from 'stealing' as most women do.but i tell you,men are better actors than us women.now he knows the length you can go,he would use another medium to do the foul things you suspect.do not let him into the secret of your investigation next time.


NIC
I don't know if its right or not, but I do know if he didn't have anything to hide then he shouldn't mind.

This could be answered both ways. One, if u trust him, why read them, by reading them, he may be thinking that u don't trust him and that could hurt. Or he could be annoyed b/c he has something to hide. OR, 2, why shouldn't you read them. There should be nothing to hide or kept secret in a marriage. You should ask him why he gets annoyed, maybe it's just the trust issue and then you can ask him sometimes if you can read the text msgs. Or maybe you two can be on the net together and you can both input the text msgs or whatever. If you are reading them b/c of lack of trust, then you need to talk to him about why u r having this problem and maybe then he will opt to ask you if u want to read them.

No and yes. Everyone deserves some privacy, even among married couples. Why are you reading his messages? do you not trust him? If not, then you'd better talk about that because reading his messages when there's no need to will only create resentment in him. Even though he's married to you, he has a right to some privacy. Would you like him to have total access to everything you write, your phone list, journal, etc.?

You know most girls on here would say no that ur in the wrong,but they know if they had even the slightest bit of thought that they're guy was cheating they would be doing everything in they're power to catch him in the act.I personally say yea, if i was you and i thought that my guy was cheating or getting TOO friendly with another chick i would read his text.And if hes not doing anything behind your back then he shouldn't have any reason to get mad.


steelersfan512
Is he texting an ex? A girl in general? If its something that really concerns you why not talk with him about it?

No it's not - respect his privacy and he will respect yours. break this trust and there's nothing left :)

It shows you don't trust him, he should be annoyed, but he should also have nothing to hide.


Back Off Jack !
If you trust him you wouldn't have to .

It should be just fine, he should have no reason for you not to read them, you are a couple and there should be no secrets, if there are then he is hiding something

Have a GREAT day


Sassy
If there is a trust issue going on here... I suggest not reading the messages if you trust him.


Bert
How would you feel? It makes him feel like you don't trust him. You always have to keep your eyes open but you run the risk of creating a problem if you snoop and he finds out.

hey, can you give me some more details. Your not wrong if you had reason to read his texts
